WEB BASED ELECTRONIC DEVICE REGISTRATION
A method of registering a device with a remote management system includes establishing a communication connection between an electronic device to a computer. The computer is then connected via a web browser to the remote management system. The electronic device is detected, and a user interface is provided via the computer to display an identification of the electronic device. A registration request for the electronic device is then received via the user interface and the electronic device is registered with the remote management system.
1 . A method comprising:
establishing a communication connection between an electronic device to a computer;
connecting the computer via a web browser to a remote management system;
detecting the electronic device;
providing a user interface via the computer displaying an identification of the electronic device;
receiving a registration request for the electronic device via the user interface; and
registering the electronic device with the remote management system responsive to the registration request.
2 . The method of claim 1 wherein the communication connection comprises a universal serial bus (USB) cable and wherein the method further comprises enabling USB debugging.
3 . The method of claim 1 and further comprising accessing the electronic device via WebADB (Web Android® Debugging Bridge).
4 . The method of claim 1 and further comprising enabling network connectivity on the electronic device and computer.
5 . The method of claim 4 and further comprising connecting the electronic device to a network to complete registration with the remote management system.
6 . The method of claim 4 wherein the user interface comprises a remote management system portal and further comprising displaying a status of the electronic device.
7 . The method of claim 6 wherein the status is “online.”
8 . The method of claim 1 and further comprising provisioning the electronic device via the remote management system following registration.
9 . The method of claim 1 and further comprising:
accessing connection information in the electronic device; and
transferring the connection information to the remote management device.
10 . The method of claim 9 wherein the connection information comprises security information to authorize registration of the electronic device.
11 . The method of claim 1 wherein the method is performed on multiple additional devices to register the multiple devices with the remote management system.
12 . A machine-readable storage device having instructions for execution by a processor of a machine to cause the processor to perform operations to perform a method, the operations comprising:
establishing a communication connection between an electronic device to a computer;
connecting the computer via a web browser to a remote management system;
detecting the electronic device;
providing a user interface via the computer displaying an identification of the electronic device;
receiving a registration request for the electronic device via the user interface; and
registering the electronic device with the remote management system responsive to the registration request.
13 . The device of claim 12 wherein the communication connection comprises a universal serial bus (USB) cable and wherein the operations further comprise enabling USB debugging, the method further comprising accessing the electronic device via WebADB (Web Android® Debugging Bridge).
14 . The device of claim 12 wherein the operations further comprise enabling network connectivity on the electronic device and computer and connecting the electronic device to a network to complete registration with the remote management system.
15 . The device of claim 14 wherein the user interface comprises a remote management system portal and further comprising displaying a status of the electronic device.
16 . The device of claim 12 and further comprising provisioning the electronic device via the remote management system following registration.
17 . The device of claim 12 wherein the operations further comprise:
accessing connection information in the electronic device; and
transferring the connection information to the remote management device.
18 . The device of claim 17 wherein the connection information comprises security information to authorize registration of the electronic device.
19 . A device comprising:
a processor; and
a memory device coupled to the processor and having a program stored thereon for execution by the processor to perform operations comprising:
establishing a communication connection between an electronic device to a computer;
connecting the computer via a web browser to a remote management system;
detecting the electronic device;
providing a user interface via the computer displaying an identification of the electronic device;
receiving a registration request for the electronic device via the user interface; and
registering the electronic device with the remote management system responsive to the registration request.
20 . The device of claim 12 wherein the communication connection comprises a universal serial bus (USB) cable and wherein the operations further comprise enabling USB debugging, the method further comprising:
accessing the electronic device via WebADB (Web Android® Debugging Bridge);
enabling network connectivity on the electronic device and computer;
connecting the electronic device to a network; and
provisioning the electronic device via the remote management system following registration.
