Title
Verteilte Organisation von Sensornetzwerken
Other Title
Data processing device for e.g. computer network, has control device checking whether group of nodes of sensor network exists and configuring device as team member of existing group based on clear identification of processing device
Abstract
Eine Datenverarbeitungsvorrichtung zur Bildung von Netzwerken mit verteilter Organisation und Administration umfasst eine Kommunikationseinrichtung, die ausgebildet ist, um mit anderen Datenverarbeitungsvorrichtungen zu kommunizieren. Weiterhin umfasst die Datenverarbeitungsvorrichtung eine Steuereinrichtung, die ausgebildet ist, um ueber die Kommunikationseinrichtung zu versuchen, mit anderen Datenverarbeitungsvorrichtungen Kontakt aufzunehmen, um zu ueberpruefen, ob eine Gruppe existiert, der sich die Datenverarbeitungsvorrichtung anschliessen kann. Wenn dies der Fall ist, wird die Datenverarbeitungsvorrichtung als Gruppenmitglied der existierenden Gruppe konfiguriert und wenn dies nicht der Fall ist, wird die Datenverarbeitungsvorrichtung als Gruppenkopf einer neuen Gruppe konfiguriert.

DE 102006015016 B3 UPAB: 20071026 NOVELTY - The device (100) has a communication device (110) designed for communication with another data processing device. A control device (120) is designed to accept contact with the latter data processing device over the device (110). The control device checks whether a group of nodes of a sensor network exists and configures the device (100) as a team member of the existing group based on a clear identification of the device (100). The device (120) configures the device (100) as a group head of a new group, when the group does not exist or when no response is received. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are also included for the following: (1) a method for forming a network of data processing devices (2) a computer program comprising program code for performing a network forming method. USE - Used for a sensor network (claimed) e.g. computer network, that is utilized for monitoring climatic changes and air pollution, for production of spatial and temporally dissolved temperature or humidity profiles, for prediction/forecasting of weather, for observation/monitoring of plants and animals in a biotope and in a disaster control/emergency management and is utilized in an area in which occurrence of earthquake, forest fire, flooding and volcanic eruption is probable, and in a house. ADVANTAGE - The configuration of the device allows the sensor network to be automatically organized, without the need for a central management node , thus avoiding centralization of the administrative tasks or single point of failure, increasing reliability and robustness of the network and simplifying the usage of the network.
