Method and system for managing terminal states or terminal events in machine-to-machine or machine-to-man or man-to-machine (M2M) service

A system for managing terminal states or terminal events in a Machine-to-Machine, Machine-to-Man or Man-to-Machine (M2M) service, comprising:

• a terminal or a terminal gateway, a gateway device, a state or event management unit, and an M2M service platform;
• wherein
• the terminal or the terminal gateway is configured to transmit state or event information of itself to the state or event management unit through the gateway device;
• the gateway device is configured to transmit the state or event information reported by the terminal or the terminal gateway to the state or event management unit;
• the state or event management unit is configured to store the state or event information of the terminal or the terminal gateway;
• and
• the M2M service platform is configured to determine a service interaction operation with the terminal or the terminal gateway according to the state or event information of the terminal or the terminal gateway stored in the state or event management unit, and to perform the service interaction operation with the terminal or the terminal gateway according to the state or event information, wherein when the terminal is CS online, the interaction is performed through SMS, USSD or MMS;
• when the terminal is PS online, the interaction is performed through IP;
• wherein the state or event management unit is set in the M2M service platform or is set separately;
• when the state or event management unit is set separately, an interface is set on the state or event management unit for receiving and storing state or event information reported by the terminal or a terminal gateway, and for providing a function of adding, inquiring about, modifying and deleting state or event information for the M2M service platform.
