Abstract
In one implementation, a system providing remote access set-up for electronic devices includes a mobile device and a profile server communicatively coupled to the mobile device via a network. The profile server includes a hardware processor, and a server memory storing a profile management software code and a profile information associated with a user of the mobile device. The hardware processor executes the profile management software code to receive, via the network, a platform ID of a configurable hardware platform communicatively coupled to the mobile device, and to determine, based on the platform ID, platform assets including a default configuration associated with the configurable hardware platform. The hardware processor further executes the profile management software code to determine, based on the profile information and the default configuration, a user specific configuration for the configurable hardware platform, and to transmit the user specific configuration to configure the configurable hardware platform.
Background
BACKGROUND (1) In an increasingly globalized economy, improvements in device compatibility and user accessibility across hardware platforms have become significant priorities in electronic design. Nevertheless, at present, most consumer electronic devices require that a user be in close physical proximity to a device in order to access the individual device configuration set-up options. Moreover, in some instances, users may be unfamiliar with a particular electronic device and may encounter difficulty in accessing its configuration options. Further adding to the burdens and inconvenience associated with electronic device configuration is that a user preferred configuration set-up applied to one device is typically not transferable to other devices. SUMMARY (2) There are provided systems and methods for standardized remote access set-up for electronic devices, substantially as shown in and/or described in connection with at least one of the figures, and as set forth more completely in the claims.
Claims
1. A system comprising: a profile server communicatively coupled to a mobile device via a network, the profile server having a hardware processor and a server memory storing a profile management software code and a user profile information associated with a user of the mobile device; wherein the hardware processor is configured to execute the profile management software code to: receive, via the network, a platform ID of a configurable hardware platform communicatively coupled to the mobile device, the configurable hardware platform being a television having a television channel line-up set to a first channel line-up, wherein the first channel line-up is a default television programming channel line-up; determine, based on the user profile information and the platform ID, a second channel line-up, wherein the second channel line-up is a user specific television programming channel line-up different than the first channel line-up; transmit the second channel line-up to the television to change the television channel line-up from the first channel line-up to the second channel line-up; and after transmitting the second channel line-up to the television, in response to determining that the mobile device is no longer communicatively coupled to the television, transmit a reversion communication to the television, wherein the reversion communication is configured to change and revert the television channel line-up from the second channel line-up back to the first channel line-up. ||
11. A method for use by a system including a profile server communicatively coupled to a mobile device via a network, the profile server having a hardware processor and a server memory storing a profile management software code and a user profile information associated with a user of the mobile device, the method comprising: receiving, via the network, a platform ID of a configurable hardware platform communicatively coupled to the mobile device, the configurable hardware platform being a television having a television channel line-up set to a first channel line-up, wherein the first channel line-up is a default television programming channel line-up; determining, based on the user profile information and the platform ID, a second channel line-up, wherein the second channel line-up is a user specific television programming channel line-up different than the first channel line-up; transmitting the second channel line-up to the television to change the television channel line-up from the first channel line-up to the second channel line-up; and after transmitting the second channel line-up to the television, in response to determining that the mobile device is no longer communicatively coupled to the television, transmitting a reversion communication to the television, wherein the reversion communication is configured to change and revert the television channel line-up from the second channel line-up back to the first channel line-up.
