ABSTRACT:
A method for allocating addresses to intelligent information appliances and their subordinate devices is provided. The network side of a household network sends down-link broadcast message, triggering intelligent information appliances newly connected to the network to return device connection information containing its MAC address to the network side. Alternatively, a newly connected information appliance sends broadcast message carrying device connection information to the network side. After the host at the network side receives the device connection information, the host allocates and stores an unused data bus address for the intelligent information appliance. The network side implements the allocation of data bus addresses to the intelligent information appliances by establishing corresponding relation between intelligent information appliances' MAC addresses and respective data bus addresses, without the need of using other higher layer protocols. The method allows simplifying the protocol stacks, turning the intelligent information appliance in the household network into an external device of the host in the household network, which is invisible to external networks, thus greatly improving safety of the household network, reducing complexity of the appliance, and reducing cost of the appliance.
