International Classification:

H04M 1/725
H04W 24/10
H04W 4/22

Abstract:

A method (of operating a remote host in a network of discretely-mobile wireless parameter-sensing nodes (e.g., mobile phones), each node including sensors for sampling values of parameters that are at least one of internal to and ambient to the node, respectively, and circuitry to collect data representing the sampled values, respectively, and send the same to a remote host) includes: receiving the collected data from the discretely-mobile nodes, respectively; organizing the collected data into groups according to proximity of the corresponding nodes, respectively; determining group-specific ranges regarded as typical based on the collected data corresponding to the groups, respectively; recognizing, within the groups, respectively, if there are one or more nodes exhibiting atypical collected data; and adaptively instructing, within the groups, respectively, at least one of the nodes to execute one or more tasks that are responsive to the determination of atypical collected data.

International Classification:

H04W 24/08
H04W 84/18
H04W 36/30

Abstract:

A wireless parameter-sensing node in a network thereof, the parameter-sensing node includes: sensors to sample values of parameters, respectively; a memory; a collection engine configured to: selectively collect data representing at least some of the sampled values, respectively; and store the collected data in the memory; an omega engine configured to: retrieve selected portions of the collected data from the memory; and send the selected portions to a remote host; wherein at least one of the collection, the storage, the retrieval and the sending are performable according to one or more reconfigurable collection-control criteria, one or more reconfigurable storage-control criteria, one or more reconfigurable retrieval-control criteria and one or more reconfigurable reporting-control criteria, respectively, stored in the memory. The parameter-sensing node and the remote host relate, e.g., as a taskee-client and a taskor-server, respectively.
