UPDATING A STATE OF A CLIENT DEVICE BASED ON AN EVENT THAT INCLUDES A SUBSET OF RECORDS THAT IDENTIFY BINARIES ASSOCIATED WITH THE CLIENT DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18438456 titled 'UPDATING A STATE OF A CLIENT DEVICE BASED ON AN EVENT THAT INCLUDES A SUBSET OF RECORDS THAT IDENTIFY BINARIES ASSOCIATED WITH THE CLIENT DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes techniques for updating a client device's state using a limited event size protocol. The initial state of the client device is stored, and events with subsets of records are received to update the state.

  • Techniques for updating a client device's state using a limited event size protocol
  • Storing the initial state of the client device defined by first records
  • Receiving events with subsets of records to update the client device's state
  • Parsing events to identify and replace portions of records for state updates

Potential Applications

The technology described in the patent application could be applied in:

  • IoT devices
  • Mobile applications
  • Cloud computing platforms

Problems Solved

The technology addresses the following issues:

  • Efficient state updates for client devices
  • Minimizing data transfer for state changes
  • Ensuring data integrity during updates

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Reduced bandwidth usage
  • Faster state updates for client devices
  • Improved data management for large-scale deployments

Potential Commercial Applications

The technology could be commercially applied in:

  • Remote device management solutions
  • Real-time data synchronization services
  • Network optimization tools

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be:

  • Systems for remote device management with limited event size protocols

Unanswered Questions

How does the technology handle conflicts in state updates?

The patent application does not specify how conflicts in state updates are resolved.

What security measures are in place to protect the client device's state during updates?

The patent application does not detail the security measures implemented to safeguard the client device's state.


Original Abstract Submitted

Techniques are described herein that are capable of updating a state of a client device using a limited event size protocol. An initial state of the client device is stored. The initial state is defined by first records that identify first respective binaries associated with the client device at a first time. A first event of multiple events, which are configured in accordance with the limited event size protocol, is received from the client device. Each event includes a respective subset of second records, which identify respective second binaries associated with the client device at a second time. The first event is parsed to identify a first subset of the second records that is included in the first event. An updated state of the client device is generated by replacing a first portion of the first records with the first subset of the second records.
