Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for mobile communication device configuration are disclosed. In one example, communications are established with a computing device and a use region is identified. A mobile communication device configuration profile is selected corresponding to the use region and implemented at a mobile communication device.
Claims22
A mobile communication device configuration device comprising:
- a Universal Serial Bus interface adapted to interface with a computing device coupled to a communications network;
- a transceiver configured for wireless communications with a mobile communication device;
- and
- a memory storing two or more region configuration profiles and an application program comprising computer executable instructions configured to detect region data from the computing device following coupling of the Universal Serial Bus interface to a Universal Serial Bus interface at the computing device and responsively select a region configuration profile from among the two or more region configuration profiles, the region configuration profile comprising settings associated with operation of the mobile communication device, wherein the application program further comprises instructions to issue an over-the-air batch file and activation command to auto-configure the mobile communication device with the region configuration profile, instructions to modify a mobile communication device configuration device configuration to match the mobile communication device for security purposes to complete the process, and instructions to implement registration between the mobile communication device configuration device and the mobile communication device, and wherein the region data from the computing device comprises a time zone information, a user information, or a country code identifier.

A method for configuration of a head-worn device comprising:
- storing two or more region configuration profiles by a mobile communication device configuration device;
- establishing communications with a personal computer;
- identifying a use location from the personal computer following coupling of a Universal Serial Bus interface of the mobile communication configuration device to a Universal Serial Bus interface at the personal computer, wherein the identifying is performed utilizing a region data obtained from the personal computer, the region data comprising a time zone information, a user information, or a country code identifier;
- selecting a region configuration profile corresponding to the use location;
- issuing an over-the-air batch file and activation command to the head-worn device to auto-configure the head-worn device with the head-worn device configuration profile;
- implementing the head-worn device configuration profile at the head-worn device,
- wherein the head-worn device configuration profile comprises settings associated with operation of the head-worn device;
- modifying a configuration device configuration to match the head-worn device;
- and
- implementing registration between the configuration device and the head-worn device for security purposes to complete the process.

A mobile communication device comprising:
- a processor;
- a microphone;
- a speaker;
- a short range wireless transceiver adapted for communications with a configuration device in proximity to the mobile communication device utilizing a short range wireless communications protocol, wherein the configuration device stores two or more region configuration profiles and an application program comprising computer executable instructions configured to detect region data from a personal computer following coupling of a Universal Serial Bus interface of the configuration device to a Universal Serial Bus interface at the personal computer and responsively select a region configuration profile from among the two or more region configuration profiles, the region configuration profile comprising settings associated with operation of the mobile communication device;
- and
- a memory storing a configuration application comprising instructions to receive an over-the-air batch file and activation command from the configuration device to auto-configure the mobile communication device with the region configuration profile, and instructions to implement registration between the configuration device and the mobile communication device for security purposes to complete the process, the region data comprising a time zone information, a user information, or a country code identifier, the configuration device further modifying a configuration device configuration to match the mobile communication device.
