P2P-BASED DATA DISTRIBUTION METHOD, APPARATUS, AND SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18251103 titled 'P2P-BASED DATA DISTRIBUTION METHOD, APPARATUS, AND SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a P2P-based data distribution method, apparatus, and system. The method is used in a data distribution system with at least three devices and a server. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- The method starts with one of the devices sending a request to the server and receiving a response.
- Based on the response, the device determines a set of adjacent devices called the first target device set.
- The device then sends the first data, which includes its identification information, to a device in the first target device set.
- The identification information helps indicate to the device in the first target device set to distribute the first data to a device in a second target device set if needed.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Peer-to-peer file sharing systems
- Content distribution networks
- Distributed storage systems
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient distribution of data in a network with multiple devices
- Reducing the load on the server by distributing data among devices
- Ensuring data availability even if some devices are offline
Benefits of this technology:
- Faster data distribution by utilizing adjacent devices
- Improved scalability and reliability of the data distribution system
- Reduced dependency on the server for data distribution
Original Abstract Submitted
This application provides a P2P-based data distribution method, apparatus, and system. The method is applied to a data distribution system, where the data distribution system includes at least three devices and a server. The method includes: Any one of the at least three devices sends request information to the server, and receives response information sent by the server. The any device determines a first target device set from adjacent devices based on the response information, and sends first data to a device in the first target device set, where the first data carries identification information of the any device, and the identification information is used to indicate the device in the first target device set to distribute the first data to a device in a second target device set when determining the first data as to-be-distributed data.
