Methods for embedding device-specific data to enable remote access to real time device data

A method for obtaining, with a mobile device having internet access and scanning capability, operational data from a remotely located device regarding the environment the device is deployed within, comprising:

• manufacturing a device with a network radio modem;
• providing provisioning and activation of the device with a communication network provider during the device manufacturing and distribution process wherein the communication network supplier supplies a network from one of the group consisting of:
• a wide area network, a local area network, a personal area network and an ethernet network.
• providing provisioning of the device with a cloud data services provider during the device manufacturing and distribution process;
• remotely locating the device from a user within a device network, the device and device network in operative communication with the communication network supplier and the cloud data services provider;
• automatically joining the device with the cloud data services provider and the communication network supplier upon power up by the end user;
• obtaining device-specific data for the manufactured device;
• embedding the device-specific data obtained on an optically scannable identification label;
• attaching the identification label to the manufactured device;
• entering the device-specific data in a database;
• scanning the identification label with the mobile device to obtain access to the manufactured device and to view the database data regarding the remotely located device;
• using the mobile device, powering up the accessed manufactured device;
• and
• using the mobile device, communicating with the device to enable the device to sense real time environmental data.

A newly manufactured device capable of being accessed by a mobile device to view operational or environmental data when joined in a network, with further modification of operational parameters initiated by the mobile device, comprising:

• a radio modem, in operative communication with a device engine and a user via QR code scanning, wherein the newly manufactured device comes to a customer having a customer's user account;
• and
• a data sensor, in operative communication with the radio modem,
• the device having been:
• activated relative to a communication network supplier wherein the communication network supplier is selected from the group consisting of a wide area network supplier, a local area network supplier, a personal area network supplier, and an ethernet network supplier;
• provisioned and activated relative to a cloud data service provider, and
• paired with the customer's user account, wherein the device automatically joins the network supplied by the communication network supplier when first powered up and thereby becoming a networked device capable of generating or sensing data;
• obtaining device-specific data for the manufactured device;
• embedding the device-specific data obtained on an optically scannable identification label;
• attaching the identification label to the manufactured device;
• entering the device-specific data in a database;
• scanning the identification label with the mobile device to obtain access to the manufactured device and to view the database data regarding the remotely located device;
• using the mobile device, powering up the accessed manufactured device;
• and
• using the mobile device, communicating with the manufactured device to obtain real time operational or environmental data and, if necessary, to modify operational parameters of the manufactured device.
