the end user with the completion of the release, receipt, conversion and display output of the
information. The payment and key upgrade device of the information receiving terminal on the user
side and the billing and key distribution device on the operator side will complement to complete
the user fee payment and system billing functions of billable information services. This
information release system has the advantage of low cost, high capacity, wide service coverage and
simple billing mode.
2. Patent Name: A system and method to conduct integrated measurement and analysis of delay and
packet loss
| Patent Number: | ZL200510130143.5 | |
| Patent Owner: | SHI Wenyong |
Description of the Patented Technology:
A system and method to conduct integrated measurement and analysis of delay and packet loss, the
system of which consists of the measuring devices on each side of the path of the network under
measurement (including the transceiver unit, analysis unit and communication control unit) and
feedback devices (including feedback unit and communication control unit). The transceiver unit
and the feedback unit will achieve the interaction of the testing flows at each side of the network
under measurement, and complete the test data by each group during the testing; the communication
control units at each end is connected to each other so as to control and achieve interaction of
the tested data. Test flow is a string of test packet pair each of which packet pair consists of
two back-to-back small-length group. After the loss of a group, another group will be used to
represent delay of the lost packet so as to measure the delay and pack loss of the test flows. The
unit of analysis will conduct associate analysis of the data obtained from these two measurements,
assess the overall operation of the network, arrive at accurate judgment and distinct reasons for
packet loss and congestion, present the final analysis results.
3. Patent Name: A method and system to measure bottleneck bandwidth and excess bandwidth
| Patent Number: | ZL200510123695.3 | |
| Patent Owner: | SHI Wenyong |
Description of the Patented Technology:
5
A method and system to measure bottleneck bandwidth and excess bandwidth in the token bucket
rate-limiting network path. Under this method, the transmitter and receiver establishes a
connection for data exchange, firstly testing to detect and determine whether the linkage is the
token bucket rate-limiting network path and, if so, calculate the token bucket parameters, the
bottleneck bandwidth and excess bandwidth or, if not, use traditional methods to measure and
calculate the bottleneck link bandwidth and the remaining bandwidth. Regardless of whether the
linkage uses the token bucket, this invention can achieve accurate, precise and efficient
measurement of the bottleneck bandwidth and the remaining bandwidth. It can also measure the
critical parameters of the linkage of token bucket rate-limiting (including its barrel size, packet
queue length, and the token generation time interval), and these parameters can help the operators
and users to better understanding and maintaining of the networks, which applications have good
prospects.
4. Patent Name: A method and system to recommend mobile phone content among users
| Patent Number: | 200810227980.3 | |
| Patent Owner: | NI Xianle (ID No. 610113197712132136; residence: ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇) |
Description of the Patented Technology:
This invention relates to a method and system to recommend mobile phone content among users. Under
this method, recommended information will be extracted and transmitted as parameter to the
recommended module, then the recommended module will integrate the recommended information with
phone numbers of recommended users and the reasons of recommendation, and then send integrated
information to the mobile phone of the recommended users. Upon receipt of the recommended
information on the mobiles, the download monitoring module running within the users’ mobile phones
will make analysis of the information and, based on the analysis results, pop up a download
request. Upon consent of the request from the user, it will obtain access to the corresponding
content and users will download the contents of the specified URL from the server. This invention
will test compatibility at servers, add shortcut to mobile terminals, and then send a message to
the recommended users. Upon receipt of the recommended information, the mobile phone of the
recommended user will automatically download corresponding information from the server, and
therefore solve the difficulty regarding content sharing among users.
