1. A method comprising:
- receiving control profile information that includes configuration data that provides settings of a user device, wherein the configuration data includes at least one of a picture or a video, and event data that indicates any of a date, a time, or a location pertaining to an event associated with a user of the user device for which the configuration data is used;
generating a control profile file based on the control profile information, wherein the control profile file includes settings data for the user device, which when executed by a control application, controls operations of the user device during the event;
storing the control profile file;
determining when the event begins;
controlling the operations of the user device, based on the control profile file, for a duration of the event in response to determining that the event begins; and
automatically setting the user device to a previous state or a new state after the event transpires.

9. A device comprising:
-
a communication interface; a memory, wherein the memory stores instructions; a processor, wherein the processor executes the instructions to; receive control profile information that includes event data that indicates any of a date, a time, or a location pertaining to an event associated with a user of the device for which configuration data is used, and the configuration data that provides settings of the device, wherein the configuration data includes at least one of a picture or a video; generate a control profile file based on the control profile information to control a state of the device, during the event, wherein the control profile file includes settings data for the device; determine when the event occurs; operate the device, based on the control profile file, during the event; and automatically set the device to a previous state or a new state after the event transpires. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method comprising:
-
receiving a control profile information request for control profile information or a control profile that controls one or more operations of a user device during an event associated with a user and automatically sets the user device to a previous state or a new state after the event transpires; accessing a database that includes control profile information or control profiles; selecting control profile information or a control profile based on information included in the control profile information request; sending a control profile information response to the user device that includes the control profile information or the control profile; and sending update data that updates the control profile information or the control profile in response to one or more changes that occur before the event or during the event, wherein the one or more changes include at least one of a start time of the event, an end time of the event, or a cancellation of the event. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21)

22. A device comprising:
-
a communication interface that includes a transmitter and a receiver; a memory, wherein the memory stores instructions; a processor, wherein the processor executes the instructions to; receive, via the communication interface, a control profile information request for control profile information or a control profile that controls one or more operations of a user device during an event associated with a user and automatically sets the user device to a previous state or a new state after the event transpires; send, via the communication interface, a control profile information request to another device based on the control profile information request received; receive, via the communication interface, a control profile information response from the other device; send, via the communication interface, the control profile information response to the user device that includes the control profile information or the control profile; and send, via the communication interface, update data that updates the control profile information or the control profile in response to one or more changes that occur before the event or during the event, wherein the one or more changes include at least one of a start time of the event, an end time of the event, or a cancellation of the event. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25)
