Systems and methods are provided herein for configuring a device. In some embodiments, a device identifier associated with a target device is received from a service provider computer. A connection request comprising the device identifier is received. In response to receiving the connection request, the target device is configured to connect to a network access point. A request for configuration information associated with the target device may be requested. In some examples, the configuration information comprises authentication information associated with a user account. In response to receiving the configuration information, the configuration information may be transmitted to the target device. The transmission of the configuration information may cause the target device to be configured to exchange data with the service provider computer.

Techniques for device discovery and configuration

A secure messaging system identifies sensitive or restricted content within electronic messages such as E-mail, SMS or MMS text messages, or social network messages, and stores files including such content in a secure folder or bucket. After a first electronic message is identified as including sensitive or restricted content, a file including the sensitive or restricted content is stored in the secure folder or bucket, and a second electronic message including a link to the file or the secure folder or bucket is sent to each of the intended recipients of the first electronic message. When a recipient selects the link, the sensitive or restricted content is provided to the recipient over a secure connection (e.g., an SSL connection) rather than via E-mail. Additionally, recipients of the second electronic message may be authenticated by any method, e.g., an access policy and/or a single or multi-level authentication process.

Secure cloud-based messaging and storage

A system to select and reposition inventory items on one or more shelving units is disclosed. The system can include a robotic positioning system (RPS) to move inventory items on a shelf to the front of the shelf, or off the shelf, to facilitate selection, delivery, and restocking of the inventory item. The RPS can include a movement system to enable it to position itself behind a particular inventory item on a shelf. The RPS can also include a positioner to enable the RPS to move the inventory item backward and forward on the shelf. The RPS can be mounted on a free-standing frame to enable movement in two axes and repositioning of inventory items in a third axis. The RPS can also be centrally mounted in a shelving unit and can move vertically and rotate about a single axis to reposition inventory items radially.
