For example, after receiving the network address information fed back from the second network device, the network device A may determine that the IP address of the FTP protocol of the network device B is 102. 56. 233. 8, and the port is 21, and then connect to a FTP service of the network device B using a FTP software; the FTP service is actually provided by the remote server. The network device A may also determine that the IP address of the FTP protocol of the network device C is 202. 96. 209. 3, and the port is 21, and then connects to the FTP service of the network device C using the FTP software, the FTP service is actually provided by the network device C itself. The network device A may also detect the IP addresses and the ports of the HTTP network protocol, the x_app network protocol, and the y_app network protocol of the network device B or the network device C, and then connects to the network device B or the network device C using a software corresponding to the HTTP network protocol, or the x_app network protocol, or the y_app network protocol.

For another example, a webpage provided by the HTTP protocol of the network device B includes a content of “decoration”, and a webpage provided by the HTTP protocol of the device C does not include any content related to “decoration”, and the network device A adds a screening condition of a keyword “decoration” in the detection instruction for detecting the HTTP protocol, then, the network device B will feedback the IP address and the port number of the HTTP protocol to the device A, however, the network device C will not feedback the IP address and the port number of the HTTP protocol.
According to this embodiment, under the condition that other network devices are unknown, network address information of other network devices can be obtained by only sending an unidirectional detection instruction, not only the network address information of the local network device can be obtained, the network address information of the remote server supported by the network protocol can also be obtained, so that the network devices can be conveniently connected through network applications, and interaction among these network devices is further realized.
It should be understood that, the values of serial numbers of the steps in the aforesaid embodiments do not indicate a sequencing of execution sequences of the steps, the execution sequences of the steps should be determined by functionalities and internal logic of the steps, and shouldn't be regarded as limitation to an implementation process of the embodiment of the present application.
Referring to
For example, the optical signal receiver is an optical signal receiving device based on a photoelectric inductive film, and the photoelectric inductive film may be transparent, translucent, or opaque, and is integrated on a housing or a screen of the first network device 20. The photoelectric induction film includes a first transparent conductive layer, a photoelectric conversion layer and a second conductive layer, where the photoelectric conversion layer is arranged between the first transparent conductive layer and the second conductive layer; and a directional optical signal is detected by a current generated by emitting a light beam on the photoelectric induction film, that is, a current detection element between the first transparent conductive layer and the second conductive layer is used to detect the current, and then, a directional optical signal is detected through an analog to digital conversion (Analog to Digital Conversion, ADC) module.
Where the first transparent conductive layer may be a transparent metal film, or be a transparent metal oxide film, or be a transparent graphene film, or be a carbon nanotube film or be a transparent film made from a conductive polymer material.
The second conductive layer may be an opaque, translucent or transparent conductive layer; the second conductive layer may be a metal film, or be a metal oxide film, or be a graphene film, or be a carbon nanotube film, or be a film made from the conductive polymer material.
The photoelectric conversion layer has a capability of photoelectric conversion, for example, the photoelectric conversion layer is a film made of a semiconductor photovoltaic material.
An opaque or semi-transparent semiconductor photovoltaic material may be used as the photoelectric conversion layer in the photoelectric induction film, these opaque or semi-transparent semiconductor photovoltaic materials may be, such as the photoelectric conversion layers based on monocrystalline silicon, polysilicon, amorphous silicon, cadmium telluride, copper indium gallium selenium, copper zinc tin sulfur, copper zinc tin selenium, copper indium selenium, gallium arsenide, organic semiconductors and perovskite, and are completely opaque or partially transparent in visible light range. The photoelectric inductive film may be attached on the surface of the first network device 20, for example, the photoelectric inductive film may be attached on an outer surface of a mobile device, or a notebook computer, or a server, so that the surface of the network device becomes a receiver of the directional optical signal.
The photoelectric inductive film may also use a transparent conductive layer as the first transparent conductive layer and the second conductive layer, the transparent conductive layer may be such as a transparent conductive layer based on metal silver, or be a grid-shaped transparent conductive layer (e.g., ITO, FTO) based on metal silver wire, or be a ZnO based transparent conductive layer, or be a grid-shaped transparent conductive layer based on metal copper wire, or be a transparent conductive layer based on silver nanowire, or be a transparent conductive layer based on graphene, or be a transparent conductive layer based on graphene, or be a transparent conductive layer based on conductive polymer (3,4-ethyl enedioxythiophene)-poly (styrene sulfonic acid) (PEDOT:PSS); the photoelectric induction film can also use a transparent semiconductor photovoltaic material as the photoelectric conversion layer; for example, a photoelectric conversion layer based on aluminum phthalocyanine and carbon 60, a conductive polymer and fullerene PBDTT-DPP and PCBM, and a perovskite film is used as the photoelectric conversion layer, and the photoelectric conversion layer has high light transmittance in the range of visible light. The photoelectric inductive film has high transparency performance, can be attached on the surface of the network device, and does not significantly influence the appearance of the first network device 20, such as a mobile device, a notebook computer, a display screen of the server, and a surface of the network device that needs to be transparent.
