N-dimensional affinity confluencer
View Patent ↗An N-dimensional affinity confluencer comprises an affinity table to maintain a plurality of affinities for each of a plurality of wireless devices. A sphere of influence (SPIN) table provides an influence for determination of a confluence between affinities maintained in the affinity table. An affinity confluence determination module determines an affinity confluence between the plurality of wireless devices and an influence parameter associated with the sphere of influence (SPIN) table. An affinity confluence is determined from among a plurality of wireless devices by determining a confluence of at least two predefined affinities from among a plurality of wireless devices. A sphere of influence parameter is applied to the confluence to determine those of the plurality of wireless devices defined by an affinity confluence. The plurality of wireless devices need not be within a common communication network.
1. An N-dimensional affinity confluencer, comprising:
an affinity table comprising a plurality of different affinities for each of a plurality of wireless devices;
a sphere of influence (SPIN) table comprising a mapping of influence parameters corresponding to said plurality of different affinities; and
an affinity confluence determination module to determine a sub-plurality of said plurality of wireless devices having an affinity confluence based on a selected plurality of said influence parameters maintained in said sphere of influence (SPIN) table.
2. The N-dimensional affinity confluencer according to claim 1 , wherein:
said affinities maintained in said affinity table include attractive associations between said plurality of wireless devices.
3. The N-dimensional affinity confluencer according to claim 1 , wherein:
said affinities maintained in said affinity table include repulsive associations between said plurality of wireless devices.
4. The N-dimensional affinity confluencer according to claim 1 , wherein:
said affinities maintained in said affinity table include attractive and repulsive associations between said plurality of wireless devices.
5. The N-dimensional affinity confluence according to claim 1 , wherein:
said selected plurality of influence parameters include location.
6. A method of determining an affinity confluence from among a plurality of wireless devices, comprising:
building a database of at least two different affinities for each of a plurality of wireless devices;
deriving a sphere of influence parameters corresponding to said different affinities
determining a sub-plurality of said wireless devices having an affinity confluence based on a selected plurality of said influence parameters;
wherein said plurality of wireless devices need not be within a common electrical network.
7. The method of determining an affinity confluence from among a plurality of wireless devices according to claim 6 , wherein:
said affinity confluence includes an attractive association between said plurality of wireless devices.
8. The method of determining an affinity confluence from among a plurality of wireless devices according to claim 6 , wherein:
said affinity confluence includes a repulsive association between said plurality of wireless devices.
9. The method of determining an affinity confluence from among a plurality of wireless devices according to claim 6 , wherein:
said affinity confluence both an attractive association and a repulsive association between said plurality of wireless devices.
10. The method of determining an affinity confluence from among a plurality of wireless devices according to claim 6 , wherein said selected plurality of influence parameters include location.
