System for Creating a Personal Communications Network

Abstract

A system for creating a personal communications network is used to transfer audio and video data between users without the need for a third-party network hosting framework. The system makes use of communications hubs to act as distributed processing nodes that receive user input and enable communication between groups of local network devices. The communications hub is a computing device that is capable of coordinating the communication operations of the network devices. To that end, the communications hub has a housing, a control system, and a wireless communications system. The control system and the wireless communications system work in concert to enable the communications hub to act as an off-site data-processing unit for the network devices. The communications hub enables multiple users to wirelessly send and receive data through the connected network devices. Thereby, creating an ad-hoc communications network and removing the need for dedicated network infrastructure.
