Systems and methods for device configuration and activation with automated privacy law compliance

摘要

A dual-path out-of-box experience for automating a quick, simple and restricted configuration, or a full configuration, of a device. The simple configuration allows a user to operate the device to access restricted applications and device resources. The full configuration includes performing, by an international privacy law analysis module, processes for determining applicable privacy law based on a user's location information, and for showing compliance with applicable privacy law. Processes include obtaining a user's consent to the terms of a privacy policy, and verifying a user's authority to consent to the terms of the privacy policy.

主权项

1. A device configured to provide automated device configuration and privacy law compliance, comprising:
one or more processors of the device executing instructions read from a computer-readable storage medium, the instructions, which when executed at device initialization, causing the device to perform a method comprising: determining a configuration path selected from a simple path and a full path; if the simple path is determined, identifying device applications and resources for a restricted configuration, and applying the restricted device configuration to allow access to the identified device applications and resources; if the full path is determined, initializing a privacy policy analysis module, which executes a method comprising:
determining a location information of the device;determining based on the location information one or more privacy policy requirements applicable to use of the device at the location information;providing one or more privacy policy disclosures at a privacy module interface based on the one or more privacy policy requirements applicable to the location information;acquiring via the privacy module interface an information needed to comply with the privacy policy requirements applicable to the location information;confirming whether the information acquired via the privacy module interface meets the privacy policy requirements applicable to the location information; andapplying a configuration on the device that corresponds to an extent to which the privacy policy requirements applicable to the location information are met by the information acquired via the privacy module interface.
