Method and apparatus for group management during machine-to-machine communication
First Claim
1. A method for group management during machine-to-machine communication, with the method performed by a processor configured to execute programs stored on processor-readable media, comprising:
- receiving from a requesting apparatus a group creation request that carries members of the group and a group type of the group;
checking whether a member type of each member is consistent with the group type carried in the group creation request;
determining one of the members is unreachable;
based on determining the unreachable member, setting a consistency check flag of the group to indicate that the consistency checking is uncompleted; and
based on determining the unreachable member, returning to the requesting apparatus a group creation response that carries the consistency check flag of the group indicating that the consistency checking is uncompleted.

Abstract
The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for group management during M2M communication. The method for group management during M2M communication includes receiving a group creation request sent by a requesting apparatus and carrying a group type of a group requested to be created, checking consistency between member types of members in the group and the group type and setting a consistency check flag of the group according to a consistency check result, and returning a group creation response that carries the consistency check result to the requesting apparatus.

9. An apparatus for machine-to-machine communication, comprising:
-
a processor; and a non-transitory computer readable medium coupled to the processor and storing thereon computer-executable instructions that when executed by the processor, configure the apparatus to; receive from a requesting apparatus a group creation request that carries members of the group and a group type of the group; check whether a member type of each member is consistent with the group type carried in the group creation request; determine one of the members is unreachable; based on determining the unreachable member, set a consistency check flag of the group to indicate that the consistency checking is uncompleted; and based on determining the unreachable member, return to the requesting apparatus a group creation response that carries the consistency check flag of the group indicating that the consistency checking is uncompleted. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
