Abstract
A method for provisioning of a device or a group of devices discovery and registration service comprises receiving availability messages from unbound devices, receiving a request for the service, correlating the service identifying data to the device identifying data, selecting candidate unbound devices, prompting the user to select an unbound device, or an unbound group of devices, receiving a selected unbound device, or a selected unbound group of devices, from the user, sending a machine generated code to an output device associated with the selected unbound device or group of devices, prompting the user to confirm ownership of the selected unbound device or group of devices, by entering the machine generated code, receiving, from the user, a human entered code, comparing the machine generated code to the human entered code, and based on the comparison, selectively binding the selected device, or the selected group of devices, to the service.
