Abstract

A media exchange system for facilitating the exchange of media files over a distributed electronic network, such as the Internet, comprises a load balancer for directing incoming requests from user computers to any of multiple media exchange servers. The media exchange servers connect to a concurrent access media database storing names and keyword information for media files of visiting users. The visiting users can simultaneously browse or conduct keyword searches of the media database. The search results are returned to the requesting user in the form of a list of media files and associated user addresses where such media files are located. Client-side software at the user computer then oversees a file transfer in a peer-to-peer transaction over the distributed electronic network, bypassing the media exchange web site. Each media exchange server may include a new record buffer for temporarily storing new records to be added to the media database when a new user logs on, and a record inserter which periodically adds the new records to the media database in a single database transaction. An exchange router may be used to facilitate media file transfers between members connected to different media exchange servers. Alternatively, a hierarchical tree architecture may include leaf node servers each having a local media database of a subset of all the logged on members for speeding up response time, and upper tier media exchange servers having more complete information that may be searched if necessary.
