    摘要: An information processing apparatus characterized by comprising: at least one wireless communication means capable of executing a plurality of communication modes that include a first communication mode in which the wireless communication means communicates information concerning a predetermined service to be provided to an external apparatus with the external apparatus; basic configuration means for deciding whether to assign an IP address used for a second communication mode different from the first communication mode to the wireless communication means; and communication mode setting means for setting the IP address for the wireless communication means regardless of a decision by the basic configuration means if the first communication mode is enabled.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a method comprises: receiving, by a root network device providing a DAG topology in a low power and lossy network (LLN), one or more multicast registration messages from an LLN device and identifying distinct properties of the LLN device; receiving, by the root network device, one or more multicast address group identifiers of one or more multicast streams to which the LLN device has subscribed, and associating the one or more multicast address group identifiers with the distinct properties; receiving a multicast message specifying one of the multicast address group identifiers; and generating, by the root network device, a directed multicast message having a multi-dimensional addressing data structure comprising a selected one of the distinct properties and the one multicast address group identifier, causing parent network devices in the DAG topology to selectively retransmit based on determining a child network device has the selected one distinct property.

    摘要: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which a global identification service is provided. The service includes a selection of an Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) address to an end device. The service encrypts a unique identifier of the end device with an encryption key to generate an IPv6 address. The service verifies whether the IPv6 address is an IPv6 address allocated to or owned by a service provider. When the IPv6 address is an allocated or owned IPv6 address, the IPv6 address is assigned to the end device. When the IPv6 address is not an allocated or owned IPv6 address, the service selects another encryption key until a suitable IPv6 address is generated. Subsequent to an assignment of the IPv6 address, a network uses the IPv6 address as a globally unique identifier for the end device.
