1. A client device comprising:
- a processor;
an environmental sensor to sense an environmental condition, an output of the environmental sensor being a local environmental sensor value; and
a wireless receiver to receive environmental data including an ambient temperature and one or more of humidity, barometric pressure, altitude, light, and sound for a certain proximity area from a second client device according to an environmental data sharing protocol via a wireless network;
wherein the environmental data sharing protocol allows receipt of the environmental data without requiring pairing, bonding, or other relationship of client devices, wherein the environmental data are inserted into a beacon frame to operate as an environmental data frame to broadcast the environmental data to the client devices, wherein the client device is to apply the received environmental data for client device management, wherein the client device is to adjust a threshold value for the local environmental sensor value based on the received environmental data, and to apply the adjusted threshold value in operation of the client device, wherein the environmental condition includes a skin temperature of the client device and the threshold value is a threshold temperature for the skin temperature.

Abstract
Embodiments are generally directed to sharing of environmental data for client device usage. An embodiment of a client device includes a processor; an environmental sensor to sense an environmental condition, an output of the sensor being a local environmental sensor value; and a wireless receiver to receive environmental data for a certain proximity area from a second client device according to an environmental data sharing protocol via a wireless network. The environmental data sharing protocol allows receipt of the environmental data without requiring pairing, bonding, or other relationship of client devices.

6. One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage mediums having stored thereon data representing sequences of instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
-
establishing communication at a client device in a wireless network; measuring environmental conditions with one or more environmental sensors of the client device to generate sensor signals; generating environmental data for transmission based on the sensor signals; preparing an environmental data frame according to an environmental data sharing protocol and inserting the environmental data into the data frame, wherein the environmental data are inserted into a beacon frame to operate as the environmental data frame to broadcast the environmental data to client devices; and transmitting the environmental data frame by the client device on the wireless network; wherein the environmental data sharing protocol allows transmission of the environmental data including an ambient temperature and one or more of humidity, barometric pressure, altitude, light, and sound without requiring pairing, bonding, or other relationship of the client devices, wherein the environmental data are transmitted for other client device management, wherein the environmental data are transmitted to adjust a threshold value for a skin temperature of the other client device, and to apply the adjusted threshold value in operation of the other client device. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage mediums having stored thereon data representing sequences of instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
-
establishing communication at a client device in a wireless network; measuring a local environmental sensor value with an environmental sensor; monitoring for shared environmental data according to an environmental data sharing protocol; receiving an environmental data frame from a second client device, the environmental data frame containing environmental data according to the environmental data sharing protocol, wherein the environmental data are inserted into a beacon frame to operate as the environmental data frame to broadcast the environmental data to client devices; and retrieving the environmental data from the received environmental data frame; wherein the environmental data sharing protocol allows receipt of the environmental data that include an ambient temperature and one or more of humidity, barometric pressure, altitude, light, and sound without requiring pairing, bonding, or other relationship of the client devices; applying the received environmental data for client device management; adjusting a threshold value for the local environmental sensor value based on the received environmental data, wherein the environmental condition includes a skin temperature of the client device and the threshold value is a threshold temperature for the skin temperature. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)
