Abstract
Systems, apparatus, and methods for utilizing sensors in conjunction with display enabled wireless devices are provided. Wireless devices transmit signals to and receive signals from disconnected systems preferably comprising one or more access points or hand-held devices. The access points and hand-held devices preferably communicate with a server which operates to manage the wireless devices. Optionally, the wireless devices take various actions depending on the values read from their attached sensors. These actions may include initiating a communication, changing a displayed message, or flashing an LED. Optionally, the server receives, stores, recalls, displays, and/or requests sensor readings transmitted by the wireless devices.
