  • Apparatus, system and method for associating a device to a user of a service
    Patent number: 11889314
    Abstract: A system for associating a device to a user of a service hosted at a remote location may include a device, a WAN, and equipment. The user may identify a wireless network of the device and connect to the device using equipment. An application on the equipment may generate a key and send the key to the device. The device may then connect with the service and transmit the key to the service. The application may disconnect from the device and connect with the service. The application may send a request to the service to associate with the device, sending the key with the request. The service compares the keys received from the device and the application. If the respective keys match, then the service may associate the device to the user of the service. Otherwise, the association is denied.
