Claims19
A method of operating an electronic device, comprising:
- detecting a condition associated with the electronic device that affects a performance of an operation by the electronic device;
- and
- transmitting a condition report to a remote electronic device, the condition report including a request to perform the operation.
A method of operating an electronic device system including a plurality of electronic devices, the method comprising:
- detecting a condition associated with a first electronic device that affects a performance of an operation by the first electronic device;
- and
- transmitting a first condition report to a second electronic device by the first device, the first condition report including a request to perform the operation.
A method of operating an electronic device, comprising:
- detecting an error condition associated with the electronic device that prevents the electronic device from performing an operation;
- and
- transmitting a condition report to a remote electronic device, the first condition report requesting the remote device to perform the operation.
An electronic device, comprising:
- a processor to control an operation of the electronic device;
- a sensor to detect a condition associated with the electronic device;
- a communication interface to communicate with a remote device;
- and
- a first memory to store computer readable instructions, the memory including code for transmitting a condition report to a remote electronic device if the sensor detects a condition associated with the electronic device that affects a performance of an operation by the electronic device, the condition report including a request to another device to perform the operation.
An electronic device, comprising:
- a processor to control an operation of the electronic device;
- a sensor to detect a condition associated with the electronic device;
- a communication interface to communicate with a remote device;
- a first memory to store machine readable instructions, the memory including code for transmitting a condition report to a remote electronic device if the sensor detects a condition associated with the electronic device that affects a performance of an operation by the electronic device, the condition report including a request to another device to perform the operation;
- and
- a second memory configured to select countermeasure information according to the condition associated with the electronic device.
A machine readable medium for operating an electronic device provided in a network system including a plurality of electronic devices, the medium comprising:
- code for detecting a condition associated with a first electronic device that affects a performance of an operation by the first electronic device;
- and
- code for transmitting a first condition report to a second electronic device by the first device, the first condition report including a request to perform the operation.
