Product-as-a-service for connected devices

Abstract

A product-as-a-service for connected devices includes a product-as-a-service system comprising a server computing device. The server computing device stores information associated with a connected device, the information including at least a claim code, and upon receipt of the claim code and an application identifier of an application to be associated with the connected device, associates the connected device with the application and facilitates interactions between the connected device and the application. The server computing device includes a server operating environment that provides one or more Internet of Things (IoT) services for interacting with the connected devices, and subscriber access to the one or more IoT services. The product-as-a-service system can be decoupled from the subscriber access to the one or more IoT services. The product-as-a-service system can be instantiated with a single action. The product-as-a-service system can also be instantiated using a structured template.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
