Abstract: Portable electronic devices can be used to perform tracking functionality through the exchange of proximity messages. Based on the payload in these messages, a mobile device can detect whether a portable electronic device is likely performing unwanted tracking. The mobile device user may wish to identify an account that is associated with the portable device. In response to a request from the mobile device, the portable electronic device can provide a partial identifier that can be used to determine an associated account. The portable electronic device can also provide information that the mobile device can use to locate disablement instructions that can show how to stop the portable device from performing tracking functionality.
