Patent attributes
The disclosure generally pertains to clock management systems and methods. An example method involves a computer identifying an inaccuracy in a local clock of a client device based on a data bundle received from the client device. The data bundle can include information associated with an occurrence of an event in the client device. In one embodiment, the inaccuracy in the local clock of the client device is identified by detecting a time difference between a timestamp contained in the data bundle and a reference time standard. The timestamp can correspond to a time of occurrence of the event in the client device or to a time of transmission of the bundle by the client device. A corrective action may be taken to address the inaccuracy in the local clock, such as, by applying a time shift to at least a portion of the information contained in the data bundle.
