Abstract
Device management methods and related apparatus are provided. A command is received and executed. When the command is not executed successfully, a status message comprising a first status code is generated. When the command is executed successfully, the status message comprising a second status code and an actual execution state is generated wherein the first status code is different from the second status code.
Claims20
A device management method for use in an electronic device comprising a device management tree, comprising steps of:
- receiving a command;
- executing the command;
- generating a status message comprising a first status code when the command is not executed successfully;
- and
- generating the status message comprising a second status code and an actual execution state when the command is executed successfully;
- wherein the first status code is different from the second status code.
A client, comprising:
- a storage unit comprising a device management tree;
- a reception unit receiving a command;
- and
- a processing unit executing the command and generating a status message;
- wherein when the processing unit fails to execute the command, the status message comprises a first status code, and when the processing unit executes the command successfully, the status message comprises an actual execution state and a second status code different from the first status code.
A client, comprising:
- a storage unit comprising a device management tree;
- a reception unit receiving a command comprising a specific condition;
- and
- a processing unit executing the command optionally based on the specific condition, and when the execution is not based on the specific condition, generating a status message comprising an actual execution state.
A client, comprising:
- a storage unit comprising a device management tree;
- a reception unit receiving a command comprising a specific path;
- and
- a processing unit adding a management object to the device management tree;
- wherein when the processing unit adds the management object in an actual path different from the specific path, the processing unit generates a first status code, and when the processing unit adds the management object in the specific path, the processing unit generates a second status code different from the first status code.
A client, comprising:
- a storage unit comprising a device management tree;
- a reception unit receiving a command comprising a suggested name;
- and
- a processing unit adding a node to the device management tree and naming the node;
- wherein when the processing unit names the node using an actual node name different from the suggested name, the processing unit generates a first status code, and when the processing unit names the node using the suggested name, the processing unit generates a second status code different from the first status code.
A device management system, comprising:
- a server transmitting a command;
- and
- a client executing the command from the server, and transmitting a status message comprising a status code and an actual execution state to the server;
- wherein the server checks the status code of the status message, and determines whether to check the actual execution state based on the check of the status code.
