A control method to be performed by a first mobile node disconnected from a mobile line among a plurality of mobile nodes each being connectable to the mobile line includes: transmitting and receiving a mobile line connection status to and from each of one or more second mobile nodes via near-field wireless communication; building a MANET with the one or more second mobile nodes based on a first mobile line connection status of the first mobile node and a second mobile line connection status of each of the one or more second mobile nodes; generating, after the building of the MANET, first transaction data including at least first MANET routing information that indicates the MANET connection status of the first mobile node; and recording a block including the first transaction data into a first distributed ledger that is used for a blockchain in the MANET.

The present disclosure addresses an issue of inherent delay in a cloud-centric architecture in a scenario where multiple remote users join a teleoperation session with a robot such that any one of the users may take exclusive control of the robot and remotely maneuver it as the avatar of a current master. A Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC) based signaling protocol with a hybrid topology for a multi-user session is provided, wherein Audio-Visual (A/V) data streaming happens over a public cloud while each master creates an on-demand peer-to-peer (P2P) channel with the robot for a desired duration of maneuvering the robot that represents the avatar of the current master. Thus, low-latency delivery of control commands results in good user experience. The provided method and system may be applied to teleoperation sessions like telemedicine sessions.

Provided is a process of managing rack-mounted computing devices in a data center with a distributed peer-to-peer management system, the process including: determining roles of data-center management computing devices in a distributed peer-to-peer data-center management system; receiving, via an out-of-band network, a data-center management command at a given data-center management computing device; distributing, based on at least some of the roles, via the out-of-band network, the data-center management command.

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.

Systems and methods are described for performing peer-to-peer software distribution in a Unified Endpoint Management environment. In an example, an unenrolled user device can request enrollment from an enrollment server. The enrollment server can send a list of resources to the unenrolled user device that the unenrolled user device needs based on a group that the unenrolled user device is assigned to. The unenrolled user device can send an identifier of the group to a notification server, and the notification server can respond with an ordered list of enrolled user devices that the unenrolled user device can retrieve the resources from. The unenrolled user device can request the resources from the enrolled user devices on the list until the unenrolled user device receives all the resources from the resource list. The unenrolled user device can then install the resources to complete enrollment.

In various example embodiments, a system and method for data mesh-based environmental augmentation are presented. Attribute data associated with a user may be received from a plurality of attribute sources. A portion of the attribute data may include real-time data. A portion of the real-time data indicative of an identity of the user may be identified. The identity of the user may be authenticated with respect to the real-time data by analyzing the identified portion of the real-time data. Based on the authentication of the identity of the user, a user activity being performed by the user may be identified based on the real-time data, and the user activity may be augmented according to a user setting.
