Abstract
The present disclosure relates to electronic devices and methods for managing re-enrollment. According to the present disclosure, a method for managing re-enrollment of an electronic device may comprise storing data necessary for re-enrollment to manage the electronic device, reading the stored data corresponding to any one of initialization of the electronic device and deletion of a pre-stored management agent, sending a request for information necessary for authentication using the read data, and receiving at least one of the information necessary for authentication and a management agent installation file received corresponding to the request.
Claims19
A method for managing re-enrollment of an electronic device, the method comprising:
- storing, by a processor of the electronic device, data necessary for the re-enrollment to manage the electronic device in a memory of the electronic device, wherein the stored data is not deleted even when an initialization of the electronic device occurs, and includes an identifier of the electronic device and an identifier for authentication of the electronic device;
- responsive to a deletion of a pre-stored management agent in the memory is identified, reading, by the processor, the stored data in the memory;
- sending, by the processor, a request to a first server for information necessary for the authentication of the electronic device based on the identifier for the authentication included in the read data;
- receiving, by the processor, from the first server, the information necessary for the authentication and a file for installing a management agent corresponding to the sent request;
- installing, by the processor, the management agent by using the file received from the first server;
- transmitting, by the processor, to a second server a message comprising the identifier of the electronic device included in the read data to request the re-enrollment of the electronic device by using the information necessary for the authentication received from the first server, wherein the message further includes information associated with at least one function operated on the electronic device for being remotely controlled by the second server;
- and
- updating, by the processor, the data necessary for the re-enrollment upon receiving a response to the transmitted message to request the re-enrollment of the electronic device,
- wherein the first server is different from the second server which remotely controls the electronic device by using the installed management agent and the information associated with the at least one function.

An electronic device for managing re-enrollment, the electronic device comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- control the memory to store data necessary for the re-enrollment to manage the electronic device, wherein the stored data is not deleted even when an initialization of the electronic device occurs, and includes an identifier of the electronic device and an identifier for authentication of the electronic device,
- responsive to a deletion of a pre-stored management agent in the memory is identified, read the stored data in the memory,
- send to a first server a request for information necessary for the authentication of the electronic device based on the identifier for the authentication included in the read data,
- receive, from the first server, a file for installing a management agent and the information necessary for the authentication corresponding to the sent request,
- install the management agent by using the file received from the first server,
- transmit to a second server a message comprising the identifier of the electronic device included in the read data to request the re-enrollment of the electronic device by using the information necessary for the authentication received from the first server, wherein the message further includes information associated with at least one function operated on the electronic device and for being remotely controlled by the second server, and
- update the data necessary for the re-enrollment upon receiving a response to the transmitted message to request the re-enrollment of the electronic device,
- wherein the first server is different from the second server which remotely controls the electronic device by using the installed management agent and the information associated with the at least one function.

A method for managing re-enrollment of an electronic device, the method comprising:
- responsive to a deletion of a pre-stored management agent in a memory of the electronic device is identified, sending, by a processor of the electronic device, a request for information necessary for authentication of the electronic device based on pre-stored data in the memory of the electronic device, to a first server, wherein the pre-stored data is not deleted even when an initialization of the electronic device occurs, and includes an identifier of the electronic device and an identifier for the authentication;
- receiving, by the processor, from the first server the information necessary for the authentication and a file for installing a management agent corresponding to the sent request;
- installing, by the processor, the management agent by using the file received from the first server;
- transmitting, by the processor, to a second server a message comprising the identifier of the electronic device included in the pre-stored data to request the re-enrollment of the electronic device by using the information necessary for the authentication received from the first server;
- receiving, by the processor, data necessary for the re-enrollment of the electronic device from the second server in response to the transmitting of the message;
- re-enrolling, by the processor, to the second server based on the received data, wherein the message further includes information associated with at least one function operated on the electronic device for being remotely controlled by the second server;
- and
- updating, by the processor, the pre-stored data upon receiving a response to the transmitted message to request the re-enrollment of the electronic device,
- wherein the first server is different from the second server which remotely controls the electronic device by using the installed management agent and the information associated with the at least one function.
