James THOMASON has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 12238168
    Abstract: The present invention is a data protocol providing notarization of a data between two or more nodes on a content-addressable peer-to-peer storage network. A node generates a new data block, which is witnessed by peer nodes to increase the integrity of the data. Each peer node responds to the node's signature request with an encoded digital signature of the data using a private key. The node appends the signature from each witness node to the data block and then generates a cryptographic hash of the entire data block, which is used as the identity of the block.

  • Patent number: 12219212
    Abstract: An example method can comprise receiving content for presentation at a user device. The content can comprise a plurality of sections, and each section can comprise a video portion and an audio portion. The user device can also receive content metadata regarding one or more features of the content, where the features of the content comprise one or more candidate sections of the content for modification. The user device can apply one or more rules to the received content based on the content metadata to modify one or more of the audio portion and the video portion of at least one section of the content, creating modified content, and can cause presentation of the modified content on a display device.

  • Patent number: 12095853
    Abstract: Systems and methods for distributed edge computing to deliver multi-access edge computing (MEC) and cellular access on a mobile network. The edge computing platform reduces latency and increases network throughput to devices by locating edge server nodes in close proximity to the devices. The systems and methods include a network of edge platform nodes operable to provide enhanced mobile coverage and accelerated content delivery for private and/or public mobile network operator (MNO) customers. The present invention is operable to create a private cellular network, wherein the cellular wireless network is also accessible by devices of mobile networks outside of the private cellular network. while still maintaining necessary privacy and quality of service. The present invention is also operable to create a public cellular network using the same node infrastructure and edge computing platform.

  • Patent number: 12058599
    Abstract: Systems and methods for locating server nodes in close proximity to edge devices using georouting. Microservers automatically form a global peer-to-peer network to serve edge functions and content to edge devices. Edge devices use HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) to execute serverless functions or otherwise retrieve data from edge nodes located in close proximity to the HTTP client. Serverless functions are implemented in secure, isolated environment utilizing a blockchain.

  • Patent number: 12058204
    Abstract: Systems for locating server nodes for edge devices using latency-based georouting. A cloud platform including at least one cloud platform router and a node database is in network communication with at least one edge device and server nodes, and receives a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) request from the at least one edge device. The database is queried using an application programming interface (API) query and data is fetched from the plurality of server nodes. A query result is returned indicating a nearest node from the server nodes. The HTTP request is responded to with a unique hypertext markup language (HTML) web page. The HTTP request is executed using the nearest node. The API query to the database includes API query parameters, including geolocation for the edge device, which is appended to the API query parameters to a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI).
