Abstract
System, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to updating distributed devices. In one embodiment, a method includes, in response to acquiring, in a delivery device that is mobile, an update for a software package, identifying an update target that is associated with at least one update device that includes the software package that is to be updated. The method includes communicating, upon locating the update target, the update directly to the at least one update device to permit the at least one update device to revise the software package using the update.
Claims20
An update system for updating distributed devices, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- a memory communicably coupled to the one or more processors and storing:
- a detection module including instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to, in response to acquiring, in a delivery device that is mobile, an update for a software package, identify an update target that is associated with at least one update device that includes the software package that is to be updated;
- and
- a communication module including instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to communicate, upon locating the update target, the update directly to the at least one update device to permit the at least one update device to revise the software package using the update,
- wherein the detection module include instructions to locate the update target including instructions to re-route the delivery device to rendezvous with the at least one update device.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium for updating distributed devices and including instructions that when executed by one or more processors cause the one or more processors to:
- in response to acquiring, in a delivery device that is mobile, an update for a software package, identify an update target that is associated with at least one update device that includes the software package that is to be updated;
- and
- communicate, upon locating the update target, the update directly to the at least one update device to permit the at least one update device to revise the software package using the update,
- wherein the instructions to locate the update target including instructions to re-route the delivery device to rendezvous with the at least one update device.
A method of updating distributed devices, comprising:
- in response to acquiring, in a delivery device that is mobile, an update for a software package, identifying an update target that is associated with at least one update device that includes the software package that is to be updated;
- and
- communicating, upon locating the update target, the update directly to the at least one update device to permit the at least one update device to revise the software package using the update,
- wherein locating the update target includes re-routing the delivery device to rendezvous with the at least one update device.
