In the present invention, the reverse auction refers to a method of purchasing a product that is offered at the lowest price among a plurality of providers when a user registers a desired product (for example, multimedia content), unlike a general auction method.

1 is a block diagram of an inter-person reverse auction service system for mobile content using P2P according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the multimedia content P2P (hereinafter referred to as MCP2P) system 100 includes a first terminal peer 300 such as a mobile phone connected to the mobile communication network 200 and an internet network 400. The second terminal peer (Simple Peer) 500, such as a PC connected through the () is configured to interlock with each other.

Detailed configuration of the MCP2P system 100 includes a Rendezvous Peer (110) to inform its location and to find the location of other peers or resources; A first terminal peer such as a mobile phone having a limited resource or allowing the second terminal peer 500 to communicate with peers in a network separated by a network address translation (NAT) device or a firewall. A relay / proxy peer 120 that provides a mechanism for maintaining JXTA compatibility of the 300; A virtual peer 130 for supporting a function of the first terminal peer 300; A storage manager 140 for storing and managing mobile content; An indexer 150 for supporting retrieval of mobile content; A monitor 160 for monitoring the flow of network packets; And a directory server 170 for storing user related information and providing a service for authentication. In addition, the rendezvous peer 110 is connected to a digital rights management (DRM) interface 180 for digital rights management to prevent illegal distribution of various contents.

The mobile phone proposed in the present invention configured as described above operates as the first terminal peer 300 and accesses the limited resources of the terminal using the relay / proxy peer 120.

In addition, the second terminal peer 500 such as a PC receives a service through the rendezvous peer 110 using the Internet network 400, and the relay / proxy peer 120 supports the first terminal peer 300. It supports the role and the access of the second terminal peers 500 hidden by the private network.

The rendezvous peer 110 caches meta data of connected edge peers or propagates a message to another rendezvous in proximity.

In addition, in order to support homeostasis and search of the second terminal peers 500, the virtual peers 130 are placed in the relay / proxy peer 120 and interworked with the rendezvous peer 110.

Next, each component will be described in more detail as follows.

The first and second terminal peers 300 and 500 in the present invention transmit a peer ID to a device (sensor, phone, PDA, PC, server, supercomputer, etc.) on a network implemented by a P2P protocol. Distinguish Each peer operates independently and asynchronously with each other and can join / leave a P2P network at any time. In addition, each peer can provide its own resources (CPU, storage, routing) and services to other peers, and one or more other peers can communicate with the peer providing the service as a medium for message routing.

The rendezvous peer 110 informs its location in the JXTA network and enables the location of other peers or resources. In addition, it creates an MCP2P group and manages connected peers. Responds to the queries of each peer and records advertisement information in a database.

The relay / proxy peer 120 provides JXTA compatibility on behalf of the first terminal peer 300 and ensures durability. The query of the first terminal peers 300 is analyzed and transmitted to the rendezvous peer 110, the virtual peer 130, or the second terminal peer 500 using a resolver message, and the rendezvous peer 110. Alternatively, the response message is received from the virtual peer 130 or the second terminal peer 500, and the result message is transmitted to the first terminal peer 300.

In this case, when the first terminal peer 300 is not logged in, the first terminal peer 300 maintains and responds to data for the content mart and content reverse auction on behalf of the first terminal peer 300. The first terminal peers 300 currently connected to the relay / proxy peer 120 or maintaining content are managed.

The virtual peer 130 provides JXTA compatibility on behalf of the first terminal peer 300 and ensures continuity.

The storage manager 140 uploads mobile content from the first terminal peer 300 to the virtual peer 130 for content mart and reverse content auction. At this time, the content is managed through a database (DB) in order to manage the uploaded content. Basic information such as file name, file size, and location of the saved file is included as well as the directory where contents are stored.

The indexer 150 manages a mobile content list, a sale and a purchase list, and the directory server 170 stores a user related information of a user directory server and provides a service for authentication.
