METHOD FOR MANAGING DEVICE CONFIGURATIONS USING CONFIGURATION TEMPLATES

摘要

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, identifying a configuration of a second end user device that includes device data and applications, generating a configuration template associated with the second end user device, providing a first end user device with access to the configuration template for enabling the first end user device to be configured, detecting an adjustment to the configuration of the second end user device, and transmitting a notification of a configuration change at the second end user device responsive to the detecting of the adjustment to enable the first end user device to be reconfigured according to the adjustment to the configuration of the second end user device. Other embodiments are disclosed.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
initiating, by a second end user device, a template creation process for generating a configuration template associated with the second end user device; enabling identification of a configuration of the second end user device that includes device data and applications of the second end user device; presenting, by the second end user device, configuration limitation options for removing a subset of the device data and the applications of the second end user device from the configuration template; receiving, by the second end user device, user input indicating a selection of the configuration limitation options to generate a limited configuration template associated with the second end user device; providing, by the second end user device, the limited configuration template to a system including a processor for enabling a first end user device to access the limited configuration template and for enabling the first end user device to be configured according to the limited configuration template; adjusting, by the second end user device, the configuration of the second end user device; and transmitting, by the second end user device, configuration change information responsive to the adjusting of the configuration, wherein the transmitting of the configuration change information enables the first end user device to be reconfigured according to the adjusting of the configuration of the second end user device.
