  • Configuring an Electronic Device Based on a Transaction
    Publication number: 20160117747
    Abstract: A first network signal is received indicating a device identifier in response to a transaction involving an electronic device uniquely associated with the device identifier. An entity identifier specific to an entity associated with the transaction is determined. In response to an initialization event of the electronic device, a second network signal from the electronic device is received that identifies the electronic device. In response to the second network signal, a configuration is communicated to the electronic device that is specific to the entity associated with the transaction.

  • FACILITATING INTERACTIVE SUPPORT SESSIONS FOR AN EMBEDDED DEVICE USING A PORTABLE DEVICE
    Publication number: 20150222709
    Abstract: An embedded device is connected to a portable device via an alternate connection that is separate from a first network interface used by the embedded device to connect to an Internet service. The Internet service provides support for the embedded device. The portable device connects to the Internet service via a second network interface of the portable device. First messages are exchanged between the portable device and the embedded device via the alternate connection, and second messages are exchanged between the portable device and the Internet service based on the first messages. The first messages and the second messages facilitate an interactive support session between the embedded device and the Internet service in place of the first network interface of the embedded device.
