Electronic Device Auto-Enrollment via Hash Matching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The manual registration of electronic devices to an enterprise is time-consuming and labor-intensive, requiring significant resources proportional to the number of devices.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented method and system that determines the auto-enrollment status of an electronic device based on hash information associated with its identifier, allowing for automatic configuration by requesting and adopting designated configuration settings from the enterprise, thereby streamlining the registration process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual registration method is used, then device can be registered to enterprise, but time consumption and labor intensity increase proportionally with number of devices
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic device automatically performs enrollment operations by detecting enterprise identifiers in its environment and self-configuring with enterprise configuration information, eliminating the need for manual user registration actions. The device serves itself by autonomously completing the enrollment process.
Solution Approach 2:
Enterprise configuration information is pre-stored in the system, allowing the device to quickly enroll by matching detected enterprise identifiers with pre-prepared configuration data, rather than requiring configuration during the registration process itself.
2Reliability
If manual registration is performed for each device, then proper configuration can be applied, but labor resources required increase with device quantity
Solution Approach 1:
The device autonomously retrieves and applies the correct enterprise configuration information by matching its detected enterprise identifier with stored configuration data, ensuring accurate configuration without requiring manual intervention for each device.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses enterprise identifiers and configuration information as intermediaries to automatically match devices with their appropriate enterprise configurations, replacing manual registration operations with automated identifier-based matching.
3Loss of time
If automatic enrollment is implemented, then registration time is reduced, but system complexity increases due to hash information processing
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses hash information as a simplified copy or representation of enterprise identifiers, allowing fast comparison and matching operations without requiring processing of full identifier data, thus reducing computational complexity while maintaining automation benefits.

AI summary
A system and a method for registering an electronic device are provided. An auto-enrollment status of an electronic device by an enterprise is determined based on hash information associated with an identifier for the electronic device. In a case where the auto-enrollment status of the electronic device is determined to require auto-enrollment of the electronic device by the enterprise, one or more configuration settings for the electronic device as designated by the enterprise are identified, and the electronic device is requested to adopt the one or more configuration settings as designated by the enterprise in response to providing the auto-enrollment login interface to the electronic device.
