Automated configuring of computer system settings for peripheral device(s)

A system for configuring system settings of a computer for a peripheral device, the system comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor communicatively coupled to the memory, wherein the system performs a method comprising:
• detecting that a peripheral device has been connected to the computer;
• based on the detecting, ascertaining profile-related data, the profile-related data comprising user data of a current user of the computer and location data of a current geographic location of the computer for use in configuring the system settings of the computer for the peripheral device connected to the computer, the location data of the current geographic location of the computer including environment image data that includes data of one or more images capturing an environment in which the computer is currently located, and the user data of the current user of the computer including user image data obtained by capturing an image of the current user;
• comparing the ascertained profile-related data to saved settings profiles for one or more peripheral devices, the saved settings profiles including location-specific settings profiles for differently configuring the one or more peripheral devices at multiple specific locations and user-specific settings profiles for differently configuring the one or more peripheral devices for multiple specific users, the saved settings profiles facilitating automatic configuration of the system settings of the computer for the one or more peripheral devices based on transport of the computer between the multiple specific locations, the user-specific settings profiles including saved environment images associated with the multiple specific locations and saved user images associated with the multiple specific users;
• determining, based on the comparing, whether the saved settings profiles include a settings profile having a location-specific settings profile and a user-specific settings profile for configuring the system settings of the computer for the peripheral device for the current user at the current geographic location, the settings profile being based on the system settings of the computer for the peripheral device having been previously configured at the current geographic location for the current user, and the determining being based on whether there is a rule set match identifying the settings profile for the peripheral device that is specific to the current user at the current geographic location, the rule set match being based, at least in part, on image analytics that determines whether the environment image data of the environment in which the computer is currently located matches one of the saved environment images associated with the multiple specific locations, and the rule set match being based, at least in part, on facial recognition that determines whether the user image data of the current user matches one of the saved user images associated with the multiple specific users;
• based on the determining resulting in the rule set match being unsuccessful, use user-provided data to configure the system settings of the computer for the peripheral device, the configuring including generating a new settings profile using the data of the one or more images capturing the environment in which the computer is currently located and using the user image data obtained by capturing the image of the current user, the new settings profile being saved for future use;
• and
• based on the determining resulting in the rule set match being successful, automatically configure the system settings associated with the peripheral device connected to the computer, the configuring using the identified settings profile that is specific to the current user for the current geographic location to configure the system settings of the computer.
