EDGE COMPUTING SYSTEM AND METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18099754 titled 'EDGE COMPUTING SYSTEM AND METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electronic device that can connect to a leaf device in a network and perform edge computing services. Here are the key points:
- The device has a communication module, memory, and processor.
- It can receive a connection test command for a leaf device from an external server.
- It uses the communication module to check if a connection to the leaf device is possible.
- The result of the connection test is sent back to the external server.
- If a connection is possible, the device can receive one or more modules for edge computing services from the external server.
- The modules are stored and installed in the device's memory.
- The installed modules can then be executed to perform edge computing services using data received from the leaf device.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Internet of Things (IoT) devices: The device can connect to various IoT devices in a network and perform edge computing services on the data generated by these devices.
- Smart homes/buildings: The device can connect to sensors and other smart devices in a home or building to provide real-time analysis and automation.
- Industrial automation: The device can connect to sensors and machines in an industrial setting to enable real-time monitoring and analysis for improved efficiency and productivity.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient data processing: By performing edge computing services, the device can process data locally without the need to send it to a central server, reducing latency and bandwidth requirements.
- Real-time analysis: The device can quickly analyze data from the leaf device and provide immediate insights or actions, without relying on a remote server.
- Scalability: The device can easily install and execute different modules for various edge computing services, allowing for flexible and scalable solutions.
Benefits of this technology:
- Faster response time: By performing edge computing services locally, the device can provide real-time responses and actions, improving overall system performance.
- Reduced network traffic: Processing data locally reduces the need to send large amounts of data to a central server, reducing network congestion and bandwidth requirements.
- Flexibility and customization: The device can install and execute different modules based on specific edge computing requirements, allowing for tailored solutions for different applications.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device includes: a communication module; a memory; and a processor configured to: receive a connection test command for a leaf device positioned in a network from an external server by using the communication module; based on receiving the connection test command, identify whether a connection to the leaf device is possible, by using the communication module, and transmit a result of the identification to the external server; based on identifying that the connection to the leaf device is possible, receive at least one module configured to perform an edge computing service from the external server, and store and install the at least one module in the memory; and execute the installed at least one module to perform the edge computing service, based on data received from the leaf device.
