DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

In order to clarify the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the embodiments and drawings are incorporated into the detail description for illustrating the present disclosure hereinafter. The exemplary embodiments and descriptions are used to illustrate the present disclosure, but are not as the limitation for the present disclosure.


According to an embodiment, the present disclosure provides a method for acquiring feature information, which will be given detailed descriptions with reference to the accompanying drawings.


The present disclosure can acquire the feature information of the first terminal device using the procedure of network connection, and output the acquired feature information to the users. It can be convenient for users to recognize the first terminal devices connected to the network to implement some processes related to the first terminal device such as the processes enabling or refusing the network connection of the first terminal device.


In an embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1, the method for acquiring the feature information including the steps described as below.


The step 101 is to receive a network connection request from a first terminal device.


The step 102 is to analyze the received network connection request to acquire device information of the first terminal device in response to the received network connection. The device information can include: MAC address information. The device information may further include other information that can represent the unique identification of the devices. As the device information generally cannot be recognized by users, the device information needs to b transformed into feature information that can be recognized by users.


The medium/media access control (MAC) address, or MAC address and physical address, represents an identifier of each site in the Internet. The MAC address consists of six bytes of hexadecimal or 48-bits. The first three bytes are codes (high order 24 bits) for different venders, which is also called organizationally unique identifier that is distributed by the Registration Authority (RA) of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). The last three bytes (low order 24 bits) is an adapter port assigned by each vender, called extended unique identifier (uniqueness). An address block can generate 2̂24 different addresses. MAC address is an adapter address or an adapter identifier EUI-48.


The step 103 is to determine the feature information of the first terminal device based on the acquired device information. The feature information may include one or more items of user name information, operation system information, brand information, equipment type information, manufacturer information, usage information, and application name information. The feature information may further include the other information related to the first terminal devices to allow other users to recognize the user utilizing the first terminal device. On balance, the feature information can be used as identification information to identify the first terminal device.


The step 104 is to output the determined feature information.


The method according to the embodiment of the present disclosure can be implemented using networking equipment, such as a router. In the process of the network connection between the first terminal device and the router, the router can acquire the feature information of the first terminal device and output the feature information, thereby allow other users, especially the owner of the router, to easily know which terminal device is accessing the network and to whom the terminal device belong. It is convenient for the owner of the router to decide whether to enable the network connection between other terminal device and the router.


In the step 103, there are many methods for implementing the step of determining the feature information of the first terminal device based on the acquired device information.


For instance, according to Mode Al, the steps of determining the feature information comprises: establishing a network connection with the first terminal device on the basis of the device information; determining a port which the first terminal device accesses; and searching a database storing preset nexuses between ports and feature information to determine the feature information of the first terminal device based on the port which the first terminal device accesses.


Different operation systems usually contain their featured applications. Each application generally has fixed access port. The port which the stationary applications usually use is recorded in advance in the present embodiment. Through a corresponding nexus between the operation system and the stationary applications, and a corresponding nexus between the stationary applications and the port which is often used, a corresponding nexus between the port and the operation system can be established. The operation system in a terminal device is fixed. Therefore, a terminal device contains its featured applications and will access specific port after it connects to the router. Thus, the brand information, the equipment type information, and the manufacturer information can be determined by determining the operation system installed in the terminal device using port which the terminal device accesses. For instance, the operation system X1 is developed by the company Y1, applied to the smartphone of Z1 brand; therefore, Y1 and Z1 can be determined on the basis of X1.


After searching a database storing preset nexuses between ports and feature information to determine the feature information of the first terminal device based on the port which the first terminal device accesses, final feature information for the first terminal device is distributed based on the determined feature information. In the present disclosure the final feature information may be distributed using the directly acquired feature information. It may be an ease and accuracy in user's identification compared with the directly acquired feature information.


Alternatively, according to Mode A2, the steps of determining the feature information comprises: searching a database storing preset nexuses between ports and feature information to determine the feature information of the first terminal device based on the port which the first terminal device accesses. In this embodiment the nexus can be acquired from the manufacturers in advance. After receiving the device information, the router searches the database for the feature information that matches the device information.


