Patent number: 9923866Abstract: A communication system allows terminals PC1 and PC2 located behind NAT routers to communicate with each other by using source address, source port number, destination address and destination port number. The terminals PC1 and PC2 send data to a server in order to notify respective partner terminals PC2 and PC1 of their respective source port numbers. The server notifies the terminals PC2 and PC1 of port numbers based on the source port numbers used for the data transmission by the terminals PC1 and PC2. The terminals PC1 and PC2 attempt to connect to the terminals PC2 and PC1, respectively, by sending data by using source port numbers different from the source port numbers used for the data transmission to the server SV, and destination port numbers based on the received port numbers related to the terminals PC2 and PC1.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2014Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignee: YAMAHA CORPORATIONInventor: Takahiro Hara

Patent number: 9413653Abstract: In a communication system, using source address, source port number, destination address and destination port number, terminals A and B located behind NAT routers A and B, respectively, communicate with each other through the NAT routers A and B. A server SV which is not located behind any NAT routers identifies the NAT router A as a NAT router of a certain type which translates the source port number into a different source port number if the destination port number is changed. The server SV then guesses a port number obtained by adding (or subtracting) a value to (or from) the source port number used for transmission of data from the terminal A through the NAT router A as a port number of the terminal A in a case where the NAT router has been identified as the certain type, and informs the terminal B of the guessed port number.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2013Date of Patent: August 9, 2016Assignee: Yamaha CorporationInventor: Takahiro Hara
