Abstract
A method for providing a Device Management (DM) service to various devices by a relay device is provided. In the method, the relay device registers in a DM server a relay function for providing a DM service based on the relay device to at least one device. If at least one device is discovered in a Personal Area Network (PAN) managed by the relay device, the relay device determines a relay mode with the at least one device, and provides a DM service from the DM server to the at least one device according to the determined relay mode.

A method for providing, by a relay device, a Device Management (DM) service, the method comprising:
- registering, to a DM server, a relay function for providing a DM service based on the relay device to at least one device;
- if at least one device is discovered in a Personal Area Network (PAN) managed by the relay device, determining a relay mode for each of the at least one device;
- and
- providing a DM service from the DM server to the at least one device according to the determined relay mode.
A relay device for providing a Device Management (DM) service to at least one device, the relay device comprising:
- a communication module for forming a Personal Area Network (PAN) with at least one device, and transmitting and receiving data over the PAN;
- and
- a DM client for registering in a DM server a relay function for providing a DM service based on the relay device to the at least one device, and if at least one device is discovered in the PAN managed by the relay device, determining a relay mode for each of the at least one device, and providing a DM service from the DM server to the at least one device through the communication module according to the determined relay mode.
