Abstract
A computer implemented method of using a drone to provide update packages to embedded devices, comprising using one or more processors mounted on the drone for executing a code for maneuvering the drone to be in range of one or more wireless interfaces of each of a plurality of embedded devices, communicating with each embedded device through the wireless interface(s) to identify one or more attributes of each embedded device, selecting one of a plurality of update packages according to the identified attribute(s) and transmitting the selected update package to the each embedded device through the wireless interface(s).
Claims17
A computer implemented method of using a drone to provide update packages to embedded devices, comprising:
- using at least one processor mounted on a drone for executing a code for:
- maneuvering the drone to be in range of at least one wireless interface of each of a plurality of embedded devices;
- communicating with the each embedded device through the at least one wireless interface to identify at least one attribute of the each embedded device;
- selecting one of a plurality of update packages according to the at least one identified attribute;
- and
- transmitting the selected update package to the each embedded device through the at least one wireless interface.
A system for using a drone to provide update packages to embedded devices, comprising:
- at least one processor mounted on a drone, the at least one processor is adapted to execute a code, the code comprising:
- code instructions to maneuver the drone to be in range of at least one wireless interface of each of a plurality of embedded devices;
- code instructions to communicate with the each embedded device through the at least one wireless interface to identify at least one attribute of the each embedded device;
- code instructions to select one of a plurality of update packages according to the at least one identified attribute;
- and
- code instructions to transmit the selected update package to the each embedded device through the at least one wireless interface.
