Systems and methods for providing wireless unconnected communication between devices
The present disclosure describes exemplary embodiments of systems and methods for enabling and managing unconnected communication between Wireless Enabled Devices (WEDs). One or more exemplary embodiments may include the utilization of Network Information Strings or other wireless identifiers to transmit information or content between WEDs where the information or content included in the unconnected communication may not be related to the operation of a wireless network.
1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a first wireless device, input,
the input containing information not related to the operation of a wireless network;
generating, by the first wireless device, a network information string containing the input as a message;
broadcasting, by the first wireless device, the network information string containing the message according to a wireless protocol;
receiving, by a second wireless device, the network information string,
the second wireless device being not authenticated and not associated with the first wireless device;
extracting, by the second wireless device, the message from the network information string; and,
executing, by the second wireless device, one or more predetermined actions based on the information in the message extracted from the network information string.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
forwarding the network information string to one or more next wireless devices.
3. The method of claim 1 , where
the first wireless device is at least a string broadcast station; and,
the second wireless device is at least a string receiver station.
4. The method of claim 1 , where
the first and second wireless devices include a string utilization application.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
encoding, by the first wireless device, the message using a string utilization application; and
decoding, by the second wireless device, the message using a string utilization application.
6. The method of claim 1 , where
the input includes at least one of user settings, commands, requests, device details, a message log, contact details, links to websites, links to email addresses, links to phone numbers, advertisements, coupons, and offers.
7. The method of claim 1 , where
the predetermined actions include at least one of turning on or off a device, initiating a sequence, initiating communication, answering a request, downloading a list, changing TV channels, responding to commands, broadcasting device information, delivering product, or displaying a message on a screen.
8. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:
one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
receive input,
the input containing information not related to the operation of a wireless network;
generate a network information string containing the input as a message;
broadcast the network information string containing the message according to a wireless protocol;
receive an incoming network information string from a wireless device that is not authenticated and associated,
extract an incoming message from the incoming network information string,
the incoming message containing incoming information not related to the operation of a wireless network; and,
execute one or more predetermined actions based on the incoming information in the incoming message.
9. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , where the one or more instructions further cause the one or more processors to:
forward the incoming network information string to one or more next wireless devices.
10. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , where the one or more instructions further cause the one or more processors to:
encode the message using a string utilization application; and
decode the incoming message using the string utilization application.
11. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , where the one or more instructions, that cause the one or more processors to receive input, cause the one or more processors to:
receive input including at least one of user settings, commands, requests, device details, a message log, contact details, links to websites, links to email addresses, links to phone numbers, advertisements, coupons, and offers.
12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , where the one or more instructions, that cause the one or more processors to execute predetermined actions, cause the one or more processors to:
execute the predetermined actions include at least one of turning on or off a device, initiating a sequence, initiating communication, answering a request, downloading a list, changing TV channels, responding to commands, broadcasting device information, delivering product, or displaying a message on a screen.
13. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , where the one or more instructions, that cause the one or more processors to generate a network information string, cause the one or more processors to:
generate the network information string using a string utilization application.
14. A wireless communication system comprising:
a first wireless device including one or more processors to:
receive input,
the input containing information not related to the operation of a wireless network,
generate a network information string containing the input as a message, and
broadcast the network information string containing the message according to a wireless protocol; and
a second wireless device not authenticated and not associated with the first wireless device,
the second wireless device including one or more processors to:
receive the network information string from the unconnected first wireless device,
extract the message from the network information string, and,
execute one or more predetermined actions based on the information in the message.
15. The wireless communication system of claim 14 , where
the second wireless device is one of a plurality of wireless devices unconnected to the first wireless device,
the plurality of wireless devices each including one or more processors to:
receive the network information string from the first wireless device,
extract the message from the network information string, and,
execute one or more predetermined actions based on the information in the message.
16. The wireless communication system of claim 14 , where
the one or more processors of the second wireless device are further to:
forward the network information string to one or more next wireless device.
17. The wireless communication system of claim 14 , where
the first wireless device is at least a string broadcast station; and,
the second wireless device is at least a string receiver station.
18. The wireless communication system of claim 14 , where
the one or more processors of the first wireless device are to encode the message using a string utilization application; and
the one or more processors of the second wireless device are to decode the message using the string utilization application.
19. The wireless communication system of claim 14 , where
the input includes at least one of user settings, commands, requests, device details, a message log, contact details, links to websites, links to email addresses, links to phone numbers, advertisements, coupons, and offers.
20. The wireless communication system of claim 14 , where
the predetermined actions include at least one of turning on or off a device, initiating a sequence, initiating communication, answering a request, downloading a list, changing TV channels, responding to commands, broadcasting device information, delivering product, or displaying a message on a screen.
