Systems and methods for managing lost devices of multiple types with multiple policies using melded profiles associated with groups
First Claim
1. A method for managing lost devices via a computer network, comprising:
- receiving, by a server from a first agent executing on a first device, a first device type;
receiving, by the server from a second agent executing on a second device, a second device type, the second device type different from the first device type;
receiving, by the server from a user interface, a first group associated with the first device and a second group associated with the second device, the second group different from the first group;
determining, by the server, that the first device is lost;
determining, by the server, that the second device is lost;
accessing, by the server responsive to determining that at least one of the first device and second device is lost, a database storing, in memory, a first configuration class associated with the first device and a second configuration class associated with the second device;
creating, by the server, based on the first device type and the first configuration class, a first device-dependent class;
creating, by the server, based on the second device type and the second configuration class, a second device-dependent class;
melding, by the server based on the first group, the first device-dependent class into a first melded profile;
melding, by the server based on the second group, the second device-dependent class into a second melded profile; and
applying, by the server, the first melded profile to the first device that is lost and the second melded profile to the second device that is lost.

Abstract
This disclosure facilitates managing lost devices. In some embodiments, a system receives a first device type from a first agent on a first device, and a different second device type from a second agent on a second device. The system receives a first group associated with the first device and a different second group associated with the second device. The system determines that the first device and the second device are lost and accesses a database storing first and second configuration classes associated with the first and second devices, respectively. The system creates first and second device-dependent classes based on the first and second device types and the first and second configuration classes, respectively. The system melds the first device-dependent class into a first melded profile and the second device-dependent class into a second melded profile, using the respective groups, and applies the melded profiles to the corresponding device.
