Information sharing among mobile apparatus

1. A mobile apparatus for sharing event information, the mobile apparatus comprising:

a memory tangibly storing program instructions; and

a processor in communications with the memory, wherein, by executing the program instructions, the processor is configured to:

select a remote incident event of interest, the remote incident event being associated with a first event management distributed ledger and a first account;

pay a reward for provision of event information about the remote incident event to the first account;

send a first reference request about the remote incident event to a first other mobile apparatus, the first other mobile apparatus being recorded in an existing verified event block of the first event management distributed ledger; and

receive event content relating to the remote incident event from the first other mobile apparatus.

2. The mobile apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the verified event block includes one or more event notifications relating to the remote incident event, each event notification including a place of an event, time of the event and a signature of a respective issuer, the first other mobile apparatus being one of the issuers included in the one or more event notifications in the verified event block.

3. The mobile apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the mobile apparatus is further configured to:

receive an event notification issued by a second other mobile apparatus;

verify the event notification relating to an incident event; and

create a verified event block constituting an event management distributed ledger associated with an account, the account being used for collecting a reward from one or more information subscribers of the mobile apparatus and the first other mobile apparatus;

wherein at least part of the reward collected into the account is distributed to an information verifier in response to clearance of the incident event.

4. The mobile apparatus of claim 3 , wherein verifying the event notification comprises:

inquiring an event content of the event notification from the second other mobile apparatus; and

gathering a group of event notifications having event contents similar to the event content of the event notification.

5. The mobile apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the mobile apparatus is further configured to:

in response to successfully creating the verified event block, publish the verified event block including the event notification and the group of the event notifications; and

in response to unsuccessfully creating the verified event block, receiving the verified event block published by a third other mobile apparatus and validating the verified event block.

6. The mobile apparatus of claim 4 , wherein verifying the event notification further comprises:

analyzing the event contents of the group of event notifications to detect a change of state in the incident event; and

wherein gathering the group of event notifications further comprises:

gathering only ones of the group of event notifications that reflect a most recent state of the incident event.

7. The mobile apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the mobile apparatus is further configured to:

determine whether the incident event has been cleared;

in response to determining that the incident event has been cleared, declare clearance of the incident event in the event management distributed ledger; and

issue a distribution remittance for distributing the reward collected in the account, wherein a remittance block for the distribution remittance is added to a balance management distributed ledger after confirming that the event management distributed ledger includes a declaration of the clearance of the incident event issued by the information verifier.
