US 7984182 B2Abstract
A node device which participates in an overlay network formed by participation of all or part of a plurality of node devices which are connected to each other via a communication device. The node device includes a search information transmission device, a reply information receiving device, a communication load information device, a communication load comparison device, a node selection device and a participation request information transmission device. The search information transmission device transmits search information to search a node device transmitted to an information processing device connected to the communication device. The receiving device receives information replied from the plurality of node devices. The comparison device compares information regarding communication load in each of the communication routes. The selection device selects a node device on the basis of comparison result by the comparison device. The participation request information transmission device transmits the participation request information to the selected node device.
This is a Continuation-in-Part of International Application No. PCT/JP2005/022919 filed Dec. 14, 2005, which claims the benefit of Japanese Patent Application No. 2005-003051 filed Jan. 7, 2005. The disclosure of the prior applications are hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
The present invention has been made in consideration of the above problem and the like and aims at providing a node device, a network participation processing program, a network participation processing method, and the like which enables to configure an overlay network, in which a consideration has been given to locality, and to reduce unnecessary load to a real network.
The present invention is not confined to the configuration listed in the foregoing embodiments, but it is easily understood that the person skilled in the art can modify such configurations into various other modes, within the scope of the present invention described in the claims. Hereinafter, each designation of numerical reference in the drawings is typically as follows:
1: node device; 8: network; 11: control part; 12: storage part; 13: buffer memory; 14: decoder; 15: image processing part; 16: display part; 17: audio processing part; 18: speaker; 20: communication part; 21: input part; 22: bus; and S: content delivery system. Embodiments
Embodiments of the present invention will be explained on the basis of drawings. Note that embodiments are for the case where the present invention is applied to a content delivery system.
First, with reference to FIGS. 7 to 9, operation of the content delivery system S in the Example 1 will be explained.
First, with reference to FIG. 10, operation of the content delivery system S in Example 2 will be explained.
