Distribution of sensor data among a group of wireless communication devices
First Claim
1. A method of operating a communication system to distribute notice data indicating a trigger condition among a group of wireless communication devices, the method comprising:
- in a wireless communication network, exchanging wireless data with the wireless communication devices and transferring device data indicating device locations and device status for delivery to a network server system;
in a sensor system, detecting the trigger condition and responsively determining a current set of proximate ones of the wireless communication devices to the sensor system and transferring indications of the trigger condition and the current set of the proximate wireless communication devices for delivery to the network server system;
in the network server system, processing the device data, the indication of the trigger condition, and the indication of the current set of the proximate wireless communication devices to generate the notice data indicating the trigger condition and to select at least one of the wireless communication devices for receipt of the notice data;
in the network server system, transferring the notice data indicating the trigger condition for delivery to the selected at least one of the wireless communication devices over the wireless communication network; and
in the wireless communication network, wirelessly transferring the notice data indicating the trigger condition to the selected at least one of the wireless communication devices.

Abstract
A wireless communication network exchanges wireless data with wireless communication devices and transfers device data indicating device locations and device status to a network server. A sensor system detects a trigger condition and responsively determines proximate wireless communication devices. The sensor system transfers indications of the trigger condition and the currently proximate wireless communication devices to the network server. The network server processes the device data, trigger condition, and proximate wireless communication devices to generate notice data indicating the trigger condition and to select at least one of the wireless communication devices for receipt of the notice data. The network server transfers the notice data to the selected wireless communication devices over the wireless communication network.
