Application: Distributed neural network (Patent ID: US20240104359A1)
The patent filed by SAP SE introduces techniques for defining, deploying, and utilizing distributed neural networks consisting of various computing elements, including IoT devices. The distributed neural network operates by assigning specific computing elements as neurons, managing data processing requests in case of unavailability of certain elements, and redefining the network structure to replace missing elements. Configuration information includes defining input providers, weights, output receivers, and activation functions for each neuron.
The patent further details a computing system and method for implementing distributed neural networks, where computing elements are assigned as neurons and communicate to process data requests. The system can handle unavailability of computing elements by reassigning functions to other elements and processing data requests despite missing neurons. Additionally, the patent covers scenarios where IoT devices with hardware sensors are integrated into the distributed neural network, enabling data processing requests based on sensor inputs. The patent emphasizes the flexibility and adaptability of the distributed neural network structure, ensuring seamless operation even in the face of computing element unavailability.
