Abstract
The disclosure provides a solution to dynamically configure a connected device using a stock keeping unit (“SKU”) element associated with the connected device. A connected device includes a SKU element which stores identification of multiple service providers. The service provider IDs are associated with configuration templates which facilitate updating a configuration of the connected device with the service providers.
Claims19
A computer implemented method, comprising:
- detecting an updated subscription status of a connected device with respect to a first service provider;
- identifying a configuration template associated with an identification of the first service provider by selecting, among a plurality of templates stored in a stock keeping unit (SKU) element included in the connected device, a deploying template based on a possibility of conflict of the deploying template against a remaining portion of a previous configuration of the connected device, the remaining portion of the previous configuration being at least partially stored in the connected device;
- and
- configuring the connected device with the first service provider based on the deploying template.
1 more element
A computing system, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- memory;
- and
- a plurality of programming instruction stored on the memory and executable by the one or more processors to implement:
- a subscription detection unit operable to detect an updated subscription status of a connected device with respect to a first service provider;
- a template determination unit operable to identify a configuration template associated with an identification of the first service provider by selecting, among a plurality of templates stored in a stock keeping unit (SKU) element included in the connected device, a deploying template based on a possibility of conflict of the deploying template against a remaining portion of a previous configuration of the connected device, the remaining portion of the previous configuration being at least partially stored in the connected device;
- and
- a configuration unit operable to configure the connected device with the first service provider based on the deploying template.
5 more elements
A server, comprising:
- one or more processing units;
- memory;
- and
- a plurality of programming instruction stored on the memory and executable by the one or more processing units to perform operations including:
- detecting an updated subscription status of a connected device with respect to a service provider;
- identifying a configuration template associated with an identification of the service provider by selecting, among a plurality of templates stored in a stock keeping unit (SKU) element included in the connected device, a deploying template based on a possibility of conflict of the deploying template against a remaining portion of a previous configuration of the connected device, the remaining portion of the previous configuration being at least partially stored in the connected device;
- and
- configuring the connected device with the first service provider based on the deploying template.
