Abstract

A system and method for simplified provisioning is provided. The method comprises storing information associated with a user during a non-provisioning event. The information is utilized to pre-fill a registration related to a provisioning event. One or more communications are forwarded to the user requesting information to complete the registration for the provisioning event based on the information stored.

Claims (31)

1. A method for provisioning a computing device with a service, the method comprising:

storing information associated with a user of the computing device in a memory of a server, wherein the stored information is a phone number associated with a device of the user, and stored during a non-provisioning event;

executing instructions stored in memory, wherein execution of the instructions by a processor determines that the stored information requires additional information to provision the computing device with the service;

querying the user for additional information not included in the memory of the server, wherein the additional information is required to provision the computing device with the service;

querying the user to verify the phone number provided during a non-provisioning event before forwarding one or more communications associated with provisioning the computing device; and

forwarding one or more communications from the server to the computing device, the one or more communications based on the stored information from the non-provisioning event and the additional information required to provision the computing device with the service.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising requesting password information from the user.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information is stored on the server according to an assigned unique identifier.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising utilizing the information to register the user for provisioning.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising pre-filling information associated with the user, wherein the pre-filled information is previously collected by the server and stored in the memory of the server.

6. A system for provisioning a computing device to provide a service, the system comprising:

a memory to store information associated with a user of the computing device, wherein the stored information is a phone number associated with a device of the user, the phone number stored during a non-provisioning event;

a processor to execute instructions stored in memory to:

determine that the stored information includes information required to provision the computing device with the service,

query the user for additional information not included in memory and required to provision the computing device with the service, and

query the user to verify the phone number before forwarding one or more communications associated with provisioning the computing device; and

an interface to forward one or more communications to the computing device, the one more communications based on the stored information required to provision the computing device with the service.

7. The system of claim 6 , further comprising requesting password information from the user.

8. The system of claim 6 , wherein the information is stored on the server according to an assigned unique identifier.

9. The system of claim 6 , further comprising utilizing the information to register the user for provisioning.

10. The system of claim 6 , further comprising pre-filling information associated with the user, wherein the pre-filled information is previously collected by the server and stored in the memory of the server.

11. A computer-readable storage medium having embodied thereon a program, the program being executable by a processor to perform a method, the method comprising:

storing information associated with a user of the computing device in a memory of a server, wherein the stored information is a phone number associated with a device of the user, and stored during a non-provisioning event;

determining that the stored information requires additional information to provision the computing device with the service;

querying the user for additional information not included in the memory of the server, wherein the additional information is required to provision the computing device with the service;

querying the user to verify the phone number provided during a non-provisioning event before forwarding one or more communications associated with provisioning the computing device; and

forwarding one or more communications to the computing device the one or more communications based on the stored information from the non-provisioning event and the additional information required to provision the computing device with the service.

12. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , further comprising requesting password information from the user.

13. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the information is stored on the server according to an assigned unique identifier.

14. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , further comprising utilizing the information to register the user for provisioning.

15. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , further comprising pre-filling information associated with the user, wherein the pre-filled information is previously collected by the server and stored in the memory of the server.
