Abstract

A method for providing mobile device configuration may include a processor and a memory storing executable instructions that in response to execution by the processor cause the apparatus to at least perform at least receiving, remote from a mobile terminal, indications of configuration information defining appearance related features for a display of the mobile terminal, enabling provision of feedback to a user of the mobile terminal regarding the appearance related features, and providing the configuration information to the mobile terminal. A corresponding method and computer program product are also provided.

Claims (29)

1 . An apparatus comprising a processor and a memory storing executable instructions that in response to execution by the processor cause the apparatus to at least perform the following:

receiving, remote from a mobile terminal, indications of configuration information defining appearance related features for a display of the mobile terminal;

enabling provision of feedback to a user of the mobile terminal regarding the appearance related features; and

providing the configuration information to the mobile terminal.

2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the apparatus to receive indications of an application or service to be added to a home screen of the mobile terminal.

3 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the apparatus to receive indications of a device setting to be added to a home screen of the mobile terminal.

4 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the apparatus to receive indications from the mobile terminal.

5 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the apparatus to receive indications from a device other than the mobile terminal.

6 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein enabling provision of feedback to the user comprises requesting model information descriptive of the mobile terminal from the user.

7 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the instructions causing the apparatus to perform enabling provision of feedback to the user further cause the apparatus to provide for display of a preview of the home screen of the mobile terminal at the mobile terminal.

8 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the instructions causing the apparatus to perform enabling provision of feedback to the user further cause the apparatus to provide for display of a preview of the home screen of the mobile terminal at a device other than the mobile terminal.

9 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the instructions causing the apparatus to provide the configuration information to the mobile terminal further cause the apparatus to provide the configuration information to the mobile terminal in response to an instruction received at a device other than the mobile terminal.

10 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the instructions causing the apparatus to provide the configuration information to the mobile terminal further cause the apparatus to provide the configuration information to the mobile terminal in response to subsequent establishment of communication between the mobile terminal and the processor.

11 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the instructions causing the apparatus to receive indications of configuration information further cause the apparatus to receive a recommendation for an application, service feature or device setting from a suggestion engine.

12 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein, in response to receiving indications of a model number of a particular device, providing the feedback further cause the apparatus to provide a preview of display features for a home screen of the particular device.

13 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the instructions causing the apparatus to provide the configuration information to the mobile terminal further cause the apparatus to provide a predefined response for selection of an item on a home screen of the mobile terminal.

14 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the instructions causing the apparatus to provide the configuration information to the mobile terminal further cause the apparatus to provide a predefined configuration of an event log.

15 . A method comprising:

receiving, remote from a mobile terminal, indications of configuration information defining appearance related features for a display of the mobile terminal;

enabling, via a processor, provision of feedback to a user of the mobile terminal regarding the appearance related features; and

providing the configuration information to the mobile terminal.

16 . The method of claim 15 , wherein receiving indications comprises receiving indications of an application, service feature or device setting to be added to a home screen of the mobile terminal.

17 . The method of claim 15 , wherein receiving indications comprises receiving indications from the mobile terminal or a device other than the mobile terminal.

18 . A computer program product comprising at least one computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable program code instructions stored therein, the computer-executable program code instruction comprising:

program code instructions for receiving, remote from a mobile terminal, indications of configuration information defining appearance related features for a display of the mobile terminal;

program code instructions for enabling provision of feedback to a user of the mobile terminal regarding the appearance related features; and

program code instructions for providing the configuration information to the mobile terminal.

19 . The computer program product of claim 18 , wherein program code instructions for enabling provision of feedback to the user include instructions for providing for display of a preview of the home screen of the mobile terminal at the mobile terminal or at a device other than the mobile terminal.

20 . The computer program product of claim 18 , wherein program code instructions for providing the configuration information to the mobile terminal include instructions for providing the configuration information to the mobile terminal in response to an instruction received at a device other than the mobile terminal or in response to subsequent establishment of communication between the mobile terminal and the processor.
