Systems and methods for the automatic registration of devices
First Claim
1. A method for remotely associating devices with user accounts comprising:
- automatically detecting a device at an installation;
extracting registration information from the device;
communicating the registration information to a remote site using a communications network;
registering the device with the remote site based on the registration information; and
associating the device at the remote site with a user account based on the registration information.

Abstract
Systems and methods for providing registration at a remote site that may include, for example, a monitoring module that may communicate with a remote site. A registration protocol may be used by the monitoring module and the remote site in generating the messages communicated during the registration process. The monitoring module may gather and generate various identification information to be included in the registration protocol messages. The registration information provided by the monitoring module may be stored at the remote site in a database server having a database. A confirmation message may be communicated from the remote site to the monitoring module that may either acknowledge successful registration or report that an error occurred during the registration process.

53. A method for automatically registering at a remote site a device located at an installation to allow remote interaction between the remote site and the device, wherein the installation has already been registered with the remote site, comprising:
-
conducting object discovery of new devices at the registered installation;
detecting a new device at the monitoring module;
extracting registration information from the device;
generating a registration message, wherein the registration message comprises the registration information; and
communicating the registration message to the remote site using a communications network, wherein the remote site uses the registration information to register the device to allow remote interaction between the remote site and the device. - View Dependent Claims (54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68)
