Terminal Management, Agent, Wifi
Description
The present invention relates to a management technology of a terminal, and more particularly, to a mobile terminal management agent and a method mounted on a Wi-Fi platform-based terminal to perform a terminal management task on behalf of a user.
Domestic mobile operators are using specialized terminal platforms. For this reason, applications and services had to be developed redundantly for specialized platforms. In order to reduce this waste, an integrated platform was needed, and Wipy was developed.
The Wi-Fi is an integrated mobile standard platform standard proposed by the Korea Wireless Internet Standardization Forum, which is installed in a wireless mobile communication terminal to provide a common execution environment for various applications. This increases portability of the loaded application and facilitates development.
The Wi-Fi has a layered structure of a HAL (Handset Adaptation Layer), a Wi-Fi API, and an application program.
The HAL is an abstraction layer for maintaining hardware independence of the platform, and the WIPI API provides C and Java APIs as essential APIs supported by a platform used by an application developer. And the application is a program that is mounted on the Wi-Fi platform.
In general, the terminal using the wireless Internet must be equipped with the Wi-Fi platform. Therefore, the spread of Wi-Fi-based terminals is spreading, and the number of application programs mounted in such terminals is greatly increased.
As a plurality of application programs are loaded as described above, the complexity in the terminal is increased, such that various configuration values for executing the application program are required in the mobile communication terminal. For this reason, there is a need for an efficient method for managing terminals.
Device management refers to a series of tasks for maintaining and managing various environment settings of a terminal so that the terminal operates normally or provides better performance and functions, and monitors and recovers abnormal operation.
At present, a technically low level method of wireless mobile communication terminal management is applied. In other words, when changing the configuration of the service provided by the terminal, the terminal should be physically connected to the user's computer. And it uses a full management method that changes the setting value in the terminal through the software installed on the computer. In addition, when the latest version of the firmware or the specific software in the terminal is released, it must be reinstalled through the above method. In addition, when an error occurs in the terminal, there is a problem that the user must visit the service center to solve the problem.
In order to solve the problems of the conventional management technique, an automated management system is required in which an administrator remotely manages configuration values and distributes the latest version of the application on behalf of the user. That is, the development of a system that enables the management server to efficiently manage the terminal through a technique of pushing the configuration value and the latest version of the application to the terminal (PUSH) is required.
There was no standardized terminal management technology until the end of 2001, which naturally led to the development of proprietary terminal management technology. However, if each terminal uses a different type of terminal management technology, it cannot effectively manage a large number of terminals. Accordingly, there is a need for a standardized terminal management technology, which is OMA (Open Mobile Alliance) Device Management (DM). OMA DM is now accepted as the only industry standard. Domestic and overseas mobile carriers and handset makers, which have been using their own handset management technology, are also actively adopting the OMA DM standard. In addition, OMA DM is expected to spread further as a global standard for handset management as the third-generation mobile telecommunication service is expanding.
In the OMA DM, the terminal management system is composed of a management server and an agent. The management server is a program that executes the terminal management, such as changing the setting value of the terminal, install and delete software under the direction of the administrator from the center. The agent is a program installed in the user's terminal and is a program that receives and executes a management request of a server. The management request includes setting value change, error recovery, software installation and deletion, and the like.
The OMA DM has proposed a standard for standardization of a terminal management technology. Bootstrap specification describing the process until the agent can start a session with the management server, Security specification describing the process and method of mutual authentication between the agent and the management server, in the terminal There is a Tree and Description specification that defines a DM tree that consists of objects to be managed in a tree structure. In addition, Representation protocol that defines the format of XML messages exchanged for terminal management, Device Management protocol that defines the flow of packages that the server and agent exchange with each other, and objects in the terminal that are subject to management commands There is a standardized object specification that you define.
An object of the present invention is to provide a terminal management agent and method which is mounted on a terminal based on the Wi-Fi platform to efficiently manage a terminal, performs management on behalf of a user, and satisfies an international standard for terminal management. do.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a terminal management agent, including: a session handler that receives a package from the management server and determines a suitability of a header when a session with a management server is started; An OMA toolkit that, if the header of the management package is appropriate, analyzes one or more messages that make up the package and calls one or more callback functions to process each of the one or more messages; A plurality of callback functions for processing the message, deriving management commands from the one or more messages through one or more callback functions called by the OMA toolkit, and for managing the DM tree corresponding to the one or more management commands. A message handler that calls one or more functions; And a plurality of functions for accessing and processing the DM tree, each of the one or more functions called by the message handler including a terminal management adapter for accessing the DM tree and performing processing according to a corresponding management command. It is done.
The present invention is mounted on a terminal based on the Wi-Fi platform to perform management on behalf of a user, there is an advantage that can meet the international standard for terminal management.
The terminal management agent of the present invention is implemented to be mounted on the WiPie platform using the WiPie API, and follows the management procedure and format specified in the OMA DM standard. In addition, the terminal management agent is configured as a management module for each management unit management agent for the structural design.
The terminal management agent proposed in the present invention defines an environment setting value and other information of an application to be managed as a management object, configures it in a tree structure, and manages it by applying a command delivered by the management server to the object. Use the method.
