Automatic provisioning of services to network-connected devices
First Claim
1. A device, comprising:
- a communications device;
a storage unit storing instructions; and
at least one hardware processor being coupled to the communications device and the storage unit, the at least one hardware processor being configured to execute the instructions to;
receive, via the communications device, a first signal from a computing system, the first signal comprising data specifying services available to the device;
determine that a subset of the services is consistent with a device type of an additional device; and
generate and transmit, via the communications device, a second signal to the additional device, the second signal comprising a portion of the data that specifies the subset of the services, the additional device being configured to process the portion of the data and to provision the additional device with the subset of the services prior to an authentication of the additional device.

Abstract
The disclosed embodiments include computerized methods and systems that automatically provision one or more services available to an Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices upon connection to and registration onto communications network. In one aspect, a device may receive, from a computing system, data specifying one or more first services provisioned to the device. The device may identify a subset of the first services that are consistent with a device type of an additional device, and may transmit a portion of the stored first data that specifies the subset of the first services to that additional device. The additional device may process the transmitted portion to provision the subset of the first services to the additional device prior to a successful authentication.

11. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
-
receiving, by at least one hardware processor, a first signal from a computing system, the first signal comprising data specifying services available to a device; determining, by the at least one hardware processor, that a subset of the services is consistent with a device type of an additional device; and by the at least one hardware processor, generating and transmitting, a second signal to the additional device, the second signal comprising a portion of the data that specifies the subset of the services, the additional device being configured to process the portion of the data and to provision the additional device with the subset of the services prior to an authentication of the additional device.

12. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a communications device; a storage unit storing instructions; and at least one hardware processor coupled to the communications device and the storage unit, the at least one hardware processor being configured to execute the instructions to; obtain first data identifying a plurality of first services provisioned to a first device by a computing system; determine that a subset of the first services is consistent with a device type of a second device; and generate and transmit, via the communications device, a first signal to the computing system that includes second data identifying the subset of the first services, the computing system being configured to provide, to the second device, service data that provisions the second device with the subset of the first services prior to an authentication of the second device. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
