A method for configuring network access parameters for a smart object to access a network is disclosed. The method comprises connecting, by the smart object, to a network using a first network access device. The smart object uses a wireless networking protocol to connect to the first network access device. The method further comprises authenticating the smart object with a server on the network and receiving network access information from the server. The network access information relates to a second network access device. The method further comprises using the network access information to connect to the network using the second network access device.

Configuring network access parameters

A network-connected object for performing a function and communicating with a server computing device via a network includes a functional object, application-specific input/output (I/O) device, and a gateway device. The functional object is configured to perform a function. The application-specific I/O device includes an electronic circuit configured to perform an application-specific function related to the functional object. The gateway device includes a first communication device configured for data communication with the application-specific I/O device, a second communication device configured for data communication with the server computing device, at least one processing device, and at least one computer readable storage device. The gateway device is configured to receive a command and a profile identifier from the application-specific I/O device, determine a client identification key associated with the profile identifier, and transmit the command with the client identification key to the server computing device.

Gateway-facilitated communications for resource-constrained devices

A smart object establishes communication with an application provider server computing device by sending a request to a manufacturer server computing device to identify a second server computing device; receiving a response from the first server computing device with an identifier indicating the second server computing device; and using the identifier to establish communication between the smart object and the second server computing device.

Facilitating communication between smart object and application provider

The invention provides systems and methods for providing a unified single-scan user interface for accessing and managing a remotely located device throughout its life cycle, including cellular network provisioning, cloud data provider registration, initialization and activation, as well as providing end users with easy access to the device and its data. The end user simply powers the device on and the device automatically connects with the communication network and the cloud data provider. The device comes to the end user already provisioned and paired and activated with the cloud data provider and the communication network provider. Further, the user account, or accounts, for the use of the device is both active and recorded for billing by the various service providers supporting the device use, i.e., the communication network provider(s).

Systems, devices and methods for provisioning, pairing and activating a newly manufactured device for automatic joining of customer's network

The invention provides systems and methods for providing a unified single-scan user interface for accessing and managing a remotely located device throughout its life cycle, including cellular network provisioning, cloud data provider registration, initialization and activation, as well as providing end users with easy access to the device and its data. The end user simply powers the device on and the device automatically connects with the communication network and the cloud data provider. The device comes to the end user already provisioned and paired and activated with the cloud data provider and the communication network provider. The device is capable of monitoring operational and/or environmental parameters comprising physical and/or chemical data which may be monitored by a mobile device. The mobile device may also initiate modification of the manufactured device's parameters.

Methods for embedding device-specific data to enable remote access to real time device data

The invention provides systems and methods for providing a unified single-scan user interface for accessing and managing a remotely located device throughout its life cycle, including cellular network provisioning, cloud data provider registration, initialization and activation, as well as providing end users with easy access to the device and its data. The end user simply powers the device on and the device automatically connects with the communication network and the cloud data provider. The device comes to the end user already provisioned and paired and activated with the cloud data provider and the communication network provider. Device-specific data is, at manufacture, encoded onto machine-readable labels and complied in a table within a remote database. The present invention thus allows identification and provisioning of individual devices using a mobile device such as a smartphone or the like.
