OFFLOAD INEFFICIENT SLICING FROM CLIENTS TO THE SERVERS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17957411 titled 'OFFLOAD INEFFICIENT SLICING FROM CLIENTS TO THE SERVERS

Simplified Explanation

Embodiments of the invention relate to methods and systems for efficiently sharing assets such as files and folders between a host computer system and a client computer system while minimizing the amount of work the client must perform to efficiently transfer an asset. In one or more embodiments, assets such as files and folders that are to be shared or transferred are placed in appropriate network slice queues by the hosts rather than the clients. These network slice queues allow the files and folders to be placed in slices without utilizing the resources of the clients as well as much of the available network resources. This ensures efficient use of network resources, while minimizing the amount of work the hosts and/or clients must perform in order to perform a backup.

  • Hosts place files and folders in network slice queues instead of clients.
  • Network slice queues allow files and folders to be transferred efficiently without using client resources.
  • Efficient use of network resources is ensured while minimizing the work required by hosts and clients for backups.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various file sharing and backup systems, cloud storage services, and data transfer solutions.

Problems Solved

1. Minimizes the amount of work clients need to perform for efficient asset transfer. 2. Ensures efficient use of network resources during file sharing and backup processes.

Benefits

1. Improved efficiency in sharing files and folders. 2. Reduced workload for clients during asset transfers. 3. Optimal utilization of network resources.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimized file sharing platforms, cloud storage services, data backup solutions.

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to network slicing in the context of file sharing and data transfer technologies.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact data security during asset transfers?

This article does not address the specific security measures implemented in the system to ensure data protection during asset transfers.

What are the scalability limitations of this technology in handling large volumes of files and folders?

The article does not provide information on how this technology performs when dealing with a high volume of files and folders in a network environment.
