Method and System for Device Identity Check
First Claim
1. A method for checking an identity of devices in a device management system in a mobile telecommunication network, comprising:
- providing devices to be managed, a server-side device management application, a client-side device management application, and an interface between the device management applications, the interface having a database with lists of device identities consisting of equipment information and subscription information,a) the server-side device management application initiating a device management session via the interface,b) the interface sending a query to the client-side device management application,c) the client-side device management application reading equipment information and sending the equipment information to the interface,d) the interface comparing the read equipment information sent with previously stored equipment information for a particular subscription from which the equipment information was sent by fetching device identity information from the database and reporting a comparison result to the server-side device management application,e) starting a device management session between the client-side device management application and the server-side device management application when, according to the comparison result, the equipment information is new.

Abstract
The method is for checking an identity of devices in a device management system in a mobile telecommunication network. The system has devices to be managed, a server-side device management application, a client-side device management application, databases, and an interface between the device management applications. The server-side device management application initiates a device management session via the interface. The interface sends a query to the client-side device management application. The client-side device management application reads equipment information and sends it to the interface. The interface compares the equipment information sent with previously stored equipment information for the subscription from which the equipment information was sent and reports the comparison result to the server-side device management application.
