Abstract
Provided is a distributed control method of data by a client connected to a first server and a network and a distributed control apparatus. The distributed control method includes: registering at least one piece of characteristic information of the client in the first server; generating a uniform resource locator (URL) address in a URL format based on the registered at least one piece of characteristic information; and acquiring data stored on the second server, wherein the acquired data is mirrored from data stored on the first server by using the generated URL address.
Claims21
A distributed control method controlling a client connected to a first server through a network, the distributed control method comprising:
- registering at least one piece of characteristic information of the client in the first server;
- generating a uniform resource locator (URL) address in a URL format based on the registered at least one piece of characteristic information;
- and
- acquiring data from at least one second server storing the data, wherein the acquired data is mirrored from data stored on the first server and is acquired by using the generated URL address.
A distributed control apparatus of a client connected to a first server through a network, the distributed control apparatus comprising:
- a characteristic information registering unit which registers at least one piece of characteristic information of the client in the first server;
- an address generating unit which generates a uniform resource locator (URL) address in a URL format, based on the registered at least one piece of characteristic information;
- and
- a data receiving unit which acquires data from at least one second server storing the data, wherein the acquired data is mirrored from data stored on the first sever by using the generated URL address.
A distributed control system comprising:
- a first server which registers at least one piece of characteristic information of a client, and controls the client;
- at least one second server which stores static data that is distributed and cached from the first server;
- and
- the client which acquires the static data from the at least one second server by using a uniform resource locator (URL) address in a URL format based on the at least one piece of characteristic information.
A computer readable recording medium having recorded thereon instructions for executing a method of updating a device, the method comprising:
- registering a device with a server by generating a URL address for the device based on characteristic information of the device;
- acquiring data from a distributed cache using the generated URL address;
- and
- updating at least one of firmware and software in the device using the acquired data,
- wherein the data is published in the distributed cache from a server.
