Abstract
A device for use in a communication system and a method for its operation are provided. The method of operating a Device Management (DM) client of a device in a communication system includes receiving an out-of-band DM message from a DM server, determining if out-of-band message response (OOBMsgResponse) reporting is inhibited based on an OOBMsgResponse node in a Management Object (MO), and if it is determined that OOBMsgResponse reporting is not inhibited, sending a response message in response to the out-of-band DM message received from the DM server.
Claims51
A method for operating a Device Management (DM) client of a device in a communication system, the method comprising:
- receiving an out-of-band DM message from a DM server;
- determining if out-of-band message response (OOBMsgResponse) reporting is inhibited based on an OOBMsgResponse node in a Management Object (MO);
- and
- if it is determined that OOBMsgResponse reporting is not inhibited, sending a response message in response to the out-of-band DM message received from the DM server.
A device for use in a communication system, the device comprising:
- a memory for storing code of a Device Management (DM) client;
- a processor for executing the code of the DM client stored in the memory;
- a communications unit for receiving and sending messages for the DM client;
- and
- the DM client for:
- receiving an out-of-band DM message from a DM server;
- determining if out-of-band message response (OOBMsgResponse) reporting is inhibited based on an OOBMsgResponse node in a Management Object (MO);
- and
- if it is determined that OOBMsgResponse reporting is not inhibited, sending a response message in response to the out-of-band DM message received from the DM server.
A non-transitory computer readable recording medium having computer executable components, the computer readable recording medium comprising:
- a Device Management (DM) structure that includes a plurality of DM Management Objects (MOs) associated with a DM protocol for DM of a device, the DM protocol for enabling a DM client associated with the device to receive an out-of-band DM message from a DM server and to send a response message to the out-of-band DM message based on at least one of the plurality of DM MOs,
- wherein the at least one of the plurality of DM MOs comprises one or more nodes that control the response message to the out-of-band DM message.
A Device Management (DM) system for controlling responses to an out-of-band DM message, the system comprising:
- a DM server for sending an out-of-band DM message to a plurality of DM clients;
- and
- a plurality of response proxy servers, each for receiving a corresponding response message to the out-of-band DM message from a corresponding one of the plurality of DM clients.
