Abstract
The present disclosure is related to systems, methods, and processor readable media for distributing digital data over networks. Certain embodiments relate to systems, methods, and devices used within such networks where at least a substantial portion of the interconnected devices are capable of interacting with one or more neighboring devices, and then to form such a network either with no gateway and/or control point, with a single gateway and/or control point or with a number of gateways and/or control points.

2. A network system comprising:
-
(a) a plurality of devices wherein a substantial portion of the plurality of devices are capable of one or more of the following;
transmitting data and receiving data; and(b) at least one gateway that is capable of one or more of the following;
transmitting data to at least one of the plurality of devices;
receiving data from at least one of the plurality of devices;
transmitting data to at least one electronic computing device; and
receiving data from at least one electronic computing device;wherein the at least one of the plurality of devices is positioned within a distance from the at least one gateway such that the distance allows communication between the at least one gateway and the at least one of the plurality of devices; and wherein the distance between devices allows communication between at least one device and at least one other device. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 19, 20, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 34, 35)

3. A network system comprising:
-
(a) a plurality of devices wherein a substantial portion of the plurality of devices are capable of one or more of the following;
transmitting data and receiving data;(b) at least one gateway that is capable of one or more of the following;
transmitting data to at least one of the plurality of devices;
receiving data from at least one of the plurality of devices;
transmitting data to at least one electronic computing device; and
receiving data from at least one electronic computing device; and(c) a substantial portion of the devices are arranged such that the distance between devices allows wireless communication between at least one device and at least one other device; wherein the cost of deploying and maintaining the network of at least 100, 500, 2000, 10,000, 100,000, 500,000, 1,000,000 or 5,000,000 devices is substantially proportion to the cost of the individual devices.

4. A network system comprising:
-
(a) a plurality of devices wherein a substantial portion of the plurality of devices are capable of one or more of the following;
transmitting data and receiving data; and(b) at least one gateway that is capable of one or more of the following;
transmitting data to at least one of the plurality of devices;
receiving data from at least one of the plurality of devices;
transmitting data to at least one electronic computing device; and
receiving data from at least one electronic computing device;wherein the distance between devices allows communication between at least one device and at least one other device; and wherein a substantial portion of the plurality of devices are able to communicate with at least one other device within the network and the at least one gateway within the network is capable of handling at least 100, 500, 2000, 10,000, 100,000 or 1,000,000 devices without the need for additional infrastructure.
