Method and integrated system for networked control of an environment of a mobile object

A controller for use in connection with determining a location of a mobile object, and controlling an environment of the mobile object, comprising:

• (A) a global positioning system (GPS), for sensing a location of the mobile object;
• (B) a processor, connected to the GPS, wherein the processor is configured to facilitate communicating via a transceiver;
• to facilitate collecting information representative of the mobile object including at least the location;
• to facilitate transmitting, to a controller via the transceiver, a communication including the information representative of the mobile object;
• to facilitate receiving a command via the transceiver from the controller;
• and to facilitate controlling an operation of the mobile object responsive to the command,
• wherein the controlled operation of the mobile object is salt distribution, sand distribution, brine dispensing, or mowing.

A method for controlling an environment condition at a location of a mobile object in connection with a peer-to-peer distributed network system, where the distributed network includes a plurality of controllers, comprising the at least one of sequential, non-sequential, and sequence-independent steps of:

• (A) sensing, in at least one controller of a plurality of controllers, a location of the mobile object;
• (B) receiving, from the mobile object, information representative of a condition of the mobile object;
• (C) transmitting, responsive to the received information, the information to at least one other controller;
• (D) controlling, responsive to the received information, in the at least one controller, an environmental condition of the mobile object, wherein the environmental condition is an irrigation condition or a fertigation condition.
