A method in a server includes: storing, in a memory of the server, an energy consumption definition corresponding to a client device, the energy consumption definition including: (i) a plurality of operational states of the client device, and (ii) an estimation mechanism for each operational state; receiving, from the client device, operational data including an active one of the operational states at the client device, and a time period associated with the active operational state; generating, based on the operational data and the estimation mechanism corresponding to the active operational state, an estimated energy consumption for the client device; in response to generating the estimated energy consumption, obtaining an updated configuration setting for the client device; and transmitting the updated configuration setting to the client device to alter energy consumption at the client device.

Systems and methods for tracking and controlling energy consumption in fleets of electronic devices

A method in a server includes: storing, at the server, a configuration update definition including (i) criteria, and (ii) configuration update payload data; obtaining at the server, from a computing device having a connection to a wireless local area network (WLAN), a parameter of the connection; determining whether the parameter satisfies the criteria of the configuration update definition; and in response to determining that the parameter satisfies the criteria, transmitting the configuration update payload data to the computing device.

Dynamic network configuration for printers

A system for choosing a printer based on proximity comprising: a beacon to broadcast a transmission having a beacon ID; a printer to: receive the transmission, determine a received signal strength indicator for the transmission, generate a printer location signal including the beacon ID, the received signal strength indicator, and a printer ID associated with the printer, and transmit the printer location signal to a host server; the host server including a processor and a memory, the server configured to: receive the printer location signal from the printer, determine a printer location based on a predetermined location of the beacon, the beacon ID, and the received signal strength indicator, and associate the printer location with a printer zone; a printer proximity application to: receive a print request, the print request including a print data and a target zone, and transmit the print data to the printer in the target zone.
