Abstract

A multi-device-multi-account management system includes: a cloud server and a plurality of user equipment communicating with the cloud server. The cloud server includes an AMS for providing a plurality of log-in options and a DMS for managing the plurality of user equipment. The plurality of log-in options include after a user account logging in, the AMS providing automatic introducing personal information into an user equipment which the user account logs in. The AMS generates a QR code which is corresponding to the user account. The user equipment scans the QR code to log into the AMS.

the DMS installs and/or updates and/or deletes application programs of the plurality of user equipment, and remotely controls the plurality of user equipment;

the DMS manages a user equipment group relationship of the plurality of user equipment; and

the DMS performs Over-the-Air Technology (OTA) automatic software updates.

4 . The multi-device-multi-account management system according to claim 1 , wherein the user information of the user account includes desktop settings, web favorite settings, file display settings, application program (APP) display settings, or machine control settings.

5 . The multi-device-multi-account management system according to claim 1 , wherein the QR code is dedicated to the user account.

6 . The multi-device-multi-account management system according to claim 1 , wherein the QR code corresponding to the user account is sent to a user mobile phone or printed on paper.

7 . The multi-device-multi-account management system according to claim 1 , wherein

when the user account logs in a first user equipment of the plurality of user equipment, the AMS automatically loads the user information of the user account to the first user equipment; and

when the user account logs in a second user equipment of the plurality of user equipment, the AMS automatically loads the user information of the user account to the second user equipment.

8 . The multi-device-multi-account management system according to claim 1 , wherein

when a first user account logs in a first user equipment of the plurality of user equipment, the AMS automatically loads a first user information of the first user account to the first user equipment; and

when a second user account logs in the first user equipment of the plurality of user equipment, the AMS automatically loads a second user information of the second user account to the first user equipment;

wherein

the second user account is not allowed to see or access the first user information of the first user account; and the first user account is not allowed to see or access the second user information of the second user account.

9 . The multi-device-multi-account management system according to claim 1 , wherein the user equipment includes:

a touch panel for receiving the user account and the password input by the user;

a camera for scanning the QR code corresponding to the user account;

a NFC reader for reading a NFC card bonding with the user account;

a RFID reader for reading a RFID card bonding with the user account; and

a sensor for sensing environment data and returning to the cloud server.

10 . A cloud server in communication with a plurality of user equipment, the cloud server including:

a processor;

a communication unit; and
