Abstract
A distribution of a content selection being distributed throughout a wireless mesh network may be tracked. A wireless device in the wireless mesh network enables the content selection to be exchanged. Wireless devices then exchange the content, and a network topology is recorded in response. Finally, the network topology is reported to a reporting agent.
Claims18
A computer-implemented method for providing a topology of a wireless network, the method comprising the following operations performed by one or more processors:
- receiving, from a first plurality of wireless devices of the wireless network, a first set of data indicative of a network topology with respect to a first period of time;
- receiving, from a second plurality of wireless devices of the wireless network, a second set of data indicative of a network topology with respect to a second period of time;
- and
- displaying a graphical user interface including a graphical representation of the wireless network simultaneously identifying the first and second plurality of wireless devices arranged according to their geographic position with respect to the first and second periods of time, respectively, based on the received first set of data and the received second set of data.
A system for providing a topology of a wireless network, the system comprising:
- at least one processor configured to execute instructions to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, from a first plurality of wireless devices of the wireless network, a first set of data indicative of a network topology with respect to a first period of time;
- receiving, from a second plurality of wireless devices of the wireless network, a second set of data indicative of a network topology with respect to a second period of time;
- and
- displaying a graphical user interface including a graphical representation of the wireless network simultaneously identifying the first and second plurality of wireless devices arranged according to their geographic position with respect to the first and second periods of time, based on the received first set of data and the received second set of data.
A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations for providing a topology of a wireless network, the operations comprising:
- receiving, from a first plurality of wireless devices of the wireless network, a first set of data indicative of a network topology with respect to a first period of time;
- receiving, from a second plurality of wireless devices of the wireless network, a second set of data indicative of a network topology with respect to a second period of time;
- and
- displaying a graphical user interface including a graphical representation of the wireless network simultaneously identifying the first and second plurality of wireless devices arranged according to their geographic position with respect to the first and second periods of time, respectively, based on the received first set of data and the received second set of data.
