Unified Smart Device Group Management via Server Authorization

The patent merges multiple individual device management accounts into a unified group management account. The server creates a group account that aggregates management permissions for multiple smart devices, allowing users to manage multiple devices through a single account rather than switching between separate accounts for each device.

The group management account serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides unified authentication for multiple devices, consolidates management permissions across different devices, and enables centralized control. This universal account replaces the need for multiple device-specific accounts while maintaining security through server-mediated permission management.

The server acts as an intermediary between the group management account and individual smart devices. It mediates authentication requests, verifies device identities, and manages permission assignments. This intermediary layer ensures that unified account access does not compromise device security, as the server controls and monitors all access operations.

The system implements feedback mechanisms where the server continuously monitors group account usage, tracks which devices are accessed, and manages permission states. This feedback loop allows the system to maintain security by detecting and responding to unauthorized access attempts while enabling efficient unified management.
