A wide variety of devices is being installed in various environments such as homes, factories, and streets with the rapid expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT). To properly and securely use IoT devices, the states of various devices that have different properties and protocols must be managed. However, it is difficult to understand the consistency of an individual device when its installation place or software changes, since many individual IoT devices do not have unique identifiers. In this paper, we propose an architecture that estimates individual devices by analyzing and combining multiple pieces of information that can be obtained from the device. This architecture estimates individual device identity based on the time change pattern of the feature amount extracted from a signal transmitted by a device. Results of a simulation revealed that this architecture could identify the individual devices to find the correct device.
