Abstract
The invention addresses individual electronic components on a shared communication bus by using spatial indexing to route data based on the physical location of the electronic components. The spatially indexed two-line data bus maps a spatial grid to a plurality of indexed connection points, which are geometrically arranged in physical space, to a set of electrically conductive grid lines. The grid lines form a communication network which can be connected to electronic components physically located on the mapped spatial grid. In the preferred embodiment, the grid lines are comprised of copper traces on a printed circuit board (PCB). In another embodiment, the grid lines are comprised of connecting wires. The electronic components are connected electrically in parallel with the grid lines.
