Abstract:
For efficient data storage utilization and recycling, gradually degrading data according to data classes and using degrading data policies, predefined degrading rules, and data access patterns for conserving storage space prior. Each data class is associated with one of a plurality of degrading data policies, and each data policy includes a plurality of degrading rules to be applied to a corresponding data class of a corresponding data policy, the degrading rules defining data classes to be degraded based on data access patterns per data class to automatically degrade the data items according to each of the plurality of data classes until a predefined expiration date. Essential data is defined by a user such that the essential data is not subject to the data degradation so as to preserve at least a portion of files, documents, and videos comprising the essential data.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for efficient data storage utilization and recycling by a processor device in a computing environment, the method comprising:\n storing a plurality of data items, each associated with one of a plurality of data classes, wherein\n each data class is associated with one of a plurality of degrading data policies, and \n each data policy includes a plurality of degrading rules to be applied to a corresponding data class of a corresponding data policy, the degrading rules defining data classes to be degraded based on data access patterns per data class to automatically degrade the data items according to each of the plurality of data classes until a predefined expiration date; \n defining, by a user, for the data items, essential data which is not to be degraded according to the degrading data policies,\n wherein the defined essential data includes, for different data items:\n certain portions of a photograph, \n certain portions within individual frames of a video or movie, and \n certain portions of a document, \n \n wherein when the data items are degraded, the certain portions of each of the data items are retained while other portions of each of the data items are degraded such that the data items are still accessible, while portions that are not defined as the essential data of the data items are lost; \n determining the data access patterns of each of the plurality of data items; \n gradually degrading each of the plurality of data items based on the determined data access patterns, the associated data classes of the data items, the degrading policy of the associated data class, and the defined essential data; and \n based on the user accessing at least one of the data items, resetting, for each of the at least one data items, the gradual degrading and expiration date to begin a new degrading cycle beginning with a current, degraded state of each of the at least one of the data items.
