METHODS AND APPARATUS TO AUTONOMOUSLY IMPLEMENT POLICIES AT THE EDGE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18344714 Titled 'METHODS AND APPARATUS TO AUTONOMOUSLY IMPLEMENT POLICIES AT THE EDGE'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a system that includes a device (referred to as the "first compute device") connected to a network. This device has interface circuitry to connect to the network and programmable circuitry to interpret a policy based on two attributes - the first attribute describes the first compute device itself, and the second attribute describes a second compute device that is connected to the first compute device via the network. The system then provides this identification information to an application on the first compute device, which causes the application to perform a specific action based on the policy.
Original Abstract Submitted
Systems, apparatus, articles of manufacture, and methods are disclosed. An example apparatus is a first compute device comprising: interface circuitry to connect to a network; instructions; programmable circuitry to interpret a policy based on a first attribute and a second attribute to identify an action associated with the first compute device, the first attribute to describe the first compute device, the second attribute obtained via the interface circuitry from a second compute device to describe the second compute device; and provide the identification to an application on the first compute device to cause the application to perform the action based on the policy.
