Enhanced Dynamic Device Configuration

Abstract

The disclosure provides a solution to dynamically configure a connected device using a stock keeping unit (“SKU”) element associated with the connected device. A connected device includes a SKU element which stores identification of multiple service providers. The service provider IDs are associated with configuration templates which facilitate updating a configuration of the connected device with the service providers.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method, comprising:
 detecting an updated subscription status of a connected device with respect to a first service provider;   selecting, among a plurality of templates stored in a stock keeping unit (SKU) element included in the connected device, a first template based on a possibility of conflict of the first template against a first remaining portion of a previous configuration of the connected device, the first remaining portion of the previous configuration being at least partially stored in the connected device; and   deploying an updated configuration with the first service provider based on the first template.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 selecting, among the plurality of templates stored in the SKU element, a second template; and   removing, from the connected device, a second remaining portion of the previous configuration based on the second template.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein detecting the updated subscription status comprises determining that a new subscription with the first service provider has been transferred from a previous subscription with a second service provider, and
 wherein selecting the second template comprises identifying that the second template is associated with an ID of the second service provider in the SKU element.   
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein deploying the updated configuration comprises reconfiguring the previous configuration based on the first template. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein detecting the updated subscription status comprises determining that a subscription between the connected device and the first service provider has been terminated. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein detecting the updated subscription status comprises determining that a new subscription with the first service provider has been updated from a previous subscription with the first service provider. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein deploying the updated configuration comprises updating the previous configuration based on the first template. 
     
     
         8 . A system, comprising:
 one or more processors;   memory; and   a plurality of programming instruction stored on the memory and executable by the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
 detecting an updated subscription status of a connected device with respect to a first service provider; 
 selecting, among a plurality of templates stored in a stock keeping unit (SKU) element included in the connected device, a first template based on a possibility of conflict of the first template against a first remaining portion of a previous configuration of the connected device, the first remaining portion of the previous configuration being at least partially stored in the connected device; and 
 deploying an updated configuration with the first service provider based on the first template. 
   
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 selecting, among the plurality of templates stored in the SKU element, a second template; and   removing, from the connected device, a second remaining portion of the previous configuration based on the second template.   
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein detecting the updated subscription status comprises determining that a new subscription with the first service provider has been transferred from a previous subscription with a second service provider, and
 wherein selecting the second template comprises identifying that the second template is associated with an ID of the second service provider in the SKU element.   
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein deploying the updated configuration comprises reconfiguring the previous configuration based on the first template. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein detecting the updated subscription status comprises determining that a subscription between the connected device and the first service provider has been terminated. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein detecting the updated subscription status comprises determining that a new subscription with the first service provider has been updated from a previous subscription with the first service provider. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein deploying the updated configuration comprises updating the previous configuration based on the first template. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the first remaining portion of the previous configuration is stored in the memory. 
     
     
         16 . A system, comprising:
 one or more processors;   memory; and   a plurality of programming instruction stored on the memory and executable by the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
 detecting an updated subscription status of a connected device with respect to a service provider; 
 selecting, among a plurality of templates stored in a stock keeping unit (SKU) element included in the connected device, a particular template based on a previous configuration of the connected device; and 
 implementing a new configuration with the service provider based on the particular template. 
   
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 16 , wherein implementing the new configuration comprises removing at least a portion of the previous configuration from the connected device based on the particular template. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 16 , wherein implementing the new configuration comprises reconfiguring the previous configuration based on the particular template, and
 wherein the previous configuration is at least partially stored on the connected device.   
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 16 , wherein implementing the new configuration comprises updating the previous configuration based on the particular template, and
 wherein the previous configuration is at least partially stored on the connected device.   
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 16 , wherein implementing the new configuration comprises enabling the connected device to communicate with another device over a carrier network of the service provider.
