System and method for wireless online processing using a peer to peer network

A computer program product for wireless online processing using a peer to peer network, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising code causing an apparatus to perform the steps of:

• activating a networking application on a first computing device:
• querying a plurality of computing devices to verify if a peer-to-peer (“P2P”) network associated with the networking application exists;
• establishing, if a P2P network does not exist and over a wireless communication channel, a P2P network comprising the plurality of computing devices, wherein the plurality of computing devices comprises the first computing device, wherein each computing device of the plurality of computing devices comprises the network application;
• assessing a network connection strength of each of the plurality of computing devices within the P2P network;
• based on assessing the network connection strength, designating a gateway device from the plurality of computing devices within the P2P network;
• adding a processing task from the first computing device to a processing queue, wherein the processing queue comprises one or more online processing tasks to be processed by the gateway device;
• detecting that the gateway device has processed the processing task;
• and
• updating the processing queue on each computing device of the plurality of computing devices.

A computer-implemented method for wireless online processing using a peer to peer network, the computer-implemented method comprising:

• activating a networking application on a first computing device;

• establishing, if a P2P network does not exist and over a wireless communication channel, a P2P network comprising the plurality of computing devices, wherein the plurality of computing devices comprises the first computing device, wherein each computing device of the plurality of computing devices comprises the network application;
• assessing a network connection strength of each of the plurality of computing devices within the P2P network;
• based on assessing the network connection strength, designating a gateway device from the plurality of computing devices within the P2P network;
• adding a processing task from the first computing device to a processing queue, wherein the processing queue comprises one or more online processing tasks to be processed by the gateway device;
• detecting that the gateway device has processed the processing task;
• and
• updating the processing queue on each computing device of the plurality of computing devices.
