Abstract
Systems, apparatuses, computer program products, and methods for dynamically customizing and/or configuring applications on devices. Current access point information associated with the terminal is transmitted from the terminal. In response to providing this current access point information, the terminal receives updated access point information via the network. The terminal is configured to enable data communication by way of an access point identifiable from the updated access point information, rather than from any prior access points.
Claims33
A method comprising:
- transmitting at least current access point information from a terminal;
- receiving updated access point information in response to providing the current access point information;
- and
- configuring the terminal to enable data communication via an access point identifiable from the updated access point information.
1 more element
A terminal comprising:
- storage to store terminal-related information including an identification of at least one current access point by which the terminal can access a network;
- a transmitter;
- a processing system coupled to the storage and configured to cause the transmitter to direct at least some of the terminal-related information to a network element;
- a receiver configured to receive identification of at least one updated access point from the network element;
- and
- wherein the processing system is further configured to replace at least one of the current access points with the at least one updated access point.
3 more elements
A server comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive terminal-related information from a plurality of terminals, wherein the terminal-related information includes at least current access point information by which terminals gain access to a network;
- an access point information identification module executable by a processing arrangement and configured to obtain updated access point information for the terminals based on at least some of the terminal-related information;
- and
- a transmitter configured to transmit the updated access point information to the respective terminals for use by the respective terminals in updating the current access point information with the updated access point information.
1 more element
A method comprising:
- receiving terminal-related information from a terminal, wherein the terminal-related information includes at least current access point information for the terminal;
- obtaining updated access point information for the terminal using at least some of the terminal-related information, wherein the updated access point information includes at least one updated access point by which the terminal can gain access to a network;
- and
- transmitting the updated access point information to the terminal, thereby facilitating replacement of a current access point with the at least one updated access point at the terminal.
1 more element
A system comprising:
- (a) a configuration server system;
- (b) a plurality of terminals, each of the terminals comprising:
- storage to store terminal-related information including an identification of at least one current access point by which the terminal can access a network;
- a transmitter;
- a processing system coupled to the storage and configured to cause the transmitter to direct at least some of the terminal-related information to the configuration server system;
- a receiver configured to receive identification of at least one updated access point from the configuration server system;
- wherein the processing system is further configured to replace at least one of the current access points with the at least one updated access point;
- (c) wherein the configuration server system comprises:
- a receiver configured to receive the terminal-related information from the terminals;
- an access point information identification module executable by a processing arrangement and configured to obtain the identification of the updated access point for the terminals based on at least some of the terminal-related information;
- and
- a transmitter configured to transmit the updated access point information to the respective terminals for use by the respective terminals in replacing the at least one current access point with the at least one updated access point.
