Cloud Server Content Sharing via Preliminary Connection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current content sharing solutions, such as those using Rich Communication Suite (RCS) servers, face inefficiencies in transfer speed and user experience due to reliance on network environments and require excessive waiting times for content to be fully sent before reception can begin.
Innovation Solution
A method where terminals log in to their respective cloud servers, allowing shared content to be transferred directly between cloud servers without the need for mutual verification, enhancing efficiency and transfer speed by enabling content to be sent once a connection is established between the source and destination terminal cloud servers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the RCS server is configured in a store-and-forward mode, then the file is completely received and stored before the receiver is instructed to receive it, but the time required from sending to receiving is excessively long
Solution Approach 1:
The source terminal cloud server establishes a connection to the destination terminal cloud server and begins transferring shared content before the receiver completes login or the transfer is fully complete. The receiver can then log in and access content that is already being transferred or has been pre-positioned at the destination server, eliminating the waiting time between sender completion and receiver access.
2Loss of time
If the RCS server is configured in a point-to-point mode, then the receiver is instructed to receive the file without waiting for complete sending, but the process relies on network environments and slow network speed affects total transfer time
Solution Approach 1:
The invention introduces cloud servers as intermediaries between the source and destination terminals. The source terminal cloud server receives the content sending command, establishes connection to the destination terminal cloud server, and transfers the shared content through this intermediary infrastructure. This relieves the direct network dependency between end-user terminals and provides a more stable, controlled transfer environment managed by the cloud servers.
3Productivity
If cloud servers transfer content directly without mutual verification, then transfer speed and efficiency are enhanced, but security may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
Mutual verification between the source terminal cloud server and destination terminal cloud server is performed in advance, before the actual content transfer begins. The servers authenticate each other and establish trusted relationships beforehand, allowing subsequent content transfers to proceed without repeated verification overhead while maintaining security through the pre-established trust relationship.

AI summary
The present invention provides a content sharing method and system. A source terminal cloud server receives a content sending command sent by a source terminal, where the content sending command carries an address of a destination terminal cloud server. The source terminal cloud server sends a connection request to the destination terminal cloud server according to the address of the destination terminal cloud server, where the connection request is used to request to establish a connection to the destination terminal cloud server. The source terminal cloud server sends shared content to the destination terminal cloud server after the connection is established. After the shared content is transferred between the cloud servers, terminals respectively log in to their respective cloud servers, so that the shared content may be browsed and operated.
