Provided are embodiments of a supply medium exchange system. The system includes at least one supply medium exchange station having at least one supply medium exchange interface. It is configured to exchange a supply medium with at least one mobile unit including at least one supply medium storage and at least one first peer-to-peer module assigned to the mobile unit. It is also configured to communicate with at least one peer-to-peer application of at least one peer-to-peer network. The first peer-to-peer module is configured to cause a generation of a supply medium exchange release message for releasing of the exchange of the supply medium between the mobile unit and the supply medium exchange station by means of the peer-to-peer application.

Supply medium exchange system for mobile units

Embodiments of the invention relate to a control system of a first entity. The control system has a forecast module that creates a supply medium plan of a supply medium unit of the first entity. The supply medium unit is a supply medium consumer, a supply medium producer, and/or supply medium storage. The supply medium unit connects to a physical supply channel network. A peer-to-peer module receives at least one supply medium offer message of a further entity by communicating with a peer-to-peer application of a peer-to-peer network. The peer-to-peer module causes generation of a supply medium transaction agreement about the physical exchange of a supply medium between the first and further entity through the peer-to-peer application based on the supply medium plan and the supply medium offer message. A controlling module controls the supply medium unit in dependence of the generated supply medium transaction agreement.

Control system of an entity

Disclosed herein are embodiments of a building automation system. The building automation system includes at least one first appliance device having an actor and/or a sensor. The first appliance device includes a first function module and is configured to operate in accordance with the first function module in order to provide a first function. The building automation system also includes a peer-to-peer network with a peer-to-peer application and a peer-to-peer module assigned to the first appliance device and configured to communicate with the peer-to-peer application. The peer-to-peer application includes a controlling means configured to provide a second function module to the first appliance device by means of the peer-to-peer module assigned to the first appliance device, and the first appliance device is configured to operate in accordance with the second function module in order to provide at least one second function.

Building automation system

The invention relates to an augmented reality system having a first augmented reality device and a second augmented reality device. The first augmented reality device includes a first communication module at least temporarily connected with a second communication module of the second augmented reality device via at least one data connection during an augmented reality session. Also included is a peer-to-peer network having a peer-to-peer application configured to access a second communication data set related to the second communication module. The peer-to-peer application includes a controlling means that controls the establishment of the data connection between the first communication module and the second communication module by providing the second communication data set to the first communication module via a peer-to-peer module assigned to the first augmented reality device such that the first communication module establishes the data connection based on the provided second communication data set.

Augmented reality system

The invention relates to a roaming method for an electrical charging system with at least two subsystems. In the method, a charging data set is received through a communication module of a gateway device from a charging station assigned to the gateway device. The charging data set is forwarded by a peer-to-peer module assigned to the gateway device to a peer-to-peer application of a peer-to-peer network, and a roaming action is controlled by a roaming controlling means of the peer-to-peer application executed by at least a part of the nodes of the peer-to-peer network based on the received charging data set.

Roaming method

Embodiments of the disclosure relate to a grid control system for at least one electrical grid. The system includes at least one peer-to-peer network having at least one peer-to-peer application. The peer-to-peer application has a detecting means executable by a part of the nodes of the peer-to-peer network and is configured to detect a first peer-to-peer module assigned to a controllable electrical device upon a connection of the controllable electrical device with the electrical grid. The first peer-to-peer module is configured to communicate with the peer-to-peer application, and the peer-to-peer application includes a registering means executable by at least a part of the nodes of the peer-to-peer network and is configured to store at least one identifier assigned to the detected controllable electrical device and at least one switching pattern of the detected controllable electrical device.

Electric grid control system based on peer-to-peer network

The invention relates to a Communications system, in particular, a software defined networking communications system, comprising at least one network device comprising at least one data forwarding unit configured to forward at least one data packet, wherein the network device comprises at least one first peer-to-peer module, wherein the first peer-to-peer module is configured to communicate with at least one peer-to-peer application of at least one peer-to-peer network, wherein the peer-to-peer application comprises at least one controlling means configured to manage at least the network device.

Software defined networking system

Embodiments of a system that includes at least one transport broker entity is provided. The transport broker entity is configured to provide at least one mobile transport unit that is configured to transport at least one object. The transport broker entity includes a first peer-to-peer module configured to communicate with at least a first peer-to-peer application of a first peer-to-peer network. The transport broker entity also includes a first entity having a peer-to-peer module configured to communicate with at least the first peer-to-peer application of the first peer-to-peer network.
