Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- accepting a user request from a user of a data processing system having a connected user interface device, the user request including a user authentication credential for accessing user interface device configurations through a remote data processing system, the user interface device configurations facilitating the user interfacing with the user interface device;
authenticating the user request including the user authentication credential for the accessing the user interface device configurations;
communicating the user interface device configurations which are maintained through the remote data processing system and received at the data processing system having the connected user interface device; and
causing effectual use of the user interface device in accordance with the user interface device configurations.

Abstract
Provided is a system and method for enabling a user to maintain a single remote instance of user interface device configurations (e.g. for large touch sensitive display devices) to prevent recreating them on many data processing systems having the same, similar, or different connected user interface devices. Configurations are accessible to a traveling user wanting to put into effect the configurations as needed for a particular user interface device. Configurations may be stored in a universal format and converted appropriately using user interface device criteria (e.g. for the large touch sensitive display devices).
