Abstract

A method for real-time multiparty communications across a social network organized according to a fluid timeline is taught. In the method, a user accesses the social network. The user views a story posted by a first user and favorably reacted to by a second user. The user also likes the story, so the user favorably reacts to the posted story. Since a threshold number of users have favorably reacted to the posted story, a collective network group messaging feature is made available. The user accesses the feature participates in real time in a collective network group messaging session in a virtual room with at least one other user.

Claims (39)

1. A method, comprising:

initiating a platform to host a distributed social mesh among a plurality of users;

for each corresponding user of the plurality of users;

receiving a first request to join the distributed social mesh from the corresponding user;

generating an initial block for a corresponding blockchain in the distributed social mesh for the corresponding user based on the first request, wherein the corresponding blockchain is private to the corresponding user;

receiving next content from the corresponding user to share with other users of the plurality of users;

securely storing the next content in the corresponding blockchain in the distributed social mesh among the plurality of users for the corresponding user; and

restricting access to the corresponding blockchain to other users approved by the corresponding user; and

in response to the corresponding user performing an activity with the distributed social mesh, generating a token for the corresponding user, wherein the token is a measure of value that is exchangeable with other entities, and wherein the activity includes accessing the platform to access the distributed social mesh or providing content to add to the corresponding user's corresponding blockchain.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

establishing a smart contract between a first user and a second user of the plurality of users to establish access between the corresponding blockchain of the first user and the corresponding blockchain of the second user.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a request from an entity to provide information to a user of the plurality of users; and

in consideration for providing the information to the user, providing a token from the entity to the user.

4. A computing device, comprising:

a memory that stores computer instructions; and

a processor that is configured to execute the computer instructions to:

initiate a platform to host a distributed social mesh among a plurality of users;

for each corresponding user of the plurality of users;

receive a first request to join the distributed social mesh from the corresponding user;

generate an initial block for a corresponding blockchain in the distributed social mesh for the corresponding user based on the first request, wherein the corresponding blockchain is private to the corresponding user;

receive next content from the corresponding user to share with other users of the plurality of users;

securely store the next content in the corresponding blockchain in the distributed social mesh among the plurality of users for the corresponding user; and

restrict access to the corresponding blockchain to other users approved by the corresponding user; and

in response to the corresponding user performing an activity with the distributed social mesh, generate a token for the corresponding user, wherein the token is a measure of value that is exchangeable with other entities, and wherein the activity includes accessing the platform to access the distributed social mesh or providing content to add to the corresponding user's corresponding blockchain.

5. The computing device of claim 4 , wherein the processor is configured to execute further computer instructions to:

establish a smart contract between a first user and a second user of the plurality of users to establish access between the corresponding blockchain of the first user and the corresponding blockchain of the second user.

6. The computing device of claim 4 , wherein the processor is configured to execute further computer instructions to:

receive a request from an entity to provide information to a user of the plurality of users; and

in consideration for providing the information to the user, provide a token from the entity to the user.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform actions, the action comprising:

initiating a platform to host a distributed social mesh among a plurality of users;

for each corresponding user of the plurality of users;

receiving a first request to join the distributed social mesh from the corresponding user;

generating an initial block for a corresponding blockchain in the distributed social mesh for the corresponding user based on the first request, wherein the corresponding blockchain is private to the corresponding user;

receiving next content from the corresponding user to share with other users of the plurality of users;

securely storing the next content in the corresponding blockchain in the distributed social mesh among the plurality of users for the corresponding user; and

restricting access to the corresponding blockchain to other users approved by the corresponding user; and

in response to the corresponding user performing an activity with the distributed social mesh, generating a token for the corresponding user, wherein the token is a measure of value that is exchangeable with other entities, and wherein the activity includes accessing the platform to access the distributed social mesh or providing content to add to the corresponding user's corresponding blockchain.
