Wireless environmental data capture system and method for mesh networking

A method for establishing one or more telecommunication paths between a first communication appliance and a second communication appliance located on a premises, wherein the first communication appliance communicates with a plurality of observation devices, the method comprising:

• creating a first communication lock between the first communication appliance and a target observation device of the plurality of observation devices, wherein the first communication lock configures the first communication appliance to transmit at least a target portion of wireless data for delivery exclusively to the target observation device, and wherein the first communication lock corresponds to a first part of a first communication path between the first communication appliance and the second communication appliance;
• creating a second communication lock between the target observation device and the second communication appliance, wherein the second communication lock corresponds to a second part of the first communication path between the first communication appliance and the second communication appliance, and wherein the second communication appliance communicates with at least one observation device other than the target observation device;
• capturing, by the target observation device, first observation data comprising at least one of temperature data, chemical presence data, video data, image data, audio data, or RFID data while the target observation device is configured to receive data using the first communication lock and transmit data using the second communication lock;
• and
• transmitting, by the target observation device, at least a portion of the captured first observation data.

A method for establishing a wireless telecommunication path between a first communication device and a second communication device, the method comprising:

• creating a first wireless communication lock between the first communication device and an intermediate communication device, wherein the first communication lock configures the first communication device for wireless transmission of data to the intermediate communication device, wherein the first wireless communication lock is a first part of the wireless telecommunication path;
• creating a second wireless communication lock between the intermediate communication device and the second communication device, wherein the second wireless communication lock is a second part of the wireless telecommunication path, and wherein the first communication device and/or the second communication device is configured to communicate with additional communication devices while data is transmitted via the wireless telecommunication path;
• capturing, by the intermediate communication device, observation data including at least one of temperature data, chemical presence data, video data, image data, audio data, or RFID data while the intermediate communication device is configured to receive data using the first communication lock and transmit data using the second communication lock;
• and
• transmitting, by the intermediate communication, at least a portion of the captured data.

A computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computing system, cause the computing system to perform operations for establishing a first communication path between a first communication device and a second communication device, the operations comprising:

• creating, a first communication lock between the first communication device and a first capture device of a first plurality of capture devices, wherein the first communication device is capable of communicating with the first plurality of capture devices, wherein the first communication lock configures the first communication device to transmit first wireless data for delivery exclusively to the first capture device, and wherein the first communication lock corresponds to a first part of the first communication path between the first communication device and the second communication device;
• creating, a second communication lock between the first capture device and the second communication device, wherein the second communication lock corresponds to a second part of the first communication path between the first communication device and the second communication device, and wherein the second communication device is capable of communicating with at least one second capture device;
• capturing, by the first capture device, first environment data comprising at least one of temperature data, chemical presence data, video data, image data, audio data, or RFID data while receiving, by the first capture device, data using the first communication lock and/or transmitting, by the first capture device, data using the second communication lock;
• and
• transmitting, by the first capture device, at least a portion of the captured first environment data.

An observation device configured to establish a communication path between a first communication device and a second communication device, the observation device comprising:

• a memory;
• one or more processors;
• a transceiver configured to:
• create a first communication lock between the observation device and the first communication device, wherein the first communication device is capable of communicating with a plurality of observation devices, wherein the first communication lock configures the first communication device to transmit wireless data for delivery to the observation device, and wherein the first communication lock corresponds to a first part of the communication path between the first communication device and the second communication device;
• and
• create a second communication lock between the observation device and the second communication device, wherein the second communication lock corresponds to a second part of the communication path between the first communication device and the second communication device, and wherein the second communication device is capable of communicating with at least one second observation device;
• a capture component configured to capture observation data comprising at least one of temperature data, chemical presence data, video data, image data, audio data, or RFID data while the transceiver is receiving data using the first communication lock and/or transmitting data using the second communication lock;
• and
• wherein the transceiver is further configured to transmit at least a portion of the captured environment data.
