NETWORK WITH ISOLATED NODES

摘要

A stationary short-range wireless communication device (24) acts as a node (12) of a network (10) where nodes (12, 14, 16) are isolated from each other and comprises a communication unit detecting at least one mobile wireless device(18) in the vicinity of the node (12), a data memory (42) provided for node data (ND)and a control unit controlling the transfer of data between the stationary short-range wireless communication device (24) and the mobile wireless device(18), which transfer comprises the transfer of node data (ND). The mobile wireless device(18) comprises a data memory for node data (ND) and a control unit (60) that receives the data from the node (12)comprising node data (ND), stores the node data (ND) in the data memory, determines if the mobile wireless device(18) is in the vicinity of another network node and if so transfers the node data to the other network node.
