US Patent 11777870 Machine-learning (ML)-based systems and methods for maximizing resource utilization

Systems and methods for maximizing resource utilization in a digital communication system are provided. A method may include receiving a direction for a first one of a plurality of edge devices to execute a task, wherein the edge devices communicate with each other and with a central server via a communication network. The central server may be operated by an entity that is independent of the communication network. The plurality of edge devices may each include an authenticated software application that is provided by the entity. The method may also include calculating, via the ML engine for each of the plurality of edge devices, a predicted resource availability score, and distributing, via the central server, the task among the plurality of edge devices based on the predicted resource availability scores.
