Patent number: 8195764Abstract: A first node device transmits to a second node device unique identification information corresponding to specific common information, receives from the information saving node device the relevant information regarding the information saving node device, and requests to a selected information saving node device delivery of the specific common information, the second node device searches the node information and, in a case where there is node information, transfers the identification information to the information saving node device, which is indicated by node information, and the information saving node device, in a case where the transmission of the specific common information indicated by the identification information is available, transmits to the first node device the relevant information regarding the information saving node device, and, in a case where delivery request for the specific common information is received from the first node device, delivers specific common information.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2007Date of Patent: June 5, 2012Assignee: Brother Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yuji Kiyohara, Yoshihiko Hibino, Hiroaki Suzuki, Kentaro Ushiyama, Hideki Matsuo, Koichi Iijima, Tomohiro Kudo, Osamu Tatebe, Yuetsu Kodama, Kazuyuki Shudo

Patent number: 8190779Abstract: The present invention provides a distribution system in which even in the case where the content distributability varies among content holders, desired content can be promptly and efficiently received by a requester. To index information recorded in a root node or cache node so that it can be referred to from the requester, in addition to content ID and IP address of a content holder, easiness information indicative of easiness of distribution of content from the content holder are added. When the requester determines a content holder as a distribution source, a content holder having high distributability is preferentially selected with reference to the easiness information and content is distributed from the selected content holder.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2007Date of Patent: May 29, 2012Assignees: Brother Kogyo Kabushiki Kaisha, Xing Inc.Inventors: Hideki Matsuo, Yoshihiko Hibino, Yuji Kiyohara, Hiroaki Suzuki, Kentaro Ushiyama, Koichi Iijima, Tomohiro Kudo, Osamu Tatebe, Yuetsu Kodama, Kazuyuki Shudo

Patent number: 7839867Abstract: In a first node in a system having nodes connected to each other as a network, request information including identification information and request number of location information indicating a location in the network of information saving nodes is transmitted to a second node. In the second node, the location information and identification information are saved. At least the location information whose number corresponds to the request number is transmitted to the first node when the number of the saved location information meets the request number. Otherwise, the location information whose number corresponds to the number of the saved location information is transmitted to the first node. The received request information is transferred when the second node itself is not a management node, to a node interposed between the second node and the management node, or to the management node when there is no node therebetween.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2007Date of Patent: November 23, 2010Assignees: Brother Kogyo Kabushiki Kaisha, Xing Inc.Inventors: Hideki Matsuo, Yoshihiko Hibino, Yuji Kiyohara, Hiroaki Suzuki, Kentaro Ushiyama, Koichi Iijima, Tomohiro Kudo, Osamu Tatebe, Yuetsu Kodama, Kazuyuki Shudo

Patent number: 7609287Abstract: A program broadcasting system is provided with: a material server; a plurality of communication terminal apparatuses; and an information management server connected through a communication network. The material server comprises a material DB which accumulates material composing a program. The communication terminal apparatus comprises a program progress table and a HDD which accumulates the material. The information management server comprises a material index list DB which stores contents of the material corresponding to the material server or the communication terminal apparatus, and a program DB which stores the program progress table corresponding to the communication terminal apparatus. In accordance with the program progress table, the information management server instructs the material server to send the material, and the communication terminal apparatus to send or receive the material.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2004Date of Patent: October 27, 2009Assignees: Brother Kogyo Kabushiki Kaisha, Xing Inc.Inventors: Yuichi Yasutomo, Kazuhiro Omura, Kazuyuki Shudo, Tomonari Sonoda

Publication number: 20080027897Abstract: The present invention enables replicas of the necessary number in a distribution system to be disposed autonomously in proper positions in the distribution system without providing a server or the like and enables necessary content to be distributed more efficiently. One or plural pieces of content is/are recorded in nodes N1 to N4 as components of a distribution system in which content C1 to C4 to be distributed are directly transmitted/received among the nodes N via a network. An evaluation value having a value based on at least the number of distribution requests is generated and stored for each piece of the content C1 to C4.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2007Publication date: January 31, 2008Applicants: BROTHER KOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHA, XING INC.Inventors: Kentaro Ushiyama, Yoshihiko Hibino, Yuji Kiyohara, Hiroaki Suzuki, Koichi Iijima, Tomohiro Kudo, Osamu Tatebe, Yuetsu Kodama, Kazuyuki Shudo
