METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR MONITORING AND CONTROLLING ELECTRONIC DEVICES
First Claim
1. A device management system comprising:
- at least one management computing device comprising;
a processor, anda non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium in operable communication with the processor, wherein the computer-readable storage medium contains one or more programming instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to;
receive device information from at least one device,update a device model associated with the at least one device based on the device information, andupdate a local device model associated with the at least one device stored on at least one device agent operatively coupled to the at least one device, the at least one device agent being configured to receive device information from the at least one device and to monitor the device information based on the local device model.

Abstract
Methods and systems for managing a device are described. A device agent may receive device information associated with a device, such as information concerning operation of the device. The device agent may be configured to maintain a device model or operating protocol associated with the operation of the device, such as various operational parameters, operating characteristics and/or programs. The device agent may monitor the device based on the device information streamed, for example, in substantially real time from the device. A central management system may be in communication with the device agent and may operate to verify and/or update the device model based on the device information. The device information may be presented to client devices, for instance, through a graphical user interface. The client devices may also be able to transmit control signals to the central management system for controlling various aspects of the device.
