Abstract
An example container includes: structure having an interior and an exterior. The interior is to contain an electronic product. The exterior comprises: a first label of a first type of polychromatic ink to be activated at a first wavelength; and a second label of a second type of polychromatic ink to be activated at a second wavelength different from the first wavelength; the first label to indicate a first set of features to be configured at the electronic product using a first wireless signal; and the second label to indicate a second set of features to be configured at the electronic product using a second wireless signal. The structure is transparent to the first wireless signal and the second wireless signal.
Claims13
A container comprising:
- a structure having an interior and an exterior;
- the interior to contain an electronic product;
- the exterior comprising:
- a first label of a first type of polychromatic ink to be activated at a first wavelength;
- and a second label of a second type of polychromatic ink to be activated at a second wavelength different from the first wavelength;
- the first label to indicate a first set of features of the electronic product to be configured at the electronic product using a first wireless signal;
- and the second label to indicate a second set of features of the electronic product to be configured at the electronic product using a second wireless signal;
- and
- the structure being transparent to the first wireless signal and the second wireless signal,
- wherein the first label and the second label are to respectively indicate the first set of features and the second set of features by alphanumerically indicating respective geographic regions, when respectively activated by the first wavelength and the second wavelength.
An apparatus comprising:
- a first light source to emit a first wavelength to activate a first type of polychromatic ink;
- a second light source to emit a second wavelength to activate a second type of polychromatic ink;
- a circuit to emit a first wireless signal to configure a first set of features of an electronic product and a second wireless signal to configure a second set of features of the electronic product;
- a memory storing instructions;
- an interface to receive an indication to configure one of the first set of features and the second set of features at the electronic product;
- and
- a processor connected to the first light source, the second light source, the circuit, the interface and the memory, the processor to execute the instructions stored in the memory, the instructions comprising:
- when the indication indicates that the first set of features are to be configured at the electronic product, controlling the circuit to emit the first wireless signal and controlling the first light source to emit the first wavelength;
- and when the indication indicates that the second set of features are to be configured at the electronic product, controlling the circuit to emit the second wireless signal and control the second light source to emit the second wavelength.
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium encoded with instructions executable by a processor, the non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising:
- instructions comprising:
- receiving an indication to configure one of a first set of features and a second set of features at an electronic product;
- instructions comprising:
- when the indication indicates that the first set of features are to be configured at the electronic product, controlling a circuit to emit a first wireless signal to configure the first set of features at the electronic product and controlling a first light source to emit a first wavelength to activate a first type of polychromatic ink;
- and
- instructions comprising:
- when the indication indicates that the second set of features are to be configured at the electronic product, controlling the circuit to emit a second wireless signal to configure the second set of features at the electronic product and controlling a second light source to emit a second wavelength to activate a second type of polychromatic ink.
