Terminal Networking via Port-Based Platform Type Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face inconvenience in determining whether to use IPv4 or IPv6 networking due to the need for one-by-one testing when both protocols coexist, making the networking operation cumbersome.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that determine the terminal's platform type based on port information, allowing for automatic selection of either IPv4 or IPv6 networking by searching for corresponding driver information, thereby simplifying the networking process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If users manually test each networking protocol (IPv4 and IPv6) to determine compatibility, then networking functionality can be achieved, but the operation becomes cumbersome and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal automatically performs platform type identification and networking protocol selection without requiring user intervention. The system retrieves port information, determines the platform type (IPv4 or IPv6), and configures networking automatically, making the terminal serve itself rather than requiring manual user testing and configuration
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs platform type identification and networking protocol determination in advance during the initialization phase, before actual networking operations begin. By pre-determining the appropriate protocol based on port information, the system eliminates the need for users to perform time-consuming trial-and-error testing later
2Adaptability or versatility
If both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols are supported simultaneously, then networking adaptability is improved, but the complexity of determining the correct protocol increases
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal is designed to support both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols through a universal platform type identification mechanism. By using port information as a universal identifier that maps to specific platform types, the system can handle multiple protocols through a single unified determination process, eliminating the need for separate configuration procedures for each protocol
Solution Approach 2:
The platform type acts as an intermediary between the terminal hardware and the networking protocol layer. Instead of directly managing multiple protocols, the system uses platform type identification as an intermediate step that translates port information into the appropriate protocol selection, simplifying the overall complexity

AI summary
A networking method and networking device are disclosed. The method includes determining a platform type of a terminal according to the port information of the terminal; and searching for a networking manner corresponding to the determined platform type according to a preset corresponding relationship between the platform type of the terminal and the networking manner, and connecting the terminal with a network according to the found networking manner. A corresponding device is also disclosed. The device includes a platform type determination module configured to determine a platform type of a terminal according to the port information of the terminal, and a networking module configured to search for a networking manner corresponding to the determined platform type according to a preset corresponding relationship between the platform type of the terminal and the networking manner, and connect the terminal with a network according to the found networking manner. The method and device can prevent a user from determining an available networking manner by testing networking manners one by one, and the operation of the user can be simplified.
