Theta Labs Assigned Patent

Theta Labs, Inc., San Jose, CA, has been assigned a patent (11611615) developed by Long, Jieyi, Santa Clara, CA, and Liu, Mitchell C., Los Altos, CA, for a “decentralized edge storage network with flexible file sharding.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “Methods and systems for decentralized storage are provided. To store a file in a decentralized network, a source node in the decentralized network first divides the file into a plurality of file portions. For each given file portion, a corresponding peer storage node is located in the decentralized network, where a distance between the corresponding peer storage node and the given file portion is below a given threshold, where the distance is computed based on an identifier of the corresponding peer storage node, and an identifier of the given file portion, and where the given threshold is associated with a storage capacity of the corresponding peer storage node. The source node then transmits each given file portion to the corresponding peer storage node, and generates a file identifier for the file, based on the identifiers of the plurality of file portions.”

The patent application was filed on 2022-11-16 (17/988088).
