Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for setting user preferences and/or device configuration information are disclosed. A first user device detects a local wireless network, receives, from a second user device, configuration information and/or preference information of the second user device, the second user device having functionality similar to the first user device, and updates configuration information and/or preference information of the first user device with at least a subset of the configuration information and/or preference information received from the second user device, the configuration information and/or preference information of the first user device stored at the first user device.
Claims30
A method for setting user preferences and/or device configuration information, comprising:
- detecting, by a first user device, a local wireless network;
- receiving, from a second user device, configuration information and/or preference information of the second user device, the second user device having functionality similar to the first user device;
- and
- updating configuration information and/or preference information of the first user device with at least a subset of the configuration information and/or preference information received from the second user device, the configuration information and/or preference information of the first user device stored at the first user device.
An apparatus for setting user preferences and/or device configuration information, comprising:
- a transceiver configured to detect, at a first user device, a local wireless network, and to receive, from a second user device, configuration information and/or preference information of the second user device, the second user device having functionality similar to the first user device;
- and
- a processor configured to update configuration information and/or preference information of the first user device with at least a subset of the configuration information and/or preference information received from the second user device, the configuration information and/or preference information of the first user device stored at the first user device.
An apparatus for setting user preferences and/or device configuration information, comprising:
- means for detecting, by a first user device, a local wireless network;
- means for receiving, from a second user device, configuration information and/or preference information of the second user device, the second user device having functionality similar to the first user device;
- and
- means for updating configuration information and/or preference information of the first user device with at least a subset of the configuration information and/or preference information received from the second user device, the configuration information and/or preference information of the first user device stored at the first user device.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium for setting user preferences and/or device configuration information, comprising:
- at least one instruction for detecting, by a first user device, a local wireless network;
- at least one instruction for receiving, from a second user device, configuration information and/or preference information of the second user device, the second user device having functionality similar to the first user device;
- and
- at least one instruction for updating configuration information and/or preference information of the first user device with at least a subset of the configuration information and/or preference information received from the second user device, the configuration information and/or preference information of the first user device stored at the first user device.
