Device registration in a hierarchical monitor service

This invention describes a system for managing and registering monitoring services within complex, multi-level networks of wireless devices. It outlines a method for a new monitoring service to announce its presence and register itself within a hierarchical structure, such as a branch office reporting to a regional office. The claims specifically detail how a registering monitor service at one level transmits messages to higher levels to find a suitable place to register, particularly if initial attempts to connect to an intermediate level fail.

Why it matters: Filed before the widespread adoption of IoT, this invention addresses scalable, secure, and energy-efficient device registration in hierarchical networks. The massive growth and complexity of connected devices since 2006 make robust, multi-tier monitoring and management systems critically important today.
