Abstract
Described herein are systems and methods for managing and distributing device and/or software settings. In some embodiments, the systems and methods permit a first device to upload settings information and/or user information to a network server. The network server may store such settings information and post it for download by at least one second device. Mechanisms for establishing a trust rating for such settings information are also described.

At least one computer readable medium having settings management instructions stored thereon, which when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform the following operations comprising:
- receive settings information from a first device with a network server, said settings information correlating to settings associated with at least one of said first device and software executed on said first device;
- receive user information from said first device with said network server;
- store said settings information and said user information in a network storage;
- correlate said user information to said settings information;
- and
- post said settings information for download by at least one second device.
A system, comprising:
- at least one device comprising:
- a host processor;
- and
- a settings management module executed on said host processor, wherein said settings management module is operable to:
- receive settings information inputs;
- store said settings information inputs to a memory of said device;
- and
- cause said device to transmit said settings information to a network server for storage on a network storage;
- said settings management module being further operable to enable browsing and downloading of settings information stored on said network storage with said device.
A method, comprising:
- receiving settings information from a first device with a network server, said settings information correlating to settings associated with at least one of said first device and software executed on said first device;
- receiving user information from said first device with said network server;
- storing said settings information and said user information in a network storage;
- correlating said user information with said settings information;
- and
- posting said settings information for download by at least one second device.
