Abstract
A method and apparatus for tracking device management data changes comprising storing information related to modification to device management data wherein the device management data is stored in an Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) compliant device management tree of Managed Objects (MO).
Claims28
A method comprising:
- receiving a communication at a Device Management (DM) client on a user equipment (UE), the communication being from a DM server and commanding a change to a DM tree on the UE;
- modifying the DM tree based on the communication;
- creating a delta record that indicates the change made to the DM tree;
- and
- sending the delta record to the DM server.
A user equipment comprising:
- a network interface configured to receive a communication from a Device Management (DM) server, the communication commanding a change to a DM tree on the user equipment;
- and
- a processor configured to execute a DM client, the DM client being operable to:
- modify the DM tree based on the communication;
- and create a delta record that indicates the change made to the DM tree,
- wherein the processor is in communication with the network interface for sending the delta record to the DM server.
A method comprising:
- generating, at a Device Management (DM) server, a communication commanding a change to a DM tree on a user equipment (UE);
- sending the communication to a DM client which manages the DM tree on the UE;
- and
- receiving from the DM client a delta record that indicates the change made to the DM tree.
A network component comprising:
- a processor configured to execute a Device Management (DM) server, the DM server being operable for commanding a change to a DM tree on a user equipment (UE);
- and
- a network interface in communication with the processor, the network interface being configured to:
- send a communication to a DM client on the UE, the communication commanding the change to a DM tree on the UE;
- and receive from the DM client a delta record that indicates the change made to the DM tree.
A tangible computer readable medium storing instructions thereon which when executed by a user equipment (UE), cause the UE to perform the operations of:
- receiving a communication at a Device Management (DM) client on the UE, the communication being from a DM server and commanding a change to a DM tree on the UE;
- modifying the DM tree based on the communication;
- creating a delta record that indicates the change made to the DM tree;
- and
- sending the delta record to the DM server.
