PACKET LOSS AND CONFIDENCE SCORES IN A DISTRIBUTED CONFIDENCE FABRIC - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240340235 titled 'PACKET LOSS AND CONFIDENCE SCORES IN A DISTRIBUTED CONFIDENCE FABRIC

Simplified Explanation:

The patent application describes a data confidence fabric that is aware of network topology. It associates confidence information with data transmitted over different communication channels, reflecting events like failover in the confidence scores. This allows applications to determine the trustworthiness of data based on the transmission path.

• Key Features and Innovation:

   - Data confidence fabric that is network topology aware
   - Association of confidence information with data transmitted over various communication channels
   - Reflection of events like failover in confidence scores
   - Enables applications to assess the trustworthiness of data based on transmission path

• Potential Applications:

   - Data security and integrity verification in communication networks
   - Real-time monitoring and management of data transmission
   - Enhanced reliability and resilience in data transfer processes

• Problems Solved:

   - Lack of visibility into the transmission path of data
   - Difficulty in assessing the trustworthiness of data based on communication channels
   - Inability to account for network events like failover in data confidence assessment

• Benefits:

   - Improved data trustworthiness and reliability
   - Enhanced network performance and resilience
   - Better decision-making based on confidence scores

• Commercial Applications:

   - Secure data transmission solutions for enterprises
   - Network monitoring and management tools for telecom companies
   - Data integrity verification services for cloud service providers

• Prior Art:

   - Readers can explore existing patents related to network-aware data confidence systems and communication channel monitoring.

• Frequently Updated Research:

   - Stay updated on advancements in network topology-aware data confidence systems and communication channel monitoring technologies.

Questions about network-aware data confidence fabric: 1. How does the data confidence fabric account for network topology in assessing data trustworthiness? 2. What are the potential implications of failover events on confidence scores in the data transmission process?

Original Abstract Submitted

a data confidence fabric that is network topology aware is disclosed. when data is able to be transmitted over one of multiple communication channels, confidence information related to the transmission of the data over a selected communication channel is associated with the data. events, such as failover, are also reflected in the confidence information and confidence score of the data. the confidence information and/or confidence scores allow applications to determine how to trust data in a manner that accounts for the transmission path.
