INTELLIGENT TASK OFFLOADING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18278484 titled 'INTELLIGENT TASK OFFLOADING

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for operating a device that interacts with a physical environment by determining actions based on computing tasks, estimating risks associated with these actions, obtaining performance indicators of communication networks, and deciding whether to offload computing tasks to remote devices based on risk levels and performance indicators.

  • Method involves determining actions based on computing tasks
  • Estimates risks of physical harm associated with actions in the physical environment
  • Obtains performance indicators of communication network between device and remote computing device
  • Decides whether to offload computing tasks to remote device or perform locally based on risk levels and performance indicators

Original Abstract Submitted

A method of operating a device that interacts with a physical environment includes determining to take an action on the physical environment wherein the action is based on an output of a computing task, generating a risk level that estimates a risk of physical harm associated with taking the action within the physical environment, obtaining a performance indicator of a communication network between the device and a remote computing device, and determining, based on the risk level and the performance indicator, whether to offload the computing task to the remote computing device or to perform the computing task locally. Related devices are also disclosed.
