Title: Video delivery method, device and system
Inventor: IOANNIS PSARRAS
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2019-05-24
Abstract: A method for device-to-device (D2D) data transfer between a plurality of connected devices, each of which can operate as a sender and receiver, comprises sending 210 by at least two receivers 20 a data request to a sender 10, identifying 220 priority levels of the receivers, and sending 230 the requested data to the user with the highest priority level. When the data is received, the receiver generates a transfer confirmation and sends it 240 to the sender, and the priority level of a device is based on the number of received transfer confirmations. Hence devices are incentivised to participate in the system, as the device is rewarded with higher priority based on greater participation. The transfer confirmation may be registered 250 by the sender at a decentralised register 30, which may be based on blockchain technology, and establishing priority levels may involve requesting information from the register. The method may be used for video delivery and for ad hoc data synchronisation between distributed devices.
