Over-the-air content management of wireless equipment in confined-coverage wireless networks
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- determining, by a device comprising a processor, classification data associated with a user equipment; and
based on the classification data, facilitating, by the device, a transfer of over-the-air content from a confined-coverage access point device to the user equipment, wherein the facilitating the transfer comprises facilitating the transfer subsequent to a coupling of the user equipment with the confined-coverage access point device, and wherein the over-the-air content has been downloaded to the confined-coverage access point device prior to the coupling.

Abstract
Content of wireless equipment (WE) is managed over-the-air (OTA). Content is germane to feature(s) of the WE and is related to operation thereof. Management of the content is automatically implemented in response to attachment of the WE to a confined-coverage access point (AP). The WE and a network server enable, in part, such management. The confined-coverage AP enables exchange of signaling and data associated with management of the content amongst the WE and the network server. Content includes software (SW); management OTA of SW can include update of an in-use version of a SW application or related SW component(s). SW update signaling can comprise message(s) conveying a WE identifier and in-use version(s) of SW; request(s) for an update instruction; request(s) for at least one file associated with the SW; or message(s) indicative of availability of version(s) of SW newer than the in-use version(s).

10. A system, comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising; determining classification data associated with a user equipment, and based on the classification data, facilitating a transfer of over-the-air content from a confined-coverage access point device to the user equipment, wherein the facilitating the transfer comprises facilitating the transfer subsequent to determining that the user equipment has coupled to the confined-coverage access point device, and wherein the over-the-air content has been downloaded to the confined-coverage access point device prior to a coupling of the user equipment with the confined-coverage access point device. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
-
determining category data associated with a user equipment, and based on the category data, directing, to the user equipment, over-the-air content stored within a data store of a confined-coverage access point device, wherein the directing comprises directing the over-the-air content in response to a coupling of the user equipment with the confined-coverage access point device, and wherein the over-the-air content has been stored within the data store prior to the coupling. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
