Peer-Binding Web Scripting for P2P Communication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Developing peer-to-peer applications in a Web environment is complex and requires substantial coding and back-end server resources, which can be a barrier for developers without experience in back-end systems and server-side development.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of a peer-binding concept that allows for peer-to-peer communication without intensive coding or extensive back-end server resources, using client-side scripting and a peer-bind function to group users or devices based on criteria and broadcast events, enabling peer-to-peer applications to function without the need for complex back-end servers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional peer-to-peer systems are implemented using traditional client-server architecture, then reliable peer communication can be achieved, but substantial coding effort and back-end server resources are required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary that manages peer groups and facilitates communication between peers. The server stores peer group information, manages peer bindings to content, and routes messages between peers without requiring them to directly discover or connect to each other. This mediator approach simplifies the peer-to-peer communication logic while maintaining reliability through centralized coordination.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses content identifiers and content copies as a basis for peer grouping. Peers are bound to content rather than directly to each other, creating indirect connections through shared content references. This copying mechanism allows peers to join groups based on content they access, reducing the complexity of direct peer discovery and connection management.
2Adaptability or versatility
If peer-to-peer applications are developed with extensive back-end server resources, then robust peer group management is achieved, but development time and resources increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal peer group management system that can handle multiple peer groups and various content types through a single server infrastructure. The server provides generic functions for peer binding, message routing, and group management that can be applied across different applications and content types, reducing the need for application-specific back-end development and lowering overall development time.
Data Source
AI summary
Techniques for peer-binding are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for peer-binding includes: receiving event information associated with an event detected on Web content associated with a trusted script executing on a first client computing device; and in response to a request, retrieving the received event information and sending the retrieved event information to a second client computing device. The second client computing device is peer-bound with the first client computing device via the trusted script associated with the Web content.
