Edge-computing-based forensic feedback architecture

A system for maintaining situational stability at a target location, said system comprising:

• a set of digital devices at a network edge, wherein:
• each digital device from the set of digital devices comprises:
• a processor;
• a memory;
• a sensor;
• a communication element for communicating with other digital devices and/or a centralized server;
• and
• a database of event profiles generated by a machine-learning (“ML”) engine;
• and
• the set of digital devices is located within sensor range of the target location;
• wherein:
• the sensors of each digital device in the set of digital devices are configured to generate a data stream comprising situational data that pertains to the target location;
• each digital device in the set of digital devices is configured to transmit, to at least a plurality selected from the other digital devices in the set of digital devices, the data stream generated by said each digital device;
• the processor of each of the plurality of digital devices is configured to conglomerate the data stream generated by the sensor of said each digital device with the data streams received from the other digital devices, to create a conglomerated data stream, and each of the plurality of digital devices is configured to store a copy of the conglomerated data stream;
• the processor of each of the plurality of digital devices is configured to independently monitor the conglomerated data stream for one of the event profiles;
• and
• when a consensus is determined that one of the event profiles is detected, the system is configured to execute, via one or more of the digital devices, a predetermined response to the one of the event profiles.

A computer-based method for invoking a situational response associated with a malfunction of a physical asset, said invoking being executed via a set of digital devices at a network edge, the method comprising:

• generating a database of event profiles, each event profile comprising data associated with a pattern of activity, said pattern that indicates that the asset is compromised;
• accessing the set of digital devices, wherein:
• each digital device from the set of digital devices comprises a processor, a memory, a sensor, and a communication element for communicating with other digital devices and/or a centralized server;
• and
• the set of digital devices is located within sensor range of the asset;
• generating, via the sensors of each digital device in the set of digital devices, a data stream comprising situational data that pertains to the asset;
• transmitting, from each digital device in the set of digital devices to all the other digital devices in the set of digital devices, the data stream generated by said each digital device;
• conglomerating, via the processor of each digital device in the set of digital devices, the data stream generated by the sensor of said each digital device with the data streams received from the other digital devices in the set of digital devices, to create a conglomerated data stream, and each digital device in the set of digital devices stores a copy of the conglomerated data stream;
• monitoring the conglomerated data stream for one of the event profiles, said monitoring performed independently, via the processors of each digital device in the set of digital devices;
• and
• when a consensus is determined that one of the event profiles is detected, executing, via one or more of the digital devices, a predetermined response to the one of the event profiles.
