Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method and a device for creating an MO instance in the management tree of a terminal device. The method for creating the MO instance in the management tree of the terminal device comprises adding the node value to an unnamed node or a specified node of the unnamed node in the MO of the management tree in the terminal device, obtaining data information relative to the content of the unnamed node or the specified node of the unnamed node, generating the name of the unnamed node according to the data information, and adding the MO instance into the management tree of the terminal device. The present disclosure accordingly provides a communications device.

the generating of the name of the unnamed node according to the data information comprises;

obtaining the node value of the specified node under the unnamed node according to the name of the specified node under the unnamed node, and setting the node value of the specified node under the unnamed node as the name of the unnamed node.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein:

the data information reflects a mapping between a name of a parent node of the unnamed node and a name of the specified node;

the generating of the name of the unnamed node according to the data information comprises;

querying the name of the specified node under the unnamed node according to the name of the parent node of the unnamed node and the mapping,

obtaining the node value of the specified node under the unnamed node according to the name of the specified node under the unnamed node, and

setting the node value of the specified node as the name of the unnamed node.

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

determining whether the unnamed node is a leaf node wherein;

when the unnamed node is determined to be the leaf node, the data information is the node value of the unnamed node; and

the generating of the name of the unnamed node according to the data information comprises;

setting the node value of the unnamed node as the name of the unnamed node.

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

determining whether the unnamed node is an internal node wherein;

when the unnamed node is determined to be the internal node, determining the quantity of sub-nodes of the unnamed node,

when the unnamed node is determined to have one sub-node, the data information is a node value of the sub-node; and

the generating of the name of the unnamed node according to the data information comprises;

setting the node value of the sub-node as the name of the unnamed node.

8. The method according to claim 7, wherein:

when the unnamed node is determined to have multiple sub-nodes, the data information is node values of the multiple sub-nodes; and

the generating of the name of the unnamed node according to the data information comprises;

matching names of all the sub-nodes of the unnamed node with keywords preset in a keyword list wherein;

when only one sub-node is successfully matched, setting a node value of the sub-node that is successfully matched as the name of the unnamed node, and

when the multiple sub-nodes are successfully matched, selecting one sub-node from the multiple sub-nodes that are successfully matched and setting a node value of the selected sub-node as the name of the unnamed node.

9. The method according to claim 8, wherein the matching of the names of all the sub-nodes of the unnamed node with the keywords preset in the keyword list comprises:

determining whether the names of all the sub-nodes of the unnamed node are successfully matched with the keywords preset in the keyword list wherein;

if all of the sub-nodes of the unnamed node are successfully matched, matching is successful, and

if no sub-node of the unnamed node matches the keywords, determining whether the names of the sub-nodes of the unnamed node contain characters of the keywords preset in the keyword list such that matching is successful when the names of the sub-nodes of the unnamed node contain characters of the keywords preset in the keyword list.

10. The method according to claim 8, wherein when the multiple sub-nodes are successfully matched, the selecting of one sub-node from the multiple sub-nodes that are successfully matched and setting of the node value of the selected sub-node as the name of the unnamed node comprises:

selecting the one sub-node from the multiple sub-nodes that are successfully matched according to a priority level of the sub-nodes that match the keywords and setting the node value of the selected sub-node as the name of the unnamed node.

11. The method according to claim 10, wherein the priority level of the sub-nodes that match the keywords is determined according to a sequence of the sub-nodes that match the keywords, whether corresponding node values are available, types of the corresponding node values, and a length of the corresponding node values, or any combination thereof.

12. The method according to claim 8, wherein:

when the matching fails, the sub-node is randomly selected and a node value of the sub-node is set as the name of the unnamed node.

13. The method according to claim 7, wherein:

when the node value of the sub-node is set to the name of the unnamed node, if the sub-node has no corresponding node value, the name of the sub-node is set as the name of the unnamed node.

14. The method according to claim 4, wherein:

when the node value is set as the name of the unnamed node, if the node value contains special symbols, the node value is replaced with preset characters.

15. The method according to claim 4, wherein:

when the node value is set as the name of the unnamed node, if a length of the node value exceeds a threshold, part of characters in the node value are truncated and set as the name of the unnamed node.

16. The method according to claim 1, wherein the MO instance in the management tree of a terminal device tree of the terminal device is created by a server or the terminal device, the method further comprises:

when the name of the unnamed node is being generated, adding into the name of the unnamed node an identifier of the server or the terminal device that creates the MO instance of the management tree in the terminal device.
