Abstract
Systems and methods of an internet of things device connecting to a remote server. The internet of things device connects to a web target. The web target sends a response to the internet of things device indicating whether a change to the one or more settings of the internet of things device has been received at a cloud server. If a change has occurred, the internet of things device connects to a secure cloud server to update the settings on the internet of things device.
Claims20
An internet of things device comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory communicatively connected to the processor, the memory storing instructions which, when executed, cause the internet of things device to:
- at a predetermined time, connect to a web target;
- receive, from the web target, a response indicating whether a change to one or more settings to the internet of things device has been received at a cloud server associated with the internet of things device;
- assess contents of the response;
- based on the response indicating that no change to the one or more settings has been received at the cloud server, terminate a connection to the web target without connecting to a secure internet of things server interface of the cloud server;
- and
- based on the response indicating that a change to the one or more settings has been received at the cloud server:
- establish a connection to the cloud server via a secure internet of things server interface;
- update one or more settings on the internet of things device based on the change to the one or more settings at the cloud server;
- and
- terminate the connection to the cloud server.

12 more elements
A system comprising:
- a server system hosting a cloud server and a mirror account;
- a mobile device application;
- and
- an internet of things device comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory communicatively connected to the processor, the memory storing instructions which, when executed, cause the internet of things device to:
- receive an external state change request initiated by the mobile device application;
- establish a connection to the cloud server via a secure internet of things server interface;
- update one or more settings on the internet of things device based on a change to the one or more settings within the mirror account at the cloud server, the mirror account being uniquely associated with the internet of things device;
