SETUP OF MULTIPLE IOT NETWORK DEVICES

摘要

The present disclosure relates to setup of IoT network devices, and specifically to setup of multiple similar IoT devices at substantially the same time using joint authentication. Embodiments include, for example, receiving, at an existing network device on a network, one or more communications, wherein the one or more communications include an indication that multiple new network devices are associated with the network; receiving an indication that the multiple new network devices have generated a setup access point; establishing a connection with the access point of each of the multiple new network devices; receiving identification information, wherein the identification information includes information identifying each of the multiple new network devices; and transmitting the identification information identifying each of the multiple new network devices, wherein when the identification information is received, the identification information facilitates generating an authentication query to authenticate one or more of the multiple new network devices.

主权项

1. A computer implemented method, comprising:
generating, at a new network device, a setup access point; receiving a communication including a request to connect to the setup access point; establishing a connection between the setup access point and an existing network device on a network; receiving a communication including an indication that an additional new network device has generated a setup access point; receiving additional new network device identification information, wherein the additional new network device identification information includes information identifying the additional new network device; and transmitting the new network device identification information and the additional new network device identification information, wherein when the new network device identification information and the additional new network device identification information are received, the new network device identification information and the additional new network device identification information facilitate generating one or more authentication queries to authenticate one or more of the multiple new network devices.
