1. A method comprising:
- detecting, via a radio frequency identification (“
RFID”
) tag, a state of a device that is communicatively coupled to the RFID tag; and
providing a setting to the device via the RFID tag when the state signifies that the device is nonoperational.

Abstract
A method and system for remotely configuring and/or provisioning a device that is nonoperational is provided. The device may be, in general, any electronic device that includes at least one setting (“device setting”) that can be programmatically or otherwise established or adjusted to configure and/or provision the device for its operation. The method includes detecting, via a radio frequency identification (“RFID”) tag, a state of a device that is communicatively coupled to the RFID tag; and providing the device setting via the RFID tag when the state signifies that the device is nonoperational.

32. A method comprising:
-
receiving, at a first device from a source of electromagnetic energy via a wireless medium, an emission of energy for powering the first device, wherein the first device is adapted to excite a radio frequency identification (“
RFID”
) tag, and wherein the first device has stored thereon a setting for transfer to a second device that is communicatively coupled to the RFID tag;exciting the RFID tag responsive to receiving the emission of energy; detecting, via the RFID tag, a state of the second device; and providing the setting to the second device via the RFID tag when the state signifies that the second device is nonoperational. - View Dependent Claims (33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42)
