Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for using structured communications in an observation platform with distributed traffic flow. A signal from a first mobile device is received at a second mobile device wherein the first mobile device and the second mobile devices act as a nodes in a first environment which comprises a plurality of nodes, wherein a first characteristic of the signal corresponds to an audible source and a second characteristic of the signal corresponds to information indicative of a geographic position of the first mobile device. Context information is derived, via the second mobile device, from the signal based on the first characteristic and/or the second characteristic. A third mobile device is determined, via the second mobile device, as a destination for the signal. The signal is relayed from the second mobile device to the third mobile device without relaying the signal to a central server computer system.
