Method and system for communicating between a first item of equipment and one or more other items of equipment
First Claim
1. A method of communication between a first device and one or more other destination devices, implemented via a communication network, the method comprising:
- identifying each device in the communication network by a network identifiergenerated based on geographical coordinates of the respective device, wherein the network identifier includes a reference geographical position of the respective device, a type of the respective device, and a device number; and
the first device transmitting a message to each destination device, the messageconforming to a given communication protocol and comprising a first piece of information defining a zone of influence corresponding to a given geographical zone with respect to which each destination device determines whether the message is relevant to the respective device based on the reference geographical position,wherein the network identifier is generated by obtaining the geographical coordinates of the respective device and incorporating the geographical coordinates into the body of the network identifier that is used to identify the respective device for network routing within the communication network,wherein the network identifier includes only a geographical position of the respective device, a type of the respective device, and a device number.

Abstract
A method and system for communicating between a first item of equipment and one or more other items of destination equipment implemented through a communication network, each item of equipment being identified on the communication network via an identifier based on its geographical coordinates. The method includes dispatching a message via the first item of equipment to each destination item of equipment, the message being in accordance with a determined communication protocol and including a first item of information defining a zone of influence corresponding to a determined geographical zone with respect to which each item of destination equipment determines whether the message is relevant to it.

9. A communication system comprising:
-
a first device and one or more other destination devices connected in a communication network, wherein each device is identified in the communication network by network identifier generated based on geographical coordinates of the respective device, wherein the network identifier includes a reference geographical position of the respective device, a type of the respective device, and a device number, and the first device is configured to employ a communication protocol to define a message transmitted by the first device to one or more destination devices, the message comprising a first piece of information defining a zone of influence corresponding to a given geographical zone with respect to which each destination device determines whether the message is relevant to the respective device based on the reference geographical position, wherein the network identifier is generated by obtaining the geographical coordinates of the respective device and incorporating the geographical coordinates into the body of the network identifier that is used to identify the respective device for network routing within the communication network, wherein the network identifier includes only a geographical position of the respective device, a type of the respective device, and a device number. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
