Abstract: A method is developed for enabling a host device to perform point-to-point (P2P) transmission. The method includes providing device identification, P2P program instructions and a server. The device identification is stored in an external device and the P2P instructions are installed on the host device. The server helps the host device to connect to other P2P devices under P2P approach.

Abstract: A barcode corresponding to an identification of the networked device is attached on a networked device, and the identification is associated with an IP address of the networked device in a server, wherein a terminal device captures the barcode for transmitting a connection request to the server; and the server obtains the identification code of the networked device according to the connection request, wherein the IP address of the networked device is obtained according to identification code for establishing a point to point (P2P) connection between the terminal device and the networked device.

Abstract: A communication system for establishing a P2P connection is disclosed, wherein the communication system comprises: a networked device or service device having an identification; a linking server for providing connecting information to enable a terminal device or client device to establish a P2P connections between the service device and the client device, wherein the identification of service device is registered in the linking server, wherein the client device communicates with the link server to establish a P2P connection to the service device according to the connecting information provided by the linking server, wherein the client device has not been registered into the linking server when the P2P is established.

Abstract: An information concentrating center, is disclosed, wherein the information concentrating center comprises: at least one module for concentrating information from at least one information source; and at least one module coupling to the Internet, for establishing a P2P connection with a remote client device through the Internet, wherein at least one portion of the information is delivered to the remote client device on the P2P connection.

Abstract: An infrastructure for serving client nodes is disclosed, wherein the infrastructure comprises: a first plurality of service nodes; a second plurality of client nodes; and at least one linking server for providing connecting information to enable the nodes to establish connections between each other, wherein each service node provides service to at least one of the second plurality of client nodes through P2P connections respectively, and a first service node of the first plurality of service nodes acts as a client node to receive service from a second service node of the first plurality of service nodes.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a gateway for controlling Wakeup-on-LAN and/or Sleep-on-LAN through the Internet. The gateway comprises a first port for establishing a P2P (point-to-point) connection to the Internet, and a second port for coupling to a Local-Area-Network (LAN) that supports Wakeup-on-LAN and/or Sleep-on-LAN, wherein the gateway collects identifications and addresses of terminal devices in the Local-Area-Network (LAN) for associating the identification codes and the addresses of the terminal devices, so that the gateway can wake up and/or sleep the terminal devices according to messages carrying the identification codes of the terminal devices on the P2P connection.

Abstract: A remote information communication system comprises an administration server, at least one linking server and at least one remote device. The linking method of the remote information communication system comprises steps of: the administration server authenticating the remote device and linking server; the proximal device requesting the administration server to find out a specified remote device; the administration server responding an address of the linking server for establishing a link with the specified remote device; the proximal device linking with the linking server through the address responded from the administration server to find out the specified remote device via the linking server; and the linking server establishing a link between the proximal device and the specified remote device.
