Real life use-case: App for displaying specific ads on mobile devices in
stores. Manager installs this app, thats acts like a screensaver/daydream
service, on first app launch, it is registered in administrative portal with
all available device info, but without manufacturer.
So this manager can control what kind of ad-campaign is displaying on any
device. Manager creates specific ad-campaign for HTC devices. Wants to assign
it to all HTC devices, but no easy way to do that, because there are no HTC
devices or Samsung devices, there are at best model names. So to accomplish
that, manager have to maintain manufacturer info manually either from
administrative portal, or with adding device registration form into application
that is displayed on first app launch.
Added image for device registration form that gets reviewed by managers
after installing app on mobile device and than registering it in administrative
portal right from the app, second field would be manufacturer, currently empty
and will get replaced with dropdown of available manufacturers or smth like
that:
