Abstract
A router configured to receive and distribute data comprises a capability parameter receiver configured to receive capability parameters from at least two devices that are connected to the router. Moreover, the router includes a device configurator configured to select and/or configure at least one of the devices under consideration of the capability parameters. Furthermore, the router includes a payload receiver to receive data from at least one of the devices, and a payload distributor to distribute data to at least one of the devices. Moreover, the invention concerns a corresponding method for receiving and distributing data. Moreover, a vehicle with a router according to the invention is provided.
Claims20
A router for receiving and distributing data, the router comprising:
- a capability parameter receiver configured to receive capability parameters from at least two devices configured to be connected to the router;
- a device configurator configured to select and/or configure at least one of the at least two devices based on the capability parameters;
- a payload receiver configured to receive first data from the at least one of the at least two devices;
- and
- a payload transmitter configured to distribute second data, which is based on the first data, to another one of the at least two devices,
- wherein the router is part of a mobile telephone, an implant, a watch, eyeglasses, a hearing aid, a belt, an ankle monitor, a piece of jewelry, a piercing, a bracelet and/or another article of clothing, and is configured to locate, reveal and/or identify a user in relation to the at least two devices that are located in an environment of the user, and
- wherein the device configurator is further configured to create device-specific device configuration data based on the capability parameters, and to dispatch the device-specific device configuration data to a respective one of the at least two devices.
A vehicle, comprising:
- a router configured to receive and distribute data, the router comprising:
- a capability parameter receiver configured to receive capability parameters from at least two devices configured to be connected to the router;
- a device configurator configured to select and/or configure at least one of the at least two devices based on the capability parameters;
- a payload receiver configured to receive first data from the at least one of the at least two devices;
- and
- a payload transmitter configured to distribute second data, which is based on the first data, to another one of the at least two devices,
- wherein the router is part of a mobile telephone, an implant, a watch, eyeglasses, a hearing aid, a belt, an ankle monitor, a piece of jewelry, a piercing, a bracelet and/or another article of clothing, and is configured to locate, reveal and/or identify a user in relation to the at least two devices that are located in an environment of the user, and
- wherein the device configurator is further configured to create device-specific device configuration data based on the capability parameters, and to dispatch the device-specific device configuration data to a respective one of the at least two devices.
A method for receiving and distributing data, the method comprising:
- receiving capability parameters from at least two devices configured to be connected to a router, wherein the router is part of a mobile telephone, an implant, a watch, eyeglasses, a hearing aid, a belt, an ankle monitor, a piece of jewelry, a piercing, a bracelet and/or another article of clothing, and is configured to locate, reveal and/or identify a user in relation to the at least two devices that are located in an environment of the user;
- selecting and/or configuring at least one of the at least two devices based on the capability parameters;
- receiving first data from the at least one of the at least two devices;
- distributing second data, which is based on the first data, to another one of the at least two devices;
- and
- creating and dispatching device-specific device configuration data to a respective one of the at least two devices based on the capability parameters.
