Abstract: A network having a device management server to execute Sync ML device management (DM) commands and manage associated mobile devices. The network may employ a broker to execute bundles comprising device management and provisioning activities, provisioning parameters etc. The broker may determine the sequence in which these device management and provisioning activities are executed and may employ the device management server to conduct the DM operations to interact with the associated mobile devices.

Abstract: Methods and devices supporting the management of a plurality of electronic devices and processing of update information for updating software and/or firmware in the electronic devices. Prompting of users may be made using a language associated with the electronic device, and authorization to update an electronic device may be secured using a subscriber identity module.

Abstract: A mobile device apparatus uses an HyperText Transfer protocol (HTTP) push operation to simulate server-initiated sessions. The illustrative mobile device apparatus comprises a push server logic operable in a push server that sends a message to a mobile device over a network. The push server logic is configured to receive a GET command from a mobile device. The GET command includes a mobile device identifier parameter and a timeout parameter designating a maximum time interval for the push server to reply with a message. The push server logic holds a GET command session until expiration of a timeout designated by the timeout parameter in a condition that no message is targeted to the mobile device. The push server logic terminates the GET command session by sending a message immediately in a condition that the message is targeted to the mobile device.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention may be seen in a method and system for the ingestion of update package containers (or other types of containers, in general) into a distribution network. In an embodiment of the present invention, update package containers (UPC) from several different sources may be transferred into a distribution network such as a carrier network via a standardized SOAP interface. A logical repository may be assumed to exist in the distribution network. A standardized interface to such a logical repository may facilitate the integration of ingestion methods from several software originators into such a distribution network.

Abstract: A device management system enables management of firmware, provisioning, and configuration information updates to of a plurality of mobile electronic devices via a wireless communication network. A user self-care interface allows subscribers to interact with the device management system to identify problems in the mobile electronic devices, and to schedule updates, via a web-based interface. Delivery of updates to the mobile electronic devices is managed so as to maintain device management system loading at acceptable levels, within scheduling constraints.
