Patent number: 10242017Abstract: Methods and apparatus for modifying the feature set of data collection devices are disclosed. Requests are receiving at a computer system different from the data collection device for a new configuration of the data collection device, the request including an identifier for the data collection device, identification of one or more features, and for each identified feature, an indication to modify the operation of a feature. The identifier may comprise an identifier that is unique for a particular data collection device or an indication of a group of devices, e.g. a model number. Prior to authorizing the new configuration, a determination may be made as to whether the identified data collection device(s) are suitable for the new configuration by consulting a configuration database. To implement the new configuration, an encoded authorization file is generated based on the requested configuration and the identifier of the data collection device(s).Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2014Date of Patent: March 26, 2019Assignee: HAND HELD PRODUCTS, INC.Inventors: Guy H. Berthiaume, Aldo M. Caballero, James A. Cairns, William H. Havens, Thomas J. Koziol, James W. Stewart, Ynjiun P. Wang, Daniel D. Yeakley
