Code based configuration of mobile devices
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.
1. A processor implemented method of configuring an application on a smart phone device comprising a code reading device, the method comprising
reading a code associated with a first application with the code reading device, the code relating to an organization, wherein the code comprises an organization identification (ID) related to the organization;
identifying at least one parameter associated with the organization ID; and
configuring the at least one parameter of the first application of the smart phone 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 smart phone 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.
4. The method of claim 1 , 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.
5. 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.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the response comprises the at least one parameter of the first application.
7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the message identifies the first application.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the message comprises version information for the first application.
9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
setting at least one parameter of a second application of the smart phone device based on the code, the parameter corresponding to the organization.
10. A non-transitory machine-readable memory storing statements and instructions for execution by a processor for implementing of configuring an application on a smart phone device comprising a code reading device, the method comprising:
reading a code associated with a first application with the code reading device, the code relating to an organization, wherein the code comprises an organization identification (ID) related to the organization;
identifying at least one parameter associated with the organization ID; and
configuring the at least one parameter of the first application of the smart phone device based on the code.
11. A smart phone 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 associated with a first application relating to an organization, wherein the code comprises an organization identification (ID) related to the organization;
identify at least one parameter associated with the organization ID; and
set the at least one parameter of the first application of the smart phone device based on the code.
12. The smart phone device of claim 11 , wherein the code comprises a value of the at least one parameter.
13. The smart phone device of claim 11 , 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.
14. The smart phone device of claim 11 , 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.
15. The smart phone device of claim 14 , wherein the response comprises the at least one parameter of the first application.
16. The smart phone device of claim 14 , wherein the message identifies the first application.
17. The smart phone device of claim 11 , 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.
18. The smart phone device of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
set at least one parameter of a second application of the smart phone device based on the code, the parameter corresponding to the organization.
