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 29):
A computer-implemented method comprising:\n receiving, by at least some smart-mesh sockets from a plurality of smart-mesh sockets participating in a mesh network, instructions to implement one or more specified types of operations in a distributed manner by the at least some smart-mesh sockets; and providing, by the at least some smart-mesh sockets based at least in part on interactions between the at least some smart-mesh sockets, and in response to the receiving of the instructions, functionality distributed across the at least some smart-mesh sockets to implement the one or more specified types of operations, wherein each of the at least some smart-mesh sockets includes 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 further includes a smart-mesh circuit that is electrically coupled to the bottom cap connector and that has a main circuit with one or more processing units and one or more memory components and that supports 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 the mesh network.
