Abstract

A method for transmitting a response to a command from a server in a wireless communication system, according to one embodiment of the present invention, is implemented by a terminal, and comprises the steps of: receiving a command from a server; implementing the command until a timeout expires; transmitting to the server, a first response including an identifier for the command if the implementation of the command is not completed until the timeout expires; and transmitting a second response including the result of the command and the identifier after the implementation of the command is completed.

Claims

1. A method for transmitting, by a terminal, a response to a command from a server in a wireless communication system, comprising:

receiving a command from the server;

executing the command until a timeout expires;

transmitting, to the server, a first response including an identifier for the command when execution of the command is not completed before the timeout expires; and

transmitting a second response including a result of the command and the identifier after completion of execution of the command.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the timeout is a predetermined value or a value transmitted from the server.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the timeout is determined as a predetermined value when the timeout is not explicitly received from the server.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the timeout is determined as a predetermined value when a timeout having a specific value is explicitly received from the server.

5. The method according to claim 1, further comprising generating the identifier for the command.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the identifier for the command is a value valid between a time when the first response is transmitted and a time when the second response is transmitted.

7. A method for transmitting, by a terminal, a response to a command from a server in a wireless communication system, comprising:

receiving a command package including a plurality of commands from the server;

executing the commands in the command package until a timeout expires;

transmitting, to the server, a first response including results of commands of which execution has been completed, from among the commands in the command package, and identifiers for remaining commands of which execution has not been completed when execution of all commands in the command package is not completed until the timeout expires; and

transmitting a second response including results of the remaining commands and the identifiers after completion of execution of the remaining commands.

8. The method according to claim 7, wherein the timeout is a predetermined value or a value transmitted from the server.

9. The method according to claim 7, wherein the timeout is determined as a predetermined value when the timeout is not explicitly received from the server.

10. The method according to claim 7, wherein the timeout is determined as a predetermined value when a timeout having a specific value is explicitly received from the server.

11. The method according to claim 7, further comprising generating the identifiers for the commands.

12. The method according to claim 7, wherein the identifiers are values valid between a time when the first response is transmitted and a time when the second response is transmitted.

13. A method for transmitting, by a terminal, a response to a command from a server in a wireless communication system, comprising:

receiving a command package including a plurality of commands from the server;

sequentially executing the commands in the command package until a timeout expires, including results of commands of which execution has been completed before expiration of the timeout in a first response, and including identifiers for remaining commands of which execution has not been completed before expiration of the timeout in the first response;

transmitting the first response to the server when a command to be initiated to execute is not present in the command package; and

transmitting a second response including results of the remaining commands and identifiers for the remaining commands after completion of execution of the remaining commands.

14. A terminal configured to transmit a response to a command from a server in a wireless communication system, comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) unit; and

a processor configured to control the RF unit,

wherein the processor is configured to receive a command from the server, to execute the command until a timeout expires, to transmit, to the server, a first response including an identifier for the command when execution of the command is not completed before the timeout expires and to transmit a second response including a result of the command and the identifier after completion of execution of the command.
