Context-aware task offloading among multiple devices
First Claim
1. A computer program product, comprising:
- a computer-readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code configured to perform an operation to offload, from a user device, computing tasks to a cloud service, the operation comprising;
generating, based on user input, a command for processing by the cloud service;
based on at least one of information about the user device and one or more peer devices and information about the generated command from the user device and the one or more peer devices, ranking the user device and the one or more peer devices, wherein the ranking comprises generating a score for each of the user device and the one or more peer devices based on a weighting of one or more characteristics of the user device and the one or more peer devices;
selecting one or more of the user device and the peer devices to transmit the command to the cloud service for processing based on the ranking information;
upon determining that the user device is one of the selected devices, transmitting the command to the cloud service; and
upon determining that the user device is not one of the selected devices, discarding the generated command.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates to offloading computing tasks from a user device to a cloud service. In one embodiment, a method generally includes generating, based on user input, a command for processing by the cloud service. The user device ranks the user device and one or more peer devices in a network based on at least one of information about the user device and one or more peer devices and information about the generated command from the user device and the peer devices, and the user device selects one or more of the user device and the peer devices to transmit the command based on the ranking information. Upon determining that the user device is one of the selected devices, the user device transmits the command to the cloud service. If the user device is not one of the selected devices, the user device discards the generated command.

7. A system, comprising:
-
a processor; and memory storing one or more instructions, which, when executed by the processor, perform an operation to offload, from a user device, computing tasks to a cloud service, the operation comprising; generating, based on user input, a command for processing by the cloud service; based on at least one of information about the user device and one or more peer devices and information about the generated command from the user device and the one or more peer devices, ranking the user device and the one or more peer devices, wherein the ranking comprises generating a score for each of the user device and the one or more peer devices based on a weighting of one or more characteristics of the user device and the one or more peer devices; selecting one or more of the user device and the peer devices to transmit the command to the cloud service for processing based on the ranking information; upon determining that the user device is one of the selected devices, transmitting the command to the cloud service; and upon determining that the user device is not one of the selected devices, discarding the generated command. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
