Abstract

A system, method, and computer program product are provided for managing a network based on feedback according to one embodiment. In use, the method includes establishing a network, and connecting at least one device to the network. Additionally, the method includes receiving feedback from the at least one device. Lastly, the network is managed based on the feedback form the at least one device. Additional systems, methods, and computer program products are also presented.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A computer program product embodied on a non-transitory computer readable medium, comprising:
code configured to establish a network; code configured to connect one or more devices to the network; code configured to receive feedback from the one or more devices; and code configured to manage the network based on the feedback from the one or more devices.

2 . The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein managing the network includes adjusting settings associated with the network and/or the connection of the one or more devices to the network.

3 . The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein the computer program product is physically integrated with an automobile.

4 . The computer program product of claim 3 , wherein one of the devices is a mobile device in proximity to the automobile.

5 . The computer program product of claim 1 , comprising: code configured to designate at least one of the one or more devices as a master device; and code configured to designate at least one of the one or more devices as a slave device, wherein the master device has control over the slave device.

6 . The computer program product of claim 5 , wherein the master device has control over at least a portion of the network.

7 . The computer program product of claim 5 , wherein managing the network includes re-designating at least one of the slave device as a second master device, and the master device as a second slave device.

8 . The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein the feedback includes information and/or commands corresponding to the one or more devices.

9 . A method, comprising:
establishing a network; connecting one or more devices to the network; receiving feedback from the one or more devices; and managing the network based on the feedback from the one or more devices.

10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein managing the network includes adjusting settings associated with the network and/or the connection of the one or more devices to the network.

11 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the method is implemented by a controller, the controller being physically integrated with an automobile.

12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein one of the devices is a mobile device in proximity to the automobile.

13 . The method of claim 9 , comprising: designating at least one of the one or more devices as a master device; and designating at least one of the one or more devices as a slave device, wherein the master device has control over the slave device.

14 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the master device has control over at least a portion of the network.

15 . The method of claim 13 , wherein managing the network includes re-designating at least one of the slave device as a second master device, and the master device as a second slave device.

16 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the feedback includes information and/or commands corresponding to the one or more devices.

17 . A system comprising:
a memory system; and a processing circuit coupled to the memory system and configured to:
establish, by the processing circuit, a network;
connect, by the processing circuit, one or more devices to the network;
receive, by the processing circuit, feedback from the one or more devices; and
manage, by the processing circuit, the network based on the feedback from the one or more devices,
wherein managing the network includes adjusting settings associated with the network and/or the connection of the one or more devices to the network.

18 . The system of claim 17 , wherein the processing circuit is physically integrated with an automobile, wherein one of the devices is a mobile device in proximity to the automobile.

19 . The system of claim 17 , comprising: designating at least one of the one or more devices as a master device; and designating at least one of the one or more devices as a slave device, wherein the master device has control over the slave device, wherein the master device has control over at least a portion of the network, wherein managing the network includes re-designating at least one of the slave device as a second master device, and the master device as a second slave device.

20 . The system of claim 17 , wherein the feedback includes information and/or commands corresponding to the one or more devices.
