Specifying nodes in device management system
First Claim
1. A method of specifying nodes of a management structure used for device management in a device management system, wherein properties of at least one node are specified in a device description for a management structure formed for at least one device to be managed, the device description comprising, for at least one node, recursion information concerning at least the starting point for recursion, the method comprising:
- specifying nodes in the management structure on the basis of information included in the device description such that the node is repeated according to the recursion information in the management structure.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method of specifying nodes of a management structure used for device management in a device management system, wherein properties of at least one node are specified in a device description for a management structure formed for at least one device to be managed. The device description comprises, for at least one node, recursion information concerning at least the starting point for recursion, whereby the node can be repeated according to the recursion information in the management structure.

11. A device management system comprising at least a device management server and at least one device management client to be managed, in which device management system nodes are arranged to be specified in a management structure maintained for at least one device management client to be managed on the basis of a device description comprising properties of at least one node, wherein the device management system is configured to store at least one device description comprising, for at least one node, recursion information concerning at least the starting point for recursion, and
the device management system is configured to repeat the node according to the recursion information in the management structure.

12. A data processing device configured to operate as a management server for device management and to specify nodes in a management structure maintained for at least one device management client to be managed on the basis of a device description comprising properties of at least one node, wherein the data processing device is configured to receive at least one device description comprising, for at least one node, recursion information concerning at least the starting point for recursion, and
the data processing device is configured to repeat the node according to the recursion information in the management structure.

15. A computer program product loadable in the memory of a data processing device, the computer program product comprising a computer program code which, when executed in the processor of the data processing device maintaining a management structure on the basis of a device description comprising properties of at least one node, causes the data processing device to
receive at least one device description comprising, for at least one node, recursion information concerning at least the starting point for recursion, and repeat the node according to the recursion information in the management structure.
-
16. A data processing device readable data structure for controlling the data processing device maintaining a management structure on the basis of a device description comprising properties of at least one node, the data structure comprising, for at least one node, recursion information concerning at least the starting point for recursion, the data structure causing the data processing device to repeat the node according to the recursion information in the management structure.
