Transportation support network utilized fixed and/or dynamically deployed wireless transceivers

摘要

An application that creates a dynamic ad hoc network by wirelessly linking a plurality of mobile Bluetooth transceivers. The dynamic ad hoc network enables communication between a transmitting Bluetooth transceiver and a receiving Bluetooth transceiver through at least one intermediary Bluetooth transceiver exclusive of other higher power consuming and expensive communication protocols, such as cellular networks. The network provides a number of solutions, including transportation management, traffic alerts, traffic telematics, information associated with road signs, warnings of speed limit changes, navigation, emergency scenarios (more specifically in a condition where a cellular network is inoperable or unavailable), etc. Navigation can utilize GPS, motion sensors, references from RF beacons signals, and the like to determine a user's location and routing.

主权项

1. A method of establishing a dynamic mobile device communication network comprising steps of:
establishing a dynamic network between a plurality of Bluetooth transceivers, the dynamic mobile device communication network comprising:
at least a portion of said Bluetooth transceivers of said plurality of Bluetooth transceivers are mobile and traveling along at least one transportation route within a localized area, andwherein each of said Bluetooth transceivers of said plurality of Bluetooth transceivers is in signal communication with at least one other Bluetooth transceiver of said plurality of Bluetooth transceivers; establishing an identification code for the dynamic mobile device communication network; including an identification code within a beacon identifier portion of a beacon signal identifying each Bluetooth transceiver of said plurality of Bluetooth transceivers as being included in the dynamic mobile device communication network; and transmitting said beacon signals including said identification code within the beacon identifier portion of a beacon signal to identify each Bluetooth transceiver as being included in the dynamic mobile device communication network and maintain each Bluetooth transceiver within the dynamic mobile device communication network, receiving said beacon signal by a receiving Bluetooth transceiver within said dynamic mobile device communication network; decoding said beacon signal to obtain said identification code from said beacon identifier portion of said beacon signal, utilizing the identification code to acquire information, wherein said information is acquired exclusive of a pairing between a transmitting Bluetooth transceiver within the dynamic mobile device communication network and said receiving Bluetooth transceiver within the dynamic mobile device communication network.
