摘要:
A rule server detects a condition pertaining to a switch of a user device to a preferred wireless carrier, and sends a message to the user device indicating a switch to the preferred wireless carrier.
摘要:
A user device determines a current subscriber identity module (SIM) profile, identifies a modem profile that corresponds to the current SIM profile, and updates a non-volatile memory of a modem with the identified modem profile.
摘要:
A user device obtains a device profile corresponding to a primary wireless network at a current location of the user device, reprograms a modem of the user device using the device profile corresponding to the primary wireless network at the current location of the user device, and establishes a network connection using the device profile corresponding to the primary wireless network at the current location of the user device.
摘要:
A user device determines whether a modem specifies at least one network present at a current geographical location of the user device. When the modem does not specify any present networks, the user device identifies one of the present networks that is available to provide a roaming service to the user device, and adds the identified network to a list of preferred networks in the modem.

An item-providing system supplies items to a user device for consumption at the user device via communication infrastructure. The device may correspond to a book reader device or other type of device. The item-providing system uses a content delivery module to deliver the items to the user device.
摘要:
A user device receives a command to transmit information over a first wireless connection and an additional command to transmit additional information over a second wireless connection. The user device identifies the first wireless connection as being a lower priority connection than the second wireless connection. The user device then throttles a transmit power level for the lower priority connection.
摘要:
A user device transmits data at a first transmit power level. The user device detects a presence of a human body part within a predetermined distance from an antenna of the user device using one or more sensors disposed at a back side of the user device. In response to the detection of the presence of the human body part, the user device transmits information at a second transmit power level that is less than the first transmit power level.

A single integrated circuit chip interfaces device control circuitry of a device to a client machine via a computer network. The chip comprises an internal data bus; a central processing unit connected to the internal data bus; an internal memory connected to the internal data bus; a device interface connected to the internal data bus, wherein the device interface comprises circuit blocks for communicating digital information between the integrated circuit and the device control circuitry; and a network interface connected to the internal data bus, wherein the network interface comprises circuit blocks for communicating digital information between the integrated circuit and the computer network. The internal memory comprises instructions for implementing complete internet protocol functionality on the network; translating information between network protocol formats and a format of the device; transferring information between the network and the device control circuitry; and sending customized software to the client machine over the network, wherein the software is executable on the client machine, and wherein the software enables the client machine to generate device control signals and to receive device status information. The single integrated circuit chip provides inexpensive, compact, powerful, and versatile interfacing of a large variety of devices to high performance computer networks.
摘要:
Simplified wireless device activation may be achieved using temporary and permanent numbers used to connect to a wireless service provider. In one implementation, an electronic book reader device includes a memory that contains a temporary number that may be used to connect to a wireless service provider. The temporary number may be replaced with a permanent number that is used to connect to the wireless service provider. This replacement may occur once the electronic book reader device connects with the wireless service provider for the first time. The permanent number may be used to connect to the wireless service provider after the initial connection with the wireless service provider has transpired.
