Patent ID: 8706874

Claim:
A method comprising: registering at least one target computing device with a request processing module of a server computing device and an application executing on a client computing device communicatively coupled to the server computing device; initiating, through the application executing on the client computing device, a request to configure a hardware setting on the at least one target computing device based on a communication mechanism; processing, through the request processing module, the request to generate a validated message related to the hardware setting configuration and to extract information related to a first identifier of the at least one target computing device, a second identifier of a hardware of the at least one target computing device to which the hardware setting is to be applied, and a third identifier of the hardware setting; redirecting, through the request processing module, the validated message to the at least one target computing device along with the extracted information; and interpreting, through another application executing on the at least one target computing device, the received validated message and the extracted information to enable application of the hardware setting to the hardware of the at least one target computing device.
