Here Data Technology Assigned Patent

Here Data Technology, Shenzhen, China, has been assigned a patent (11531593) developed by Hao, Bin, Zhu, Jian, and Zhang, Jingyao, Guangdong, China, for “data encoding, decoding and recovering method for a distributed storage system.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “Disclosed is a data encoding, decoding and recovering method of a distributed storage system for data protection of the distributed storage system. The methods include using local recoverable coding, and calling Reed-Solomon coding on data blocks obtained from divisions of file segments based on coding parameters to generate global coding blocks, locally coding to data blocks and global coding blocks respectively to generate local coding blocks. The methods can also include computing decoded block indices and recovered block indices according to current node , reading block data of assistant node, and implementing decoding of file segments and recovery of failed blocks. The coding method of the present disclosure can reduce the amount of data that needs to be transmitted when recovering a failed node by increasing local coding blocks and speed up the node recovery speed.”

The patent application was filed on 2018-09-03 (16/973027).
