Network management in an internet-of-things (iot) environment

Abstract

A network management system in an Internet-of-Things (IoT) environment includes a parent device with a first default configuration including a service set identifier (Wi-Fi SSID) that uniquely identifies a Wi-Fi network, a child device, wherein the child device is configured to identify the Wi-Fi SSID of the parent device, a network, wherein the parent device and the child device are configured to communicate via the network, and a network configuration module that is configured via computer executable instructions to lock the network, generate a second default configuration, provide the second default configuration to each child device, and turn off the second default configuration after the child device confirmed receipt of the second default configuration.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
