Abstract
Provided are a method of identifying devices connected to wireless local area network (WLAN) home network and a recording medium on which a data structure having an address system that enables devices in a WLAN home network to be distinguished from one another is recorded. The method involves identifying the devices using device ID information recorded on part of an interface ID area other than a company ID area and a serial number area, the interface ID area having an EUI-64 ID format according to an IPv6 address system.
Claims9
A method of identifying devices in a wireless local area network (WLAN) home network environment, the method comprising:
- identifying the devices using device ID information recorded on part of an interface ID area other than a company ID area and a serial number area, the interface ID area having an EUI-64 ID format according to an IPv6 address system.
A method of identifying devices in a WLAN home network environment, the method comprising:
- identifying the devices using device ID information recorded on part of a company ID area of an interface ID area, which is not in use, other than a bit area provided for specific purposes, the interface ID area having an EUI-64 format according to an IPv6 address system.
A computer-readable recording medium on which a data structure having an address system for identifying devices from one another in a WLAN home network, the data structure having an IPv6 address system comprising a network ID area for identifying a network to which a device belongs and an interface ID area for identifying the address of the device in the identified network,
- wherein the interface ID area comprises:
- a company ID area for identifying the manufacturer of the device;
- a serial number area for identifying a serial number of the device;
- and
- a device ID area interposed between the company ID area and the serial number area for identifying the type of the device.
A computer-readable recording medium on which a data structure having an address system for identifying devices from one another in a WLAN home network, the data structure having an IPv6 address system comprising a network ID area for identifying a network to which a device belongs and an interface ID area for identifying the address of the device in the identified network,
- wherein the interface ID area comprises:
- a device ID area for identifying the type of the device;
- a company ID area for identifying the manufacturer of the device;
- and
- a serial number area for identifying a serial number of the device.
