System and method for routing electronic content to a recipient device

摘要

A system and method for routing electronic content to a recipient device comprising a plurality of network nodes, each network node adapted to receive and forward electronic content and an activity profile server adapted to be in data communication with each network node, the activity profile server adapted to monitor the activity level of each network node and inform each network node on the congestion level of an adjacent network node; wherein each network node is adapted, on receiving the information on congestion level to store electronic content if the adjacent network node is congested and forward the electronic content to the adjacent network node if the adjacent network node is not congested is disclosed.

1. A system for routing electronic content to a recipient device comprising:
a plurality of network nodes, each network node adapted to receive and forward electronic content and to the recipient device or another network node to relay the electronic content toward the recipient device and an activity profile server adapted to be in data communication with each network node, the activity profile server adapted to monitor the activity level of each network node and inform each network node on the congestion level of an adjacent network node; the activity profile server further adapted to monitor the activity profile of the recipient device so as to determine a suitable delivery time of the electronic content from the network node to the recipient device; and each network node is further adapted, on receiving the information on congestion level of the adjacent network node or the activity profile of the recipient device, to forward electronic content if the adjacent network node is not congested or if it is a suitable delivery, time for the recipient device, and store the electronic content to the adjacent network node if otherwise; wherein electronic content is delivered to the recipient device upon detection that the recipient stays for a prolonged period of time in a network node with relatively lower utilization.
