1. A communication module comprising:
- a transceiver of electromagnetic energy disposed to transmit and receive data signals;
a proximity sensor; and
a processor coupled to the proximity sensor and to the transceiver for forming data signals indicative of sensed proximity of an object for transmission by the transceiver.

Abstract
A plurality of modules interact to form an adaptive network in which each module transmits and receives data signals indicative of proximity of objects. A central computer accumulates the data produced or received and relayed by each module for analyzing proximity responses to transmit through the adaptive network control signals to a selectively-addressed module to respond to computer analyses of the data accumulated from modules forming the adaptive network.

11. A method for computer-implementing a network of a plurality of modules that each transmit and receive electromagnetic signals containing proximity data, the method comprising:
transmitting from at least one of the plurality of modules signals containing proximity data for receipt by other of the plurality of modules to form a network of interactive modules that implements computer collection of the proximity data. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)
