Answer 1

 @JsonBackReference  
   @OneToMany(fetch=FetchType.LAZY,  
     mappedBy = "device_group" 
       cascade=cascadeType.PERSIST)  
       private Set<Device> devices; 


 @JsonManagedReference    
     @ManyToOne(fetch=FetchType.LAZY)  
        @JoinColumn(name="device_group_group_id")  
        private Device_group device_group;

Answer 2

You reference the name user-movement more than once in your object tree as @JsonBackReference. You'll need to rename one of them. The two cases are:

@JsonBackReference(value="user-movement")
    public Set<Device> getDevice() {
        return devices;
    }

And

@JsonBackReference(value="user-movement")
    public Main_schedule getMain_schedule_schedule_id(){
      return main_schedule;
     }
