First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- accessing one or more policies associated with a user, the one or more policies pertaining to one or more computing devices associated with the user;
determining capabilities of an additional computing device to be associated with the user;
based on the determined capabilities of the additional computing device, identifying a subset of the one or more policies that are applicable to the additional computing device;
based on the identified subset of the one or more policies, automatically generating a customized set of policies for the additional computing device; and
sending the customized set of policies to the additional computing device.

Abstract
Technologies are generally described for generating policies for multiple devices associated with a user. In some examples, one or more policies associated with a user may be accessed. The policies may pertain to one or more computing devices associated with the user. The capabilities of an additional computing device to be associated with the user may be determined. Based on the determined capabilities, which of the one or more policies are applicable to the additional computing device may be identified. Based on the identified policies, a default set of policies for the additional computing device may be automatically generated.

8. A computing device comprising at least one processor unit;
a memory communicatively coupled to the processor unit when the computing device is operational, the memory having stored thereon computer instructions that when executed by the at least one processor unit cause the computing device to; receive a generated subset of policies for the computing device from a server, the generated subset of policies generated by the server are selected from one or more policies associated with a user based on identified capabilities of the computing device, the one or more policies pertaining to other computing devices associated with the user; and execute one or more applications on the computing device using the generated subset of policies. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
