Mobile supercloud computing system and method

Abstract

A mobile supercloud system and method are provided that can improve upon the complexity regarding synchronization and sharing of data with others over the cloud. Embodiments can provide systems that can be quickly responsive to changes made to data on the client device, and which can automatically propagate those changes wherever needed. The system can combine the resources of multiple cloud services together with the computational and storage resources resident on the mobile device, and a system whereby the user's device can participate in completing the restoration of state on the server after catastrophic failure on the server-side.

1 . A cloud resource system, comprising:
 one or more computing devices;   a processor and a memory;   a mobile supercloud component coupled to the one or more computing devices and executed by the processor; and   the mobile supercloud component being configured to identify a plurality of cloud computing resources in a cloud connected to the Internet, associate the plurality of cloud computing resources with a meta-cloud, map at least one of the plurality of cloud computing resources to at least one meta-cloud resource, receive a request via a communication path, from one of the one or more computing devices to access the at least one said resource and causing a transfer of information from the at least one said resource in response to the request to the client.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the transferred information is a location of the abstracted resource to enable the client to access said at least one of the abstracted resources. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the mobile supercloud component associates at least one resource of the computing device with the meta-cloud and maps the at least one resource of the computing device to at least one meta-cloud resource. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 3 , wherein the resource of the computing device is a database resident on the computing device. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 4  further comprising a client on one of the one or more computing devices that changes a piece of information in the resident database. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein the mobile supercloud component synchronizes the changed piece of information in the resident database with a database server. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the mobile supercloud component synchronizes a changed piece of data in a database server with a database resident on the computing device. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein the mobile supercloud component restores a database server using the database resident on the computing device. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein the mobile supercloud component synchronizes restores the database resident on the computing device with a database server. 
     
     
         10 . A method for accessing a cloud resource for a client, comprising:
 identifying a plurality of cloud computing resources in a cloud connected to the Internet;   associating the plurality of cloud computing resources with a meta-cloud;   mapping at least one of the plurality of cloud computing resources to at least one meta-cloud resource;   receive a request via a communication path, from a client on a computing device to access the at least one said resource;   causing a transfer of information from the at least one said resource in response to the request to the client.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the transferred information is a location of the abstracted resource to enable the client to access said at least one of the abstracted resources. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 10  further comprising associating at least one resource of the computing device with the meta-cloud and mapping the at least one resource of the computing device to at least one meta-cloud resource. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the resource of the computing device is a database resident on the computing device. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13  further comprising changing a piece of information in the resident database. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14  further comprising synchronizing the changed piece of information in the resident database with a database server. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 10  further comprising synchronizing a changed piece of data in a database server with a database resident on the computing device. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 13  further comprising restoring a database server using the database resident on the computing device. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 13  further comprising restoring the database resident on the computing device with a database server.
