Method and device arrangement for managing a client/server environment

A wireless device management arrangement for changing a data structure in a mobile client device, comprising:

• a device management server;
• and
• the mobile client device;
• in which data transfer arrangement for executing device management instructions in the mobile client device:
• the device management server is configured to form at least one device management instruction sequence, the device management instruction sequence including:
• command sequences with single commands, and;
• control structures containing conditional commands;
• the device management server is configured to send the formed device management instruction sequence via wireless link to the mobile client device;
• and
• a processor unit of the mobile client device is configured to:
• execute the device management instruction sequence independently of the device management server;
• and
• generate new command sequences by executing the control structures in a case where the command sequences in the instruction sequence transmitted to the mobile client device cannot be executed or if the result of executing the command sequences in the instruction sequence transmitted to the mobile client device is unacceptable, whereby the device management instruction sequence is executed on the mobile client device as the new command sequence.

A mobile client device including an instruction execution module, the mobile client device comprising:

• means for receiving a device management instruction sequence transmitted by a device management server for changing a data structure in the mobile client device;
• means for breaking up the device management instruction sequence into single instructions, which include either command sequences or control structures;
• means for generating new command sequences in a central processing unit of the mobile client device by executing the control structures if the command sequences in the instruction sequence transmitted to the mobile client device cannot be executed or if the result of executing the command sequences in the instruction sequence transmitted to the mobile client device is unacceptable, whereby the device management instruction sequence is executed on the mobile client device as the new command sequence;
• means for drawing up a message describing the success of the execution of the device management instruction sequence, and;
• means for sending a message describing the success to the device management server.

A mobile client device encoded with a computer program for creating an instruction execution module in the mobile client device, the computer program comprising:

• computer readable code means for receiving a device management instruction sequence transmitted by a device management server;
• computer readable code means for breaking up the device management instruction sequence into single instructions, which include either command sequences or control structures;
• computer readable code means for generating new command sequences by utilizing the control structures if the command sequences in the instruction sequence transmitted to the client device cannot be executed or if the result of executing the command sequences in the instruction sequence transmitted to the client device is unacceptable, whereby the device management instruction sequence is executed on the mobile client device as the new command sequence;
• computer readable code means for drawing up a message describing the success of the execution of the device management instruction sequence, and;
• computer readable code means for sending a message describing the success to the device management server.
