DEVICE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, DEVICE, DEVICE MANAGEMENT METHOD, AND MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18060091 titled 'DEVICE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, DEVICE, DEVICE MANAGEMENT METHOD, AND MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a device management system that includes a device management service and a device to be managed. The device sends a registration request to the device management service, which determines if the device should be registered as a shared device. If not, the device management service notifies the device that it can be registered as a private device. The device then sends a private device registration request, along with user authentication information, to the device management service. The device management service registers the device with a user based on the authentication information.

  • The device management system allows for the management of devices.
  • The system determines if a device should be registered as a shared or private device.
  • If the device is not eligible for shared registration, it can be registered as a private device.
  • User authentication information is used to associate the device with a specific user.

Potential Applications

  • Device management systems for organizations or households.
  • IoT (Internet of Things) device management.
  • Remote device management for IT support.

Problems Solved

  • Simplifies the process of registering devices in a device management system.
  • Allows for differentiation between shared and private devices.
  • Provides a secure way to associate devices with specific users.

Benefits

  • Efficient device management and organization.
  • Enhanced security through user authentication.
  • Flexibility in registering devices as shared or private.


Original Abstract Submitted

A device management system comprises a device management service to perform device management; and a device to be managed. The device transmits a registration request to the device management service. The device management service determines, in response to the registration request, whether the device is a device to be registered as a shared device. If the device management service determines that the device is not a device to be registered as the shared device, the device management service transmits, to the device, a notification that the device can be registered as a private device. The device transmits, in response to the notification, a private device registration request along with user authentication information to the device management service. The device management service registers the device in association with a user identified by the user authentication information.
