Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless devices require a multimedia server for data file transfer, which adds hardware requirements and complex message sequences, limiting their resource-constrained capabilities and efficiency in peer-to-peer communication.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a server-less peer-to-peer data networking system that allows wireless devices to establish direct communication paths using different services, such as SMS and packet data services, to transfer content without the need for a dedicated network server, enabling efficient exchange of multimedia content like voice, text, and video.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a multimedia server is used for data file transfer between wireless devices, then data transfer can be achieved, but additional hardware is required and device resources are consumed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the data transfer functionality from the centralized multimedia server and implements it directly on the wireless devices themselves. Each device gains peer-to-peer data transfer capability through local software implementation, eliminating the need for external server hardware while maintaining reliable data transfer between devices.
Solution Approach 2:
Wireless devices are empowered to perform their own data transfer operations without requiring external server assistance. The devices use their own processing power, memory, and communication interfaces to establish direct data connections and transfer files peer-to-peer, making the system self-sufficient and reducing hardware dependencies.
2Reliability
If a multimedia server is used for data file transfer, then data transfer can be achieved, but complex message sequences are required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes the centralized coordination function from the multimedia server and distributes it among the peer devices. Each device independently manages its own data transfer sessions and message exchanges, simplifying the overall message sequence by eliminating server-mediated communication steps while maintaining reliable data transfer through direct peer-to-peer interactions.
3Device complexity
If peer-to-peer data networking is implemented without a multimedia server, then hardware requirements are reduced, but direct communication paths must be established between devices
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements automatic communication path establishment where wireless devices independently discover each other and set up direct data connections without server assistance. The devices self-manage the complexity of path establishment through local protocols, reducing hardware requirements while maintaining ease of operation through automated procedures.
Data Source
AI summary
A system for a server-less peer-to-peer data network for content transfer between wireless devices is described. The system includes a first wireless device having a first address and content, and a second wireless device. The first wireless device transmits a message including the first address over a first service. The second wireless device receives the message from the first wireless device and establishes a communication path to the first address over a second service to receive the content from the first wireless device. A method embodiment includes transmitting a message from a first wireless device to a second wireless device over a first service, wherein the message includes a first address. The method further includes establishing, by the second wireless device, a communication path over a second service to the first address to receive content from the first wireless device after receiving the message from the first wireless device.
