  • Distributed grid computing method utilizing processing cycles of mobile phones
    Patent number: 7515899
    Abstract: Additional computing power is captured using the idle processing power of mobile phones incorporated into a grid computing system, wherein the system is capable of pushing projects out to available mobile phones for processing during idle operation times. To further efficiently utilize the unused processing cycles of mobile phones, a unique protocol is utilized to coordinate processing tasks which makes use of existing short messages techniques to communicate projects. The unique protocol is combination of bootstrapping using standard compression techniques along with an adaptive compression scheme.
