A blockchain-enabled service-based cloud native function (CNF) architecture including an application service mesh network comprising a plurality of applications configured to communicate with each other. A plurality of smart contracts including network slicing information from the application service mesh network are recorded to a blockchain network. The network slicing information is related to one or more of a standard protocol network exposure function (NEF), a standard protocol service communication proxy (SCP), and a standard protocol network repository function (NRF).

An electronic apparatus is provided. The electronic apparatus includes a communication interface, a memory storing log data with respect to external devices connected to the electronic apparatus, and a processor configured to identify a plurality of external devices having a history of being connected to the same internet protocol (IP) based on the log data, acquire, based on the log data, a first feature vector with respect to a relationship between the plurality of external devices and a second feature vector with respect to each of the plurality of external devices, acquire a graph of the relationship between the plurality of external devices based on the first feature vector and the second feature vector, and define at least one group configured by the plurality of external devices based on the graph.

Disclosed are various examples for enrolling a client device and synchronizing user attributes for the client device across multiple directory services. A search request for user attributes can be sent to a first directory service with an identifier for a user account. The first directory service can query for the identifier and send back user attributes. If a global identifier is included in the attributes, another search request for user attributes can be sent to a second directory service with the global identifier. The second directory service can query for the global identifier and send back user attributes.

A method and a device for acquiring bit torrent (BT) resource information are provided. When interacting with a peered terminal for exchanging the data of a BT resource, in the case that a local terminal does not have the metadata of the BT resource, the local terminal, after performing the BT protocol handshake, determines the number of data slices of the BT resource based on the bitmap A of the BT resource sent by the peered terminal, and then a NOT operation of the bitmap A is performed, and the bitmap B obtained through the NOT operation is fed back to the peered terminal to trigger the peered terminal to send an acquisition request to the local terminal for the data blocks of the BT resource.

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.

Data item transfer between mobile devices is provided. Network association and proximity of a plurality of mobile devices of a requested data item by a requesting mobile device are determined using a shared ledger of mobile device inventory data, mobile device network connection data, and mobile device geolocation data. A target mobile device that contains the requested data item, is connected to a same local network as the requesting mobile device, and is geographically located proximate with a threshold to the requesting mobile device is identified based on the determined network association and proximity of the plurality of mobile devices and data in the shared ledger. A transfer of the requested data item from the target mobile device to the requesting mobile device is initiated via the same local network based on mobile device management policies.

A blockchain-based rough gemstone planning method including scanning rough gemstones and generating one rough gemstone records, recording the rough gemstone record to a rough gemstone blockchain network, receiving a smart contract associated for each rough gemstone record, receiving virtual derivative gemstone records, generating derivative smart contracts for the virtual derivative gemstone records, sending the virtual derivative gemstone records and the derivative smart contracts to a trading network, and receiving price information associated with the virtual derivative gemstone records.

In various example embodiments, a system and method for data mesh visualization are presented. An avatar representation of a user is generated. A user-specified change to the avatar representation is received and the avatar representation is changed based on the user-specified change. A current status of the user is determined, and an updated avatar representation is generated based on the current status of the user. The updated avatar is displayed in association with a communication of the user.
