Abstract
Systems and methods for increasing robustness of a system with a remote server are provided. Some methods can include a first system remotely controlling a second system, detecting a failure in the first system or in a communication link between the first system and the second system, and temporarily removing control of the second system from the first system.
Claims18
A method comprising:
- a first system of a first type remotely controlling a second system of a second type by controlling or retrieving data from the second system or by making control or processing decisions for the second system, the first type being different from the second type;
- the second system detecting a failure in the first system or in a communication link between the first system and the second system;
- and the second system temporarily removing control of the second system from the first system, wherein temporarily removing control of the second system from the first system includes:
- copying control logic in the first system to the second system;
- and enabling a copy of the control logic in the second system to locally control the second system.

A system comprising:
- a first system of a first type;
- a second system of a second type remotely located from the first system, the first type being different from the second type;
- and
- a communication link connecting the first system and the second system,
- wherein the first system executes control logic to remotely control the second system by controlling or retrieving data from the second system or by making control or processing decisions for the second system,
- wherein, upon the second system detecting a failure in the first system or in the communication link, the second system temporarily removes control of the second system from the first system,
- wherein the second system includes a copy of the control logic in the first system copied from the first system, and
- wherein, upon the failure in the first system or in the communication link, the second system enables the copy of the control logic in the second system to locally control the second system.