Alternatively, according to Mode A3, the steps of determining the feature information comprises: in response to the acquired device information, sending to the first terminal device a request for acquiring the feature information of the first terminal device; receiving from the first terminal device a response that includes the feature information of the first terminal device.


Alternatively, according to Mode A4, the steps of determining the feature information comprises: searching form a network side for the feature information on the basis of the device information. The method can be a channel for widely acquiring the feature information from network.


In the step 104, there are many methods for outputting the acquired feature information. For example, Mode B1 displays the acquired feature information. If the router contains a display, the feature information can be shown directly. Another Mode B2, for instance, is to send the acquired feature information to a second terminal device. The Mode B2 can have an increase in the transmission distance of the feature information. The feature information is transmitted to the second terminal device at a remote location.


Various methods of implementing each step in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 are described above. The embodiments below show the details of the implementation.


In an embodiment, the method is implemented by a router. As shown in FIG. 2, the method of acquiring the feature information through a port includes the steps as below.


In the step 201, the router receives the request for connecting to the network from the first terminal device. The first terminal device can be a smartphone, a tablet computer, a personal computer, a television, a set-top box, etc.


In the step 202, the router acquires the device information of the first terminal device in response to the received network connection request.


The device information can have a globally unique MAC address.


In the step 203, the router establishes a network connection with the first terminal device according to the acquired device information.


In the step 204, the router determines the port that is accessed by the first terminal device.


In the step 205, the router searches a database storing preset nexuses between ports and feature information to determine the feature information of the first terminal device based on the port which the first terminal device accesses.


In the step 206, the determined feature information is sent to the second terminal device.


After the router establishes the network connection with the first terminal device, each port can be scanned and the port which has been accessed by the first terminal device can be recorded. The router determines the feature information of the first terminal device in accordance with the port that is accessed by first terminal device and then sends the feature information to the second terminal device, wherein the router is configured to have an identification of the second terminal device in advance. In the present embodiment, the data quantity of the corresponding relation between the port and the feature information are less. It is easier for establishing the corresponding relation. The searching procedure is faster. Also, the router storage space occupied is smaller.


In an embodiment, the method is implemented by the router. As shown in the FIG. 3, the method for acquiring the feature information in accordance with the device information may include the steps described as below.


The step 301 is to receive the network connection request from the first terminal device.


The step 302 is to acquire device information of the first terminal device in response to the received network connection request.


The step 303 is to search a database storing preset nexuses between device information and feature information to determine the feature information of the first terminal device based on the acquired device information.


The step 304 is to send the determined feature information to the second terminal device.


In the embodiment, the corresponding nexus between the device information and feature information is established using various channels in advance. The feature information may include: user name information, operation system information, brand information, equipment type information, manufacturer information, usage information, and application name information. For instance, the user name information is XX-IOS6. XX is a short name of the user who holds the first terminal. The IOS6 is the operation system information. The user name information is the user name registered to the first terminal device by the user. The operation system information is for example IOS6. The brand information, for example, is Apple, Samsung, etc. The equipment type information, for example, is I9500, etc. The manufacturer information, for example, is Apple, Samsung, etc. The manufacturer information can be the same as the brand information. The usage information, for example, is the smartphone and tablet computer, etc. The usage information can be included in the equipment type information. The application name information, for example, is the name information of the stationary application corresponding to the accessed port.


In the embodiment, the data of corresponding nexuses between device information and feature information is in large quantity, more comprehensive and accurate than the nexus as shown in FIG. 2.


In another embodiment, the method is implemented by a router. As shown in FIG. 4, the method for acquiring the feature information in accordance with the communication may include steps described as below.


The step 401 is to receive the network connection request from the first terminal device.


The step 402 is to acquire device information of the first terminal device in response to the received network connection request.

The step 404 is to receive a response sent from the first terminal device. The request response includes the feature information of the first terminal device.


The step 405 is to display the acquired feature information.


In the embodiment, the router actively sends the acquiring request to the first terminal device to request for acquiring the feature information of the first information device. The response from the first terminal device carries the feature information. The method does not need to establish the corresponding nexus in advance compared with the embodiments shown in the FIG. 2 and FIG. 3.
