Abstract:
Techniques are described for providing a smart-mesh socket. The smart-mesh socket may be sized and shaped to be engaged with a conventional electrical socket of one or more types (e.g., a USB receptacle providing DC electrical power) to provide power to one or more circuits housed within the smart-mesh socket. These circuits may include, for example, a main circuit that includes at least a dual processor for controlling the operation and communications of at least two communication circuits. The dual processors may execute instructions for an operating system, thus allowing the smart-mesh socket to provide enhanced capabilities for networked devices. One or more first communication circuits may each include one or more transceivers that allow the first communication circuit to send and receive communications with other devices over wireless network(s) using one or multiple wireless communication protocols.

Claim (Index 15):
A system with a plurality of smart-mesh sockets, each smart-mesh socket within the plurality comprising:\n a bottom cap connector having a Universal Serial Bus (USB) plug that is sized and shaped to be electrically coupled with a USB receptacle; and a smart-mesh circuit that is electrically coupled to the bottom cap connector and that includes:\n a main circuit with one or more processing units and one or more memory components; and \n one or more wireless circuits that support multiple wireless communication protocols and that include one or more transceivers to send and receive communications with other smart mesh sockets of the plurality via a mesh network, \n wherein the one or more memory components store software instructions that, when executed by at least one of the two or more processing units, cause the smart-mesh socket to participate in the mesh network with the plurality of smart-mesh sockets and to participate in providing functionality distributed across the plurality of smart-mesh sockets via interactions between the plurality of smart-mesh sockets.
