  • Patent number: 10524299
    Abstract: In some cases, a provisioned electronic device may receive a request for configuration information from an unprovisioned device. In response, the provisioned device may determine configuration information to send to the unprovisioned device based at least in part on the contents of the request. Examples of configuration information may include network credentials for connecting to a wireless local area network, a registration token that identifies the unprovisioned device to a fulfillment service, and user preferences associated with a user of the provisioned device. Further, the provisioned device may send the configuration information to the unprovisioned device. Upon receipt of the configuration information, the unprovisioned device may utilize the configuration information to order products from the fulfillment service. In some instances, the provisioned device may obtain the configuration information from the fulfillment service.

  • Patent number: 9936208
    Abstract: Devices, systems and methods are disclosed for improving encoding techniques for mobile devices by adaptively controlling a resolution or frame rate of content to reduce power consumption while maintaining image quality. For example, a local device may determine when the content may be downscaled without degrading a final image quality and may downscale the content prior to encoding and transmitting the encoded content to a remote device. The remote device may decode and upscale the content to the original resolution prior to displaying the content on a display. As downscaling the content is not power intensive, the local device may reduce a power consumption associated with encoding and transmitting the content to the remote device while maintaining the final image quality of the content.
