Abstract
Systems, methods, and machine-readable media are disclosed to provide common perspectives across multiple end devices of potentially diverse types. In one embodiment, a method of providing common perspectives to multiple end devices can comprise reading one or more common perspectives from a central repository. The one or more common perspectives can define a manner in which the end devices will present data of one or more types. The one or more common perspectives can be applied to selected data and which can then be presented consistent with the one or more common perspectives.

12. A system for providing common perspectives to multiple end devices, the system comprising:
-
a communications bus;
a user profile database communicatively coupled with the communications bus and adapted to store therein user preference information for one or more of a plurality of users, the user preference information including one or more common perspectives, each common perspective defining a manner in which data of one or more types can be presented;
a first end device of a first type communicatively coupled with the communications bus and adapted to read a local perspective defined by a user of the first device and save the local perspective in the user profile database as a common perspective, and a second end device of a second type communicatively coupled with the communications bus and adapted to read one or more common perspectives from the user profile database, apply the one or more common perspectives to selected data, and present the selected data consistent with the one or more common perspectives. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

-
reading one or more common perspectives from a central repository, the one or more common perspectives defining a manner in which the end devices will present data of one or more types;
applying the one or more common perspectives to selected data; and
presenting the selected data consistent with the one or more common perspectives. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
