Abstract
A method and system for providing virtual interface by using star network are provided in which a multi-link for continuously connecting peers up to a maximum number of connectable peers N after scanning all peers around a dongle is formed, and when a peer exceeding the maximum number of connectable peers N among the all peers exists, a extending connection is formed such that a virtual multi-link with a new peer is formed using the dongle and an already connected peer.
Claims11
A system for providing virtual interface by using star network, the system comprising:
- a user terminal processing messages and data;
- a dongle connected to the user terminal, generating scan information that scans all peers located nearby, transmitting an advertising report to the user terminal as a discovery request after generating the scan information as the advertising report, and connected to any one of the all peers based on the advertising report under the control of the user terminal;
- and
- a peer connecting to the dongle,
- wherein the dongle forms a multi-link for continuously connecting any one of the all peers up to a maximum number of connectable peers N, and forms a virtual multi-link with a new peer using a peer already connected to the dongle when a peer exceeding the maximum number of connectable peers N among the all peers exists;
- wherein the user terminal receives the advertising report including ID, address, received signal strength indication (RSSI), name information for all peers scanned from the dongle,
- checks whether the maximum number of connectable peers N for the dongle is less than a total link count (N<total link count), and
- repeats a loop continuously multi-linking any one of the all peers up to the maximum number of connectable peers N when the maximum number of connectable peers N is confirmed to be less than the total link count;
- wherein the user terminal, when the maximum number of connectable peers N is confirmed as more than the total link count (N>=total link count), reads data from some or all peers connected up to the maximum number of connectable peers N by using the dongle, or transmits the message to some or all peers connected up to the maximum number of connectable peers N;
- wherein the dongle starts to operate as the multi-link when there is a push input on a button provided on a body, and scans the all peers located nearby, collects ID, address, received signal strength indication (RSSI), name information for the all peers, and generates the advertising report;
- wherein the dongle forms the multi-link from a first peer to a N-th peer corresponding to the maximum number of connectable peers N using a star network when operating as the multi-link;
- wherein the dongle forms the multi-link with a primary depth by connecting the first peer to the N-th peer among the all peers by the maximum number of connectable peers N;
- and
- wherein the dongle forms a virtual multi-link with remaining peer that is not yet connected using the peer already connected to the dongle when the peer exceeding the maximum number of connectable peers N among the all peers exists.
