Abstract

The present invention discloses a method and system for registering nodes into an ad hoc network associated with a structure having multiple rooms. Nodes within the ad hoc network include a communication module configured to communicate with the ad hoc network using at least one of intra-room confined communication and permeable room communication.

Description

technical field [0001] This patent application relates to systems and methods for networking consumer devices. Background technique [0002] Low power personal area networks such as ZigBee, Z-Wave, Insteon, JenNet-IP, X10 or similar networks are becoming more and more popular. Appliances, lighting, heating and cooling, security and monitoring systems, entertainment systems, communications, lawn sprinklers, etc. now include microprocessors and wireless communication devices to allow wireless connections to home networks. Control of these devices can reside in a smartphone, PDA, laptop, desktop, or other device on which there may be a user-friendly software control interface, or control may reside in the network cloud. [0003] There are several different ways to organize and configure these home networks. Existing technology enables the association of devices into groups based on the ability to communicate using visible light, ultrasound, infrared, radio frequency, and othe...
