REAL TIME RESPONSES IN DECENTRALIZED NETWORKS
First Claim
1. A method of enabling to obtain a query result in a data network (1) comprising a number of entities, the method comprises the steps of:
- ending a query from a requesting entity (13) to a number of further entities (11) in the data network,receiving responses from at least some of the number of further entities and determining an initial relative response time for an initial group of said responses,determining a current relative response time for further incoming responses,comparing the initial relative response time with the current relative response time, andenabling to present the responses to a user of the requesting entity when the difference between the initial relative response time and the current relative response time exceeds a relative-response-time parameter.

Abstract
A method of enabling a user to obtain a query result in a data network is provided taken latency problems of decentralised networks comprising a number of entities into account. The method comprises the steps of sending a query from a requesting entity to a number of further entities in the data network, receiving responses from at least some of the further entities and determining an initial relative response time for an initial group of said responses, determining a current relative response time for further incoming responses, comparing the initial relative response time with the current relative response time, and presenting the responses to a user of the requesting entity when the difference between the initial relative response time and the current relative response time exceeds a relative response-time parameter Further, a computer readable medium and a device provided with or for carrying out such methods are provided.

15. A method of providing a query response to a user, wherein the user of a requesting entity (13) sends a query to a number of entities connected in an at least partly decentralized network (1), the method comprising:
-
receiving responses (7, 8, 9) from at least some of the number of entities and determining an initial relative response time for an initial group of said responses, determining a current relative response time for further incoming responses, comparing the initial relative response time with the current relative response time, and enabling to present the responses to a user of the requesting entity (13) when the difference between the initial relative response time and the current relative response time exceeds a relative-response-time parameter.

17. A data network comprising a number of entities (11, 13) wherein a query is sent from a requesting entity (13) to a number further entities (11) in the network system, and wherein responses from at least some of the number of further entities are provided to a processor (10) of the requesting entity, the processor being adapted to receive the responses, and to
determine an initial relative response time for an initial group of said responses, determine a current relative response time for further incoming responses, compare the initial relative response time with the current relative response time, and provide the responses to a user interface means of the requesting entity for presentation of the results when the difference between the initial relative response time and the relative response time exceeds a relative-response-time parameter.

19. A device for use in a method of enabling to obtain a query result in a data network comprising a number of entities (11), wherein:
-
the method comprises the steps of; sending a query (2, 3) from a requesting entity to a number of further entities in the data network, receiving responses from at least some of the number of further entities and determining an initial relative response time for an intial group of said responses, determining a current relative response time for further incoming responses, comparing the initial relative response time with the current relative response time, and enabling to present the responses to a user of the requesting entity when the difference between the initial relative response time and the current relative response time exceeds a relative-response-time parameter, and the device comprises; a requesting entity (13) comprising a processor (10), a number of further entities (11), the requesting entity and the number of further entities are arranged for connecting in a network, and a user interface means (15) for presenting the responses to the user.
