System, device, and method for administration of an electronic communications device in a communications network
First Claim
1. A non-transitory computer readable medium configured for use in a mobile device, the non-transitory computer readable medium containing instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform steps, comprising:
- capturing, using the mobile device, an identifier associated with an electronic communications device connectable to a communications network associated with an organization;
accessing a database including information about a plurality of electronic communications devices that are part of the organization'"'"'s communications network;
retrieving information about the electronic communications device from the database;
confirming that the electronic communications device is the same electronic communications device described by the retrieved information;
presenting, on a display of the mobile device, usage information about the electronic communications device for associating the electronic communications device with a selected member of the organization, wherein network configuration setting data is associated with the selected member;
receiving an instruction to assign the electronic communications device to the selected member, wherein the instruction comprises an identification of the selected member; and
updating, based on the instruction, at least one value to reflect that the electronic communications device is assigned to the selected member, wherein the updating triggers (i) changing one or more network configuration setting of the electronic communications device based on the instruction, the at least one updated value, and the network configuration setting data associated with the selected member, and (ii) resetting the electronic communications device.

Abstract
A computer readable medium configured for use in a mobile device for assigning an electronic communications device to a selected member of an organization. The computer readable medium containing instructions that when executed by at least one processor cause the mobile device to capture an identifier associated with an electronic communications device connectable to a communications network associated with an organization. The instructions also cause the mobile device to access a database including information about a plurality of electronic communications devices that are part of the organization'"'"'s communications network. The instructions further cause the mobile device to present on a display usage information about the electronic communications device for association of the electronic communications device to a selected member of the organization. Then, the instructions may cause the mobile device to determine at least one value to reflect that the electronic communications device is assigned to the selected member.
