Delivery of mobile station operational and self-performance test results to network in response to encrypted request message
First Claim
1. A method for operating a mobile station comprising:
- during the operation of the mobile station within a network, determining and storing a set of performance-related data in the mobile station, said performance-related data comprising information that represents both normal and abnormal conditions in the network and in the mobile station;
responsive to a triggering event, transmitting the set or a sub-set of the performance-related data to a computer for analysis; and
receiving at the mobile station a message for informing a user of the result of the analysis,wherein the triggering event is comprised of a receipt by the mobile station of an encrypted message to transmit the set or sub-set of the performance-related data, and further comprising decrypting the received message using an associated public key stored in the mobile station and transmitting the set or the sub-set of the performance-related data only in response to correctly decrypting the encrypted message,further wherein the public key stored in the mobile station is one of a set of public keys stored in the mobile station, wherein individual members of the set of public keys are associated with applications executable by the mobile station in cooperation with at least one of an encrypted command and an encrypted data set received from the wireless network that are decrypted by the mobile station using one of the set of public keys.

Abstract
A set of performance-related data that represents both normal and abnormal conditions in the network is determined and stored in a mobile station MS. The set or a sub-set of this data is transmitted to a computer for analysis upon a triggering event, and the MS user is informed of the analysis results. The triggering event is receipt by the MS of an encrypted message to transmit the set or sub-set of the data. The MS decrypts the received message using an associated public key stored in the MS and transmits the set or the sub-set of the performance-related data only in response to correctly decrypting the encrypted message. The public key is one of a set of public keys stored in the mobile station, wherein individual members of the set are associated with applications executable by the MS in cooperation with a received encrypted command or encrypted data set.

11. A mobile station comprising a wireless transceiver for conducting bidirectional communications with a wireless network, said mobile station further comprising a memory and a controller coupled to said memory and to said transceiver, characterized by said controller being operable for determining, during the operation of said mobile station, a set of performance-related data and for storing said determined set of performance-related data in said memory, wherein said performance-related data comprises information that represents both normal and abnormal conditions in the network and in the mobile station, said controller being responsive to an occurrence of a triggering event for transmitting said set or a subset of said performance-related data to a computer for analysis;
-
wherein the triggering event is comprised of a receipt by the mobile station of an encrypted message to transmit the set or sub-set of the performance-related data, and said controller being responsive to the receipt of the message for decrypting the received message using an associated public key stored in the mobile station and for transmitting the set or the sub-set of the performance-related data only in response to correctly decrypting the encrypted message, further wherein the public key stored in the mobile station is one of a set of public keys stored in the mobile station, wherein individual members of the set of public keys are associated with applications executable by the mobile station in cooperation with at least one of an encrypted command and an encrypted data set received from the wireless network, the encrypted command and data set being decrypted by the mobile station using the associated one of the set of public keys. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
