Systems and methods for geo-staging of sensor data through distributed global (cloud) architecture

A computer-implemented method of staging real-time data in proximity to a mobile device, the method comprising the following operations performed via one or more processors:

• identifying a set of expected routes associated with the mobile device based on location data associated with the mobile device;
• identifying a set of potential storage devices based on the set of expected routes, wherein each potential storage device is associated with at least one expected route;
• determining a set of latency factors for each potential storage device based on a geographical distance between the potential storage device and an expected route;
• selecting a set of storage devices at which to stage real-time data, wherein the set of selected storage devices are selected from among the set of potential storage devices as a function of the set of latency factors for each potential storage device;
• and
• staging real-time data proximate to the mobile device by transmitting the real-time data to a selected storage device and enabling the mobile device to access the real-time data.

A system for staging real-time data in proximity to a mobile device, the system comprising:

• a memory for storing instructions;
• and
• one or more processors coupled to the memory for executing the instructions to perform a set of operations, the set of operations comprising:
• identifying a set of expected routes associated with the mobile device based on location data associated with the mobile device;
• identifying a set of potential storage devices based on the set of expected routes, wherein each potential storage device is associated with at least one expected route;
• determining a set of latency factors for each potential storage device based on a geographical distance between the potential storage device and an expected route;
• selecting a set of storage devices at which to stage real-time data, wherein the set of selected storage devices are selected from among the set of potential storage devices as a function of the set of latency factors for each potential storage device;
• and
• staging real-time data proximate to the mobile device by transmitting the real-time data to a selected storage device and enabling the mobile device to access the real-time data.

A mobile sensor for staging real-time data proximate to the mobile sensor, the mobile sensor comprising:

• a sensor for collecting sensor-collectable data, wherein the sensor-collectable data includes location data and environmental data;
• a memory for storing instructions;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory for executing the instructions such that, when executed, cause the processor to perform a set of operations, the set of operations comprising:
• receiving a poll from a host system for the location data collected by the sensor;
• transmitting the location data to the host system based on the poll;
• receiving an identification of a set of selected storage devices from the host system, wherein the set of storage devices are selected from among a set of potential storage devices based on a set of latency factors, wherein the set of latency factors is based on a geographical distance between a potential storage device and a predicted future location of the mobile sensor, and wherein the predicted future location is based on the location data collected by the sensor;
• and
• providing the environmental data collected by the sensor to a selected storage device based on the identification of the set of selected storage devices from the host system.
