Abstract
The present invention relates to systems and methods suitable for verifying and compensating nodes for streaming multimedia. In particular, the present invention relates to systems and methods that utilize a blockchain to verify and compensate devices for computational resources contributions when streaming multimedia over a decentralized network.
Claims24
A system providing a decentralized network for real-time streaming and compensating nodes for participation within the network, the system comprising:
- a first device configured to provide a stream to a second device and compensate at least one origin node device and at least one edge node device based on a quantity of computational resources provided in delivering the stream;
- the at least one origin node device configured to establish a connection with the first device for forwarding the stream;
- and
- the at least one edge node device configured to:
- establish a connection with the second device;
- receive the stream from the at least one origin device;
- and
- provide the stream to the second device;
- wherein operation of the at least one origin node and the at least one edge node are managed and tracked over blockchain.
