First Claim
1. A method of managing via a web portal a remote device from a source device connected to a communication network, wherein a remote management software for remote management of the remote device is not installed on the source device or on the remote device, said method comprising:
- assigning a device ID to the remote device;
based on the assigned device ID, establishing a connection with the remote device via the communication network;
receiving a first instruction from a user for authenticating access to the web portal, said received instruction being originating from the source device;
authenticating the user in response to the received first instruction;
establishing an online status for the authenticated user;
receiving a second instruction from the authenticated user requesting access to the remote device for remote management through the web portal;
validating the device ID of the remote device in response to receiving the second instruction requesting access;
associating the validated device ID with the authenticated user; and
establishing a connection between the remote device and the web portal, wherein the remote device is managed by the authenticated user via the web portal.

Abstract
Managing via a web portal a remote device from a source device connected to a communication network. A device ID is assigned to the remote device, and a remote management software for remote management of the remote device is not installed on the source device or the remote device. Based on the assigned device ID, a connection is established with the remote device via the communication network. A first instruction is received from a user for authenticating access to the web portal. The user is authenticated in response to the received first instruction. An online status is established for the authenticated user. A second instruction is received from the authenticated user requesting access to the remote device. The device ID of the remote device is validated. The validated device ID is associated with the authenticated user. A connection is established between the remote device and the web portal.

8. A system for managing a web-based remote device management for a user from a source device connected to a communication network, wherein a remote management software for remote management of the remote device is not installed on the source device or the remote device, said system comprising:
-
an activation server for assigning a device ID to the remote device; wherein the activation server establishes a connection with the remote device via the communication network based on the assigned device ID; an interface for receiving a first instruction from a user for authenticating access to the web portal, said received instruction being originating from the source device; an authentication server for authenticating the user in response to the received first instruction; a main server, being connected with the authentication server, the interface, and the activation server, for establishing an online status on the interface for the authenticated user; wherein the interface receives a second instruction from the authenticated user requesting access to the remote device for remote management through the interface; wherein the main server validates the device ID of the remote device in response to receiving the second instruction requesting access, said main server validates the device ID by requesting the activation server to validate the assigned device ID; wherein the main server associates the validated device ID with the authenticated user; and wherein the main server establishes a connection between the remote device and the interface, wherein the remote device is accessible to the authenticated user via the interface. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
