Claim 6:
7. A computer-implemented method for data transmission and diagnostics for an appliance, the method comprising:
periodically transmitting a plurality of packets from each of a plurality of appliances to a remote server through a network, wherein each packet comprises genealogical data encoded in a positional numeral system, the genealogical data comprising a configuration identifier, a manufacturer identifier, a logistical identifier, a version identifier, or combinations thereof, allowing for differentiation of one or more components of the plurality of appliances based on one or more of the configuration identifier, the manufacturer identifier, the logistical identifier, or the version identifier, wherein differentiation of one or more components of the plurality of appliances allows for differentiation of the plurality of appliances of similar model type;
receiving, at the remote server, the plurality of packets from each of the plurality of appliances;
decoding, at the remote server, the genealogical data for each of the plurality the appliances, wherein decoding comprises translating the positional numeral system to an appliance configuration corresponding to each of the plurality of appliances;
comparing, at the remote server, appliance configurations corresponding to each of the plurality of appliances, wherein comparing appliance configurations comprises identifying a trend, a correlation, a regression, an interpolation, or an extrapolation associated with the appliance configurations of the plurality of appliances; and
determining, from comparing the appliance configurations, an operational parameter adjustment corresponding to one or more of the configuration identifier, the manufacturer identifier, the logistical identifier, or the version identifier associated with one or more appliance configurations corresponding to one or more appliances of the plurality of appliances, wherein determining the operational parameter adjustment identifies a defective component associated with one or more appliance configurations.
