Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to apparatuses and methods for providing network addressability for one or more logical entities associated with a communication interface of a tangible device in a network. In one aspect of the present disclosure, a media access control address of a communication interface is converted to an Internet Protocol address for a logical entity associated with the communication interface. When the apparatuses and methods of the present disclosure receive a communication signal including the converted Internet protocol address, the communication signal is provided to the logical entity associated with the Internet protocol address. In another aspect of the present disclosure, a user input received at a communication interface is mapped to an Internet protocol address to send a request to a logical entity.

Claim (Index 15):
A method comprising:\n converting a first media access control address associated with a first communication interface to a first Internet Protocol address associated with a first logical entity, wherein the first communication interface is coupled to a first local area network; and wherein the first media access control address is converted from a first universally administered media access control address to a first locally administered media access control address; receiving a communication signal from the first communication interface, wherein the second communication interface is coupled to a wide area network and is addressed using an Internet protocol address format; converting a second media access control address associated with a third communication interface to a second Internet protocol address associated with a second logical entity wherein the third communication interface is coupled to a second local area network and wherein the converting further includes converting the second media access control address from a second universally administered media access control address to a second locally administered media access control address; receiving a communication signal from the first communication interface, the second communication interface, or the third communication interface, the communication signal including the first Internet protocol address or the second Internet protocol address; determining if the communication signal includes the first Internet protocol address; providing the communication signal to the first logical entity if the communication signal includes the first Internet protocol address; and providing the communication signal to the second logical entity if the communication signal includes the second Internet protocol address.
