ADAPTING TO DIFFERENCES IN DEVICE STATE REPORTING OF THIRD PARTY SERVERS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18615704 titled 'ADAPTING TO DIFFERENCES IN DEVICE STATE REPORTING OF THIRD PARTY SERVERS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system for characterizing the reliability of third-party servers reporting device statuses and adapting protocols for affected device ecosystems.

  • The system identifies servers with high latency in updating device states and assigns a metric to measure their relative delay.
  • When a server fails to meet a threshold, the system proactively retrieves device state updates instead of waiting for server updates.

Key Features and Innovation

  • Characterizing reliability of third-party servers reporting device statuses.
  • Adapting protocols for device ecosystems based on server reliability.
  • Proactively retrieving device state updates from servers with high latency.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various industries where real-time device status updates are critical, such as smart home systems, industrial automation, and healthcare monitoring.

Problems Solved

  • Addressing delays in updating device states caused by unreliable third-party servers.
  • Improving the accuracy of device status representation by assistant devices.

Benefits

  • Enhancing the reliability and efficiency of device ecosystems.
  • Minimizing the impact of server latency on user experience.
  • Optimizing protocols for better performance in updating device statuses.

Commercial Applications

Title: Real-time Device Status Monitoring System This technology can be utilized by companies offering smart home solutions, IoT device manufacturers, and cloud service providers to improve the reliability and responsiveness of their systems. It can also benefit industries requiring real-time monitoring and control of devices.

Prior Art

Original Abstract Submitted

Implementations herein relate to information describing one or more internal states of a technical system. Implementations herein are provided for characterizing reliability of various different third party servers, at least when reporting third party device statuses, as well as adapting protocols for device ecosystems affected by such reliability. Latency can affect accuracy of device states represented by assistant devices. Certain servers can be characterized as especially delayed when reporting an updated device state in response to a user request, and, as a result, the third party server can be correlated to a metric that characterizes the relative latency of the third party server. When the metric fails to satisfy a particular threshold, a server and/or client associated with the “ecosystem” of third party devices can affirmatively operate to retrieve device state updates, rather than passively await updates from a corresponding third party server.
