Abstract

An environmental sensor device includes a processor unit, a monitor module for monitoring and collecting data corresponding to an environmental parameter, a radio module configured to enable wireless communication of the data to a remote system, and logic executable by the processor unit to convert the collected data into an unstructured supplementary service data (USSD) message. The radio module is configured to transmit the USSD message to a remote data processing system.

Claims (35)

1 . An environmental sensor device, comprising:

a processor unit;

a monitor module for monitoring and collecting data corresponding to an environmental parameter;

a radio module configured to enable wireless communication of the data to a remote system; and

logic executable by the processor unit to:

convert the collected data into an unstructured supplementary service data (USSD) message; and

transmit the USSD message to a remote data processing system.

2 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the logic is executable to blockchain the collected data.

3 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the logic is executable to receive a USSD pull message from an application server and communicate the collected data via the USSD message.

4 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the logic is executable to communicate the USSD message in response to determining that the device is in a particular geographic location.

5 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the logic is executable to communicate the USSD message in response to the collected data meeting a particular operating parameter.

6 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the logic is executable to create a piece of blockchain data based on a unique identifier assigned to the device.

7 . The device of claim 6 , wherein the logic is executable to digitally sign the piece of blockchain data.

8 . A method, comprising:

monitoring and collecting, by an environmental sensor device, data corresponding to an environmental parameter;

converting, by the environmental sensor device, the collected data into an unstructured supplementary service data (USSD) message; and

wirelessly communicating the USSD message from the environmental sensor device to a remote data processing system.

9 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising blockchaining the collected data.

10 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising, responsive to receiving a USSD pull message from an application server, communicating the collected data via the USSD message.

11 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising communicating the USSD message in response to determining that the device is in a particular geographic location.

12 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising communicating the USSD message in response to the collected data meeting a particular operating parameter.

13 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising creating a piece of blockchain data based on a unique identifier assigned to the device.

14 . The method of claim 13 , further comprising digitally signing the piece of blockchain data.

15 . An environmental sensor device, comprising:

a processor unit;

a monitor module configured to monitor and collect data corresponding to an environmental parameter;

a radio module configured to enable wireless communication of the data to a remote system; and

logic executable by the processor unit to:

create a blockchain of the collected data; and

wirelessly communicate the blockchain of the collected data to a remote data processing system.

16 . The device of claim 15 , wherein the wherein the logic is executable to create a piece of the blockchain of the collected data incorporating a unique identifier of the device.

17 . The device of claim 15 , wherein the logic is executable to incorporate a geographic location of the device into the blockchain of the collected data.

18 . The device of claim 15 , wherein the logic is executable to wirelessly communicate the blockchain of the collected data via an unstructured supplementary service data (USSD) message.

19 . The device of claim 15 , wherein the logic is executable to communicate the blockchain of the collected data in response to determining that the device is in a particular geographic location.

20 . The device of claim 15 , wherein the logic is executable to communicate the blockchain of the collected data in response to a monitored environmental parameter meeting a threshold.
