Abstract
A method and system for remotely managing mobile devices over a communication network including transceiving user input data generated at a mobile management terminal to a management computer over a communication network. The transceived user input data is analyzed to determine whether the user input data corresponds to a stored command function and the stored command function is executed at the management computer in response to determining that the user input data corresponds to a stored command function. Data is transceived from the management computer to one or more mobile host devices over the communication network.
Claims18
A method of managing mobile devices comprising:
- identifying one or more mobile host devices and creating a working set of the identified mobile host devices;
- communicating user input data from a mobile management device to a management computer over a communication network;
- determining whether communicated user input data includes at least a request for a list of the mobile host devices in the working set, and generating response data based at least in part on the identified mobile host devices in the working set and communicating the response data to the mobile management device;
- determining whether communicated user input data includes a command function for configuring at least one mobile host device in the working set;
- in response to determining that communicated user input data includes a command function, executing the command function at the management computer for at least one mobile host device in the working set;
- and
- selectively communicating configuration data from the management computer to the at least one mobile host device in the working set over the communication network to configure the mobile host device.
A system for managing mobile devices the system comprising:
- a management computer, at least one mobile management device and a plurality of mobile host devices, the management computer, mobile management device and mobile host devices each including respective processing circuitry and transceiver circuitry for processing data and communicating data between the management computer and the mobile management device and mobile host devices;
- the management computer configured to store configuration data for the plurality of mobile host devices;
- the mobile management device configured for identifying one or more mobile host devices and for communicating identifying data with the management computer, the management computer configured for creating a working set of identified mobile host devices using the identifying data;
- the mobile management device further configured for capturing user input data and communicating the user input data with the management computer;
- the management computer configured to determine whether user input data includes at least a request for a list of the mobile host devices in the working set and to generate response data based at least in part on the identified mobile host devices in the working set and communicate the response data to the mobile management device, and further configured to determine whether user input data includes a command function and to execute the command function corresponding to the user input data for at least one mobile host device in the working set in response to determining that the received user input data includes a command function;
- the management computer further configured to selectively communicate configuration data with the at least one mobile host device in the working set;
- the at least one mobile host device operable for using the configuration data to configure the mobile host device.
