Abstract

A computing system includes an account associated with a user of the system, and a server. One or more processors are configured to receive user information from a user computing device, wherein the user information is related to a user of the account, determine, based on the user information, one or more user settings preferences related to a second computing device, receive an information request, wherein the information request includes a request to send the one or more user settings preferences to the second computing device, and to send the one or more user settings preferences to the second computing device, wherein the one or more user settings preferences are useable by the second computing device to adjust one or more settings of the second computing device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computing system comprising a server and one or more processors configured to:
receive user information related to a user;
determine, based on at least a physical characteristic in the user information, one or more user settings preferences related to a second computing device having one or more adjustable settings relating to a physical configuration of the second computing device, the second computing device being remote from the server;
receive an information request transmitted to the server responsive to a user computing device being paired with the second computing device, wherein the information request includes a request to send the one or more user settings preferences to the second computing device, the request identifying the second computing device; and
send, responsive to the user computing device being paired with the second computing device, the one or more user settings preferences to the second computing device, to cause the second computing device to adjust one or more settings of the second computing device based on the one or more user settings preferences.

2. The computing system of claim 1 , the one or more processors further configured to receive additional user information from the second computing device, wherein the additional user information is related to use of the second computing device by the user, and update the one or more user settings preferences based on the additional user information.

3. The computing system of claim 1 , wherein the computing system resides in a financial institution computing system, and wherein the computing system further comprises account management logic configured to manage accounts respectively associated with a plurality of users, the accounts including at least one of bank accounts or information wallet accounts.

4. The computing system of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the one or more user settings preferences is determined by estimating the at least one user settings preference based on the user information.

5. The computing system of claim 1 , the one or more processors further configured to provide an interface between the user computing device and the computing system.

6. The computing system of claim 1 , wherein the computing system comprises a cloud storage computing system.

7. The computing system of claim 1 , the one or more processors further configured to, prior to sending the one or more user settings preferences to the second computing device:
send the one or more user settings preferences to the user computing device; and
receive a confirmation of the one or more user settings preferences from the user computing device.

8. The computing system of claim 7 , the one or more processors further configured to:
receive feedback related to the one or more user settings preferences from the user computing device prior to receiving the confirmation from the user computing device; and
adjust the one or more user settings preferences based on the feedback.

9. The computing system of claim 1 , the one or more processors further configured to receive additional user information from the second computing device, wherein the additional user information is related to use of the second computing device by the user, and update the one or more user settings preferences based on additional user information from the second computing device, and send the updated user settings preferences to the second computing device, wherein the updated user settings preferences are useable by the second computing device to adjust one or more settings of the second computing device.

10. The computing system of claim 1 , wherein the physical characteristic in the user information indicates a height of the user.

11. The computing system of claim 1 , wherein the physical characteristic in the user information indicates a weight of the user.

12. The computing system of claim 1 , wherein the second computing device is a vehicle of the user.

13. The computing system of claim 1 , wherein the second computing device is a home appliance of the user.

14. The computing system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more user settings preference of the second computing device comprises a temperature setting.

15. The computing system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more user settings preference of the second computing device comprises a radio setting.

16. The computing system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more user settings preference of the second computing device comprises a seat adjustment setting.

17. The computing system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more user settings preference of the second computing device comprises at least one of a mirror setting or a light setting.

18. The computing system of claim 1 , wherein the user information is received from the user computing device remote from the server, wherein the received information request is transmitted by the user computing device, and wherein the second computing device is configured to enforce a common data protocol and to synchronize information traveling between the second computing device and the computing system.

19. A method implemented by a computing system comprising a server and one or more processors, the method comprising:
receiving user information related to a user;
determining, based on at least a physical characteristic in the user information, one or more user settings preferences related to a second computing device having one or more adjustable settings relating to a physical configuration of the second computing device, the second computing device being remote from the server;
receiving an information request transmitted by the user computing device to the server responsive to a user computing device being paired with the second computing device, wherein the information request includes a request to send the one or more user settings preferences to the second computing device, the request identifying the second computing device; and
sending, responsive to the user computing device being paired with the second computing device, the one or more user settings preferences to the second computing device, to cause the second computing device to adjust one or more settings of the second computing device based on the one or more user settings preferences.

20. The method of claim 19 , wherein the user information is received from the user computing device, wherein the received information request is transmitted by the user computing device, and wherein the method further comprises receiving additional user information from the second computing device, wherein the additional user information is related to use of the second computing device by the user, and updating the one or more user settings preferences based on the additional user information.
