Patent Images
1. A system for relaying information comprising:
- a plurality of communication devices, each communication device having means to transmit, receive and store relay information for relay to at least one other communication device;
each communication device further assigned a network score;
and a server operable to update the network score assigned to each communication device when a connection between the communication device and the server is established;
wherein the network score for each communication device is a measure of the reliability and effectiveness of the communication device in relaying information relative to other communication devices, wherein where a connection between the communication device and the server is not established, the communication device is configured to update its network score; and
wherein at least one of the plurality of communication devices maintains a set of different network scores for multiple scenarios.
