SETUP OF MULTIPLE IOT NETWORK DEVICES
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method, comprising:
- receiving, at an existing network device on a network, an indication that a new network device of a set of new network devices has generated a setup access point;
establishing a connection with the setup access point of the new network device;
receiving new network device identification information, wherein the new network device identification information includes information identifying the new network device; and
transmitting the new network device identification information, wherein when the new network device identification information is received, the new network device identification information is transmitted with additional identification information identifying one or more additional new network devices of the set of new network devices, wherein the new network device identification information and the additional identification information facilitate generating one or more authentication queries to authenticate one or more of the new network devices.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates to setup of IoT network devices, and specifically to setup of multiple similar IoT devices at substantially the same time using joint authentication. Embodiments include, for example, receiving, at an existing network device on a network, one or more communications, wherein the one or more communications include an indication that multiple new network devices are associated with the network; receiving an indication that the multiple new network devices have generated a setup access point; establishing a connection with the access point of each of the multiple new network devices; receiving identification information, wherein the identification information includes information identifying each of the multiple new network devices; and transmitting the identification information identifying each of the multiple new network devices, wherein when the identification information is received, the identification information facilitates generating an authentication query to authenticate one or more of the multiple new network devices.
