System and method for automatically verifying storage of redundant contents into communication equipments, by data comparison
First Claim
1. A method for verifying storage of content in communication equipment connected to at least one communication network, the method comprising:
- i) receiving a first request at an auxiliary equipment acting as an interface between said communication network and a second communication equipment, said first request comprising at least an identifier of said content and first data representative of said content, and requesting verification of the storage of said content in said second communication equipment, said first request being transmitted from a first communication equipmentii) transmitting a second request, comprising at least said content identifier, from the auxiliary communication equipment to said second communication equipment, to request transmission of second data representative of said content to said auxiliary communication equipment, and to trigger a timeout of a chosen duration, andiii) in the case where said auxiliary communication equipment has received said second data before expiration of said timeout, comparing said received second data in the auxiliary communication equipment said to said received first data, and in the case where the second data is identical to the corresponding first data, then transmitting a message representative of the result of said comparison to said first communication equipment and indicating that the second equipment stores the content,and in the case where the second data is not identical to the corresponding first data, then transmitting a message representative of the result of said comparison to said first communication equipment and indicating that the second equipment does not store the content.

Abstract
A method is intended for verifying storage of contents into communication equipments connected to at least one communication network. This method consists, when a first communication equipment stores a content and wants to verify that this content is still stored into a second communication equipment: i) in transmitting a first request, comprising at least an identifier of this content and first data representative of this content and requiring verification of the storage of this content into the second communication equipment, to an auxiliary communication equipment acting as an interface between the communication network and the second communication equipment, ii) in transmitting a second request, comprising at least the content identifier, to the second communication equipment, to require transmission of second data representative of the content to the auxiliary communication equipment, and in triggering a timeout having a chosen duration, and iii) if the auxiliary communication equipment has received the second data before expiration of this timeout, in comparing these received second data, possibly after having processed them, to the received first data, and in transmitting a message representative of the result of this comparison to the first communication equipment.

10. A system for verifying storage of content into communication equipment connected to at least one communication network, wherein the system comprises:
-
i) an interrogator configured to, when a first communication equipment, with which the interrogator is associated, stores a content and wants to verify that the content is still stored into a second communication equipment, generate a first request, comprising at least an identifier of said content and first data representative of said content, said first request requesting verification of the storage of said content in said second communication equipment, and intended to be transmitted to an auxiliary communication equipment acting as an interface between said communication network and said second communication equipment, and ii) a hardware processor configured to trigger a timeout having a chosen duration, when said auxiliary communication equipment, with which the processor is associated, has received said first request to generate a second request, intended to be transmitted to said second communication equipment, comprising at least said content identifier and requiring transmission of second data representative of said content to said auxiliary communication equipment, and if said auxiliary communication equipment has received said second data before expiration of said timeout, to compare said received second data, to said received first data, and to generate a message representative of the result of said comparison and intended to be transmitted to said first communication equipment indicating if the auxiliary communication equipment stores the content. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

17. A system for verifying storage of content in communication equipment connected to at least one communication network, the system comprising:
-
a hardware processor configured to trigger a timeout of a predetermined duration, when an auxiliary communication equipment connected to the at least one communication network and with which the processor is associated, has received a first request from a first communication equipment to verify content is still stored in a second communication equipment and to generate a second request; wherein if said auxiliary communication equipment has received second data in response to said second request and before expiration of said timeout, the processor compares said received second data to received first data, and generates a message representative of the result of said comparison and intended to be transmitted to the first communication equipment indicating if the second communication equipment connected to the at least one communication network stores the content. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
