Intelligent Mobile Device Management Client
First Claim
1. A method of managing a mobile client device over a network, comprising:
- storing management property values in one or more nodes of a management tree of the mobile client device;
analyzing and setting at least some of the management values in a server computer coupled to the mobile client device over a wireless network;
defining a set of management properties to include a status property representing a node severity value, and a property group consisting of a rule, an action property representing an action that is executed if the rule is satisfied, and a threshold value that represents a minimum value that is used as a rule parameter.

Abstract
Embodiments of an intelligent agent for an OMA DM enabled mobile client device are described. The intelligent agent includes modules for storing management property values in one or more nodes of an OMA DM management tree of the mobile client device. At least some of the management values are analyzed and set in a server computer coupled to the mobile client device over a wireless network. The intelligent mobile client is configured to manage itself based on initial instructions and policies provided by a server that are transferred to the client by the OMA DM protocol. For example, a client might notice that the battery is nearly empty and so it automatically decreases its own backlight illumination level. The intelligent agent defines a set of management properties to include a status property representing a node severity value, and a property group consisting of a rule, an action property representing an action that is executed if the rule is satisfied, and a threshold value that represents a minimum value that is used as a rule parameter.

21. A system to define and enforce policies on an Open Mobile Alliance Device Management (OMA DM) enabled mobile client device coupled to a server computer over a computer network, comprising:
-
a server-side process configured to allow creation, modification and transmission of defined policies to the mobile client device; a data store storing the defined policies on the basis of implementation requirements defined by one or more characteristics of the mobile client device, one or more characteristics of a user of the mobile client device, and one or more scheduling parameters; a transmission process transmitting the policies to the mobile client device in accordance with the implementation requirements; a client-side process executed on the mobile client device and configured store the defined policies in an OMA DM management tree in the mobile client device as management objects, wherein each policy of the defined policies is represented as a subnode of the management tree, the client-side process further configured to automatically implement the defined policies in accordance with the implementation requirements. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23)
