A system, for providing a device update to a mobile device, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a computer-readable storage device having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- generating a file comprising a set of update instructions, for handling a device update for the mobile device, and a uniform resource locator of a server configured to host the device update and handle the device update in accordance with the update instructions;
- sending a wireless application protocol push notification to the mobile device;
- and
- sending the file to the mobile device to cause the device to, using the uniform resource locator included in the file, redirect the file to the server;
- wherein:
- the set of update instructions for handling the device update for the mobile device comprises:
- a required transport type indicating a transport type by which the device update must be delivered to the mobile device;
- and
- a download option;
- the required transport type comprises at least two transport types;
- and
- the set of update instructions for handling the device update for the mobile device comprises a transport priority for each of the at least two transport types.
A method, for providing a device update to a mobile device, comprising:
- generating, by a device management server having a processor, a file comprising a set of update instructions, for handling a device update for the mobile device, and a uniform resource locator of a second server configured to host the device update and handle the device update in accordance with the update instructions for handling the device update;
- sending a wireless application protocol push notification to the mobile device;
- and
- sending, by the device management server, the file to the mobile device to cause the device to, using the uniform resource locator included in the file, redirect the file to the second server;
- wherein:
- the set of update instructions for handling the device update for the mobile device comprises:
- a required transport type indicating a transport type by which the device update must be delivered to the mobile device;
- and
- a download option;
- the required transport type comprises at least two transport types;
- and
- the set of update instructions for handling the device update for the mobile device comprises a transport priority for each of the at least two transport types.
A computer-readable storage device comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor of a device management server, cause the device management server to perform operations comprising:
- generating a file comprising a set of update instructions, for handling a device update for the mobile device, and a uniform resource locator of a second server configured to host the device update and handle the device update in accordance with the update instructions for handling the device update;
- sending a wireless application protocol push notification to the mobile device;
- and
- sending the file to the mobile device to cause the device to, using the uniform resource locator included in the file, redirect the file to the second server;
- wherein:
- the set of update instructions for handling the device update for the mobile device comprises:
- a required transport type indicating a transport type by which the device update must be delivered to the mobile device;
- and
- a download option;
- the required transport type comprises at least two transport types;
- and
- the set of update instructions for handling the device update for mobile device comprises a transport priority for each of the at least two transport types.
