1. A profiling method using a device agent within a mobile device in communication with a server for providing customer care to the mobile device, comprising:
- a. in response to a request from the server for a profile of the mobile device, activating a device profiler within the device agent capable of;
i. gathering profile data from the mobile device; and
ii. packaging the profile data into one or more data streams;
b. attempting to transmit the one or more data streams to the server by a selected first communication protocol; and
c. on detection of a failure in the transmitting step, attempting retransmission of the one or more data streams to the server by a selected second communication protocol;
wherein the server is capable of invoking a corrective action on the mobile device based on the profile data received.

Abstract
A smartphone profiler system and method is provided for collecting profile data from a mobile device which is then transmitted to a server for analysis and customer care. The profile data may be transmitted in one or more data streams. The invention provides for more than one possible type of transmission protocol. If a transmission fails using a first transmission protocol, the invention allows a second transmission protocol to be used. The server is preferably capable of invoking a corrective action on the mobile device based on the profile data received.

11. A device profiler system within a device agent installed on a mobile device, in communication with a server, for providing customer care to the mobile device, the system comprising:
-
a. a device listener for receiving a request from the server for a profile of the mobile device;
b. a device profiler activated in response to the device listener capable of;
i. gathering profile data from the mobile device; and
ii. packaging the profile data into one or more data streams;
c. a device transmitter capable of;
i. attempting transmission of the profile data to the server by a first communication protocol; and
ii. if the first communication protocol is not available, or if the transmission at (i) fails, attempting retransmission by a second communication protocol;
wherein the server is capable of invoking a corrective action on the mobile device based on the profile data received. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
