Application: Data transfer workflow in a multi-machine ecosystem (Patent ID: US20240106804A1)
The patent filed by IBM describes a method for facilitating the transfer of data between machines when traditional methods are not feasible. This involves identifying a triggering event, collecting the data to be transferred, and transferring it securely through encryption. The method includes positioning data transfer vehicles around the machines to efficiently perform the data transfer operation, especially when conditions like compromised Wi-Fi capability or being outside a communication range prevent direct transfer. The proactive positioning of data transfer vehicles is based on factors like the amount of data, time-sensitivity, and availability of vehicles.
The patent also covers a computer program product and a computer system implementing the described method. The computer program product includes instructions for positioning data transfer vehicles, collecting encrypted data, and transferring it between machines. The computer system comprises a processor, storage device, and code for performing the data transfer operations. The system's proactive positioning of data transfer vehicles is determined by factors such as the amount of data, time-sensitivity, and availability of vehicles, ensuring efficient and secure data transfer in various scenarios.
