- Abstract: The patent describes a searching system, method, and P2P devices for a P2P device community. It involves an online server connected to a content management server and the P2P device community. The content management server houses a search engine and an index database. Each P2P device in the community has indexed data and weighted data. The index database stores the indexed data of each P2P device, and the search engine uses this to generate a search result. This result is then used to generate a weighted and sorted search result based on the weighted data, aiming to efficiently search for important file data within the P2P device community.
Plain-language overview of each independent claim:
Independent Claim 1 (Searching System): This claim describes a system for searching in a P2P community. It includes:
- A P2P device community with at least one P2P device, where each P2P device contains file data, and each file data has content data and indexed data.
- An online server connected to the P2P device community. This server has a "topology data table" that records the "link data" (connection information) between the P2P devices.
- A content management server connected to both the P2P device community and the online server. This server includes a search engine, an index database, and a user's device management unit. The index database stores the indexed data from the P2P devices. The user's device management unit receives search requests from user devices. The search engine searches the index database to produce a search result, which is then sent back to the user's device. Importantly, the user's device uses this search result and the online server's topology data table to get the link data of the P2P device.
Independent Claim 11 (Searching Method): This claim outlines a method for searching in a P2P device community using a system like the one in Claim 1. The steps include:
- Recording the link data of each P2P device in a topology data table on the online server. Each P2P device has file data, including content data and indexed data.
- Recording and storing the indexed data from each P2P device in an index database on the content management server.
- Receiving a search request from a user's device at the content management server and generating a search result by querying the index database.
- Returning this search result to the user's device.
- The user's device then uses this search result and the topology data table from the online server to obtain the link data of the P2P device within the community.

- Abstract: The patent describes a searching system, method, and P2P devices for a P2P device community. An online server connects to a content management server and the P2P device community. The content management server includes a search engine and an index database. Each P2P device of the P2P device community is provided with indexed data and weighted data. The index database records the indexed data associated with each of the P2P devices, and the search engine searches the index database to generate a search result and then generates a weighted and sorted search result based on the weighted data, thereby achieving the object of searching important file data in the P2P device community.
Plain-language overview of each independent claim:
Independent Claim 1 (Searching System): This claim describes a system designed for receiving a search request from at least one user's device within a P2P community. The system comprises:
- One or more P2P device communities, each containing at least one P2P device. Each P2P device holds at least one file data, which itself includes content data and indexed data.
- One or more online servers, each connected to a P2P device community. Each online server maintains a "topology data table" that records "link data" (connection information) between the P2P devices within its community.
- One or more content management servers, each connected to both a P2P device community and an online server. Each content management server includes a search engine, an index database, and a user's device management unit. The index database stores the indexed data from each P2P device. The user's device management unit receives search requests. The search engine processes these requests by searching the index database to generate a search result, which is then returned to the user's device. The user's device then utilizes this search result and the topology data table from the online server to obtain the link data for specific P2P devices within the P2P device community.
Independent Claim 11 (Searching Method): This claim details a method for searching within a P2P device community using a system that includes at least one P2P device, an online server, and a content management server. The method involves the following steps:
- Recording the "link data" of each P2P device to create a "topology data table," and storing this table in the online server. In this context, each P2P device contains file data, comprising content data and indexed data.
- Recording the indexed data of each P2P device and storing it in an index database located in the content management server.
- The content management server receives a search request from a user's device and generates a search result by searching its index database based on that request.
- The search result is then returned to the user's device.
- Finally, the user's device obtains the link data of the relevant P2P device(s) within the P2P device community by using the returned search result and the topology data table from the online server.
