Ultra-low latency edge computing service supporting server
The patent application (Publication Number: US20240015207A1) describes an edge service supporting server designed to facilitate cloud-based edge computing services. The server includes a receiving unit to handle processing entrustment from a terminal and a processing unit to obtain server access information for a target application server based on service identification information related to the edge computing service requested by the terminal. This information allows the terminal to access the target application server within the communication operator network where the edge computing service is requested. Additionally, a return unit is included to provide the server access information back to the terminal, enabling the terminal to receive the edge computing service from the target application server.
Furthermore, the patent application outlines a method for operating the edge service supporting server, which involves receiving processing entrustment for a cloud-based edge computing service request from a terminal and processing to acquire server access information for a target application server based on service identification information provided by the terminal. The method ensures that the target application server can be accessed by the terminal within the communication operator network where the edge computing service is requested. The method also includes returning the server access information to the terminal and selecting the appropriate target application server when multiple options are available, based on a predefined edge access policy. This innovative approach aims to streamline the delivery of edge computing services and enhance the overall user experience.
