Code based configuration of mobile devices

Abstract

A processor implemented method of configuring an application on a mobile device comprising a code reading device is disclosed herein. The method comprises: reading a code with the code reading device, the code relating to an organization; and configuring at least one parameter of a first application of the mobile device based on the code.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A processor implemented method of configuring an application on a mobile device comprising a code reading device, the method comprising:
 reading a code with the code reading device, the code relating to an organization; and   configuring at least one parameter of a first application of the mobile device based on the code.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the code comprises a value of the at least one parameter. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the code comprises an organization identification (ID) related to the organization; the method further comprising:
 identifying the at least one parameter associated with the organization ID.   
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein the mobile device comprises a storage device having stored thereon parameters associated with a plurality of organizations; and wherein identifying the at least one parameter comprises:
 searching the storage device for the at least one parameter based on the organization ID.   
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein identifying the at least one parameter comprises:
 transmitting a message to a server, the message comprising an identifier of the organization;   receiving a response; and   identifying the at least one parameter based on the response.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the code comprises an identifier of a server, the method further comprising:
 transmitting a message to the server, the message comprising an identifier of the first application;   receiving a response; and   identifying the at least one parameter based on the response.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the response comprises the at least one parameter of the first application. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the message identifies the first application. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the message comprises version information for the first application. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 setting at least one parameter of a second application of the mobile communication device based on the code, the parameter corresponding to the organization.   
     
     
         11 . A non-transitory machine-readable memory storing statements and instructions for execution by a processor for implementing of configuring an application on a mobile device comprising a code reading device, the method comprising:
 reading a code with the code reading device, the code relating to an organization; and   configuring at least one parameter of a first application of the mobile device based on the code, the method of  claim 1 .   
     
     
         12 . A mobile device, comprising:
 a code reading device; and   a processor coupled to the code reading device, the processor configured to:
 accept an input from the code reading device based on a code relating to an organization; and 
 set at least one parameter of a first application of the mobile device based on the code. 
   
     
     
         13 . The mobile device of  claim 12 , wherein the code comprises a value of the at least one parameter. 
     
     
         14 . The mobile device of  claim 12 , wherein the code comprises an organization identification (ID) related to the organization; and wherein the processor is further configured to:
 identify the at least one parameter associated with the organization ID.   
     
     
         15 . The mobile device of  claim 14 , further comprising:
 a storage device having stored thereon parameters associated with a plurality of organizations; and wherein the processor is further configured to:   search the storage device for the at least one parameter based on the organization ID.   
     
     
         16 . The mobile device of  claim 14 , wherein the processor is configured to:
 transmit a message to a server, the message comprising an identifier of the organization;   receive a response; and   identify the at least one parameter based on the response.   
     
     
         17 . The mobile device of  claim 16 , wherein the response comprises the at least one parameter of the first application. 
     
     
         18 . The mobile device of  claim 16 , wherein the message identifies the first application. 
     
     
         19 . The mobile device of  claim 12 , wherein the code comprises an identifier of a server; and wherein the processor is further configured to:
 transmit a message to the server, the message comprising an identifier of the first application;   receive a response; and   identify the at least one parameter based on the response.   
     
     
         20 . The mobile device of  claim 12 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
 set at least one parameter of a second application of the mobile communication device based on the code, the parameter corresponding to the organization.
