PROVISIONING A PLURALITY OF COMPUTING DEVICES

摘要

Example techniques and systems may facilitate self-provisioning of respective computing devices. In one example, a technique may include transmitting, by a first computing device and to a second computing device via NFC, a network identifier that identifies a wireless device-to-device communication connection (e.g., Bluetooth connection) broadcast from the first computing device and a service identifier identifying a connection service of the Bluetooth connection and receiving, from the second computing device via the Bluetooth connection, a request to access a configuration service at a web address. Responsive to receiving the request, the technique may include transmitting the request to the web address via an Internet connection of the first computing device, receiving, by the first computing device and via the Internet connection, provisioning information from the configuration service, and transmitting, by the first computing device and via the Bluetooth connection, the provisioning information to the second computing device.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
transmitting, by a first computing device and to a second computing device via near-field communication, a network identifier and a service identifier, wherein the network identifier identifies a wireless device-to-device communication connection broadcast from the first computing device, and wherein the service identifier identifies a connection service of the wireless device-to-device communication connection; receiving, by the first computing device and from the second computing device via the wireless device-to-device communication connection and the connection service, a request to access a configuration service at a web address; responsive to receiving the request, transmitting, by the first computing device, the request to the web address of the configuration service via an Internet connection of the first computing device; receiving, by the first computing device and via the Internet connection, provisioning information from the configuration service and for the second computing device; and transmitting, by the first computing device and via the wireless device-to-device communication connection and the connection service, the provisioning information to the second computing device, wherein the provisioning information comprises instructions for the second computing device to automatically configure itself with a wireless network detectable by the second computing device and a password that allows the second computing device to access the wireless network for a unique user account associated with the second computing device.
