Beijing Kingsoft Cloud Network Technology and Beijing Kingsoft Cloud Technology Assigned Patent

Beijing Kingsoft Cloud Network Technology Co., Ltd., and Beijing Kingsoft Cloud Technology Co., Ltd., Beijing, China, has been assigned a patent (11,385,830) developed by Li, Jian, and Wang, Wenshu, Beijing, China, for “data storage method, apparatus and system, and server, control node and medium.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “In one example, a method includes: receiving a ready-to-split instruction for the to-be-split fragment, sending the ready-to-split instruction to slave servers, so that each of the slave servers obtains data splitting points of the to-be-split fragment, and sends the data splitting points to the master server, when the number of received data splitting points exceeds a first threshold number, sending data splitting points to the control node, so that the control node sends a splitting-storage instruction to the master server, sending the splitting-storage instruction to each of the slave servers, so that each of the slave servers performs splitting-storage on the to-be-split fragment according to the data splitting points, and sends a first message to the master server to indicate completion of the splitting-storage, when the number of received first messages exceeds a second threshold number, performing splitting-storage on the to-be-split fragment according to the data splitting points.”

The patent application was filed on September 26, 2019 (17/281,466).
