Today, nearly everything is connected via some form of wireless communications, be it bluetooth, 802.11, or some other means. From a quick scan of their highly redundant claim. all they are doing is creating a packet protocol and shoving it out via wireless. Packet protocols are used for this sort of thing all the time, in virtually every product domain. There is nothing unique about this, not even with sending timing information via the protocol. It will probably get a patent because the U.S. patent office is inept and issue a patent for just about anything. However, I see nothing new, original, or deserving of a patent in any of this.
