Abstract

An electronic content exchange system includes a communications medium and at least two storage media. Each storage media includes an interface configured to send and receive messages, a memory storing a current content, a respective unique identifier, and a log of content transfers; and a controller. The controller receives a content transfer message including at least a message content to be transferred, and executes a Transfer-in process to increase the current content by the message content to be transferred and record information of the transfer in the log. The controller receives, via the interface, a content transfer request message including at least a message content to be transferred, and executes a Transfer-out process to generate and send a content transfer message including the message content to be transferred, decreasing the current content by the message content to be transferred; and recording information of the transfer in the log.
