1. A method in a first module of the network for relaying data from a source to a destination via a network of adaptive modules, comprising:
- receiving information via wireless communication for computing an amount of energy consumed by a plurality of modules in the network for communicating data between the plurality of modules;
selecting a second module of the network to relay data from the first module to the destination based on an amount of energy consumed by a subset of the plurality of modules in the network for wirelessly relaying the data from the first module to the destination via the second module; and
transmitting the data to the second module via wireless communication.

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.

6. A first module in a computer-controlled network for wirelessly relaying data from a source to a destination, comprising:
-
a transceiver configured to receive information via wireless communication for computing an amount of energy consumed by a plurality of modules in the network to communicate data between the plurality of modules, the transceiver further configured to transmit the data; and a processor configured to select a second module of the network for receiving the data from the first module based on an amount of energy consumed by a plurality of the modules in the network to wirelessly relaying the data from the first module to the destination via the second module. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)
