Zusammenfassung:A reasoning apparatus ( 101 ) is arranged to determine device locations for user profile elements of a distributed user profile. A user profile processor ( 201 ) receives a user profile which comprises a plurality of user profile elements. Each user profile element furthermore comprises associated metadata. The apparatus ( 101 ) also comprises a device profile receiver ( 203 ) that receives device profiles for a plurality of devices. A device location processor ( 205 ) proceeds to determine device locations for the user profile elements in response to the associated metadata and the device profiles. Specifically, a user profile element may be assigned to a specific device if the device profile for that device matches the metadata for the user profile element. The reasoning apparatus ( 101 ) may furthermore comprise a user profile element synchroniser ( 207 ) which synchronises the user profile elements with the appropriate devices.
