Abstract:
1. A method comprising: receiving a selected connection type indication; determining, by a mobile device, candidate devices suitable for establishing a network from among a group of detected devices such that one or more of the detected devices are determined to be suitable for establishing the network and one or more of the detected devices are determined to not be suitable for establishing the network, wherein the first mobile device is a portable computing device, and wherein determining suitable devices is based on hardware capabilities of respective devices including sensor type, sensor quality, device processing power, or memory size; setting up the network of a plurality of mobile devices based on the determination of suitable candidate devices and the selected connection type; obtaining sensory data from at least one mobile device of the network; analysing, by the mobile device, the obtained sensory data in order to detect at least one predetermined event, wherein analysing the obtained sensory data comprises identifying a predetermined event in an instance in which the sensory data is classifiable into a predetermined classification pattern associated with at least one predetermined event and identifying another predetermined event in an instance in which a sensor parameter of the sensory data exceeds of a threshold value; and in response to detecting at least one predetermined event, providing an indication about the detected event to at least one mobile terminal of the network, wherein the indication comprises location information associated with the mobile device.
