10771635 · 2020-09-08 · ·

An apparatus enables communication between a user device and a communication server. The apparatus receives a device identifier of the user device and determines after searching a device-to-token database that the device identifier is not associated with any device communication token. The apparatus activates a predetermined application on the user device, and thereafter receives a device communication token of the predetermined application. A mapping of the device communication token with the device identifier is stored in the device-to-token database after which a communication account is created for the user device on a communication server. A login credential for the communication account is sent to the user device in a message addressed to the predetermined application and transmitted via a message server. The predetermined application on the user device receives the message, and thereafter automatically logs in to the communication server according to the login credential in the message.

Secure provisioning and management of devices

Systems, methods and devices for provisioning a computerized device(s). The system may include a distributor computer that is connected to the computerized device, and is operable to receive a digital asset and transmit it to the device. The system may include a digital asset management server that is connected to the distributor computer, and is operable to transmit the digital asset to the distributor computer, and a provisioning controller that is connected to the distributor computer and the digital asset management server, and is operable to cause transmission of the digital asset to the distributor computer. The system can include a second distributor computer that is connected to the digital asset management server and the device (e.g., at a later time), and that receives a second digital asset and transmits it to the device, wherein the second digital asset causes the device to become partially or fully functional.
