invention: [Technical field to which the invention belongs] The present invention relates to a client-server architecture and a method for calling available content of a server. The present invention is further related to a convention of naming reference items. [Previous technology] Multimedia content (such as images, video clips, text files, game games, audio files) can be stored on multiple servers or storages, when customers, users, or users request them To access. Different levels of security and recognition tower ~ "JL in which to protect access to these servers. Some servers are publicly available, but others need to pre-advanced / certify check before granting any access so that only authenticated users can access the stored content. Additionally, the client and the accessed server Data communication between devices can be carried out as confidential to provide a higher level of security, thereby protecting the communication from eavesdropping, unauthorized access, your access to the certificate, and data corruption. This is especially true for customers communicating with servers over wireless media. The technology used to build the server and memory varies from vendor to vendor, and in some examples, devices from different vendors are not allowed to be common. For example, the Daxiu server has its own method to refer to the storage $, and one server is the index of the storage item that cannot identify the other server. The way in which content inquiries and / or inquiries are designed also depends on the type of server. In addition, a 2 server and / or related storage will have a larger item than the other one and will not use the same file naming convention on both servers. The client cannot The items received by the two servers are compared or sorted. [Summary of the Invention] Therefore, when there are a large number of internal servers, they attempt to use private indexes and protocols in the same M). Various solutions have been proposed ... At the beginning of the operation, the problem appeared. The solution is to solve these problems separately. One kind of solution is to be on the server side of the mother's word server, which is convenient for future examination and inquiry about the distribution of this knowledge to the Internet. Sinochem Knowledge often claims that this is very expensive in the context of Manabu-style disparate environments. In addition, in a large distributed information system 1 ... + some cases, due to the large amount of available resources Aberdeen's index in the center of the 21st, and some Beixun is almost impossible. You can apply other strategies to search >, ^ /, and she can search a large number of servers. For example, a customer can only be contacted if there is a relevant source of information, — _ Guan Bei 枓 < poor source, or the media server will change the route requested by the customer with the server level mapping. One of the methods of the design inquiry of the knife-shaped gastric system is disclosed in US Patent 6,490’589, _eider published on December 3, This file is based on a distributed directory service that includes data sources, server and client. The proposed method involves generating instruction information that maps each data source schema to the schema of its corresponding index server. The mapping of each data source is only provided by its index server. After receiving a customer's question from a specific index server, the mapping information of the selected information can be used to rewrite the query, and the rewritten query is provided to the customer. Typically, this mapping information is provided to the customer along with instructions for selecting a source. The customer will then use this instruction to select the rewritten question k ×. The modified query is designed to be consistent with the outline used in the selection of the source. Magic 984 -6-200419377 The solution proposed in the above US patent document is designed for use on 8 networks, but for smaller information source networks, it will show a relatively comparative blood efficiency. This solution will Overloading information traffic in small networks "and rewriting instructions will not result in a quick query response, but in less crowded :: fast response is expected on the road. The object of one or more specific embodiments of the present invention is to provide Customers can easily communicate with multiple servers and interrogate the systems of these servers in a consistent manner. Another object of one or more specific embodiments of the present invention is to transparently classify directory items at the customer = regardless of the Etc. where the directory entry comes from. For this purpose, the system of the present invention includes a client communicating with at least one server. The server is associated with an information source that contains directory entries that the server can retrieve. The client set the configuration to send a request in order to obtain content that meets a classification standard. In response to the inquiry, the server prepared a violation of classification standards. The term server also generates an item identification item associated with the directory item from the child classification standard. The server further provides the item identification item to the client. In one application of the present invention, the information source stores a multimedia file , Such as audio bids' video clips, movie bids, text files, animation files, execution files, etc. Games or interactive files are also referred to as directory items or content items in the present invention. It should be noted that the poor source can be independent Established on the server, or it can be a complete part of the server. The user of the client wants to perform a search in these directory entries according to one or more classification criteria (depending on what the user is interested in). The user also Want to have in-line items that match searches sorted according to the one or more classification criteria. For example, users are queried by type, K59X4 name or time