Description
Summary:It is quickly becoming more common that users interact not just with a single computing device, but rather with multiple, heterogeneous, computing devices such as desktop computers, laptops, smart phones, smart televisions, tablet PCs, and video game consoles. This capability requires a new computing platform, called the N-screen platform differing in several ways from the traditional computing platform. Under the N-screen platform, users are likely to switch their workplace from one device to another. The attendant requirement for such a capability is providing file synchronization among the multiple devices. However, the current systems have limitation to provide this functionality due to lack of standard protocol. In this paper, we explore the development of a new file transfer protocol to support file synchronization for the N-screen network. Based upon the considered requirements and defined protocol, we expect to efficiently support a practical, virtual file synchronization system.
