Abstract

A method for transmitting data in a peer to peer manner includes the steps of: storing an internet identification information of a master device into a client device; establishing a connection between the client device and the master device via the internet identification information; judging the master device has the data; if yes, then the data are transmitted to the client device in the peer to peer manner; if no, then taking the next step; stopping the connection between the master device and the client device.

Claims

1. A method for transmitting data in a peer-to-peer manner, which method is applied to data transmission between a master device and a client device, comprising the steps of:

storing an internet identification information of the master device into the client device;

the client device establishing, via the internet identification information, a connection with the master device;

judging if there are data in the master device;

sending the data to the client device in the peer to peer manner, if there are the data;

taking next step, if there are not the data; and

stopping the connection between the master device and the client device.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the master device is connected to an internet e-mail server to receive the data.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the internet identification information is a host name of the master device.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the internet identification information is a virtual private network address of the master device.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the internet identification information is a public network internet protocol address of the master device.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the internet identification information is a domain name of the master device.

7. The method according to claim 1, wherein the client device establishes a connection with the master device via a GPRS.

8. The method according to claim 1, wherein the client device establishes a connection with the master device via a Wi-Fi.

9. The method according to claim 1, wherein the internet identification information of the master device is transmitted to the client device via a signal transmission cable.

10. The method according to claim 1, wherein the internet identification information of the master device is stored into the client device via a wireless manner.

11. The method according to claim 1, wherein the master device filters the data according to standards set up a user, and stores the filtered data into a database.

12. The method according to claim 1, wherein before the client device transmits the data to the client device, the data format is converted to be proceeded by the client device.

13. The method according to claim 1, wherein the master device is a computer.

14. The method according to claim 1, wherein the client device is a hand-held communication device.

15. The method according to claim 1, wherein the data are e-mails.

16. The method according to claim 1, wherein the internet identification information of the master device is stored into a media server, and the client device is connected to the media server to acquire the internet identification information of the master device, and stores the internet identification information into the client device.