period,. + Service status. Customers are based on at least one point _ $ Health—request and make a request for this product. Ship it to one or more times serving server in the system. A server can talk about fasting, living, and ten. The recognition matches the eight phases, and <1 or more 4-blade necks are evaluated /. Then, the server generates an identification item g A to further the phase β of the player as a part of the response to each household. Sending 6 identities of the invention, the identification item. Individual households, real estate, and other types of food. In the invention, a wq 4 item can be sent to the server by the customer's Ai classification standard or 哕 T. j contains the first 44 other items that can be included, which can include another specific item representing this category, k,, 、 ~ β 枓. In: 'Child identification items can also include one or [Ximu J · 征 ( Matching facet F, Jia, is recording, "" Poor material. For example, 'assume this classification criteria 疋 ;; H date' "and the identification item associated with« songs may contain π-curve bismuth (year, month and actual date. 1 In this k-item implementation, the same naming convention is used when multiple questioned servers generate "internal d" related identification items. Therefore, when a customer receives multiple identification items from several servers Then, you can compare = ㈣ other items. Then the customer combines all the received identification items, and then receives them, and classifies them according to the classification criteria. One of the advantages of the present invention is its k Click to achieve transparent communication from the server to the client, so that the client can receive the query response and classify the internal public officials referenced in the server response, regardless of the actual server that sent the response In a specific embodiment, the server issues the identification item along with the identification item ", V, π Ι Ϊ", so that the user can identify the item when the displayable data is displayed. For example, 'this type of displayable material may include song names, artist names, see names, and similar items. In this specific embodiment, the customer can receive items according to individual identification items according to 859S4 200419377. Once these items are classified, a user-friendly list can be generated that contains the content " :: display information. ^ This list can be displayed to the user for selection and operation. 10. [Rewarding Method] The present invention is about a system, and the diagram illustrates its items, items, and equipment, including 100 households. With multiple servers 200, 210 and 2 ?. Figure " The Minshi-local multimedia media entertainment system illustrates the present invention, in which a user can operate multimedia content stored in servers 200 to 220 at a client's server. The client communicates with the server 200 to 220 through a network 300, which is a wired network, a typical ring network, or a combination of the two. The client 100 is, for example, a cellular phone, a digital assistant, a frequency converter associated with a private video machine, or a portable tablet PC that the user can carry in the home or office. Customer 丨 00 can have a send and receive cry, for a display 300 (such as a touch screen display), a user W (carbon user can input and select) and a processing unit (for processing Requests and presentation of content to users). These different components of customer 1 are well known in the art and will not be repeated here. ^ Servo 200 ~ 220 can be accessed through a public network such as the Internet, or a private company, such as the Home of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.1 1], for example, using a transmission control protocol (TCP) / Internet Protocol (IP). As will be explained below, the servers 200 to 220 may include internal storage "or R storage" or may be associated with a remote or local external storage. The term "server" refers to waiting and executing client requests H59X4 200419377 A combination of storage related to the type, physical device, or computer content. Servers 200 to 220 can be used for local personal computers, local public services (such as MP3 files, video plots, 1 description of customers, some of the functions, 10,, 20, 130, and 140 1) The server and the professional servo gateway that has an internal database that has no definition will be stored, which contains internal photos). Currently displayed. The display menu σ can be selected, captured, displayed or operated from the servers 200 to 220. For this purpose, the user's classification criteria are initially presented to the user, and then a subset of the entries in the spoon and for subsequent selection η17 enable < combine, classify and display for the user from menu 1 10 to 140 Specify—or more searches are performed in the servers 200 to 220 in order to categorize these guidance results. For example, the function table 110 is the first layer of the function table and provides at least four options representing the content item types. Option 112 relates to the music building case, option 114 relates to the image file, option] 16 relates to the movie, and option 118 relates to the game. In this specific embodiment, the user wishes to perform a tone-inquiry in the server 200 to 22, so option 1 12 is highlighted. After selecting option 1 12, the second layer of the menu is displayed, and menu 1 2 0 (including the classification criteria specific to the selected music file option 2) can be presented to the user. Menu 1 20 contains at least four categories. Type 丨 22, artist 丨 24, date 1 26, and name 1 28. For example, category 1 22 may contain various music styles, such as Shake / 衮, Classical, Supervisor, and so on. The user highlights the category "date" 1 2 6 ′ and can display the function table of the third layer of the function table 3 〇. Function table 1 30 contains four potential classification criteria for date categories. Standard 859S4 200419377 132 Music from the 1960s ", Standard 134" Tr 1 J from the 1970s Music from the 