US Patent 10264066 Peer-to-peer data sharing between internet-of-things platforms

Techniques are described for sharing data among Internet of Things (IoT) networks. An IoT network may include a platform that collects data generated by IoT devices. The platform may execute an agent that sends a communication to indicate the network presence of the sending platform to broker module(s) that support a data sharing service. The communication may also indicate the type and/or quantity of data generated by the sending platform and available to be shared with other receiving platforms in other IoT networks. The data broker module(s) may generate and send security tokens to the agents executing on the sending platform and receiving platform(s). Using the security tokens, the respective agents may establish a peer-to-peer (P2P) connection over a network over which the data is streamed in real time as it is received and/or processed by the sending platform.
