METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANAGING PROFILE INFORMATION OF MOBILE TERMINAL IN MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method for managing profile information of a mobile terminal in a mobile communications system, comprising:
- registering profile information of the mobile terminal at a central system via a local system, the profile information having dynamic profile information and static profile information;
registering DB (database) information of an external local system using a same profile format as that used in the central system to thereby manage the dynamic profile information and the static profile information of the mobile terminal; and
registering DB information of another external local system using a profile format different from that used in the central system to thereby manage the dynamic profile information and the static profile information of the mobile terminal.

Abstract
A method for managing profile information of a mobile terminal in a mobile communications system includes: registering profile information of the mobile terminal at a central system via a local system, the profile information having dynamic profile information and static profile information; and registering DB (database) information of an external local system using a same profile format as that used in the central system to thereby manage the dynamic profile information and the static profile information of the mobile terminal. The method further includes registering DB information of another external local system using a profile format different from that used in the central system to thereby manage the dynamic profile information and the static profile information of the mobile terminal.

10. A method for managing profile information of a mobile terminal in a mobile communications system including a device management agent of a device management server, profile databases having a dynamic profile database and a static profile database, a content server and an application service server, the method comprising:
-
sending, by the mobile terminal, a registration request for profile information of the mobile terminal to the device management agent; checking, by the device management agent, whether the profile information is dynamic profile information or static profile information; registering the profile information at the dynamic profile database or at the static profile database according to the checking result; sending, by the mobile terminal, a request for an application service to the device management agent; checking, by the device management agent, a type of the application service and determining whether the mobile terminal stores therein a service module appropriate for the application service; sending, by the device management agent, a request for a download of a service module appropriate for the service to the application service server if it is determined that the mobile terminal does not have the service module appropriate for the application service; sending, by the application service server, the service module appropriate for the application service to the mobile terminal in response to the request for the download; determining, by the device management agent, whether a content format of the application service is available in the mobile terminal if it is determined that the mobile terminal has the service module appropriate for the application service; and sending, by the device management agent, a content to the mobile terminal if it is determined that the content format of the application service is available in the mobile terminal. - View Dependent Claims (11)

12. An apparatus for managing profile information of mobile terminals in a mobile communications system, comprising:
-
a terminal agent installed in each mobile terminal for sending and receiving profile information of the mobile terminal through a network, the profile information having static profile information and dynamic profile information; a content server for providing a content to the mobile terminal; an application service server for providing an application service to the mobile terminal; and a device management server for managing a static profile database for storing therein the static profile information and a dynamic profile database for storing therein the dynamic profile information and interoperating with the content server and the application service server. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
