Method of targeted discovery of devices in a network

摘要

A targeted discovery between a first device and a second device in a network, in particular, a WHDI network, provides discovery for an identified device or a group of identified devices. The targeted discovery determines an identifier for a second device or a group of devices that the second device belongs to, and sends a device discovery message to the second device using the identifier for the second device when the second device is configured to respond to the device discovery message if the device discovery message includes the identifier for the second device. The first device receives a response to the device discovery message from the second device and can start further communication with the second device.

1. A method of targeted discovery in a network, the method comprising:
determining an identifier for a second device at a first device; sending a device discovery message to the second device using the identifier for the second device, wherein the second device is configured to verify if the device discovery message includes a correct identifier of the second device, further wherein the second device is configured to respond to the device discovery message when the device discovery message includes the correct identifier for the second device; receiving a response to the device discovery message from the second device; and transmitting, by the first device, a registration key to the second device in response to receiving the response.
