  • Patent number: 10334051
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for providing access to wireless data to devices that, for any given reason, cannot communicate on long range wireless networks. As described herein, host devices can allow guest devices to pair via a short range wireless system. Host devices can then act like a courier for data that a guest device wishes to send. A broker system can schedule pairing between devices based on how much data a host device is willing to sell and at what price. Examples of guest devices could be sports equipment used to measure analytic sports data. Integrating a complete cellular interface into a ball may be expensive, considering the costs of data plans. It may be cheaper for an integrated Bluetooth chip to intermittently connect to a nearby smartphone and use the smartphone to send data to a user.
