WIRELESS INTERACTIVE SYSTEM AND METHODOLOGY USING LOW-POWER-RF-TRANSCEIVER, SECURE PERVASIVE COMPUTING NETWORKS

摘要

A pervasive computing network is disclosed including a group of first access controllers connected together on a first local area network, with each of the first access controllers including a radio frequency transceiver (60) constructed to transmit and receive radio frequency signals within a range less than about 100 meters and wherein at least two of the ranges of the first access controllers overlap one another and the first access controllers are constructed to communicate with a consumer touchpoint (66) device. The pervasive computing network further includes a group of second access controllers connected together on a second local area network. The pervasive computing device is further provided with both a first communication line connecting the first group of access controllers to a wide area network; a second communication line connecting the second group of access controllers to the wide area network; and a knowlegde center connected to the wide area network in communication with the group of first access controllers and the group of second access controllers.
