Description

I suggest adding sub device types (sub-types will not affect the current baseline result, but will give specifics about the type of device):

sub type base type
post scanner smartphone or peripheral
post terminal smartphone or table or peripheral
home cinema tv
projector tv
laptop desktop
nootebok desktop
printer peripheral
ebook reader tablet
watch watches
headset watches
glasses watches

for those who use the device.type will not change anything.
if there is a subtype, it will be returned to device.sub_type

What do you think about this idea?
