    摘要: An architecture for a multimedia peer-to-peer home network allows the automated definition of peer groups, or zones, by using group labels, where each peer is capable of automatically identifying whether other peers are members of the same group, or of another group, and where each peer may freely cooperate with other peers of the same group, e.g. exchange information or share resources like storage capacity. Using this architecture, it is e.g. possible that a user who is accessing a node within a peer group has also access to any other node of the peer group, without being requested for authentication. Another characteristic is that other peer groups can be defined which have access rights to network resources and services. Advantageously, the invention simplifies network creation and operation by not requiring the user to have special networking knowledge.

    摘要: An architecture for a multimedia peer-to-peer home network allows the simple definition of peer groups, or zones, where each peer is capable of automatically identifying whether other peers are members of the same group, or of another group, by using group labels. Each peer may freely cooperate with the other peers of the same group, or with peers of previously specified other groups. e.g. exchange information or share resources. The architecture aims to map an atmosphere of trust existing between users to a technical system. namely their respective home networks. Using this architecture, it is e.g. possible that users who trust each other may give each other access to their own home network, or parts of it.

    摘要: A distributed storage system able to support real-time recording of streaming data shall be provided. Therefore, on the basis of MXF files a data stream is packed into at least a first MXF file (1) and a second MXF file (2). First connection data 1-N) are inserted into the first MXF file (1), wherein this first connection data (1-N) points to the second MXF file (2) Furthermore, second connection data (2-L) are inserted into the second MXF file (2), wherein the second connection data (2-L) points to the first MXF file (1).

    摘要: Current peer-to-peer systems are well defined for messaging and collaboration of peers running the same proprietary software and protocols, e.g. Kazaa or EDonkey. The generic framework JXTA for P2P computing provides various peer-group mechanisms and may address different applications, but provides no convenient method for exchanging messages between different peer-groups. The invention discloses a bridging concept and a delegate concept to establish communication between a first and a second peer-group, including the steps of a first peer being either a member of the first peer-group or a secondary peer relating to a primary peer, wherein the primary peer is a member of the first peer-group, sending a message to the second peer-group; a second peer being a member of the second peer-group receiving said message, detecting credentials of first peer and first peer-group, and detecting whether a connection is allowed; and if so, granting the first peer membership with the second peer-group.

    摘要: A distributed storage system able to support real-time recording of streaming data shall be provided. Therefore, on the basis of Material Exchange Format (MXF) formatted files a data stream is packed into at least a first MXF formatted file and a second formatted MXF file. First connection data are inserted into the first MXF formatted file, wherein this first connection data points to the second MXF formatted file. Furthermore, second connection data are inserted into the second MXF formatted file, wherein the second connection data points to the first MXF formatted file. These connection data inserted as metadata into the MXF formatted files enable both seamless real-time stream recording and stream-able data playback.

    摘要: The handling of metadata being provided in different formats shall be simplified. Therefore, it is suggested to provide metadata in a first metadata structure having a first format and providing a second metadata structure having a first format and providing a second metadata structure having a second format, wherein link data are deposited in the second metadata structure. The link data point to metadata in the first metadata structure. Thus, it is possible to trealize synchronous and automatic editing of metadata and its mirror metadata.

    摘要: When recording packetized real-time streaming data, e.g. multimedia data, it is in general not possible to know in advance the size of the data stream, and thus the required storage area. Therefore the storage device may be full before the data stream is completely stored. The disclosed method for storing and retrieving the remaining part of the data stream on another storage device uses metadata tags (10,11) and data buffers (IB1,IB2) to split a data stream seamlessly into chunks while recording it, and distribute the chunks in real-time to different connected storage devices (D1,D2), so that the chunks can be seamlessly concatenated again in real-time for replaying the stream. The metadata tags (10,11) contain identifiers for the successive storage node (N2) and/or the preceding storage node (N1) and for the last stored application packet.

    摘要翻译: 当记录分组化的实时流数据时,例如, 多媒体数据,通常不可能预先知道数据流的大小,从而知道所需的存储区域。 因此,在数据流被完全存储之前,存储设备可能已满。 所公开的用于在另一个存储设备上存储和检索数据流的剩余部分的方法使用元数据标签(10,11)和数据缓冲器(IB1,IB2)在记录数据流的同时将数据流无缝地拆分成块,并且分发块 实时地连接到不同的连接存储设备(D1,D2),使得块可以被实时再次无缝连接以重播流。 元数据标签(10,11)包含用于连续存储节点(N2)和/或先前存储节点(N1)和最后存储的应用分组的标识符。

    摘要: A logical quality-of-service management method for peer-to-peer networks uses a special group service for QoS management within peer-groups. This group service determines and assigns a budget per time unit for each peer. Such time unit may be in the range of milliseconds or few seconds. It may also determine a group budget for the peer-group. While a peer uses bandwidth, i.e. while it sends or receives data, its budget is decreased. When a peer has exhausted its budget, it has to lower its priority for transferring or receiving data. Each peer is responsible for keeping its own budget. If a peer does not keep the conditions, other peers may have the right to deny the data transfer from that peer. The QoS service function is advertised in peer-group advertisement messages.
