Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé et appareil de découverte de dispositif, ainsi qu'un dispositif, un support de stockage et produit-programme, qui appartiennent au domaine technique de l'internet des objets. Un procédé de découverte de dispositif consiste à : envoyer un premier message d'interrogation (301), le premier message d'interrogation étant utilisé pour interroger un dispositif qui prend en charge la mise à niveau d'une première capacité de pontage ; recevoir un premier message de réponse (302), le premier message de réponse étant utilisé pour indiquer qu'un premier dispositif prend en charge la mise à niveau de la première capacité de pontage, et la première capacité de pontage, dont la mise à niveau est prise en charge par le premier dispositif, est la capacité de pontage entre un premier protocole de l'internet des objets et un second protocole de l'internet des objets. Au moyen de la solution, les scénarios d'application de pontage sont étendus.
