Abstract

The present invention comprises a computer apparatus for displaying the topology of a timely organized ad hoc network, the apparatus including a processor, a memory, a computer-readable medium, an input device coupled to the processor, a radio frequency transceiver coupled to the processor; a communications interface coupled to the memory, a display coupled to the processor, and software copied from the computer-readable medium into the memory by the processor that, when executed, causes the processor to obtain a diagram of the network location from the input device or computer readable medium, obtain the identities of the devices comprising the network from the input device or computer readable medium, determine the communication links between the network devices, and graphically represent on the display the devices and the connection links on the diagram.

Claims

1. A computer apparatus comprising:

a processor,

a memory,

a computer-readable medium,

an input device coupled to the processor,

a radio frequency transceiver coupled to the processor;

a communications interface coupled to the memory,

a display coupled to the processor, and

software copied from the computer-readable medium into the memory by the processor that, when executed, causes the processor to;

obtain a diagram of the network location from the input device or computer readable medium,

obtain the identities of the devices comprising the network from the input device or computer readable medium,

determine the communication links between the network devices, and

graphically represent on the display the devices and the connection links on the diagram.
