SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DATA STORAGE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18353038 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DATA STORAGE
The abstract describes a system where multiple electronic devices discover each other, with one device selecting another to coordinate file storage. The selected device may operate using a temporary file system and delete data based on certain criteria being met.
- Electronic devices in a system discover each other
- One device selects another to coordinate file storage
- Authentication handshake may be performed between the devices
- First device transmits data to the second device
- Second device operates using a temporary file system
- Second device deletes data based on specified criteria being met
Potential Applications: - Collaborative file storage systems - Secure data sharing platforms - Temporary data storage solutions
Problems Solved: - Efficient coordination of file storage among multiple devices - Secure data transmission and storage - Automated data deletion based on predefined criteria
Benefits: - Enhanced data management capabilities - Improved data security and privacy - Streamlined file storage coordination process
Commercial Applications: Title: Secure Collaborative File Storage Solutions This technology could be utilized in cloud storage services, data sharing platforms, and collaborative work environments to enhance data management and security.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the authentication handshake process ensure secure data transmission? 2. What criteria are typically used to determine when data should be deleted from the temporary file system?
Original Abstract Submitted
A plurality of devices in a system discover one another and a first electronic device selects a second electronic device from amongst a plurality of devices to coordinate file storage. In some embodiments, the first electronic device and the second electronic device perform an authentication handshake. After performing the authentication handshake, the first electronic device transmits first data to the second electronic device. In some embodiments, the second electronic device operates using a temporary file system that includes the first data. In accordance with a determination that one or more criteria are satisfied, the second electronic device ceases operating using the temporary file system and deletes at least a portion of the temporary file system and/or first data.
