"No it is complex, and the big deal is you can have algorithms within stand-alone sensors and within the phone and on the server,,"

That's what I stated....

It's a matter of where, as you note, template(sampling data arena) are stored for compare processing. There can be countless templates created for countless uses, some simple, some more involved..... for digesting all kinds of RAW digital data for a best fit result.

Some of the templates are static, some will grow. Some require little processing, some require more.

It may turn into one hell of a sensor web, however, I do not see it as complicated.....
