Data transmission rate regulation system and method thereof

The present invention relates to a data transmission rate control system and method thereof. In detail, it relates to a system and method for regulating data transmission rate according to feedback information of a user terminal.

With the advancement of technology, network technology is booming. Whether it is downloading files from the Internet or receiving streaming video, people want to increase the bandwidth of the network to speed up the download.

In order to solve the problem of download speed, a multi-threaded download software called FlashGet can split the file and download it at the same time when downloading the file, making full use of the network bandwidth to speed up the file downloading. In addition, peer-to-peer communication (P2P) can also connect multiple download points at the same time, and quickly complete the target of downloading files through distributed download files. Common types of P2P software can be roughly divided into BT series such as BitComet, uTorrent, eDonkey series such as eDonkey and eMule, etc. Users can download files while using the above software to support others to download, that is, by a certain user. The more open the uploaded file, the faster the download speed of the user itself. Therefore, users who are willing to provide a larger upload bandwidth can enjoy a larger download bandwidth. In other words, the download speed will depend on the user's contribution. Change in value. This feature has made these softwares a popular tool for data exchange on the Internet.

However, these P2P softwares are likely to be maliciously placed in Trojan horse backdoor programs or virus worms while sharing data, and the vulnerability of the software itself increases the probability of hacking. Furthermore, the P2P software first needs to calculate the number of times or the number of bits of the file uploaded by the user, and the network speed of the user can be increased at the next connection, and the network speed cannot be adjusted instantly. The user still cannot immediately feel the convenience of increasing the bandwidth.

On the other hand, when users download files or play multimedia materials through the links provided on the webpages, they can only download them at a fixed speed. Some websites that provide users with stored files will be charged or The identity of the member determines the speed at which the data is downloaded. However, these speeds are fixed and it is not possible to dynamically adjust the speed of data downloads based on the user's current network usage.

On the other hand, many advertisers choose to set advertisements on the banner or sidebar of the webpage. These advertisements are further provided with hyperlinks, which can be browsed by interested web browsers, but there is no incentive to give users a little choice. It has always been one of the reasons why online advertising is not efficient. In order to improve the click-through rate, some webpage advertisements use the method of kidnapping webpages, forcing users to click on these online advertisements before they can enter the required webpages or download the materials, but it is quite inconvenient for the users, even because they suspect that they will There is a risk of web kidnapping or virus intrusion and are unwilling to click.

Therefore, how to provide a secure data transmission rate control system and method can correlate the speed at which users download data with the user's network usage contribution, thereby instantly regulating the user's download speed, which is urgently needed in the industry. One of the goals of research and development.

In order to solve various problems of the prior art, the present invention provides a data transmission rate regulation system and a method thereof, which can dynamically adjust a user's download rate.

In the data transmission rate control system of the present invention, the feedback information is a feedback parameter transmitted by the user at the user end by using the user equipment. In addition, the analysis module includes a calculation unit for calculating the feedback parameter for the control module to adjust the interval time.

The present invention provides a data transmission rate control method for real-time control of the transmission rate of a plurality of packets to be transmitted to a client, including the following steps: (1) storing a plurality of packets to be transmitted to the client in a temporary storage area, And setting a packet transmission rate for transmitting the packets; (2) transmitting the packets stored in the temporary storage area to the user end according to the packet transmission rate; (3) the user terminal sequentially receiving the packets and selecting (m) judging whether the user end returns the feedback information, if not, proceeding to step (5), if yes, proceeding to step (6); (5) continuing to transmit according to the packet Rateing the packets stored in the temporary storage area to the user end; and (6) analyzing the feedback information to instantly adjust the packet transmission rate according to the analyzed result, to store according to the adjusted packet transmission rate The packets in the temporary storage area are transmitted to the client.

In the data transmission rate control method of the present invention, the feedback information is a feedback parameter transmitted by the user at the user end by using the user equipment. The feedback parameter is the frequency of clicking on the advertisement, the frequency of filling the questionnaire, or the number of points consumed.

Compared with the prior art, according to the implementation of the present invention, the transmission rate of the plurality of packets transmitted to the user end can be instantly adjusted according to the feedback information of the user end, and the user can be encouraged to click the advertisement at any time and fill in the questionnaire to provide feedback information. The client does not have to worry about accidentally infecting the virus in order to provide feedback information, and can immediately feel the convenience of increasing the network data transmission rate.

The embodiments of the present invention are described in the following specific embodiments, and those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and functions of the present invention by the disclosure of the present disclosure, and can also be implemented by other different embodiments. Or application.

Referring to FIG. 1 , the data transmission rate control system of the present invention, that is, the local end 30 shown in the figure, is used to instantly adjust the number of transmissions to the user terminal 10 according to the feedback information transmitted by the client 10 through the network 20 . The transmission rate of the packet 40, in other words, the client 10 receives the packets 40 and selectively transmits the feedback information to the local terminal 30.

The local end 30 includes a temporary storage module 31, an analysis module 32, and a control module 33.

The temporary storage module 31 is configured to temporarily store a plurality of packets to be transmitted to the client 10. Specifically, the data transmission rate control system of the present invention can be carried in or connected to a network server, and after the client 10 connects the network server through the network 20, the network server is generated. The plurality of packets transmitted to the client 10 are temporarily stored in the temporary storage module 31, and the local terminal 30 transmits the packets 40 stored in the temporary storage module 31 to the user one by one at a preset packet transmission rate. End 10.

