Method for executing management operation by communication terminal and a terminal and system thereof
First Claim
1. A method for a terminal to execute a management operation in a communication system which employs an Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) device management solution, comprising:
- operating, by the terminal, a target operation node in a device capability management object as instructed in a management operation command received by the terminal;
wherein the terminal provides a device management tree, and the device capability management object is organized on the device management tree as a node, andtriggering, by operation of the target operation node, execution of a corresponding device capability management operation;
determining that the device capability management operation is valid, wherein the process of determining that the device capability management operation is valid comprises;
determining that the device capability management operation is applicable to a current status of a device capability of the terminal, anddetermining that an initiator of the management operation command has an authority to transit the current status of the device capability;
andtransiting, by the device capability management operation, a status of the device capability of the terminal from the current status to a target status indicated in the device capability management operation,wherein the initiator of the management operation command is determined to be a device management server, which has the authority, or a user of the terminal, which has the authority issued by the device management server;
the device capability management operation is to enable the device capability of the terminal; and
the current status of the device capability of the terminal is disable or kept disable, which is applicable according to the device capability management operation;
if the device capability management operation is determined to be valid, the method further comprises;
transiting, by the device capability management operation, the status of the device capability of the terminal from disable to enable.

Abstract
A method for executing a management operation by a terminal in a communications system. The method comprises the followings: The terminal receives the management operation commands that indicate the operation to target operation nodes in the device capability management object and operates them. The said operation initiates the process for executing the corresponding device capability management operation, then the said management operation transfers the device capability status. Also, the corresponding terminal and system are disclosed. The present invention can centrally manage and control the terminal capability.
