Methods and apparatus for providing computing services using a blockchain and distributed computing are described. The methods and apparatus allow entities with processing nodes to allow others to contract for and use the computing capacity of the processing nodes without the need for a centralized controller to distribute processing tasks and provide access to the processing results.

Methods and apparatus for performing distributed computing using blockchain

Methods and apparatus for detecting that a processing node, in a network including a plurality of processing nodes, is reporting invalid results and for taking corrective actions in response to the detection are described.

Methods and apparatus for verifying processing results and/or taking corrective actions in response to a detected invalid result

An apparatus includes an object detector configured to receive image data of a scene viewed from the apparatus and including an object. The image data is associated with multiple scale space representations of the scene. The object detector is configured to detect the object responsive to location data and a first scale space representation of the multiple scale space representations.

Object detection using location data and scale space representations of image data

Disclosed is an apparatus and method for classifying a motion state of a mobile device. In one embodiment, accelerometer data representing acceleration components along orthogonal x, y, and z axes of the mobile device are collected. A presence or absence of a half-step frequency relationship between the accelerometer data is determined. Last, the motion state of the device is determined based at least in part on the presence or absence of the half-step frequency relationship.

Half step frequency feature for reliable motion classification

A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided in connection with communication of safety messages by a device on behalf of other devices in a group. In an example, a communications device is equipped to receive attribute information from one or more UEs in a group of UEs, generate group attribute information based on the received attribute information, and broadcast the group attribute information on behalf of the group of UEs. In such an aspect, the communications device is a member of the group of UEs, and the leader of the group of UEs. In another example, a communications device is equipped to transmit, by a UE, attribute information to a leader UE of a group of UEs, and prohibit broadcasting at least a portion of the attribute information. In such an aspect, the communications device is a member of the group of UEs.

Method and apparatus for efficient communication of safety messages for a group of user equipments

Safety message monitoring operations and/or safety message transmission operations are controlled for a mobile wireless communications device. The periodicity with regard to safety message monitoring and/or safety message transmissions is varied based on the environment of the mobile wireless device. The transmission power level with regard to safety message transmissions is varied based on the environment of the mobile wireless device. In some embodiments, safety message monitoring and transmission operations are disabled when the mobile device is determined to be inside a building or inside a vehicle. In some embodiments, safety message monitoring rate and safety message transmission rate is varied as a function of proximity to vehicular traffic and/or the level of detected vehicular traffic. In some embodiments, safety message transmission power level is varied as a function of proximity to vehicular traffic and/or the level of detected vehicular traffic.