1980s ", and Standard 13 §" Music from the Nine Lings ". The user selects the standard 134 and can request 400 to be sent to the servers 210 to 230 upon request. However, in this specific practice ~ 1, 4 users need to further use the music type to narrow their search. The ones shown in the force €-volt 1 40 provide the first pleasure related to the ten years of merit that the user is interested in. style. In another embodiment, the user can also use the year or artist to narrow down his search, either in a place of type restriction or in a combination with a type restriction. Therefore, once the user selects one or more classification criteria, such as option-"wood", option 2 6 and option 1 3 4 "7 0 s", the customer 1 000 can request the relevant inner valley item 400 is sent to the servers 200 to 220. Request 400 can be sent automatically after the user selects one or more classification criteria, or please / 〇 can also be sent after the user of the classification criteria further inputs and confirmations. Client 100 can broadcast the request 400 to available from client! All servos accessed by 〇〇 =, or the client 100 can also send the request 400 only to the server which may store the relevant classification criteria. For example, a server known to the client 100 is not queried because it only stores negotiation images. In another specific embodiment, the client 100 may generate and send a specific request for each server 2000 according to an inquiry agreement accepted by each server. Request 4Q may include one or more knowledge standards that represent the user's current interest. For example, in the specific embodiment of FIG. 丨, the request 400 may include data indicating that the user is interested in the file from the 70s. In this specific embodiment, the classification Γ ^ 门 门 门 ”represents a 4 odd / v surface; a production date or a song release date. 859X4 200419377 Ying> Wang Si 'Answer Account 1 〇〇 can only be sent after the user enters a classification standard, please ask K 400. For example, a child user can choose an option from the first menu n 丨 2 Main 1 18 1 The client 100 can use a preset classification standard to generate the request 400: Therefore, if the user does not specify a specific way to classify the content items, then the client 1 can use T to set sorting parameters such as alphabetical order by artist name: age classification , Classified by movie director, movies and similar items by name and by mother-in-law order. Such preset parameters are sent to the servers 200 to 220, and according to the preset parameters, an individual item is generated for each job item as a response. For example, if the user selects option 1 1 6 to determine that he is only interested in the movie Q. Customer 1 00 The request can be generated according to a preset classification parameter: director, name: request for return to chastity, and the server program to 220 generates an identification item for every # seeΡ according to the name of the film director. When the customer received the farewell item from the server 200 to 200, Ke Ling 1 and Shi Yue reorganized the identification item according to the name of the 4th performance, and finally formed a list of classifications and mergers. The displayed accepted movie ° or 'when the user specifies the menu U (^ 14〇 之 -'- options') customer i 0 0 presents to the user a list of possible classification criteria on how these items should be classified: The month, name, alphabetical order, etc., instead of using a preset classification parameter. Figure 2 is a block diagram of the word server. The word server 200 receives a request containing data, and the static scale data indicates that the search is about from 70 Songs of the age. The request system is processed by the internal central processing unit, which queries the internal directory of the project stored in the database 206 of the server 2000. The project mail can include the name of the planting case and the record stored in An index of the content items in the database. Such item directories can be stored in the memory 204 system in conjunction with the central processing unit (CPU) 200419377 in conjunction with the memory 204. For example, a random access memory j can quickly ,Inquire Storage directory. The registration of the project directory can represent each content item. The registration of each content item includes registration barriers. Each field is associated with the individual characteristics of the internal items. For example, the registration of a given content item can include the following Field: content type, artist or editor name, release date, genre, title, length, rating, and similar blocks. Therefore, in response to the request 400, the CPU 202 searches the project directory stored in the memory 204 and identifies at least -The content item, I matches the classification rate provided by the song from the 1970s. Then, the CPU 202 generates an identification item 5 from the one or more classification criteria for the identified items. In this specific In the embodiment, the identification item 5 1 10 includes the song release date and cpu 2 02, and the identification item 510 is generated according to a naming convention commonly used by the user 100 and the server 200. In a specific embodiment of the present invention, request 4 The part of 〇〇 contains the one or more classification criteria and the identification item 5 1 〇 contains the data representing the one or more classification criteria. For the convenience of interpretation and comparison, both are rarely used. Write. For example, the identification item 5 1 0 may consist of a combination of words, which characters represent the characteristics of the item that matches the classification criteria. In this specific embodiment, λ 1! Item 5 1 0 contains a representative material 'its Represents the characteristics of an item that matches the classification criteria 34. Therefore, the identification item 5 1 0 contains the release date of the identified song 'where a predetermined format is used', such as a six-digit number consisting of