Abstract
An address information providing device may be provide with an obtaining unit configured to obtain address information indicating an IPv6 address, a creation unit configured to create address information for display from the address information, and a supplying unit configured to supply the address information for display to a display device. The address information for display may be information in which a prefix portion of the address information has been replaced by a particular symbol. The address information for display may be information in which a prefix portion of the address information has been omitted.
Claims10
An address information providing device comprising:
- a processor configured to perform:
- obtaining address information indicating an IPv6 address, the address information including 8 blocks, each of the 8 blocks including 4 values represented in hexadecimal notation;
- creating, from the address information, address information for display, without changing an interface portion of the address information which is constituted from latter K blocks (K being an integer equal to 1 or more and less than 8) among the 8 blocks of the address information, by specifying a prefix portion of the address information which is constituted from former (8-K) blocks among the 8 blocks of the address information, and by replacing the specified prefix portion to a particular symbol including an alphabetic letter, the alphabetic letter being not used in hexadecimal notation;
- and
- supplying the address information for display to a display device.
An address information providing device comprising:
- a processor configured to perform:
- obtaining a plurality of address information indicating a plurality of IPv6addresses of a plurality of devices, wherein each of the plurality of address information includes N blocks from a 1st block to an N-th block, the N being an integer equal to 2 or more;
- determining whether a common portion exists between the plurality of address information corresponding to the plurality of devices, the determining includes determining whether a value of an M-th block is common between the plurality of address information, the M being each of integers from 1 to the N, the common portion includes a specific block that has been determined as the value of the specific block being common between the plurality of address information, and creating, from the plurality of address information corresponding to the plurality of devices, in a case where it is determined that the common portion exists between the plurality of address information corresponding to the plurality of devices, a plurality of address information for display in which the common portion of each of the plurality of address information corresponding to the plurality of devices has been replaced by a first particular symbol including an alphabetic letter, the alphabetic letter being not used in hexadecimal notation;
- and
- supplying the plurality of address information for display to a display device.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a computer program, the computer program including instructions for an address information providing device, the instruction ordering the computer to perform:
- obtaining address information indicating an IPv6 address, the address information including 8 blocks, each of the 8 blocks including 4 values represented in hexadecimal notation;
- creating, from the address information, address information for display, without changing an interface portion of the address information which is constituted from latter K blocks (K being an integer equal to 1 or more and less than 8) among the 8 blocks of the address information, by specifying a prefix portion of the address information which is constituted from former (8-K) blocks among the 8 blocks of the address information, and by replacing the specified prefix portion to a particular symbol including an alphabetic letter, the alphabetic letter being not used in hexadecimal notation;
- and
- supplying the address information for display to a display device.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a computer program, the computer program including instructions for an address information providing device, the instruction ordering the computer to perform:
- obtaining a plurality of address information indicating a plurality of IPv6addresses of a plurality of devices, wherein each of the plurality of address information includes N blocks from a 1st block to an N-th block, the N being an integer equal to 2 or more;
- determining whether a common portion exists between the plurality of address information corresponding to the plurality of devices, the determining includes determining whether a value of an M-th block is common between the plurality of address information, the M being each of integers from 1 to the N, the common portion includes a specific block that has been determined as the value of the specific block being common between the plurality of address information, and creating, from the plurality of address information corresponding to the plurality of devices, in a case where it is determined that the common portion exists between the plurality of address information corresponding to the plurality of devices, a plurality of address information for display in which the common portion of each of the plurality of address information corresponding to the plurality of devices has been replaced by a first particular symbol including an alphabetic letter, the alphabetic letter being not used in hexadecimal notation;
- and
- supplying the plurality of address information for display to a display device.
