Abstract: A method and system for customizing setup of features of an electronic device. The method includes collecting user data related to a user using the electronic device, wherein the user data is collected, in part, using at least one sensor connected to the electronic device; analyzing the collected user data to determine for each user action of a plurality of user actions a corresponding probability score, wherein a probability score is a probability that the user chooses to perform a particular subsequent user action from the plurality of user actions, wherein a user action of the plurality of user actions is enabled by a setup plan; selecting based on the probability scores at least one setup plan corresponding to an action having the highest probability score; and configuring a feature of the electronic device based on the selected setup plan.

Abstract: Critical data may be synchronously stored in both a cache, and a database of a remote data repository of a cloud-based network. Alternatively, critical data may be synchronously stored in the cache, and critical and/or non-critical data may be asynchronously stored in the database.

Abstract: Consolidated game flow for a plurality of different productivity applications is provided by a challenge director which may be local to a computing device or accessible via a remote network server. A consolidated game board display output of the challenge director at the computing device may encourage learning features of different productivity applications, for example, based on achieving at least one challenge for a feature that is of a different productivity application than one currently utilized by a user. The challenge director may launch a productivity application associated with a challenge from a version of the productivity application currently available at the computing device at the beginning of challenge play. An overall theme of the consolidated game board display may link a plurality of levels of play to one another with individual related sub-themes for each skill level of game play.
