Edge computing service recommendations based on latency estimates
The patent US12068940B2 outlines a method and system for optimizing the selection of computing service providers based on customer location and latency requirements. The process begins with receiving customer information, which includes the desired computing service and location data. The system then determines the locations of multiple provider computing sites and estimates latency for each based on the distance from the customer site. An ordered list of these providers is generated, which is refined through additional latency tests conducted via a client agent. This ensures that the final selection of a provider is based on accurate latency estimates, ultimately enhancing the efficiency of service delivery.
Further enhancements to the method include the ability to set a service radius based on specific latency requirements, ensuring that only providers within this radius are considered. The system also evaluates the availability of necessary resources at each provider site, allowing for the inclusion of sites that can add resources if needed. Additionally, the method incorporates mechanisms to verify the location of the client device and perform latency tests accordingly. This comprehensive approach not only streamlines the selection process but also aims to provide optimal service quality by considering both geographical and resource availability factors.
