Patent attributes
A computing device receives one or more idle state conditions that indicate an idle device state for a class of devices associated with the computing device. The computing device receives an over the air (OTA) update of a firmware of the computing device, where the OTA update is to be applied by the computing device responsive to detecting the idle device state of the computing device. The computing device identifies a device state of the computing device and determines whether the device state satisfies the one or more idle state conditions. Responsive to determining that the first device state of the computing device satisfies the one or more idle state conditions, the computing device applies the OTA update of the firmware to the computing device.
