DETERMINE THE KEY IDENTIFIER ON THE SYSTEM TO DECIDE THE UPGRADE STRATEGY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17722792 Titled 'DETERMINE THE KEY IDENTIFIER ON THE SYSTEM TO DECIDE THE UPGRADE STRATEGY'

Simplified Explanation

This invention aims to improve the operation and upgrading of computing devices and systems. It involves a computing device or system that receives information about application upgrades from an application monitoring agent. Based on this information, the device or system requests a device emulation and performs the emulation to generate an application upgrade strategy. The strategy includes predicted upgrade times and takes into account key aspects of the device and the upgrades. Throughout the upgrade process, key identifiers are monitored and used to refine the upgrade strategy.


Original Abstract Submitted

One or more embodiments of this invention may improve the operating and upgrading of computing devices and systems. The computing device and/or system may receive information related to a plurality of application upgrades from an application monitoring agent. Based on the received information, a device emulation will be requested, and an emulation will be performed in response to generate an application upgrade strategy including such things as emulated (e.g., predicted) upgrade times. In order to produce a more refined upgrade strategy the various embodiments also consider key aspects of the device and the upgrades to produce one or more key identifiers. The key identifiers are monitored throughout the upgrade process and are used to refine the upgrade strategy.
