System and method for configuration of a connected device connection
First Claim
1. A method for switching a connection of a connected device from a first connection to a first secure network of interconnected computers to a second connection to a second secure network of interconnected computers, the method comprising:
- obtaining, by a processing resource of a cloud switch server, (a) a cloud device identifier generated by the second secure network of interconnected computers and enabling the second secure network of interconnected computers to identify the connected device, and (b) unique security credentials enabling only the connected device to connect to the second secure network of interconnected computers and to access at least parts thereof; and
sending, by the processing resource, to the connected device, connection information enabling connecting the connected device to the second secure network of interconnected computers, the connection information comprising (a) second identification information enabling identification of the second secure network of interconnected computers, (b) the cloud device identifier; and
(c) the unique security credentials;
wherein the obtaining and sending are performed after receiving, by the processing resource of the cloud switch server, from a user, a switch instruction for switching the connection of the connected device from the first connection to the first secure network of interconnected computers to the second connection to the second secure network of interconnected computers.
