Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current peer-to-peer (P2P) network technologies face challenges in identifying specific game packets and optimizing transmission routes, leading to reduced network speed and increased latency, especially when connecting players across long distances, due to the lack of clear packet characteristics and reliance on costly location services.
Innovation Solution
A P2P network boost system comprising a hardware boosting device with a geographical location judging module, P2P matching module, and transmitting module that connects to boosting nodes on the internet to detect specific packets, plan optimal routes, and synchronize boosting information for enhanced packet transmission.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If P2P connection is used for direct player exchange, then game speed is improved and server maintenance costs are reduced, but network latency increases for long-distance connections
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces boosting nodes as intermediary devices in the P2P network. These nodes receive packets from source players, determine optimal routing paths based on player locations, and forward packets through optimized routes. This mediator approach allows direct P2P communication while reducing latency through intelligent routing, resolving the contradiction between direct connection speed and long-distance latency.
2Productivity
If current network boosting technology is used, then matching server optimization is achieved, but game packet identification and transmission optimization fail
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies packet signature marking to game packets, effectively 'coloring' or tagging them with identifiable characteristics. The boosting nodes detect these signatures to distinguish game packets from other traffic. This allows reliable game packet identification while maintaining the matching server's optimization capabilities, resolving the contradiction between matching efficiency and packet identification accuracy.
3Measurement precision
If GPS and GEO modules are used to obtain player location, then location accuracy is improved, but device cost and network cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables players to self-report their geographical locations through input interfaces on their devices. This self-service approach eliminates the need for expensive GPS and GEO hardware modules while still obtaining location information needed for routing optimization. The location data is provided voluntarily by players, reducing device complexity and cost while maintaining the ability to optimize packet routes.

AI summary
A peer-to-peer (P2P) network boost system for boosting the transmission of specific packets between at least two electronic devices on the internet includes at least one boosting node and a hardware boosting device, wherein the hardware boosting device includes a geographical location judging module, a P2P matching module and a transmitting module. The boosting node is configured for receiving the specific packets and planning the transmitting route of the specific packet. The hardware boosting device judges the specific packets from a plurality of packets sent by the electronic device and sends the specific packets to the others electronic devices through the boosting node. The P2P network boost system achieves the network boosting function and optimizes the transmitting route through the hardware boosting device and the boosting node to improve the connecting quality and reduce the connecting cost.
