Method and system for operations management in a telecommunications terminal with a state machine

A system comprising:

• a plurality of service terminals,
• a remote server, where the management of operations on each service terminal is performed by a method for managing an operation in a service terminal through a remote server,
• the service terminal comprising a plurality of modules, a state machine configured for loading algorithms corresponding to applications and running said applications, and a communications interface configured for communicating with said remote server,
• said remote server comprising a communications interface configured for communicating with said service terminal and plurality of applications, each of said applications comprising an algorithm defined in such a way that its states, transitions between states and conditions can be transmitted through said communications interface;
• the method comprising the steps of:
• (a) sending a request from said service terminal to said remote server to download, at least, one algorithm of, at least, one application;
• (b) transmitting said, at least, one algorithm from said server to the service terminal and loading it in said state machine;
• (c) generating an event as a response to a user interaction with one of said modules of the service terminal;
• (d) associating an information to said event and sending it to the state machine;
• (e) processing said information in the state machine and obtaining at least one operation to be performed on any of the modules of the service terminal by using said, at least, one algorithm already loaded in the state machine;
• and
• (f) identifying the module on which said at least one operation is intended to be performed and interacting with said module by performing said at least one operation in the service terminal.

A computer program comprising:

• a computer program code means adapted to perform a management method when said program is run on a computer, a digital signal processor, a field-programmable gate array, an application specific integrated circuit, a micro-processor, a micro-controller, or any other form of programmable hardware;
• the management method for managing an operation in a service terminal through a remote server,
• the service terminal comprising a plurality of modules, a state machine configured for loading algorithms corresponding to applications and running said applications, and a communications interface configured for communicating with said remote server,
• said remote server comprising a communications interface configured for communicating with said service terminal and plurality of applications, each of said applications comprising an algorithm defined in such a way that its states, transitions between states and conditions can be transmitted through said communications interface;
• the management method comprising the steps of:
• (a) sending a request from said service terminal to said remote server to download, at least, one algorithm of, at least, one application;
• (b) transmitting said, at least, one algorithm from said server to the service terminal and loading it in said state machine;
• (c) generating an event as a response to a user interaction with one of said modules of the service terminal;
• (d) associating an information to said event and sending it to the state machine;
• (e) processing said information in the state machine and obtaining at least one operation to be performed on any of the modules of the service terminal by using said, at least, one algorithm already loaded in the state machine;
• and
• (f) identifying the module on which said at least one operation is intended to be performed and interacting with said module by performing said at least one operation in the service terminal.
