Abstract
A device identifying method for identifying whether a candidate member device belongs to a device set or not by an identifying device. The device set comprising at least one member device. The method comprises: (a) establishing a connection between the identifying device and a first member device among the member device, to acquire a set ID and at least one identifying key from the first member device; (b) discovering the candidate member device according to the set ID; (c) generating identifying data according to the identifying key and transmitting the identifying data to the candidate member device; and (d) determining whether the candidate member device belongs to the device set or not according to a comparing result for the identifying data.
Claims21
A device identifying method, for identifying whether a candidate member device belongs to a device set or not by an identifying device, the device set comprising at least one member device, the method comprising:
- (a) establishing a connection between the identifying device and a first member device among the member device, to acquire a set ID and at least one identifying key from the first member device;
- (b) discovering the candidate member device according to the set ID;
- (c) generating identifying data according to the identifying key and transmitting the identifying data to the candidate member device;
- and
- (d) determining whether the candidate member device belongs to the device set or not according to a comparing result for the identifying data.
An identifying device can identify whether a candidate member device belongs to a device set or not, the device set comprising at least one member device, comprising:
- a processing circuit, configured to execute at least one program code to perform:
- (a) establishing a connection between the identifying device and a first member device among the member device, to acquire a set ID and at least one identifying key from the first member device;
- (b) discovering the candidate member device according to the set ID;
- (c) generating identifying data according to the identifying key and transmitting the identifying data to the candidate member device;
- and
- (d) determining whether the candidate member device belongs to the device set or not according to a comparing result for the identifying data.
A device pairing method, for determining whether an identifying device should be paired with a candidate member device or not, the method comprising:
- (a) establishing a connection between the identifying device and a first member device among at least one member device of a device set, to acquire a set ID and at least one identifying key from the first member device;
- (b) discovering the candidate member device according to the set ID;
- (c) generating identifying data according to the identifying key and transmitting the identifying data to the candidate member device;
- (d) determining whether the candidate member device belongs to the device set or not according to a comparing result for the identifying data;
- and
- (e) pairing the identifying device to the candidate member device when the candidate member device belongs to the device set and not pairing the identifying device to the candidate member device when the candidate member device does not belong to the device set.
