Abstract
In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, an electronic device is described. An example electronic device includes a processor to place the electronic device in a transit mode. When in the transit mode, the processor is placed in an inactive state. The example electronic device also includes a wireless module. An example wireless module includes a wireless controller to, when in the transit mode, periodically activate a wireless transceiver of the electronic device. The example wireless module also includes the wireless transceiver to, when in the transit mode 1) connect to a wireless network and 2) transmit configuration information for the electronic device.
Claims20
An electronic device, comprising:
- a processor to place the electronic device in a transit mode, wherein when in the transit mode the processor is placed in an inactive state, wherein the processor is to map the electronic device to a supply chain account to record a transaction with the electronic device while in the transit mode;
- a wireless module comprising:
- a wireless controller to, when in the transit mode, periodically activate a wireless transceiver of the electronic device;
- and
- the wireless transceiver to, when in the transit mode:
- connect to a wireless network;
- and
- transmit configuration information for the electronic device;
- and
- responsive to an activation trigger of the electronic device;
- place the electronic device in a consumer mode;
- and
- delete a mapping of the electronic device to the supply chain account.
An electronic device, comprising:
- a processor to:
- place the electronic device in a transit mode, wherein when in the transit mode the processor is placed in an inactive state;
- map the electronic device to a supply chain account to record a transaction with the electronic device while in the transit mode;
- and
- execute a command that is received by a wireless controller;
- a wireless module comprising:
- a wireless transceiver to, when in the transit mode:
- connect to a wireless network;
- transmit configuration information for the electronic device;
- and
- receive a command for the processor of the electronic device;
- and
- the wireless controller to, when in the transit mode:
- periodically activate the wireless transceiver of the electronic device to connect to the wireless network;
- based on a received command, activate the processor and transmit the command;
- and
- responsive to an activation trigger of the electronic device:
- place the electronic device in a consumer mode;
- and
- delete a mapping of the electronic device to the supply chain account.
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium encoded with instructions executable by a processor of an electronic device to, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- place an electronic device in a transit mode, wherein when in the transit mode the processor is placed in an inactive state;
- map the electronic device to a supply chain account to record a transaction with the electronic device while in the transit mode;
- periodically activate a wireless transceiver of the electronic device;
- connect, via the wireless transceiver, the electronic device to a wireless network;
- transmit configuration information for the electronic device via the wireless network;
- record a transaction to the supply chain account;
- and
- responsive to an activation trigger of the electronic device:
- place the electronic device in a consumer mode;
- and
- delete a mapping of the electronic device to the supply chain account.
