Abstract
A User Equipment having at least one sensor, a short range communications interface, a long range communications interface and a controller, wherein the controller is configured for: establishing a connection with a first access point through the short range communications interface; receiving operating instructions for the at least one sensor from the first access point; causing the at least one sensor to operate according to the operating instructions; receiving sensor data from the at least one sensor; and for reporting the sensor data through the long range communications interface.
Claims18
A general sensor comprising:
- at least one sensor;
- a short range communications interface;
- a long range communications interface;
- and
- a controller,
- wherein said controller is configured for:
- detecting a first access point through said short range communications interface;
- receiving operating instructions for said at least one sensor from said first access point;
- causing said at least one sensor to operate according to said operating instructions;
- receiving sensor data from said at least one sensor;
- and for
- reporting said sensor data through said long range communications interface.
A method for use in a general sensor comprising at least one sensor, a short range communications interface, a long range communications interface, said method comprising:
- detecting a first access point through said short range communications interface;
- receiving operating instructions for said at least one sensor from said first access point;
- causing said at least one sensor to operate according to said operating instructions;
- receiving sensor data from said at least one sensor;
- and
- reporting said sensor data through said long range communications interface.
A nontransitory computer readable storage medium encoded with instructions that, when loaded and executed on a processor, causes the processor to perform a method for use in a general sensor comprising at least one sensor, a short range communications interface, and a long range communications interface, said method comprising:
- detecting a first access point through said short range communications interface;
- receiving operating instructions for said at least one sensor from said first access point;
- causing said at least one sensor to operate according to said operating instructions;
- receiving sensor data from said at least one sensor;
- and
- reporting said sensor data through said long range communications interface.
