Abstract

The present disclosure relates to methods and devices for accessing a service device in a local area network. One example method includes sending a first request message to a first router, receiving a first feedback message sent by the first router, and accessing at least one service device by using a communication address of an electronic device in a second network. The first request message is used to request the communication address of the electronic device in the second network. The first feedback message is used to indicate the communication address of the electronic device in the second network.

Claims (55)

1 . A method for accessing a service device in a local area network, applied to an electronic device, wherein the electronic device is located in a first network, there is a peer to leer (P2P) channel between the electronic device and a first router located in a second network, the P2P channel is used for communication between the electronic device and the first router, at least one service device is cascaded to the first router, and the method comprises:

sending a first request message to the first router, wherein the first request message is used to request a communication address of the electronic device in the second network;

receiving a first feedback message sent by the first router, wherein the first feedback message is used to indicate the communication address of the electronic device in the second network; and

accessing the at least one service device by using the communication address of the electronic device in the second network.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the accessing the at least one service device by using the communication address of the electronic device in the second network comprises:

generating a first packet based on the communication address of the electronic device in the second network, wherein a first payload part of the first packet comprises a second packet, a source address of the second packet is the communication address of the electronic device in the second network, and a destination address of the second packet is a communication address of the at least one service device; and

sending the first packet to the first router.

3 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein a source address of the first packet is a communication address of the electronic device in the first network, and a destination address of the first packet is a communication address of the first router in the second network.

4 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein a second payload part of the second packet comprises service request data, the service request data is used to request a service from the at least one service device, and the method further comprises:

obtaining the service request data;

generating the second packet based on the service request data; and

encapsulating the second packet to generate the first packet.

5 . The method according to claim 4 , wherein when the electronic device is a terminal used for interacting with a user, the obtaining the service request data comprises:

receiving a service request operation input by the user; and

obtaining the service request data based on the service request operation.

6 . The method according to claim 4 , wherein when the electronic device is a second router, the obtaining the service request data specifically comprises:

receiving the service request data sent by a terminal, wherein the terminal is used for interacting with a user.

7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

receiving a communication address that is of the service device in the second network and that is input by a user.

8 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first network and the second network are local area networks, and the first network is different from the second network.

9 . A method for accessing a service device in a local area network, applied to a first router, wherein the first router is located in a second network, at least one service device is cascaded to the first router, there is a peer to peer (P2P) channel between the first router and an electronic device located in a first network, the P2P channel is used for communication between the first router and the electronic device, and the method comprises:

receiving a first request message sent by the electronic device, wherein the first request message is used to request a communication address of the electronic device in the second network;

assigning the communication address in the second network to the electronic device based on the first request message; and

sending a first feedback message to the electronic device, wherein the first feedback message is used to indicate the communication address of the electronic device in the second network.

10 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein the method further comprises:

receiving a first packet sent by the electronic device, wherein a first payload part of the first packet comprises a second packet, a source address of the second packet is the communication address of the electronic device in the second network, and a destination address of the second packet is a communication address of the at least one service device;

decapsulating the first packet to obtain the second packet; and

sending the second packet to the at least one service device based on the destination address of the second packet.

11 . The method according to claim 10 , wherein a source address of the first packet is a communication address of the electronic device in the first network, and a destination address of the first packet is a communication address of the first router in the second network.

12 . The method according to claim 10 , wherein a second payload part of the second packet comprises service request data, and the service request data is used to request a service from the at least one service device.

13 . The method according to claim 10 , wherein the first network and the second network are local area networks, and the first network is different from the second network.

14 . An electronic device for accessing a service device in a local area network, comprising:

one or more processors;

one or more memories;

one or more communication interfaces; and

one or more computer programs, wherein the one or more computer programs are stored in the one or more memories, and when the one or more computer programs are executed by the one or more processors, the electronic device is enabled to implement operations comprising:

sending a first request message to a first router, wherein the first request message is used to request a communication address of the electronic device in a second network;

receiving a first feedback message sent by the first router, wherein the first feedback message is used to indicate the communication address of the electronic device in the second network; and

accessing at least one service device by using the communication address of the electronic device in the second network.

15 .- 17 . (canceled)

18 . The electronic device according to claim 14 , wherein the accessing at least one service device by using the communication address of the electronic device in the second network comprises:

generating a first packet based on the communication address of the electronic device in the second network, wherein a first payload part of the first packet comprises a second packet, a source address of the second packet is the communication address of the electronic device in the second network, and a destination address of the second packet is a communication address of the at least one service device; and

sending the first packet to the first router.

19 . The electronic device according to claim 18 , wherein a source address of the first packet is a communication address of the electronic device in a first network, and a destination address of the first packet is a communication address of the first router in the second network.

20 . The electronic device according to claim 18 , wherein a second payload part of the second packet comprises service request data, the service request data is used to request a service from the at least one service device, and the operations further comprise:
