Abstract:
Remote actuation of machines or machine systems is realized by a system for coupling a radiobeacon to a smart device and in turn to a broader network. The smart device is configured as a proximity-actuated “community nodal device” by an application that operates as part of the system. The community nodal device is given instructions to function as a “soft switch”: to automatically “upswitch”, amplify, and broadcast low energy, local area radiobeacon “messages” to a cloud-based server, where the message is interpreted according to rules or policies established by an operator, and a command is transmitted for execution to a remote device. Conventional smart devices generally discard data not addressed to the owner of the smart device. Instead of discarding third party messages, the system preempts their handling, and using a soft switch formed from background resources, anonymously, without access to the message by a user interface of the proxy device, and without waiting for a network query from the host, engineers an “upswitched transmission” of radiobeacon-generated data to a cloud host. Advantageously, confidential sharing of ad hoc community resources results in a negligible load on background resources of the community nodal device. Messages may include a sensor data payload. Bit overloading enables a sensor data payload to be compressed into a few hundred bytes or less.

Claim (Index 1):
A non-transitory computer-readable medium holding program instructions that define an application, said application comprising a digital instruction set such that when copied to and installed and executed by a computing circuit of a multi-featured smart device, is configured to cause a smart device to be able to perform radiotag-associated operations of a private smart device for a private user and radiotag-associated operations of a community nodal device for a community of users, said operations comprising:\n a) in accordance with said program instructions, receiving on a smart device a low energy radiobeacon signal from an identifiable radiotag and routing the signal to foreground services of the smart device for private access; and, b) in accordance with said program instructions, receiving on a community nodal device a low energy radiobeacon signal from an unrecognized radiotag and, using background services of the community nodal device, upswitchingly forwarding a message containing the contents of the radiobeacon signal to an administrative server without enabling access to the message by foreground services of the community nodal device.
