Method and system for authenticating cellular devices and non-SIM devices for accessing a Wi-Fi access point using a cloud platform

摘要

The invention provides a method and system for establishing a connection between a client device of a plurality of client devices and a Wi-Fi access point of a plurality of Wi-Fi access points using a cloud platform. One or more cellular devices and one or more non-Subscriber Identity Module (non-SIM) devices of a user are registered at the cloud platform. The one or more non-SIM devices are then associated to the one or more cellular devices. Further, each Wi-Fi access point of the plurality of Wi-Fi access points is also registered at the cloud platform. A location of the client device is identified and one or more Wi-Fi access points that are closest to the client device is identified. The one or more Wi-Fi access points then authorize the client device to access the one or more Wi-Fi access points based on the information provided by the cloud platform.
