Method and process for autonomous human data muling using electronic communication devices

摘要

The present invention is related to a method of transferring sensor data in a delay insensitive network through wireless medium conforming to WiFi standards using smart devices as mules. The method works seamlessly without using extra processing cycles or data bandwidth than what would normally be used by the standards. The method also works without disturbing the owner of the smart device (Mule) for any permission. The innovative method uniquely embeds the sensor data as part of the IP address and uses the address as the carrying mechanism of the data itself. When the smart device reaches the vicinity of the collection hub, the method in the collection hub uniquely elicits the sensor data which is embedded in the IP address by initiating an ARP sequence at the smart device. Once the data is obtained the connection is terminated. The method works in any smart device that uses WiFi standard.

1. A method, comprising;
receiving a sensor data from a sensor using a Sensor Access Point (SAP) and embedding the sensor data in an IP address format using an electronic communication device; retrieving the embedded sensor data from the internet protocol (IP) address provided as part of the address resolution protocol (ARP) sequence by a mule to the access point in a collection hub; associating an access point at the collection hub with an access client uniquely by not providing the IP address and forcing the mule to initiate the (ARP) request and providing a pre learnt IP address for communicating; and transferring the embedded sensor data contained inside the IP address format to the mule to the collection hub.
