SYSTEM FOR SUPPORT IN THE EVENT OF INTERMITTENT CONNECTIVITY, A CORRESPONDING LOCAL DEVICE AND A CORRESPONDING CLOUD COMPUTING PLATFORM

摘要

A system wherein a request can be processed both in a cloud service and autonomously or locally via a client, and a monitoring of the network quality, for example, the presence of delay, is carried out, and wherein, depending on the current accessibility of the cloud platform, optionally a local alternative calculation is carried out, which may be slower or, for example in the event of real-time requirements, is of a lower quality than the corresponding cloud service, and the result thereof is then temporarily used alternatively by the client is provided. In this way, cloud services can be locally buffered, thereby cushioning connection interruptions between end device and cloud platform, whereby cloud services can be used in a transparent manner for the user and, even in the event of connection interruptions.
