Methods, Systems and Apparatus to Determine a Distributed Content Share Storage Scheme
First Claim
1. A method to store a content file, the method comprising:
- generating, with a processor remote from a first client device storing content shares of the content file, a first content share storage scheme identifying a second client device to which a first subset of a first combination of the content shares is to be distributed for storage when a first client device is coupled to a first local area network; and
,generating, with the processor, a second content share storage scheme identifying a third client device to which a first subset of a second combination of the content shares is to be distributed for storage when the first client device is coupled to a second local area network, the first and second combinations each having a threshold number of the content shares determined to be sufficient to reconstruct the content file, the threshold number being less than a total number of the content shares into which the content file was encoded and each of the threshold number of content shares being different content shares.

Abstract
Methods, apparatus, systems to determine a distributed content storage scheme are disclosed. Example methods to store a content file include generating, with a processor remote from a first client device storing content shares of the content file, a first content share storage scheme identifying a second client device to which a first subset of a first combination of the content shares is to be distributed for storage when a first client device is coupled to a first local area network. The method further includes generating, with the processor, a second content share storage scheme identifying a third client device to which a first subset of a second combination of the content shares is to be distributed for storage when the first client device is coupled to a second local area network.

9. An apparatus to store a content file, the apparatus comprising:
-
a memory having machine readable instructions stored thereon; and a processor remote from a first client device storing content shares of the content file, the processor to execute the instructions to perform operations comprising; generating a first content share storage scheme identifying a second client device to which a first subset of a first combination of the content shares is to be distributed for storage when the first client device is coupled to a first local area network; and
,generating a second content share storage scheme identifying a third client device to which a first subset of a second combination of the content shares is to be distributed for storage when the first client device is coupled to a second local area network, the first and second combinations each having a threshold number of the content shares determined to be sufficient to reconstruct the content file, the threshold number being less than all of the content shares into which the content file was encoded. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

17. A tangible machine readable storage medium comprising machine readable instructions which, when executed, cause a machine to perform operations comprising:
-
generating a first content share storage scheme identifying a first client device to which a first subset of a first combination of the content shares is to be distributed for storage when a second client device storing the content shares is coupled to a first local area network; and
,generating a second content share storage scheme identifying a third client device to which a first subset of a second combination of content shares is to be distributed for storage when the second client device is coupled to a second local area network, the first and second combinations each having a threshold number of the content shares determined to be sufficient to reconstruct the content file, the threshold number being less than a total number of the content shares into which the content file was encoded and each of the threshold number of content shares being different content shares. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
