1. A method comprising:
- transmitting at least current access point information from a terminal, wherein the current access point information includes terminal-related information that is specific to the terminal;
receiving updated access point information specific to the terminal in response to providing the current access point information, wherein the updated access point information is determined based on the terminal-related information; and
configuring the terminal to enable data communication via an access point identifiable from the updated access point information.

Abstract
Systems, apparatuses, computer program products, and methods for dynamically customizing and/or configuring applications on devices. Current access point information associated with the terminal is transmitted from the terminal. In response to providing this current access point information, the terminal receives updated access point information via the network. The terminal is configured to enable data communication by way of an access point identifiable from the updated access point information, rather than from any prior access points.

23. An apparatus comprising:
-
storage to store terminal-related information including an identification of at least one current access point by which a terminal can access a network, wherein the terminal-related information is specific to the terminal; a transmitter; a processing system coupled to the storage and configured to cause the transmitter to direct at least some of the terminal-related information to a network element; a receiver configured to receive identification of at least one updated access point from the network element, wherein the updated access point information is specific to the terminal and is determined based on the terminal-related information; and wherein the processing system is further configured to replace at least one of the current access points with the at least one updated access point. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27)

31. A method comprising:
-
receiving terminal-related information from a terminal, wherein the terminal-related information is specific to the terminal and includes at least current access point information for the terminal; obtaining updated access point information that is specific to the terminal using at least some of the terminal-specific, terminal-related information, wherein the updated access point information includes at least one updated access point by which the terminal can gain access to a network; and transmitting the updated access point information to the terminal, thereby facilitating replacement of a current access point with the at least one updated access point at the terminal. - View Dependent Claims (32)
