Abstract
A multi-source transmission system of an IM file which includes a sender IM terminal and a receiver IM terminal connected through a network to exchange data. The receiver IM terminal is configured to search for replicas of a file according to file information sent by the sender IM terminal. When at least one replica is found, the IM terminal receives the file from at least two file sources by using a multi-source mode. The at least two file sources include the sender IM terminal and a file source of the at least one replica. A conventional P2SP system is used to search for the replicas, and the file with a replica is received by using the multi-source transmission mode.
Claims16
A multi-source transmission system of an Instant Messaging (IM) file, comprising:
- a sender IM terminal;
- and
- a receiver IM terminal connected with the sender IM terminal through a network to exchange data;
- wherein the receiver IM terminal is configured to search for replicas of a file according to file information sent by the sender IM terminal, and when at least one replica is found, to receive the file from at least two file sources by using a multi-source transmission mode, wherein the at least two file sources comprise the sender IM terminal and a file source of the at least one replica.
A multi-source transmission method of an Instant Messaging (IM) file, applied between a sender IM terminal and a receiver IM terminal, comprising:
- generating, by the sender IM terminal, file information and sending the file information to the receiver IM terminal;
- searching for, by the receiver IM terminal, replicas of the file according to the file information;
- when at least one replica is found, receiving, by the receiver IM terminal, the file from at least two file sources by using a multi-source transmission mode, wherein the at least two file sources comprises the sender IM terminal and a file source of the at least one replica.
