Mobile Device User Profile Deployment via Server Heuristics
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional methods for establishing user profiles on mobile devices consume significant computational resources and are prone to human error, particularly due to the limited resources and increased permission options on mobile devices compared to personal computers or servers.
Innovation Solution
A software and hardware facility that operates on a deployment server to generate a heuristic list of system parameters, permissions, and applications, which are then optimized for mobile devices based on their capability information, reducing the workload and computational resources needed by allowing administrators to create a single deployment sequence for multiple devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional methods are used to establish user profiles on mobile devices, then comprehensive user profiles with multiple permissions can be created, but significant computational resources are consumed and human error increases
Solution Approach 1:
A deployment server is introduced as an intermediary between administrators and mobile devices. The server generates deployment sequences that automate user profile establishment, reducing direct human interaction and computational burden on mobile devices while improving accuracy through standardized, error-free deployment processes
Solution Approach 2:
User profiles and deployment sequences are prepared in advance on the deployment server before being deployed to mobile devices. This preliminary action allows for thorough validation and optimization of profiles without consuming mobile device resources during actual use
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple user profiles are manually configured on multiple mobile devices, then each device can be customized, but administrative time and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The deployment server provides a universal platform that can generate and deploy user profiles across multiple different mobile devices simultaneously. A single deployment sequence can be applied to numerous devices, maintaining customization capabilities while dramatically reducing administrative time and effort
Solution Approach 2:
The user profile configuration process is segmented into template creation on the deployment server and automated deployment to individual devices. This separation allows administrators to create profiles once and automatically distribute them to multiple devices, reducing repetitive manual configuration work
3Adaptability or versatility
If comprehensive permissions are provided on mobile devices, then user functionality is enhanced, but the complexity of managing these permissions increases
Solution Approach 1:
Permission configurations are predetermined and validated on the deployment server before deployment. This preliminary setup ensures that complex permission structures are properly configured once, then automatically applied to multiple devices without requiring manual management of each permission on each device
Solution Approach 2:
The deployment server acts as an intermediary that manages the complexity of permission configurations centrally. It translates high-level user requirements into detailed permission settings, handling the complexity away from mobile devices and administrators while maintaining comprehensive permission capabilities

AI summary
A method to establish a user profile on a mobile device includes receiving an input from an operator; generating at least one heuristic list from the input; querying capability information from the mobile device; preparing a deployment sequence from the heuristic list and the capability information; executing the deployment sequence; causing the mobile device to invoke a command from the deployment sequence; preparing a test sequence; causing the mobile device to invoke a test command; and verifying an output of the test command with an expected output.
