Diffusing configuration data to distributed devices
First Claim
1. A measurement/control system, comprising:
- configuration data source that provides a set of configuration data that specifies a measurement/control function;
a set of distributed devices each having means for obtaining the configuration data from the configuration data source and means for diffusing the configuration data among the distributed devices.

Abstract
Techniques for diffusing configuration data to distributed devices whose locations and movements vis-a-vis a measurement/control application may only be estimated statistically. Examples of distributed devices whose locations and movements may only be estimated statistically include handheld devices and devices mounted on vehicles or other moving platforms. A measurement/control system according to the present techniques includes a configuration data source that provides a set of configuration data that specifies a measurement/control function, and a set of distributed devices each having means for obtaining the configuration data from the configuration data source and means for diffusing the configuration data among the distributed devices.
