Abstract
This disclosure describes systems and methods for using a primary device, communicatively coupled to a remote system, to configure or re-configure a secondary device in the same environment as the primary device. In some instances, the primary device may communicatively couple to the secondary device via a short-range wireless connection and to the remote system via a wireless area network (WAN), a wired connection, or the like. Thus, the primary device may act as an intermediary between the secondary device and the remote system for configuring the secondary device.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- determining a current position of a physical member of a first device residing at a first location in an environment;
- determining an updated position to which the physical member is to be moved while the first device remains at the first location in the environment;
- generating computer-executable configuration data that, when executed by one or more processors of the first device, causes the first device to move the physical member to the updated position while the first device remains at the first location in the environment;
- and
- sending the computer-executable configuration data to a second device in the environment, the second device to send the computer-executable configuration data to the first device to cause the first device to move the physical member of the first device to the updated position while the first device remains at the first location in the environment.
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to perform actions comprising:
- determining a current position of a physical member of a first device residing at a first location in an environment;
- determining an updated position to which the physical member is to be moved while the first device remains at the first location in the environment;
- generating computer-executable configuration data that, when executed by one or more processors of the first device, causes the first device to move the physical member to the updated position while the first device remains at the first location in the environment;
- and
- sending the computer-executable configuration data to a second device in the environment, the second device to send the computer-executable configuration data to the first device to cause the first device to move the physical member of the first device to the updated position while the first device remains at the first location in the environment.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors to perform actions comprising:
- determining a current position of a physical member of a first device residing at a first location in an environment;
- determining an updated position to which the physical member is to be moved while the first device remains at the first location in the environment;
- generating computer-executable configuration data that, when executed by one or more processors of the first device, causes the first device to move the physical member to the updated position while the first device remains at the first location in the environment;
- and
- sending the computer-executable configuration data to a second device in the environment, the second device to send the computer-executable configuration data to the first device to cause the first device to move the physical member of the first device to the updated position while the first device remains at the first location in the environment.
