Abstract
A relay system for distributing load on a data sending device in data communications among a plurality of devices includes a plurality of devices and a relay device to relay data communications among the devices. The devices each include a transmission unit that sends data, and a reception unit that receives data. The relay device includes a storage unit that stores information identifying relayed data with information identifying the recipient of the data, and a determination unit that, in response to a data acquisition request for predetermined data issued by a predetermined device, determines a device to send the determined data based on information in the storage unit.
Claims5
A relay device for relaying data communications among a plurality of devices, the relay device comprising:
- a storage unit that stores information identifying relayed data with information identifying a recipient of the data;
- and
- a determination unit that, in response to a data acquisition request for predetermined data issued by a predetermined device among the plurality of devices, determines a data sending device of the predetermined data based on information in the storage unit.
A relay system comprising:
- a plurality of devices;
- and
- a relay device to relay data communications among the plurality of devices, wherein
- the plurality of devices each includes:
- a transmission unit that sends data;
- and
- a reception unit that receives data, and wherein
- the relay device includes:
- a storage unit that stores information identifying relayed data with information identifying a recipient of the data;
- and
- a determination unit that, in response to a data acquisition request for predetermined data issued by a predetermined device among the plurality of devices, determines a data sending device of the predetermined data from the plurality of device based on information in the storage unit.
A relay method for relaying data communications among a plurality of devices, comprising:
- storing information identifying relayed data with information identifying a recipient of the data in a storage unit;
- and
- determining, in response to a data acquisition request for predetermined data issued by a predetermined device among the plurality of devices, a sender for the predetermined data based on information in the storage unit.
A computer-readable recording medium having stored therein a program for causing a relay device to execute a process to relay data communications among a plurality of devices, the process comprising:
- storing information identifying relayed data with information identifying a recipient of the data in a storage unit;
- and
- determining, in response to a data acquisition request for predetermined data issued by a predetermined device among the plurality of devices, a sender for the predetermined data based on information in the storage unit.
