Abstract
A method of storing configuration data for mobile computing devices can comprise the steps of providing a master configuration file including one or more parameter records and providing a device file including one or more device records. Each parameter record can map a parameter value to a parameter identifier. Each device record can map a parameter identifier to a mobile computing device identifier.
Claims22
A method of storing configuration data for mobile computing devices, said method comprising the steps of:
- providing a master configuration file including one or more parameter records for multiple mobile computing devices or types of mobile computing devices, each parameter record mapping a parameter value to a parameter identifier;
- and
- providing a device file including one or more device records, each device record mapping a parameter identifier to a mobile computing device identifier;
- wherein the parameter records are consistent for the multiple mobile computing devices or types of computing devices.
A method of configuring a mobile computing device, said method comprising the steps of:
- reading a device file to select one or more device records comprising one or more parameter identifiers corresponding to an identifier of said mobile computing device;
- reading a master configuration file to select one or more parameter records comprising parameter values corresponding to said one or more parameter identifiers, wherein said master configuration file includes one or more parameter records for multiple mobile computing devices or types of mobile computing devices;
- and
- configuring said mobile computing device by assigning said parameter values to said one or more parameter identifiers;
- wherein the parameter records are consistent for the multiple mobile computing devices or types of computing devices.
