Patent ID: 8594933

Claim:
An apparatus for sensor data transmission in a mobile device, the apparatus comprising: a sensor data packet generating device to receive sensor data and generate a sensor data packet including the sensor data, a value of the sensor data indicating a measurement taken at the sensor; a navigation device generating navigation data relating to movements of the mobile device; a network availability database storing network data including transmission areas for one or more transmission mediums; and an evaluation device to assign a priority level to the sensor data packet and determine a transmission technique for transmitting the sensor data packet based on the priority level, the network data, transmission cost for each of one or more transmission mediums, and the navigation data, wherein the priority level to the sensor data packet is assigned according to which data ranges the value of the sensor data belong to such that the value of the sensor data within different data ranges are assigned different priority levels, wherein the data ranges include a first data range having a low priority level, a second data range having an intermediate priority level, and a third range having a high priority level, and wherein the evaluation device is configured to determine whether there should be an adjustment of the navigation data based on the network data, and if there should be an adjustment, to generate navigation adjustment data to the navigation device.
