Abstract

A method for managing a mobile broadband device includes receiving, by the Web interface module via the Web protocol stack module, a management command that is sent by a user on a Web management page of a host device, where the Web management page is provided by the Web interface module; sending, by the Web interface module via the Web protocol stack module, the management command to the Web service implementing module; and receiving, by the Web service implementing module, the management command, and invoking an application programming interface that corresponds to the management command to execute the management command.

Claims

1. A method for managing a mobile broadband device, wherein the mobile broadband device comprises a Web protocol stack module, a Web interface module, and a Web service implementing module, wherein the Web interface module is an interface part for service implementation, and the method comprises:

identifying, by the Web protocol stack module, whether data sent by a host device is management data or service data;

sending, by the Web protocol stack module after determining that the data is the management data, the management data to the Web interface module;

enabling, by the Web interface module via the Web protocol stack module, the host device to present a Web management page;

receiving, by the Web interface module, a management command from a user via the Web management page of the host device;

sending, by the Web protocol stack module, the management command to the Web service implementing module;

receiving, by the Web service implementing module, the management command, and invoking an application programming interface that corresponds to the management command to execute the management command; and

storing, by the Web interface module, the Web management page for a user to manage the mobile broadband device in Web mode on the host device;

wherein the management command comprises a command of a short message service or a phone book service.

2. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

routing, by the Web protocol stack module and after determining that the data is the service data, the service data to a wireless protocol stack module of the mobile broadband device, so that the host device accesses a wireless network via the wireless protocol stack module.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein identifying, by the Web protocol stack module, whether data sent by the host device is management data or service data comprises:

identifying, by a TCP/IP protocol stack submodule in the Web protocol stack module, whether the data sent by the host device is the management data or the service data.

4. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

sending, by the Web service implementing module via the Web protocol stack module, an execution condition of the management command to the Web interface module;

updating, by the Web interface module, content of the Web management page based on the execution condition; and

enabling, by the Web interface module via the Web protocol stack module, the host device to present the updated Web management page.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein:

receiving, by the Web interface module, the management command comprises;

receiving, by the Web interface module via an HTTP server submodule in the Web protocol stack module, the management command from the user via the Web management page of the host device;

sending, the Web protocol stack module, the management command to the Web service implementing module comprises;

sending, by the Web interface module via the HTTP server submodule, the management command to the Web service implementing module; and

enabling, by the Web interface module via the Web protocol stack module, a host device to present a Web management page comprises;

enabling, by the Web interface module via the HTTP server submodule, a host device to present a Web management page.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein receiving, by the Web service implementing module, the management command, and invoking an application programming interface that corresponds to the management command to execute the management command comprises:

receiving, by a service invoking submodule of the Web service implementing module, the management command, and

distributing the management command to a service container submodule of the Web service implementing module or a service providing submodule of the Web service implementing module to execute the management command, wherein the service container submodule is configured to execute a service operation instruction in the management command, and the service providing submodule is configured to parse the service operation instruction and execute a corresponding lower-layer operation.

7. A mobile broadband device, comprising a processor configured to have a Web interface module, a Web protocol stack module and a Web service implementing module,

wherein:

the Web protocol stack module of the processor is configured to;

identify whether data sent by a host device is management data or service data;

after determining that the data is management data, send the management data to the Web interface module;

the Web interface module of the processor is configured to;

provide a Web management page for a user to manage the mobile broadband device in Web mode on the host device;

receive a management command from the host device; and

the Web service implementing module of the processor is configured to invoke an application programming interface corresponding to the management command to execute the management command;

wherein the Web interface module is an interface part for service implementation, and the Web interface module is configured to store the Web management page for a user to manage the mobile broadband device in Web mode on the host device;

wherein the management command comprises a command of a short message service or a phone book service.

8. The mobile broadband device according to claim 7, wherein the Web service implementing module comprises a service invoking submodule and a service container submodule or a service providing submodule, wherein:

the service invoking submodule is configured to receive the management command and distribute the management command to the service container submodule or the service providing submodule;

the service container submodule is configured to execute a service operation instruction in the management command; and

the service providing submodule is configured to parse the service operation instruction and execute a corresponding lower-layer operation.

9. A non-transitory machine readable storage medium having stored thereon at least one codes section for managing a mobile broadband device, wherein the mobile broadband device comprises a Web protocol stack module, a Web interface module, and a Web service implementing module, wherein the at least one code section is executable by a machine to cause the machine to perform acts of:

identifying, by the Web protocol stack module, whether data sent by a host device is management data or service data;

sending, by the Web protocol stack module after determining that the data is the management data, the management data to the Web interface module;

enabling, by the Web interface module via the Web protocol stack module, the host device to present a Web management page;

receiving, by the Web interface module, a management command from a user via the Web management page of the host device;

sending, by the Web protocol stack module, the management command to the Web service implementing module;

receiving, by the Web service implementing module, the management command, and invoking an application programming interface that corresponds to the management command to execute the management command; and

storing, by the Web interface module, the Web management page for a user to manage the wherein the management command comprises a command of a short message service or a phone book service.

10. The non-transitory machine readable storage medium according to claim 9, wherein the at least one code section causes the machine to perform acts of:
