Method to realize dynamic networking and resource sharing among equipments
First Claim
1. A method for dynamically networking and resource sharing among devices, comprising the steps of:
- A1. installing a set of dynamic networking and resource sharing module on each of devices desired to realize dynamic networking and resource sharing, said module set including a network transmission layer module for transmitting and receiving data;
a device management layer module for controlling and managing the connection among the devices;
a service management layer module for performing a service management for the device itself and a node, these devices periodically sending device announcement messages to the network with multicasting;
B1. a device serves as a node control device and announces a message of the existence of the device with multicasting so as to create a node;
C1. a device finds the node by monitoring a node announcement message, and a device which request to join into the node registers its service information which can be provided to the node control device of the node;
or the node control device configures other devices on the network so as to make said device has to register its service information which can be provided to the node control device and joins into the node;
D1. the device which has joined into the node finds a device providing service by indexing the node control device, and obtains a desired service from said device by sending a service calling message.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method allowing dynamically networking among a plurality of devices to share resource. It includes: installing a software of dynamic networking and resource sharing on each of devices to realize dynamic networking and resource sharing. These devices periodically announce information with multicasting. A device serves as node control device, and announces the message of the existence of the device through multicasting, creates a node. A device can find the node by monitoring announcement message from the node. The device which requests to join into the node device registers its service information that can be provided by the device to the node control device. The device which has joined into the node finds the device providing service by indexing the nodal control device, and obtains desired service from the device by sending a service calling information. The method is applied to home backbone network for performing networking in home network. Then a topology connection structure with master/slave and peer-to-peer modes can be realized. The dynamic networking and resource sharing between the service providing device and the service utilizing device in the home backbone network can be realized.
