Device profile retrieval in a management network
First Claim
1. A communication device comprising:
- communication circuitry that enables wireless communication with at least one remote server via a wireless network;
at least one memory containing machine readable code executable by a processor;
at least one processor operably coupled to the communication circuitry and the at least one memory;
wherein the machine readable code enables access, in separate device management sessions, to a plurality of management objects in accordance with an Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) device management (DM) protocol; and
wherein the machine readable code also enables access, in a single device management session, to a device profile comprising the plurality of management objects.

Abstract
A communication network supports mobile electronic devices, each containing different types of profile information relating to operation of the device and access to services of the network. Server functionality for device management, customer care, provisioning, diagnostics, downloading, and subscriber self-care are communicatively coupled to facilitate the sharing of device management tasks and information. Different types of profile information may be accessed/updated in a single session using a device management protocol. The mobile electronic device may track specific network and device events, and notify the server functionality of the occurrence of such events. Information about the occurrence of the tracked events, and profile information may be made accessible to external entities such as a device manufacturers and 3rd parties.
