Abstract
Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer-readable media for updating an operational parameter of a device of a local network of interconnected devices are provided. A user-operated device, in association with an attempt to access the device, may provide an update to the operational parameter of the device. The user-operated device may send the update to the operational parameter before sending the device an operational command. The device may apply the update received from the user-operated device before performing an operation corresponding to the operational command.
Claims28
A system comprising:
- a first computing device storing an operational parameter that controls an operation of the first computing device;
- a second computing device configured to wirelessly transmit, to the first computing device, an operational command corresponding to a selected operation to be performed by the first computing device;
- and
- a server computing device storing an update to the operational parameter;
- wherein the second computing device is further configured to:
- receive the update to the operational parameter from the server computing device;
- and
- before wirelessly transmitting the operational command to the first computing device, wirelessly transmit the update to the operational parameter to the first computing device;
- and
- wherein the first computing device is configured to:
- before receiving the operational command from the first computing device, apply the update to the operational parameter received from the second computing device.
A method comprising:
- by a first computing device:
- initiating an attempt to access a second computing device that stores an operational parameter that controls an operation of the second computing device;
- receiving an update to the operational parameter;
- before wirelessly transmitting, to the second computing device, an operational command to be performed by the second computing device, wirelessly transmitting the update to the operational parameter to the second computing device;
- after the second computing device applies the update to the operational parameter, wirelessly transmitting the operational command to the second computing device.
A method comprising:
- by a first computing device configured to perform one or more operations:
- storing an operational parameter that controls an operation of the one or more operations;
- by the first computing device and after a second computing device initiates an attempt to access the first computing device:
- receiving, from the second computing device, an update to the operational parameter;
- after receiving the update to the operational parameter, receiving, from the second computing device, an operational command to perform a selected operation of the one or more operations;
- and
- before performing the selected operation, applying the update to the operational parameter.
