Abstract

The present invention is a peer-to-peer (or peer-to-server) technology that allows users or devices to purchase computing power, sensor data, and content from one another via cryptocurrency (Carbon12). Shared computing power distributed across multiple devices permits convenient devices with compact hardware as CPU requirements. The technology includes protocols and methods for transmission, exchange, valuation, advertisement of devices' computing power, sensor data, cache memory, certain algorithmic functions, and finally, settlement features for purchasing or selling the aforementioned. The network and its features allow users to display, consume, and compute augmented reality content through their devices, solving multiple AR and computer vision space issues. Payments using the cryptocurrency Carbon12 provide users with an incentive to share their dormant computing power, thereby creating a network of participating nodes, increasing the capability and accessibility of the present invention.