The analysis module 32 is configured to analyze the feedback information selectively transmitted by the user terminal 10, wherein the feedback information refers to a feedback parameter transmitted by the user through a user equipment such as a computer or a mobile phone. Specifically, the feedback parameter may be the frequency of clicking on the advertisement, the frequency of filling out the questionnaire, or the number of points consumed. The analysis module 32 analyzes the feedback parameters such as the frequency of the click-through advertisement transmitted by the client terminal 10, the frequency of filling in the questionnaire, and the number of consumption points. In a preferred embodiment, the analysis module 32 includes a calculation unit 321 for calculating the foregoing various feedback parameters to assist the analysis module 32 in generating the analysis result.

The control module 33 adjusts the packet transmission rate according to the analysis result of the analysis module 32, so that the local terminal 30 transmits the packets 40 stored in the temporary storage module 31 to the user according to the adjusted packet transmission rate. End 10. In detail, when the analysis result is that the feedback parameter is increased, the local end can increase the packet transmission rate to speed up the packet transmission rate; or when the analysis result is that the feedback parameter is reduced, the local end can lower the packet. The transmission rate is used to slow down the rate at which packets are transmitted.

In addition, the local end 30 includes a judging module (not shown) for determining whether the user terminal 10 transmits the feedback information to the local end 30. If the user terminal 10 does not transmit the feedback information to the local terminal 30, the local terminal 30 continues to transmit the packet 40 at the preset packet transmission rate; if the client terminal 10 transmits the feedback information to the local terminal 30, the local terminal 30 The packet transmission rate adjusted by the control module 33 transmits the packets 40 stored in the temporary storage module 31 to the client terminal 10 one by one.

It should be noted that the data transmission rate control system of the present invention can be carried in an ISP server to regulate the network rate of the user when the user connects to the server through the network.

For example, the client 10 connects to the local network 30 through the network 20 to enter the Internet. Assume that the client 10 enters an portal website in the Internet, and the local terminal 30 temporarily stores the packet generated by the portal. In the temporary storage module 31, the packets 40 stored in the temporary storage module 31 are transmitted to the user terminal 10 one by one at a predetermined packet transmission rate. The portal website displays advertisements or questionnaires. When the user clicks on the advertisement or fills in the questionnaire, the analysis module 32 analyzes the feedback information such as the frequency of the user's click-through advertisement or the questionnaire selection for the overall control module. According to the analysis result of the analysis module 32, the packet transmission rate is increased immediately, and then the local terminal 30 transmits the packet 40 according to the increased packet transmission rate, thereby speeding up the transmission rate of the packet 40. Alternatively, when the user purchases the item at the portal website and the number of points of consumption increases, the control module 33 can also increase the rate at which the packet 40 is transmitted to the client 10 according to the analysis result of the consumption point by the analysis module 32. On the other hand, when the user does not click on the advertisement, the questionnaire, or purchase the item, the local terminal 30 can maintain the preset packet transmission rate to transmit the packet 40, and even reduce the packet transmission rate when the network peak time is used. The saved bandwidth is fed back to the network rate of the user who has returned the feedback information.

It is understood from the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 that the data transmission rate control system of the present invention is a server-side and client-side architecture, which is quite different from the client-to-user (P2P) architecture of the prior art, and According to the invention, the server dynamically adjusts the data transmission rate of the user terminal according to the feedback information of the user terminal, which can encourage the user to click on the advertisement, fill in the questionnaire or consume, and the user does not have to worry about being infected with the virus when providing the feedback information. The convenience of increasing the data transmission rate can be felt.

The following is a flowchart of the data transmission rate control method of the present invention in conjunction with the system architecture diagram shown in FIG. 1 above.

As shown in FIG. 2, in step S201, the plurality of packets to be transmitted to the client are stored in the temporary storage area, and the packet transmission rate for transmitting the packets is set, and then stored in the temporary storage area in step S202. The packets are transmitted to the UE according to the packet transmission rate. Then it proceeds to step S203.

In step S203, the UE sequentially receives the packets and selectively transmits the feedback information to the local end, and then proceeds to step S204, where the local end determines whether the user end has feedback information. If not, the process proceeds to step S205; if yes, the process proceeds to step S206. The feedback information is a feedback parameter transmitted by the user at the user end by using the user equipment, and the feedback parameter is a frequency of clicking the advertisement, a frequency of filling the questionnaire, or a consumption point.

In step S205, the local end transmits the packets to the UE according to the packet transmission rate. That is, in the case that the user does not select an advertisement, fills in a questionnaire, or consumes, the local end does not increase the packet transmission rate of the user.

In step S206, the local end analyzes the feedback information to immediately adjust the packet transmission rate according to the analyzed result, and then transmits the packets to the UE at the adjusted packet transmission rate in step S207. That is, when the user selects an advertisement, fills in a questionnaire, or consumes, the local end performs an overall analysis on the feedback information to determine the range of the transmission rate of the packet, and dynamically adjusts the packet transmission rate of the user who provides more feedback information. Users with lower feedback information will increase the packet transmission rate.

In summary, the data transmission rate control system and method of the present invention regulates the rate of data downloading or multimedia playback of a user by directly regulating the packet transmission rate of the plurality of packets transmitted to the user end, and feedback information returned by the user. (such as the frequency of click-to-advertising, the frequency of the questionnaire or the number of points consumed, etc.) to analyze the packet transmission rate of the transmission of multiple packets. Therefore, the present invention can solve the shortcomings of the prior art that the network speed needs to be reconnected according to the user's identity or payment status, so as to dynamically adjust the data transmission rate of the user in real time, and encourage the user to click at any time. Improve your online advertising revenue by advertising, filling out a questionnaire, or spending.
