Method and system for provisioning portable desktops
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- providing an image including secured data for being stored within a plurality of peripheral portable desktop devices, wherein the secured data is other than accessible absent user authorization data of a virtual user;
storing in parallel within each of the plurality of peripheral memory storage devices data reflective of the image, wherein the secured data is stored within a virtual user account of the virtual user;
authorizing a first user account on the peripheral memory storage device based on first user authorization data;
storing the user authorization data of the virtual user in the first user account, such that the first user account is configured to access the virtual user account; and
changing the user authorization data of the virtual user from a pre-provisioning value to a changed value, such that the secured data within the virtual user account is secured based on the changed value and the virtual user account is no longer accessible via the pre-provisioning value.

Abstract
A method is disclosed for provisioning of a peripheral portable desktop device. The peripheral portable desktop device is coupled with a workstation. A data file relating to an image for being stored within the peripheral portable desktop device is provided. The image includes secured data that is other than accessible absent user authorization data of a virtual user. Within the peripheral portable desktop device is stored data reflective of the image. A first user is then authorized to the peripheral portable desktop device by providing first user authorization data. For the first user is created a user account secured based on the first user authorization data. The account of the virtual user is accessed via the user account and the user account is configured to access the account of the virtual user upon access to the user account.

11. A peripheral memory storage device comprising:
-
a housing; a port for coupling with a host computer; and a data storage medium having portable desktop data stored therein comprising secured data stored within a virtual user account of a virtual user, the secured data other than accessible absent user authorization data of the virtual user, the user authorization data of the virtual user for use in provisioning of the peripheral memory storage device, wherein the portable desktop is executable only once provisioned to a first user other than the virtual user, the first user having a first user account authorized based on first user authorization data; wherein the user authorization data of the virtual user is stored in the first user account, such that the first user account is configured to access the secured data in the virtual user account; and wherein the user authorization data of the virtual user is changed from a pre-provisioning value to a changed value, such that the secured data in the virtual user account is secured based on the changed value and the virtual user account is no longer accessible via the pre-provisioning value. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)

15. A method comprising:
-
receiving a peripheral memory storage device, the peripheral memory storage device having data stored therein including secured data within a virtual user account that is other than accessible absent user authorization data of a virtual user; authorizing a first user to the peripheral memory storage device based on first user authorization data; modifying the virtual user account by changing the user authorization data of the virtual user from a pre-provisioning value to a chanted value, such that the secured data within the virtual user account is secured based on the changed value of the user authorization data of the virtual user, and such that the virtual user account is no longer accessible via the pre-provisioning value; and storing the user authorization data of the virtual user in the first user account, such that the first account is configured to access the secured data in the virtual user account.

16. A method comprising:
-
receiving a peripheral memory storage device, the peripheral memory storage device having data stored therein including secured data in a virtual user account of a virtual user, such that the secured data is other than accessible absent user authorization data of the virtual user; authorizing a first user to the peripheral memory storage device by providing first user authorization data; creating a first user account for the first user, the first user account secured based on the first user authorization data; configuring the first user account to access the virtual user account of the virtual user upon access to the first user account by storing the user authorization data of the virtual user in the first user account; and changing the user authorization data of the virtual user from a pre-provisioning value to a changed value, such that the secured data within the virtual user account is secured based on the changed value and the virtual user account is no longer accessible via the pre-provisioning value. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. A peripheral memory storage device comprising:
-
non-volatile memory for storing portable desktop data reflective of an operating system image including secured data stored within a virtual user account of a virtual user, such that the secured data is other than accessible absent user authorization data of the virtual user; and a processor for; authorizing a first user to the peripheral memory storage device by providing first user authorization data; creating a first user account for the first user, the first user account secured based on the first user authorization data; configuring the first user account to access the secured data stored within the virtual user account of the virtual user upon access to the first user account, wherein the user authorization data of the virtual user is stored in the first user account; changing the user authorization data of the virtual user from a pre-provisioning value to a changed value, such that the secured data within the virtual user account is secured based on the changed value and the virtual user account is no longer accessible via the pre-provisioning value; and accessing the secured data within the virtual user account of the virtual user via the first user account using the changed value of the user authorization data of the virtual user. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27)
