Unsolicited broadcast packet transmission through close-by communication protocol |
摘要 |
A method is provided for generating a broadcast packet at a first device including an address; transmitting the generated broadcast packet to a second device through a first protocol. The first device may communicate with the second device via the transmitted address through a second protocol different from the first protocol. Alternatively, an apparatus is provided to receive an unsolicited broadcast packet including an address through a wireless, close-by communication protocol; extract from the broadcast packet identification information about the remote device; and store the extracted identification information in association with the remote device. Alternatively, a computer-readable medium is provided storing instructions to receive a an unsolicited broadcast packet including an address through a first protocol; extract from the broadcast packet identification information, including the address and a service available at the remote device; and communicate with the remote device via a second protocol. |

1. A method, comprising:
generating a broadcast packet at a first device including an internet protocol address of the first device; transmitting the generated broadcast packet through a first protocol, the first protocol being a wireless, close-by communication protocol, wherein the transmission of the generated broadcast packet is not solicited by a second device; and receiving, in the first device, a communication from the second device via the internet protocol address communicated in the broadcast packet through a second protocol that is different from the first protocol, wherein the second protocol comprises a set of rules that the first device and the second device use to communicate packets of data over a local area network. |
