Near field communication automatic self-provisioning

摘要

Examples are disclosed that facilitate using a mobile device to provision of a connectable device to a user account. The disclosed examples provide for provisioning a connected device by a mobile device that uses a near field communication (NFC) transceiver in the mobile device to obtain information identifying a connectable device. The information identifying the connectable device is obtained from a NFC transponder associated with the connectable device. The mobile device processor accesses user account-related information to retrieve user authenticating information. The user authenticating information and the information identifying the connectable device is transmitted via a wireless communication transceiver to a provisioning server for provisioning the connectable device in a network. A confirmation of the provisioning of the connectable device to the user account associated with the mobile device is presented in a user interface element of the mobile device.

主权项

1. A mobile device, comprising:
at least one user interface element; a wireless communication transceiver; a storage device; a near field communication (NFC) transceiver; and a processor coupled to the at least one user interface element, the wireless communication transceiver and the NFC transceiver, wherein the processor is configured to control the mobile device to perform functions, including functions to:
obtain, via the NFC transceiver, provisioning information related to a connectable device;retrieve information identifying the connectable device from the obtained provisioning information;transmit to a provisioning server the information identifying the connectable device and information related to a user account;receive a signal from the provisioning server confirming the connectable device is provisioned to the user account; andreceive, based on the connectable device being provisioned, services comprising at least one of cellular communication services, data sharing services, navigation services, content delivery services, or digital media services.
