Abstract

This invention relates to an architecture and control method of multipoint network, multitasking cooperative computing system. The server comprises plural interconnected servers. The client also includes plural servers interconnected via a network, so as to confirm state of each server in real time with reciprocal protocols or information. States of all servers are stored in a local host as an environment resource table of a server cluster, which will be compared and updated at any time. One or more servers in the server cluster will be selected as the information transfer console. According to the environmental resource table, it allows servers to reciprocally update each other Afterwards, it forms a multipoint cooperative computing architecture that achieves the effects of real-time switching, high survival rate, load balancing, speedy parallel processing, and uninterrupted backup. The client comprises an information transfer distributor, and a server to control input/output ports or other communication hardware systems. By means of virtual interface compatible to the input/output ports is utilized to form an independent environment in the original system, so that all hardware connected with outside is independently controlled and utilized. As a result, upon being connected with a telephone the input/output ports at each client, the client would readily become an automatic switcher. Especially, it is suitable for skype or other telecommunication equipments. It becomes a data communication network system that performs real-time high-speed data transfer and monitor.
