Pattern

Proactive / Scheduled Loop

Move the routine off your machine and into the cloud, where it persists without your session. A schedule or an external event invokes each run; the routine executes whether or not you are at your desk, and no human is present in real time to end it.

Classification Invocation type (the cloud holds the stop decision; no human in real time).
