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 26):
The system of  claim 15  wherein the providing of the functionality distributed across the plurality of smart-mesh sockets includes one or more of the plurality of smart-mesh sockets being further configured to perform automated operations including:\n receiving information about capabilities of at least some of the plurality of smart-mesh sockets to each implement a specified type of operation; \n sending, over the mesh network, and based at least in part on the capabilities of the at least some smart-mesh sockets, first instructions to the at least some smart-mesh sockets to implement the specified type of operation; \n evaluating performance of each of the at least some smart-mesh sockets in implementing the specified type of operation, including scoring the performance of each of the at least some smart-mesh sockets according to one or more specified criteria; \n selecting one or more smart-mesh sockets of the at least some smart-mesh sockets to implement additional operations of the specified type, wherein the selecting is based at least in part on the evaluated performance of the one or more smart-mesh sockets; and \n sending, based on the selecting, one or more second instructions to each of the one or more smart-mesh sockets to implement one or more of the additional operations of the specified type.
