DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Hereinafter, a method and a system for realizing content sharing among mobile terminals according to embodiments of the present invention are described in conjunction with the attached drawings, so that the objects and advantages of the present invention will be better understood.
The key idea of the present invention is as follows: in crowded places such as subway, office building, a large number of mobile phone users acquire information through mobile phones anywhere anytime; when a mobile user requests to enjoy a surfing service or a content service of digital multimedia through a mobile terminal, the base station does not need to acquire digital content from the back-end by the Air Interface, instead, the base station queries, in a shareable content index table maintained by the base station, whether other mobile terminal that can provide the content service in a manner of wireless communication exists; if such a mobile terminal exists, identification information of the mobile terminal satisfying the requirement is sent to the mobile user, and the mobile user further acquires the requested content from the other mobile terminal via wireless communication, thereby saving frequency resources of Air Interface.
FIG. 2 shows a content sharing apparatus 200 introduced in a mobile terminal according to one embodiment of the present invention, which comprises a content request interception module 201 configured to intercept an access content request transmitted via an application from a user, an index generation module 202 configured to generate an index of the access content according to the received access content request, an index lookup module 203 configured to look up the local content index table for the index of the access content, and an index sending module 204 configured to send the index of the access content to a base station if the index of the access content is not found.
The content sharing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention can interface with various applications such as browser, multimedia player or the like. A user inputs a content request through an application of a mobile terminal. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the user requests to access a webpage by inputting a Unified Resource Locator (URL) through a browser. The content request interception module 201 intercepts the URL transmitted through the application by the user, and the content index generation module 202 generates an index uniquely identifying the URL according to the received URL. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the index uniquely identifying the URL can be generated by using a Hash function. The index lookup module 203 looks up the local content index table for the index of the URL. Each of the mobile terminals that participating in the content sharing service maintains a content index table locally, for recording the indexes generated according to the local cached contents. If the index of the URL is found in the local content index table, the content in the local cache, which is identified by the index, is directly accessed. If the index of the URL is not found in the local content index table, the index sending module 204 sends the index to a base station through Air Interface. The index can be transmitted by GPRS protocol for GSM, or by CDMA for 3G.
Further, the content sharing apparatus 200 according to the embodiment of the present invention further includes an identification information receiving module 205 configured to receive identification information of a mobile terminal having the index of the access content from a base station, and a content acquiring module 206 configured to obtain the requested content from the mobile terminal having the index of the access content via wireless communication using the identification information.
The identification information receiving module 205 receives the identification information of the mobile terminal having the index from a base station, and the content acquiring module 206 is configured to obtain the requested content from the mobile terminal having the index of the access content via wireless communication, such as accessing a nearby mobile terminal via bluetooth, by using the identification information. The content sharing apparatus of mobile terminal according to the embodiment of the present invention can be implemented in the mobile terminal in the form of a plug-in, or can be integrated into the mobile terminal as an independent software module. The content sharing apparatus is transparent not only with respect to the applications in an upper layer, but also with respect to the transmission layer and the physical layer in a lower layer, without the need to change the existing hardware configuration and transmission protocols. The content acquiring module 206 is further configured to add the index of the access content to the local content index table.
The content sharing apparatus 200 of the embodiment of the present invention further includes a wireless status reporting module configured to periodically report a wireless apparatus status, including at least power consumption status and load status, of the mobile terminal to a base station.
Corresponding to the content sharing apparatus of the mobile terminal, FIG. 3 shows an apparatus 300 for realizing content sharing among mobile terminals introduced at the base station side according to one embodiment of the present invention, which includes an index receiving module 301 configured to receive the index of access content transmitted from a requesting mobile terminal, an index lookup module 302 configured to look up a shareable content index table for the index of the access content, and an identification information sending module 303 configured to send identification information of the mobile terminal having the index of the access content to the requesting mobile terminal if the index of the access content is found, so that the requesting mobile terminal obtains the requested access content from the mobile terminal having the index of the access content via wireless communication. The apparatus for content sharing among mobile terminals at a base side can be implemented in the form of a plug-in, or be integrated into the base station as an independent software module.
