Abstract: An example computing device is configured to (i) establish a connection to a secure wireless network (ii) determine that one or more playback devices of a media playback system are not connected to the secure wireless network (iii) receive, via a graphical display, a user input indicating a request to update the one or more playback devices with network configuration parameters for the secure wireless network, (iv) retrieve, from storage, a list of the one or more playback devices, (v) receive an input indicating a first playback device to be updated from the list, (vi) establish an initial communication path with the first playback device, (vii) transmit a set of one or more messages to the first computing device collectively comprising the network configuration parameters for the secure wireless network, and (viii) receive an indication that the first computing device has established a connection to the secure wireless network.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus consistent with the present disclosure may allow students or other individuals to purchase product from or to trade products with their peers when both a purchaser and a distributor are physically located within a same general location. In such instances, the purchaser and a product distributor may be located within the boundaries of a school or campus that may span only a few city blocks. Both the purchaser and the distributor may both be members of an organization associated with the general location. Methods and apparatus consistent with the present disclosure may allow a purchaser to order products that they need for delivery by another student without either student having to travel to a retail store to pick up an ordered product. Apparatus consistent with the present disclosure may receive information from a product tag as an ordered product is processed for delivery.

Abstract: This invention relates to a system and method for distributing new products in the selected regions, such as university, college by incentivizing a member, such as students of the university, from the same region. The scholar starter network includes; key student module, new student module, new school module, new company module, ordering application module, tracking module, key student database, school database and product database. The key students are incentivized by the university and/or the product supplier to promote sales of the product on their campus. The university sets the parameters for distribution, including but not limited to, distribution locations, product types, and distribution enticements. Key students utilize a mobile app to view and order available products to at least one of the university approved distribution sites. Products progress through the supply chain is tracked by NFC tags in the product packaging and reported to the key student's mobile app.

Abstract: A case for a portable electronic device, the portable electronic device having a housing that carries a first magnetic element capable of forming a first magnetic circuit through the housing with a magnetic element external to the portable electronic device capable of securing together the housing and the external magnetic element. The case can include a body having a bottom wall and side walls that combine to define a recessed region suitable for retaining the portable electronic device and a second magnetic element located at a position corresponding to the external magnetic element such that when the portable electronic device is carried in the recessed region, the second magnetic element forms a second magnetic circuit through the body with the external magnetic element that is capable of securing together the case and the external magnetic element.
