Establishing communication and collectives among proximate devices using low power wireless transmission

Abstract

Methods and systems for establishing communication between multiple GRL (Global Resource Locator) devices in proximity to one another. The method includes detecting the presence of other GRL devices using a low power wireless transmission protocol, transmitting universally unique identifiers (UUIDs), and establishing communication links to form a collective. The system stores data received from the GRL devices, determines if any devices have been added or are missing, and transmits the stored data to a receiving device. The method further includes generating and storing location and sensor measurement data, encrypting transmitted data, and authenticating UUIDs. The system ensures accurate data transmission through clock synchronization and generates metrics for quality of service, power consumption, signal strength, and proximity. This invention enhances the tracking, monitoring, and management of assets equipped with GRL devices.
