Method and system for a networked self-configuring communication device utilizing user preference information
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- circuitry configured toidentify a user of a first electronic device;
retrieve at least a portion of user configuration information identifying preferred broadcast channels corresponding to the identified user, wherein the user configuration information is developed via a second electronic device for a specific user of the second electronic device based on information uploaded from the second electronic device to the system; and
control provision of a media content streaming service to the first electronic device based on the preferred broadcast channels identified in the at least the portion of the user configuration information corresponding to the identified user.

Abstract
A first personal electronic (PE) device may enable generation, updating, and/or storage of user configuration information. The user configuration information may comprise information pertaining to device configuration and/or operational preferences specific to the device user and/or various use settings, connectivity, and/or use of available resources. The generation, updating, and/or storage of the user configuration information may be performed manually and/or automatically, and may be performed directly within the first PE device and/or via networked devices, which may communicatively coupled to the first PE device. A second PE device may be enabled to be communicatively coupled to the first PE device and/or the networked devices. The second PE device may then be enabled to download existing user configuration information from the first PE device and/or the networked device, and the downloaded user configuration may be utilized to configure the second PE device.