If a mobile terminal in a cell requests to access content such as webpage, multimedia or the like through a browser, a multimedia player or the like, the mobile terminal generates an index of access content according to the content access request transmitted via an application by the user, and transmits the index of access content to a base station via Air Interface, which is received by the index receiving module 301 of the apparatus for realizing content sharing among mobile terminals at the base station side.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the index receiving module 301 is further configured to periodically receive indexes of local cache content reported from mobile terminals in the cell, and to combine the received indexes of local cache content to generate a shareable content index table. The base station is responsible for maintaining the shareable content index table, including timely adding or deleting indexes of local cache contents of mobile terminals recorded in the shareable content index table, according to the indexes of local cache content lastly reported from the mobile terminals.
The index lookup module 302 is used to look up the shareable content index table for the index of access content. If the index of the access content is not found, the base station acquires content from the existing communication links, that is, to link to a mobile switch or a data switching device such as SGGN, PDSN or the like via a wire or wireless manner so as to enter into the back-bone network of the operator, and then link to Internet through a gateway of the operator. If the index of the access content is found, identification information of nearby mobile terminals having the index of the access content is sent to the mobile terminal.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, a wireless device status receiving module 304 is further included, which is configured to receive wireless device status, including whether Bluetooth or infrared data transmission is supported, power consumption and load, reported from mobile terminals in the cell. The identification information sending module 303 is further configured to query the wireless device status of the mobile terminal having the index of the access content if the index of the access content is found, and to send identification information of the mobile terminal whose wireless device status satisfies requirements of wireless communication, to the requesting mobile terminal.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the wireless device status receiving module 304 is further configured to periodically receive power consumption status reported from mobile terminals in the cell, wherein the power consumption status can include total electricity amount, remaining electricity amount of the power source and transmitting power. The identification information sending module 303 is further configured to decide whether the power consumption status of the mobile terminals having the index of the access content satisfies power consumption requirement for wirelessly communicating with the requesting mobile terminal if the index of the access content is found, and if the power consumption status of the mobile terminal having the index of the access content does not satisfy the power consumption requirement for wirelessly communicating with the requesting mobile terminal, the access content requested by the requesting mobile terminal is still acquired through existing communication links. If the power consumption status of the mobile terminal having the index of the access content can satisfy the power consumption requirement for wirelessly communicating with the requesting mobile terminal, the identification information of the mobile terminal having the index of the access content is sent to the requesting mobile terminal.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the wireless device status receiving module 304 is further configured to periodically receive load status, including status in which content sharing services are currently provided to other mobile terminals, reported from mobile terminals in the cell. The identification information sending module 303 is further configured to query load status of the mobile terminals having the index of the access content in a current time period if the index of the access content is found, determine the mobile terminal having the index of the access content and having a relatively lower load in the current time period, and send the identification information of the mobile terminal having the index of the access content and having a relatively lower load to the requesting mobile terminal.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, a communication distance evaluation module 305 is further included, which is configured to evaluate whether a distance between the mobile terminal having the index of the access content and the requesting mobile terminal satisfies the distance requirement for wireless communication, if the index of the access content is found. According to one embodiment of the present invention, position information such as longitude and latitude coordinates of the mobile terminal having the index of the access content and the requesting mobile terminal are to be acquired at first, and then the distance between the mobile terminal having the index of the access content and the requesting mobile terminal is calculated by using the acquired position information, to further evaluate whether the distance between the mobile terminal having the index of the access content and the requesting mobile terminal satisfies the distance requirement for wireless communication. For example, the communication distance via Bluetooth needs to be within 10 m, and the communication distance via infrared ray needs to be 0-1 m. If the distance between the mobile terminal having the index of the access content and the requesting mobile terminal does not satisfy the distance requirement for wireless communication, the base station still obtains access content requested by the requesting mobile terminal via the existing communication links. If the distance between the mobile terminal having the index of the access content and the requesting mobile terminal satisfies the distance requirement for wireless communication, the identification information sending module 303 send the identification information of the mobile terminal having the index of the access content and satisfying the distance requirement, to the requesting mobile terminal. The mobile terminal requesting to access content further obtains the requested access content from the mobile terminal having the index of the access content by wireless communication means such as Bluetooth.
