Dynamic Network Configuration for Printers - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240056354 titled 'Dynamic Network Configuration for Printers
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method in a server that involves storing a configuration update definition with criteria and payload data, obtaining a parameter of a connection from a computing device on a WLAN, determining if the parameter meets the criteria, and transmitting the update payload data to the computing device if the criteria are satisfied.
- Storing a configuration update definition with criteria and payload data
- Obtaining a parameter of a connection from a computing device on a WLAN

- Firmware updates for devices connected to WLAN
Problems Solved
- Efficiently updating configurations for devices on a WLAN
- Automating the process of updating configurations based on specific criteria
Benefits
- Streamlined configuration updates
- Reduced manual intervention for updating devices
- Improved network management efficiency
Original Abstract Submitted
a method in a server includes: storing, at the server, a configuration update definition including (i) criteria, and (ii) configuration update payload data; obtaining at the server, from a computing device having a connection to a wireless local area network (wlan), a parameter of the connection; determining whether the parameter satisfies the criteria of the configuration update definition; and in response to determining that the parameter satisfies the criteria, transmitting the configuration update payload data to the computing device.
