DYNAMIC USER PROFILING BASED ON USAGE PATTERNS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240103924 titled 'DYNAMIC USER PROFILING BASED ON USAGE PATTERNS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method, computer program, and computer system for resource allocation in a cloud computing environment. The system receives a request for resource allocation from a user and determines a profile for the user based on metrics. A workload allocation is then assigned to the user based on the determined profile matching clusters of other users. The system monitors the usage value of the assigned workload allocation, and upgrades the user to a higher workload allocation if the usage value exceeds a threshold value.

  • User profile is determined based on metrics
  • Workload allocation is assigned based on user profile matching clusters of other users
  • Usage value of workload allocation is monitored
  • User is upgraded to a higher workload allocation if usage value exceeds a threshold value

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various industries such as cloud computing services, data centers, and IT infrastructure management.

Problems Solved

1. Efficient resource allocation in a cloud computing environment 2. Automated workload adjustment based on user usage patterns

Unanswered Questions

How does the system determine the threshold value for upgrading a user's workload allocation?

The patent application does not provide specific details on how the threshold value for upgrading a user's workload allocation is calculated.

What metrics are used to determine the user profile in the system?

The patent application does not specify the exact metrics used to determine the user profile in the system.


Original Abstract Submitted

a method, computer program, and computer system are provided for resource allocation in a cloud computing environment. a request for resource allocation is received from a user in a cloud computing environment. a profile is determined for the user based on one or more metrics. a workload allocation is assigned to the user based on the determined profile matching one or more clusters of other users. a usage value of the assigned workload allocation to the user may be monitored. the user is immediately upgraded to a higher workload allocation based on the usage value exceeding a threshold value.
