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:
receiving, by a first end user device, user input indicating a selection of a configuration template for configuring the first end user device, wherein the configuration template includes device data for the first end user device and includes applications to be provided to the first end user device, wherein the selection of the configuration template is from a group of configuration templates, and wherein the configuration template is generated based on a determination that a second end user device is configured with the device data and the applications; configuring the first end user device according to the configuration template to generate a first configuration of the first end user device; receiving, by the first end user device, a notification of a configuration change at the second end user device, wherein the notification is generated based on monitoring for changes to the device data and the applications at the second end user device; and reconfiguring the first end user device according to the configuration change at the second end user device to generate a second configuration of the first end user device.
