Abstract

Disclosed are various approaches for cloning the device state of one device onto another. First, a device state of a first device can be obtained, where the device state includes a plurality of state features. Next, a prompt to select one or more preferred features from the plurality of state features can be generated. Then, a selection of one or more preferred features can be received. Finally, the one or more preferred features can be pushed to a second device.

Claims (46)

1 . A system, comprising:

a computing device comprising a processor and a memory; and

machine-readable instructions stored in the memory that, when executed by the processor, cause the computing device to at least:

obtain a device state of a first device, the device state including a plurality of state features;

generate a prompt to select one or more preferred features from the plurality of state features;

receive a selection of one or more preferred features; and

push the one or more preferred features to a second device.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the machine-readable instructions cause the computing device to obtain the device state in response to receipt of a clone request to clone the device state onto the second device.

3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the machine-readable instructions further cause the computing device to at least:

receive a registration request for the second device, the registration request comprising at least a client identifier; and

register the second device to a client account associated with the client identifier and the first device.

4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the machine-readable instructions further cause the computing device to at least send to the first device the prompt to select one or more preferred features.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the machine-readable instructions further cause the computing device to at least send to the second device the prompt to select one or more preferred features.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the machine-readable instructions further cause the computing device to at least:

receive an installation success notification indicating that the one or more preferred features were successfully installed on the second device; and

send a cloning success notification to the first device.

7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more preferred features comprises one or more applications, profiles, or certificates identified in the device state of the first device.

8 . A method, comprising:

obtaining, by a computing device, a device state of a first device, the device state including a plurality of state features;

generating, by the computing device, a prompt to select one or more preferred features from the plurality of state features;

receiving, by the computing device, a selection of one or more preferred features; and

pushing, by the computing device, the one or more preferred features to a second device.

9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the device state is obtained in response to receiving, by the computing device, a clone request to clone the device state onto the second device.

10 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

receiving, by the computing device, a registration request for the second device, the registration request comprising at least a client identifier; and

registering, by the computing device, the second device to a client account associated with the client identifier and the first device.

11 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising sending the prompt to the first device to select one or more preferred features.

12 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising sending the prompt to the second device to select one or more preferred features.

13 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

receiving, by the computing device, an installation success notification indicating that the one or more preferred features were successfully installed on the second device; and

sending, by the computing device, a cloning success notification to the first device.

14 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the one or more preferred features comprises one or more applications, profiles, or certificates identified in the device state of the first device.

15 . A non-transitory, computer-readable medium, comprising machine readable instructions that, when executed by a processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to at least:

obtain a device state of a first device, the device state including a plurality of state features;

generate a prompt to select one or more preferred features from the plurality of state features;

receive a selection of one or more preferred features; and

push the one or more preferred features to a second device.

16 . The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the machine-readable cause the computing device to obtain the device state in response to receipt of a clone request to clone the device state onto the second device.

17 . The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the machine-readable instructions further cause the computing device to at least:

receive a registration request for the second device, the registration request comprising at least a client identifier; and

register the second device to a client account associated with the client identifier and the first device.

18 . The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the machine-readable instructions further cause the computing device to at least send the prompt to select one or more preferred features to the first device.

19 . The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the machine-readable instructions further cause the computing device to at least send the prompt to select one or more preferred features to the second device.

20 . The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the machine-readable instructions further cause the computing device to at least:

receive an installation success notification indicating that the one or more preferred features were successfully installed on the second device; and

send a cloning success notification to the first device.
