Transfer ownership of network access device between users
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11886594B2) outlines a computer-readable storage medium carrying instructions for a cloud system to manage the transfer of ownership of a network access device between users. The system initiates a change in registration, receives authorization from the current owner, and validates a physical reset at the device before transferring ownership to a new user. If the authorization or reset is invalid, the device reverts to a prior configuration. The process ensures that ownership transfer requires both user authorization and a physical reset, with only one owner allowed at a time.
Additionally, the patent details methods for the cloud system to handle ownership transfers, including receiving login credentials, sending notifications to users, and restoring device settings. The system can also facilitate ownership transfer requests from new users, prompting the current owner for authorization. Electronic communications are utilized to inform users of successful or failed ownership transfers. The patent emphasizes the importance of user authentication and physical reset in ensuring secure and valid ownership transfers of network access devices, such as routers, switches, modems, or access points, within a cloud system.
