Patent number: 10516723Abstract: A mobile data network supports making subscriber data addressable as devices in a mobile data network. Each data chunk is assigned a device address in the mobile data network. The data chunk can then be addressed as a device in the mobile data network. Data chunks corresponding to a subscriber are distributed across multiple devices in the mobile data network. The location of the subscriber's data chunks is tracked by the subscriber's mobile device and also by a tracking table in the mobile data network.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2018Date of Patent: December 24, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Bin Cao, James E. Carey, Kirubel Z. Seifu

Patent number: 10327133Abstract: A mobile data network supports making subscriber data addressable as devices in a mobile data network. Each data chunk is assigned a device address in the mobile data network. The data chunk can then be addresses as a device in the mobile data network. A first implementation allows accessing data in existing mobile data networks by sending a text message to the device address of the data chunk. When the data chunk receives a text message, it responds with one or more text messages that deliver the data in the data chunk to the sender who sent the text message. A second implementation includes a subscriber data mechanism in the mobile data network that supports tracking, transfer and management of subscriber data in the mobile data network. Making subscriber data addressable as a device simplifies data-centric communication in a mobile data network.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2018Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Bin Cao, James E.

Patent number: 10136308Abstract: A mobile data network supports making subscriber data addressable as devices in a mobile data network. Each data chunk is assigned a device address in the mobile data network. The data chunk can then be addressed as a device in the mobile data network. Data chunks corresponding to a subscriber are distributed across multiple devices in the mobile data network, which may include subscriber devices, network components in the mobile data network, and specialized devices provided by storage providers. The mobile data network is queried to determine related devices. An ad-hoc network of the related devices is formed. A data query by one of the related devices is sent to the related devices in the ad-hoc network to determine whether the data query can be satisfied by one of the related devices. If not, the data query is sent via normal channels in the mobile data network.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2017Date of Patent: November 20, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Bin Cao, James E.
