Abstract

Systems and methods for detecting the presence of a body in a network without fiducial elements, using signal absorption, and signal forward and reflected backscatter of radio frequency (RF) waves caused by the presence of a biological mass in a communications network.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for sharing device functionality comprising:
providing a first wireless network device communicating via a first wireless network configured for telecommunication;
providing a second wireless network device communicating via a second wireless network configured for telecommunication;
providing a user device entering a geographic range of said first wireless network and discovering said first wireless network device and said second wireless network device;
said user device forming a third wireless network with said first wireless network device and said second wireless network device, said third wireless network indicating a presence of humans proximate to said first wireless network based on interference of humans with wireless network signals emitted by said first wireless network device and said third wireless network indicating a presence of humans proximate to said second wireless network based on interference of humans with wireless network signals emitted by said second wireless network device.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising said first wireless network device making available to said second wireless network device via said third wireless network at least one proprietary function of said first wireless network device.
