Abstract
A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a system having a controller to collect a plurality of User Interface (UI) device configurations, receive a request from a computing device to download one or more of the plurality of UI device configurations, and transmit to the computing device the one or more UI device configurations requested to configure one or more UI devices of the computing device. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a memory to store instructions;
- and
- a processor coupled with the memory, wherein the processor responsive to executing the instructions performs operations comprising:
- receiving peripheral device settings over a network, wherein the peripheral device settings are configured for use by a peripheral device, the peripheral device being a portable device that is separate from and configured for communication with a first computing device via at least one of a hardwire connection or a wireless connection;
- storing the peripheral device settings in the memory, wherein the memory is remote from the first computing device;
- receiving a request over the network from a second computing device for the peripheral device settings, wherein the second computing device is remote from the system and the memory;
- and
- providing the peripheral device settings to the second computing device responsive to the request to enable a user to utilize the peripheral device settings.
A computer-readable storage device comprising instructions which, responsive to being executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving peripheral device settings over a network, wherein the peripheral device settings are configured for use by a peripheral device;
- storing the peripheral device settings in a memory that is accessible to the processor;
- receiving a request over the network from a computing device for the peripheral device settings, wherein the computing device is remote from the processor and the memory;
- and
- providing the peripheral device settings to the computing device responsive to the request to enable a user to utilize the peripheral device settings at the computing device, the peripheral device being a portable device that is separate from and configured for communication with the computing device via at least one of a hardwire connection or a wireless connection.
A method comprising:
- transmitting, by a computing device, a request over a network to a server for peripheral device settings, wherein the peripheral device settings are stored in a memory that is accessible by the server;
- receiving, by the computing device, the peripheral device settings over the network from the server responsive to the request;
- configuring, by the computing device, a peripheral device with the peripheral device settings;
- and
- enabling a user to utilize the peripheral device with the peripheral device settings at the computing device when the peripheral device is in communication with the computing device, the peripheral device being a portable device that is separate from and configured for communication with the computing device via at least one of a hardwire connection or a wireless connection.
