AUTO-USER REGISTRATION AND UNLOCKING OF A COMPUTING DEVICE

摘要

A computing device provides an indication that the computing device accepts dynamic user registration of user accounts over a wireless connection. A wireless mobile device automatically connects to the computing device, establishes an encrypted connection, and receives, over the encrypted connection, and passes an encrypted account token over the encrypted connection to the computing device, all without physical interaction with the computing device. The computing device automatically contacts a remote account server to retrieve a user account associated with the account token and registers the user account with the device.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
providing, by a first computing device, an indication that the first computing device accepts user registration of user accounts over a wireless connection; after or in connection with providing the indication, receiving a request to initiate the user registration from a second computing device over the wireless connection; establishing an encrypted connection between the first computing device and the second computing device in response to the request; receiving, from the second computing device over the encrypted connection, an account token for obtaining user account information associated with a user account on the second computing device; in response to receiving the account token, obtaining, based on the account token, the user account information from a server at a different network location than the first computing device and the second computing device; and registering the user account with the first computing device based on the obtained user account information in response to obtaining the user account information.
