Selection of network nodes of a network
First Claim
1. A mobile node adapted for selecting one or more network nodes of a network, wherein each network node of the network is communicatively coupled to a further network node of the network, the mobile node comprising:
- a communication unit configured for sending a selection message that is receivable by a network node, the selection message comprising an identifier of the mobile node and a unique identifier of a current selection of the one or more network nodes and the selection message being configured to select the one or more network nodes.

Abstract
A mobile node selects one or more network nodes of a network. Each network node of the network is communicatively coupled to a further network node of the network. The mobile node includes a communication unit configured to send a selection message that is receivable by a network node, the selection message including an identifier of the mobile node and a unique identifier of a current selection and the selection message being configured to select the one or more network nodes.

9. A network of nodes comprising network nodes and a gateway node, each network node being communicatively coupled to a further network node and the gateway node being configured to receive messages from a set of network nodes and to transmit the received messages to an application device, a network node of the network comprising:
-
a receiver unit configured to receive a selection message from a mobile node, the selection message comprising an identifier of the mobile node and a unique identifier of a current selection;
a processing unit configured to create a reporting message comprising the mobile node identifier, the current selection identifier of the received selection message, and an identifier of the network node; and
a communication unit configured to route the reporting message and a further reporting message created by a processing unit of a further network node to a specific node that is configured to send the reporting message and the further reporting message to an external device. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. An application device communicatively coupled to a network of nodes comprising network nodes and a gateway node,
wherein the application device is configured to receive a reporting message from the gateway node, to gather one or more reporting messages, and to provide portions of data of the one or more reporting messages to a device comprising a user interface, wherein the reporting message comprises an identifier of a mobile node, a current selection identifier, and an identifier of a selected network node from which the reporting message originates, the current selection identifier being a part of a selection message originating from the mobile node and wherein the gathered one or more reporting messages comprise the current selection identifier.
- 22. A mobile application device comprising a communication unit configured to receive a message comprising one or more identifiers of selected network nodes of a network and to gather the message and a further message comprising further one or more identifiers of selected network nodes, wherein a reporting message originates from a selected network node and comprises a current selection identifier, wherein the current selection identifier is a portion of a selection message originating from a mobile node.

27. A system for selecting one or more network nodes of a network, the system comprising:
-
a network of nodes comprising network nodes and a gateway node, each network node being communicatively coupled to a further network node and the gateway node being configured to receive messages from a set of network nodes and to transmit the received messages to an application device, a network node of the network comprising;
a receiver unit configured to receive a selection message from a mobile node, the selection message comprising an identifier of the mobile node and a unique identifier of a current selection;
a processing unit configured to create a reporting message comprising the mobile node identifier, the current selection identifier of the received selection message, and an identifier of the network node; and
a communication unit configured to route the reporting message and a further reporting message created by a processing unit of a further network node to a specific node that is configured to send the reporting message and the further reporting message to an external device;
wherein the mobile node is adapted for selecting one or more network nodes of the network, the mobile node comprising a communication unit configured for sending a selection message that is receivable by a network node, the selection message comprising an identifier of the mobile node and a unique identifier of a current selection of the one or more network nodes and the selection message being configured to select the one or more network nodes; and
a mobile application device comprising a communication unit configured to receive a message comprising one or more identifiers of selected network nodes of the network and to gather the message and a further message comprising further one or more identifiers of selected network nodes, wherein a reporting message originates from a selected network node and comprises a current selection identifier, wherein the current selection identifier is a portion of a selection message originating from a mobile node. - View Dependent Claims (28)

29. A method for selecting one or more network nodes of a network, wherein each network node of the network is communicatively coupled to another network node of the network, the method comprising:
-
creating a selection message at a mobile node, the selection message comprising a mobile node identifier and a unique identifier of a current selection of one or more network nodes of the network;
sending the selection message, such that the selection message is receivable by a network node of the network;
receiving the selection message at the network node;
checking if the network node is a selected network node;
when the network node is a selected network node, creating a reporting message comprising the mobile node identifier, the unique identifier of a current selection of one or more network nodes of the network, and an identifier of the selected network node;
receiving the reporting message at an external device; and
at the external device, gathering the reporting message and a further reporting message comprising the current selection identifier. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37)
