Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

It should be noted that the display sequence of the embodiment of the present application only represents the sequence of the embodiment, and does not represent the merits of the technical solutions provided by the embodiments.

The embodiment of the application provides a method and a device for acquiring an MAC address, and a specific implementation mode is shown in FIG. 1.

In the embodiment of the application, the first device is an iOS mobile phone end, wherein the iOS mobile phone end is a DMC device; the second device is a television terminal, wherein the television terminal is a DMR device.

At the television end, referring to fig. 2, the embodiment specifically includes the following:

step 101: starting the DMR at the television end;

step 102: the television end creates equipment description and service capability, wherein the equipment description and service capability comprises expanded capability of acquiring the MAC address;

step 103: the television end adds itself to the multicast address and waits to be discovered by control equipment such as a mobile phone and the like;

step 104: a television end creates a socket for monitoring, and waits for control equipment such as a mobile phone and the like to send a control instruction to the television end;

the television end obtains the IP address of the DMC equipment through a socket of a control instruction sent to the television end by control equipment such as a mobile phone and the like;

the television end encapsulates the ARP data packet through the IP address and requests the router for the MAC address corresponding to the IP address; after receiving the ARP request, the router searches the ARP cache of the router, and the mobile phone is also in the local area network, so the ARP cache contains the information of the equipment, and the IP address and the MAC address in the information are in one-to-one correspondence;

and the television end receives the MAC address (response of the ARP request) corresponding to the IP address retrieved by the router, transmits the MAC address into the parameters according to the parameter list of the control behavior, and responds to the control request command of the control equipment such as the mobile phone and the like.

In step 102, the specific implementation logic of the extended getMac (Mac to device) capability of the television end is as follows:

the embodiment of the application modifies a television end equipment capability description file rc.xml, wherein the rc.xml file is used for providing partial service capability of a television end (DMR) to a DMC, the service capability of the DMR end is provided for the DMC to access and control in an action form, and an action GetDMCMac is added to rc.xml, and the action form is as follows:

wherein GetDMCMac represents the current action and comprises three definitions, and the name in the definitions represents a parameter; the direction represents the transmission direction of the parameters, wherein in represents an incoming parameter (incoming at the DMC end), and out represents an outgoing parameter (incoming at the DMR end and used after being analyzed at the DMC end); relatedStateVariable indicates the type of parameter.

The action mainly uses CurrentDMCMac to represent the Mac address of the current request DMC equipment, the type is expressed by DMCMac, and the format is as follows:

after the television end DMR is started, the television end DMR is used as a service end and is always in a monitoring state, a monitoring port 38400 is used for processing a control command sent by a DMC end, when the DMC end sends a GetDMCMac command, firstly, the attribute parameters in action are packaged, wherein instanceID and channel are set to be 0, then, a socket request is created, at the moment, the DMR service end in the monitoring state can be connected with the DMC through the socket, after the connection is successful, the DMC end sends the packaged parameters to the DMR service end through the action, and after the DMR service end receives the control command, the DMR service end works as follows:

the television end DMR can acquire the IP address of the mobile phone DMC device through the socket which receives the request control command.

And the television end encapsulates the ARP data packet through the IP address and requests the router for the MAC address corresponding to the IP address.

After receiving the ARP request, the router retrieves its ARP cache because the mobile phone is also in the LAN. Therefore, the ARP cache contains the information of the equipment, and the IP address and the MAC address in the information are in one-to-one correspondence.

And the router returns the searched MAC address corresponding to the IP to the television through an ARP response.

After receiving the response of the ARP request sent by the television, the television takes out the carried MAC address, and at the moment, the television acquires the MAC address of the mobile phone.

The television DMR responds to a request of the mobile phone DMC for obtaining the MAC address of the television DMR, transmits the MAC address into the CurrentDMCMac parameter according to the parameter list of the control behavior, and responds to a control request command.

Xml is a device capability description file, which stores a series of xml nodes in the form of < action > as described above, each < action > node includes some action sub-nodes, the action has some names, directions, in/out and other parameters, different parameters represent different meanings according to the specification of the DLNA protocol, the DMR reads the file at startup, reads the information of the series of < action > and its sub-nodes, and then stores the information, the action information represents services that the device can provide, i.e. device capabilities, and the specification parameter specifies the standard of communication when another device requests to use these capabilities, when the DMC requests the device capability from the DMR, the DMR transfers the action information and the normative parameter to the DMC, and the DMC performs request and communication according to the action information and the DMR.

At the mobile phone end, referring to fig. 3, the embodiment specifically includes the following steps:

step 201: the mobile phone end starts the DMC;

step 202: the mobile phone end sends a device discovery data packet to the multicast address and judges whether DMR devices exist in the local area network or not;

step 203: when step 202 determines that there is a DMR device in the local area network, the DMC requests a description address returned by the description DMR;

step 204: the method comprises the steps that a mobile phone side obtains the service capability and the control behavior of the DMR equipment;

step 205: the mobile phone end checks whether the equipment capability description contains the capability of acquiring the MAC address;

step 206: when the mobile phone terminal determines that the acquired service capability and control behavior of the DMR equipment comprise the getMac capability, the mobile phone terminal sends a getMac instruction to the television terminal; the transmission of the control command (getMac command) depends on a TCP/IP protocol, firstly, a socket is created by a mobile phone end DMC, data connection is carried out between the socket and the socket monitored by a television end DMR, and after the connection is successful, a socket for receiving a request control command is generated by the television end;

step 207: the mobile phone end takes the MAC address of the mobile phone end from the data responded by the television end.

In step 206, the mobile phone sends a getMac command request to the television, and the specific requested data content is in the format of the command request parameter specified by the television, as follows:

<？xml version＝"1.0"encoding＝"utf-8"？>

<s:Envelope s:encodingStyle＝"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"xmlns:s＝"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">

<s:Body>

<u:GetDMCMac

xmlns:u＝"urn:schemas-upnp-org:service:RenderingControl:1">

<Channel>Master</Channel>

</u:GetDMCMac>

</s:Body>

</s:Envelope>

after receiving the request, the television receives the logic for acquiring the MAC address of the mobile phone by receiving the getMac command expanded by the television as described above, acquires the MAC address of the mobile phone, responds to the getMac command of the mobile phone, and returns the MAC address to the mobile phone according to the following data format:

if the Mac of the mobile phone is successfully acquired, the < CurrentDMCMac > node contains a string of 12-bit hexadecimal numbers, i.e. the Mac address of the mobile phone, such as 0f:98: ef:23:4f: ed.

The mobile phone acquires the MAC address from the data.
