10. A system for implementing device regionalization, comprising:
-
means for reading a region code embedded within a device component;
means for providing the region code to a user computer; and
means for presenting component information to a device user on the user computer that identifies components that are available for the device in a region indicated by the region code. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
