ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method, system and device for securing ownership for a two-part device with a physical unit and a virtual unit so that ownership of the two-part device is efficiently initiated, maintained, and transferred. The steps include initiating, by a user, an activation signal from the physical unit to the virtual unit to activate an ownership procedure and employing a double safety mechanism to activate ownership services via the virtual unit for the physical unit.
