A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12003347B2) outlines a method for retrieving data from multiple data generating devices through a system of communication intermediaries. Each data generating device, equipped with memory, generates and stores data files. The system includes communication intermediaries with processors, memory, and network interfaces, isolating communication between devices and external storage. The method involves connecting each intermediary between a device and external storage, monitoring for new data files, determining file generation, copying files to the intermediary, and sending them to external storage.

Furthermore, the patented method incorporates removable memory storage devices containing system configuration information. Each intermediary has a receptacle for these devices, allowing for the loading of configuration information onto the intermediaries. The memory of data generating devices includes directories for storing data files, with the method involving mounting these directories onto the respective communication intermediary for monitoring file generation. This innovative approach streamlines data retrieval processes and enhances data management efficiency within a network of data generating devices and external storage systems.
