Patent ID: 8560685

Claim:
A machine-implemented method for peer-to-peer management of an incoming event tracking data communication, the method comprising: receiving, by a processor, an event tracking data communication, wherein the event tracking data communication includes event tracking data for tracking an activity associated with a source of the event tracking data communication; determining, by the processor, whether a tracking account associated with the event tracking data communication has an owner, wherein the owner comprises a real-time server assigned to process incoming event tracking data communications associated with the tracking account; registering, by the processor, an intent for ownership of the tracking account if it is determined that the tracking account does not have an owner; accumulating, by the processor, incoming event tracking data communications during a random period of time; and after the random period of time has elapsed, determining, by the processor, whether the tracking account has an owner, and registering, by the processor, for ownership of the tracking account if it is determined that the tracking account does not have an owner.
