Methods and systems for accessing network-accessible devices

摘要

Methods and systems for accessing network-accessible devices (400) are described. In various embodiments, individual network-accessible devices (400) are configured to wirelessly transmit their network address and any other data that can be used to access the device. Wirelessly-enabled client devices (300) that are unaware of the various devices can receive the transmitted network addresses and thus become knowledgeable of these devices. The network addresses can then permit the wirelessly-enabled client devices (300) to access and use the network-accessible devices (400). Access to the network-accessible devices can take place via any suitable mechanism such as via a wireless network and/or Internet connection.
