Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. An appliance data transmission system, the system comprising:
an appliance comprising a controller operably connected to a network computing device, the controller configured to encode genealogical data to a packet in hexadecimal format, wherein the genealogical data is 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 appliances of the same model type based on one or more of the configuration identifier, the manufacturer identifier, the logistical identifier, or the version identifier, the controller configured to periodically transmit the packet to the network computing device;
wherein the network computing device is configured to receive the packet and decode the genealogical data for the appliance, wherein decoding comprises translating the positional numeral system to an appliance configuration, and
wherein the network computing device is configured to compare genealogical data from a plurality of packets periodically received from each of a plurality of the appliances, and
wherein the network computing device is configured to compare genealogical data from the periodically transmitted packets to determine at the remote server 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 the appliances; and
wherein the network computing device is configured to compare appliance configurations to identify a trend, a correlation, a regression, an interpolation, or an extrapolation associated with the appliance configurations of the plurality of the appliances, and wherein the operational parameter adjustment identifies a defective component associated with one or more appliance configurations.
