FORMAT CONVERSION POLICY IN CLOUD OBJECT STORAGE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240289041 titled 'FORMAT CONVERSION POLICY IN CLOUD OBJECT STORAGE

The abstract describes a computer-implemented method for converting cloud object storage formats. The processor identifies the target object format and storage bucket in a COS environment, determines the function associated with objects in the bucket, generates a conversion policy based on user input, and triggers the conversion of objects to the target format.

  • The processor identifies the target object format and storage bucket in a COS environment.
  • It determines the function associated with objects in the storage bucket.
  • A conversion policy is generated based on the function, storage bucket, user input, and object format.
  • The processor triggers the conversion of objects to the target format within the cloud environment based on the conversion policy.

Potential Applications: - Cloud storage services - Data migration and conversion tools - File format conversion services

Problems Solved: - Simplifying the process of converting object storage formats - Enhancing user control over format conversions in cloud environments

Benefits: - Streamlined format conversion process - Improved efficiency in managing object storage formats - Customizable conversion policies based on user input

Commercial Applications: Title: Cloud Object Storage Format Conversion Tool This technology can be used in cloud storage platforms, data management services, and file conversion software. It has implications for businesses looking to optimize their cloud storage operations and streamline data conversion processes.

Prior Art: Readers can explore prior art related to cloud object storage, data conversion tools, and cloud computing technologies to gain a deeper understanding of the background of this innovation.

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in cloud storage technologies, data conversion algorithms, and user-centric design principles to enhance the functionality and efficiency of this format conversion tool.

Questions about Cloud Object Storage Format Conversion: 1. How does this technology improve the efficiency of format conversions in cloud environments? 2. What are the key factors to consider when generating a conversion policy for object storage formats?


Original Abstract Submitted

a computer-implemented method, a system, and a computer program product for cloud object storage format conversion are provided. a processor identifies a target object format and an object storage bucket in a cos environment. the processor determines a function associated with objects in the storage bucket. the processor generates a conversion policy that includes converting a first format of an object to a target format, based on the function, the object storage bucket, the first format, and input from a user. the processor receives a request to perform the function on a object having a first format and an object storage bucket corresponding to performing the function on the object, and the processor triggering conversion of the object having the first format to the target format within the cloud environment, based on the conversion policy for the object storage bucket.
