Fast provisioning of a multi-function device

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having instructions encoded thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform the steps including:

• collecting a plurality of signals transmitted by a plurality of client devices, the plurality of signals describing state information of the plurality of client devices;
• predicting a configuration from a plurality of possible configurations, the predicting based on the collected plurality of signals;
• prepopulating a plurality of configuration fields of a user interface with the predicted configuration, the user interface displayed on an administrator client;
• receiving, from the administrator client, a signal describing a confirmation of a correct predicted configuration or a signal describing a modified configuration, the modified configuration generated by an administrator on the administrator client responsive to an incorrect predicted configuration;
• and
• configuring a target client device with a final configuration, the final configuration comprising the predicted configuration or the modified configuration;
• wherein the state information in the plurality of signals indicates at least one of orientation, location, nearby users, and attachments to external devices of the plurality of client devices.

A system comprising:

• a computer processor;
• and
• a computer-readable storage medium coupled to the computer processor, the computer-readable storage medium storing executable code, the code when executed by the computer processor performs steps comprising:
• collecting a plurality of signals transmitted by a plurality of client devices, the plurality of signals describing state information of the plurality of client devices;
• predicting a configuration from a plurality of possible configurations, the predicting based on the collected plurality of signals;
• prepopulating a plurality of configuration fields of a user interface with the predicted configuration, the user interface displayed on an administrator client;
• receiving, from the administrator client, a signal describing a confirmation of a correct predicted configuration or a signal describing a modified configuration, the modified configuration generated by an administrator on the administrator client responsive to an incorrect predicted configuration;
• and
• configuring a target client device with a final configuration, the final configuration comprising the predicted configuration or the modified configuration;
• wherein the state information in the plurality of signals indicates at least one of orientation, location, nearby users, and attachments to external devices of the plurality of client devices.
