EXTENSION OF NETWORK PROXY TO TRAFFIC FOR TETHERED OR OTHER COMPANION DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18181703 titled 'EXTENSION OF NETWORK PROXY TO TRAFFIC FOR TETHERED OR OTHER COMPANION DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of this patent application describes a method that involves using proxy auto-configuration (PAC) files to manage and forward network traffic between multiple electronic devices. The method includes the following steps:

  • Obtaining first and second PAC files at a first electronic device.
  • Executing a first local proxy server on the first electronic device to receive and forward traffic from the first electronic device and at least one second electronic device, based on the first PAC file.
  • Executing a second local proxy server on the first electronic device to forward traffic from the second electronic device(s) to the first local proxy server, based on a second PAC file.
  • Receiving the traffic from the second electronic device(s) at the first local proxy server from the second local proxy server.
  • Forwarding the traffic from the second electronic device(s) to an external proxy server using the first local proxy server.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Network traffic management and optimization in complex network environments.
  • Secure and efficient routing of traffic between multiple electronic devices.
  • Load balancing and distribution of network traffic across different proxy servers.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Simplifies the management and configuration of network traffic routing.
  • Enables efficient and secure forwarding of traffic between multiple devices.
  • Provides flexibility in customizing traffic routing based on different PAC files.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved network performance and efficiency.
  • Enhanced security and privacy of network communications.
  • Simplified network administration and configuration.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method includes obtaining, at a first electronic device, first and second proxy auto-configuration (PAC) files. The method also includes executing, by the first electronic device, a first local proxy server configured to receive traffic forwarded by the first electronic device and at least one second electronic device. The first local proxy server is configured to forward the traffic based on the first PAC file. The method further includes executing, by the first electronic device, a second local proxy server configured to forward the traffic from the second electronic device(s) to the first local proxy server based on a second PAC file. The method also includes receiving, at the first local proxy server from the second local proxy server, the traffic from the second electronic device(s). In addition, the method includes forwarding, using the first local proxy server, the traffic from the second electronic device(s) to an external proxy server.
