Solution Overview

Problem

Existing file transmission systems fail to provide consistent, timely, and cross-network/cross-platform file transfer capabilities, especially when dealing with different client requirements or abnormalities, and do not support end-to-end transmission.

Innovation Solution

A file transmitting method and system that utilizes N network file systems, N file receiving and forwarding servers, N network access servers, and N backstage/client servers, where the file receiving and forwarding server verifies requests, determines the legitimacy of file transfers, and establishes connections to transfer files between network file systems, client servers, or backstage servers, ensuring legitimacy and load balancing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a distributed server cluster system is used to enable cross-network file transmission, then adaptability and versatility are improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecross-network file transmission capabilityVSAvoidsystem structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system is divided into multiple server clusters distributed across different networks, with each cluster containing specialized servers (file servers, application servers, management servers). This segmentation enables cross-network file transmission by allowing clients to access file servers in different clusters through standardized protocols, while the distributed architecture prevents single-point failures and improves system adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple server clusters are distributed across different networks, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecross-platform transmission supportVSAvoidcluster coordination complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal file access protocol that allows clients from different platforms and networks to access file servers uniformly. The management servers provide multi-functional capabilities including user authentication, file metadata management, and coordination between clusters. This universality enables cross-platform transmission support while abstracting away the complexity of distributed cluster coordination from end users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

The invention provides a file transmitting method and system. The file transmitting method is used for a system comprising N network file systems, N file receiving and forwarding servers, N network access servers, N client servers and N backstage servers that are in a one-to-one correspondence with the network file systems, comprising: the backstage server sends a file transmitting request to the file receiving and forwarding server, the file transmitting request comprises information on the file sending party, the file destination party and the file to be transmitted; the file receiving and forwarding server verifies the legitimacy of the file transmitting request; if legitimate, a file is transmitted between the file sending party and the file destination party; otherwise, a response that prohibits the transmitting is generated and returned to the backstage server that initiated the request. With the invention, transmission of files can be realized.