year and month. In addition, The identification item 5 1 0 does not necessarily include data representing the classification criteria | | 2 because all the identification items sent by the servers 200 to 220 in response to the request 400 will be associated with the song, so the standard 1 1 2 preset is correct. In another specific embodiment, a common naming algorithm will generate an identification item 5o or a part of each server 200 to H5984 200419377 2 20. For example, a six-character character is generated for each feature of an item that matches a classification criterion, from which the algorithm further generates a four-character sum check. All the sum checks are then appended to a string to form the identification item 5 1 0. Response / Idea 'Servers 2 1 0 to 2 2 2 also perform similar searches in their own database and use the same common naming convention as used by Server 2 0 to generate a separate identification for each content item that matches the criteria item. In addition to including the identification item 5 1 0, the response 500 also contains data 520 representing the identified items. The identification item 5 is sent for these items, of which the data 52 can be displayed and the user can identify the song. For example, for each identification item 5 1 0 'response 500 also contains the song name and artist associated with the identification item 5 丨 〇. The server 200 then sends a response of 500 to the customer 100, and the response 500 can include a pre-qualified maximum number of identifications that each server 200 to 220 is allowed to send to the customer according to the request 400. Item 5 丨 〇. The request 4 may indicate to the client 100 the maximum number of identification items needed to receive the request from each of the servers 200 to 220. The number can be the same for all the servers 200 to 220, or it can be different for the servos 200 to 220. It is also possible to set a fixed number in the server] 00 to 220 in a preset manner. However, the server 200 can send ′ in its own response 500 to identify more songs that match the sent criteria 1 34. Therefore, once the CPU 204 recognizes all songs that match the classification criterion 134, and once the CPU- 04 generates all identification items for all individual identified songs, the CPU 204 can classify these identified songs based on their individual identification items. Then the server 2000 σ heart sends the identification of the first few songs. The server 2000 can store the remaining ~ 200419377 points of the list in the memory 208 for subsequent use. Figure 3 presents individual subsets 208, 218, and 228 of the server 2000 to 22 collection of items matching the classification criteria 134. Subset 208 contains eight songs 70 02-714 from the seventies. In FIG. 3, the subset 218 contains four songs 716 to 722, and the subset 328 contains four songs 724 to 730. Each server 2000 to 22 has been classified by its respective subset of songs 208, 218, and 228 according to the release date. The hypothetical response question 400 is only allowed to each server 2000 to 22 at the same time to the client 1 〇〇 Provides two more identification items. Therefore, the server 200 will send the identification items 510 associated with the songs 700 and 702 to the client 100, and the server 21 will send the identification items associated with the songs 716 and 718, and the server 22 Identification items associated with songs 724 and 726 will be sent, and once the server 2000 to 220 sends a response 500 to the client 'servers 200 to 220 may maintain individual subsets 208, 218 and 228 for further reference or Erase it. After the taxi receives the 4 items associated with the songs 700, 702, 716, 718, 724, and 726, the client 100 compares and categorizes the songs according to the release dates indicated in each of the identified items. Therefore, the client 100 will categorize these songs as follows: Chuan, Yi, 700, 702, 716, and 718, and the client 100 may provide a user with a list of songs or the beginning of the list. As shown above, the identification of the sen 0 is sent together with the displayable data 52q representing each song, and the customer_ displays the data 520 to the user. If the user wishes to view the next song in the list, the customer UH) can send a second inquiry to all the servers 200 to 220 indicating the points 112, 134 and will upload the song + &Ben; The release date of 欹 曲 shows a user. In the other example, the 400th parameter # "Enables the servers 200 to 220 to be convenient for each of the two ... sentences to the knife power 丨" to easily retrieve the subset 85984 -15-200419377 208, 218, 228 and send the identification of the previous song. Send the song after identifying the item_Song In another specific embodiment, the servers 200 to 22 do not classify the content items that match the received-or more classification criteria, but send all the matching content items or Identifiers associated with the subset. Customers who receive such identifications may choose some of the received identifications and ignore other unselected identifications. It should be noted that the servers 2000 to 220 do not send content items in the response 500, and content items such as these are retrieved or activated after the user selects them from the customer 100. The present invention is not limited to video and audio files and the present invention also includes other directory items such as a hyperlinked directory, such as an internal radio hyperlink, which can be selected by style, country, number of listeners, television programs or radio programs, and the like. To classify. [Brief description of the drawings] The details of the present invention have been further described above by examples and with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein: FIG. 1 is a system of the present invention; FIG. 2 is a server of the present invention; and FIG. A standard set of individual items for the three servers of the invention is selected. Elements with similar or corresponding features in the figures are denoted by the same reference numerals.
