Background

The general process of device identification is to obtain the characteristics of a device to identify the device based on the characteristics of the device. With device identification techniques, information and advertisements providers are able to push information and advertisements to targeted devices with a targeted goal.

The application software directly installed on the equipment can accurately identify the equipment according to the equipment identification code, and different from the application software capable of obtaining the equipment identification code, the Web application running on the equipment can not obtain the equipment identification code, and the Web application needs to indirectly realize equipment identification by obtaining other characteristics of the equipment.

Currently, a Web application can perform device identification by acquiring a public network IP address of a device, and for devices accessed to a local area network, since the public network IP addresses of the devices in the same local area network are the same, the devices in the same local area network cannot be identified only according to the public network IP addresses, the device identification also needs to be performed by acquiring information such as a browser kernel, a version, a plug-in and the like in a User Agent.

Because the User agents of different browsers installed on the same equipment contain different information, the method can identify the same equipment with a plurality of browsers into a plurality of pieces of equipment. Because the User agents of the same browser with different versions contain different information, the method can even identify the device with the browser version updated as a new device.

To sum up, the prior art can not accurately identify the device.

Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the invention, as detailed in the appended claims.

Since a Web (Web page) application generally runs in a relatively closed environment, such as a browser application, running in the closed environment makes it impossible for the Web application to directly acquire device information with high discrimination. Taking a smart phone as an example, a Web application running in a browser of the smart phone cannot acquire device information, such as an IMEI identification code, which enables the Web application to directly and accurately identify a device.

For devices in the local area network, although the Web application may obtain system version information of a browser kernel, a version, a plug-in, or even a device from a User Agent (User Agent), and request a corresponding server to obtain a public network IP (Internet Protocol) address of the device, the former may cause the Web application to identify a single device loaded with a plurality of browsers as a plurality of devices, and the latter may cause the Web application to identify a plurality of devices indirectly accessing the same public network as a single device.

In the present specification, to describe the relationship between the public network and the internal network, the public network is called a parent network, the internal network is called a child network, and accordingly, the public network IP address is called a parent network identifier, and the internal network IP address is called a child network identifier.

The environment in which the invention is implemented may be a device or an application. The device refers to a smart device, such as a smartphone, a tablet computer, a desktop computer, and the application refers to a computer program running on the smart device, such as a browser application.

Fig. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a device identification apparatus according to an example embodiment. The device identification means may be located in the apparatus 100 shown in fig. 1, and performs identification of the apparatus 100. As shown in fig. 2, the device identification apparatus includes at least the following modules: a link establishing module 210, a first obtaining module 230, and a first identifying module 250.

The link establishing module 210 establishes a real-time communication object connection link for the device.

The sub-network allocates different sub-network identifications to a plurality of devices accessing the sub-network, but the plurality of devices access the same sub-network, so that the parent network identifications of the plurality of devices are the same.

Because a plurality of devices accessing the same sub-network have different sub-network identifications, the devices can be accurately identified through the matching of the sub-network identifications and the mother network identifications. For Web applications, to obtain the sub-network identifier allocated by the sub-network to the device, an RTC peer connection (real-time communication object connection, where RTC is an abbreviation of real-time communications) link needs to be established first.

The first obtaining module 230 obtains the sub-network identifier of the device through the real-time communication object connection link.

Most devices support the RTC peer connection function, and in a specific implementation, a link is established through the RTC peer connection, and then a subnet identifier is obtained from the link object.

The first identification module 250 identifies the device based on the subnet identification and the device's parent network identification.

Specifically, after the sub-network identifier is obtained, the device is accurately identified through the parent network identifier and the sub-network identifier, and the device is identified.

For a device or application that does not support the RTC peer connection function but supports the canvas tag, as shown in fig. 3, in this exemplary embodiment, the device identification apparatus further includes the following modules: a second obtaining module 310 and a second identifying module 330.

The second obtaining module 310 obtains the first basic information of the device through the canvas tab.

Specifically, the canvas tag is a component newly added by HTML 5(Hypertext Markup Language), and in a specific implementation, the first basic information acquired by the canvas tag includes, but is not limited to, GPU information of the device.

The GPU information of a device depends only on the GPU configuration of the device, and is independent of the version, provider, of the application (e.g., browser application) on which the Web application is running. Specifically, a canvas example of the webpage is obtained by a canvas tag, and after GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) information of the device is obtained from the canvas example, the device is identified by the GPU information.

The second identification module 330 identifies the device according to the first basic information and the mother network identifier of the device.

Fig. 4 is a block diagram illustrating a device recognition apparatus according to another exemplary embodiment. For a device or application that does not support the RTC peer connection function and does not support the canvas tag, as shown in fig. 4, in this exemplary embodiment, the device identification apparatus further includes the following modules: a third obtaining module 410 and a third identifying module 430.

And a third obtaining module 410, which obtains the second basic information of the device from the user agent.

In a specific implementation, for a Web application running in a browser, a global User Agent object is acquired in a code of a webpage, and identification of equipment is performed according to information irrelevant to the browser version and a provider in the object, namely second basic information, such as an equipment model and a system version number, so that identification errors caused by changes of the browser version and the provider are avoided.

For the device or the application which does not support the RTC peer connection function and the canvas label, besides obtaining the second basic information from the User Agent, the width, the height and other information of the screen of the device can be obtained from the window object to identify the device.

The third identifying module 430 identifies the device according to the second basic information and the mother network identifier of the device.

For the equipment or the application supporting the RTC peer connection function, the Web application running in the equipment or the application can realize the accurate identification of the equipment through the invention, and for the equipment or the application not supporting the RTC peer connection function, the Web application running in the equipment or the application can basically realize the accurate identification of the equipment through the invention, thereby solving the technical problem that the Web application cannot accurately identify the equipment aiming at the equipment in the local area network.
