OPERATING SYSTEM CUSTOMIZATION

摘要

Technology disclosed herein includes a method for loading a carrier specific operating system (OS) onto a computing device depending on any corporation the computing device is associated with and the network the computing device is connected to. The computing device detects any corporation the computing device is associated with based on the subscriber number of the computing device. The computing device detects an identity of a network by examining a subscriber identification module (SIM) card electronically connected to the device. The device then sends a request including the identity of the corporation and the network to a remote registration service. In turn the device receives an instruction from the remote registration service identifying a distribution of an OS specific for the corporation and the network. After retrieving the OS distribution, the device loads the distribution of the OS on the computing device.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, from a computing device connected to a first network and executing a first distribution of an operating system corresponding to the first network, an identity of a corporate account of a user associated with the computing device, the identity of the corporate account being identified based on a subscriber number of the computing device, the subscriber number being one of the one or more subscriber numbers associated with the corporate account; receiving, from the computing device, an identity of a second network the computing device is connected to; determining, based on a predefined policies, whether to install a second distribution of the operating system on the computing device, the second distribution of the operating system customized based on the identified corporate account associated with the user and the identity of the second network, the identified corporate account being utilized to customize the operating system by applying user interface settings or installing applications specific to the identified corporate account; responsive to a determination to install the second distribution of the operating system on the computing device, transmitting the customized second distribution of the operating system to the computing device; causing the computing device to install the second distribution of the operating system in the computing device; and causing the computing device to execute the second distribution of the operating system.
