Event-Based User State Synchronization in a Local Cloud of a Cloud Storage System - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240265092 titled 'Event-Based User State Synchronization in a Local Cloud of a Cloud Storage System

The abstract describes a cloud storage system that provides event-based user state synchronization among various cloud elements. A global user directory is maintained on a remote cloud storage system, containing global user definitions associated with user accounts that have access to remote and local file systems. As global user definitions are altered, user events are generated and communicated to local cloud storage systems for synchronization.

• Global user directory maintained on remote cloud storage system
• Contains global user definitions associated with user accounts
• User accounts have access to remote and local file systems
• Altered global user definitions generate user events for synchronization
• Facilitates centralized control of user definitions and near real-time event delivery

Potential Applications: - Cloud storage systems - User state synchronization - Event-based systems

Problems Solved: - Centralized control of user definitions - Real-time event delivery - Separation of authentication processes

Benefits: - Efficient user state synchronization - Centralized control of user definitions - Real-time event delivery

Commercial Applications: Title: Cloud Storage System for User State Synchronization Potential commercial uses include cloud storage services, data synchronization platforms, and user management systems. This technology can benefit companies looking to streamline user state synchronization processes and enhance data security.

Questions about Cloud Storage System for User State Synchronization: 1. How does the global user directory facilitate user state synchronization? The global user directory contains global user definitions that are altered to generate user events for synchronization across cloud elements.

2. What are the benefits of separating authentication processes from active directory services? Separating authentication processes allows for centralized control of user definitions and enhances data security.

Original Abstract Submitted

cloud storage systems and methods are described for providing event-based user state synchronization among the various cloud elements. a global user directory is maintained on a remote cloud storage system. the global user directory includes a plurality of global user definitions associated with a plurality of user accounts, where each of the user accounts has access to at least one of a remote file system (rfs) hosted by the remote cloud storage system and a local file system (lfs) hosted by a local cloud storage system. as global user definition are altered on the remote cloud storage system, user events are generated and communicated to the local cloud storage system, where they are applied to synchronize the local user definitions with the global user definitions. the invention facilitates centralized control of user definitions, near real-time event delivery to local cloud storage systems, and separation of authentication processes from customers' active directory services.
