Patent attributes
A computer-implemented method for provisioning an Internet of Things (IoT) device comprises receiving, at a device provisioning system, an event schema for the IoT device. The method further comprises comparing the one or more event types from the event schema with a plurality of combinations of one or more event types in a device type schema list to identify a match between the one or more event types in the event schema from the IoT device and one of the plurality of combinations of one or more event types in the device type schema list; in response to identifying a match, assigning a device type to the IoT device based on a correlation in the device type schema list for the device type and the matched combination of one or more event types; and provisioning the IoT device with validated credentials based on the assigned device type.
