    Abstract: In some implementations, a computing device can restrict the use of another computing device in certain contexts. For example, a parent may wish to use the parent's computing device to restrict her children's use of the children's computing devices while the children are in school while the children should be participating in some other activity. For example, the parent's controller device may be enabled to remotely configure and control the usage of the satellite device(s) without needing to physically access the satellite device. The parent may implement limitations, permissions, or different policies that may govern, for example, the ability of the satellite device to communicate with other devices, execute various application functionalities, run any particular software, and manage its own settings.

    Abstract: A user interface (UI) of a device configuration application includes a collection view window of device representations with each representation including a screen image that is representative of the configuration state of the corresponding device. The device configuration application UI allows for searching the devices based on their configuration states, and for configuring the devices based on a set of configuration templates displayed in a collection view window. The UI allows for customizing the configuration templates in a device-independent manner, while allowing the user to add a set of configuration rules to each template. The device configuration application provides a method for updating the actual lock screen image of devices by displaying a device identifier on the lock screen. The format of such device identifier includes a device-identifying text string and/or machine-readable code. Displaying a device identifier allows for a more efficient way of cataloging, tracking, and/or configuring devices.

    Abstract translation: 设备配置应用的用户界面(UI)包括设备表示的集合视图窗口,每个表示包括代表相应设备的配置状态的屏幕图像。 设备配置应用UI允许基于其配置状态来搜索设备,并且基于在集合视图窗口中显示的一组配置模板来配置设备。 UI允许以独立于设备的方式定制配置模板,同时允许用户向每个模板添加一组配置规则。 设备配置应用提供了通过在锁定屏幕上显示设备标识符来更新设备的实际锁屏图像的方法。 这种设备标识符的格式包括设备标识文本字符串和/或机器可读代码。 显示设备标识符允许更有效的编目,跟踪和/或配置设备的方式。

    Abstract: In the described embodiments, a device configuration file is used to set configuration settings on a computing device during a configuration operation (e.g., an initial configuration or a re-configuration of the computing device). The device configuration file is retrieved from a location where the device configuration file is hosted using a reference to the location from a bootstrap configuration. The bootstrap configuration is provided by a bootstrap configuration server and is retrieved by the computing device from the bootstrap configuration server during the configuration operation.

    Abstract: The described embodiments include a content provider device that can assign items of content (applications, digitally-rendered music, books, videos, etc.) to users upon receiving assignment messages from administrative devices. The items of content can be electronically transferred to the user's devices to be used by users. The content provider device can also revoke assignments of items of content from users upon receiving revocation messages from administrative devices. The revocation generally causes the loss of one or more rights to the item of content for the user. For example, the content provider device can stop providing services for the item of content and/or can cause the item of content to be deleted from a corresponding user's device.
