Abstract
A method and system for exchanging information amongst a plurality of peers. A first peer collects environment data related to an environment proximate to the first peer, which may for example be associated with a traffic or weather condition proximate to the first peer. The first peer transmits the environment data into a first region associated with the first peer, and a second peer receives the environment data transmitted by the first peer. The second peer then processes the received environment data. This process would likely occur in an iterative manner; i.e. the second peer retransmits the information to other peers in its operating range, and may add its own collected environment data as well.
Claims20
A method for exchanging information amongst a plurality of peers comprising the steps of:
- a first peer collecting environment data related to an environment proximate to the first peer;
- the first peer transmitting said environment data into a first region associated with the first peer;
- a second peer receiving the environment data transmitted by the first peer;
- and
- the second peer processing the received environment data.
A wireless peer to peer information exchange system comprising a plurality of peer computing devices, each of said peer computing devices comprising:
- means for collecting environment data related to an environment proximate to the peer computing device;
- means for transmitting said environment data into a region associated with the peer computing device;
- means for receiving environment data transmitted by another peer computing device;
- and
- means for processing the environment data.
