Other embodiments provide a mobile device and computer-readable medium for performing or facilitating the method. | 10-06-2011 |
20110246978 | APPLICATION PORTABILITY AND TRANSFER OF DEVICE MANAGEMENT FOR MOBILE DEVICES - Provided are methods and apparatus for managing software components on a device when transferring device management responsibilities for the device from a first device management server to a second device management server. The capability to change device management servers while coordinating changes to software components on a managed device may be referred to as application portability. A mobile device in the present disclosure may change device management providers while maintaining access to certain licensed applications managed by a device management server. In an embodiment, a proprietary software component may be removed and a replacement software component installed from a category of applications that comprises the removed proprietary software component and the installed replacement software component. Also provided is a mechanism for managing software components on a mobile device switching network providers by sending configuration changes rather than reloading software components that are substantially similar. | 10-06-2011 |

Also disclosed is a network comprising a provisioning server configured to receive UE configuration and capability information, and subsequently provide an application based on the UE configuration and capability information. Also disclosed is a method comprising providing UE configuration and capability information from a UE, and receiving an application at the UE based on the configuration and capability information. Also disclosed is a method comprising receiving UE configuration and capability information at a provisioning server, and providing an application from the provisioning server based on the UE configuration and capability information. | 04-12-2012 |
20120309344 | Using Multiple User Accounts on a Mobile Device - A method for automated selection of a user account is provided. The method includes analyzing a plurality of parameters associated with operation of plurality of user accounts on a mobile device and selecting a user account based on the analysis. | 12-06-2012 |
20130031234 | METHODS AND APPARATUS TO COLLABORATIVELY MANAGE A CLIENT USING MULTIPLE SERVERS - An example device includes a processor configured to execute an Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) Device Management (DM) server, wherein the OMA DM server uses or includes an interface to send communications directly to a second OMA DM server for delegating management of a DM client. | 01-31-2013 |
20130031608 | METHODS AND APPARATUS TO TRANSFER MANAGEMENT CONTROL OF A CLIENT BETWEEN SERVERS - An example network device includes a processor configured to execute an Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) Device Management (DM) server, the OMA DM server to perform operations of: participating in mutual authentication with a second OMA DM server; sending a notification to the second OMA DM server for notifying the second OMA DM server to proceed with a delegation process; and sending, to a DM client, information for modifying an access control list (ACL). | 01-31-2013 |

20140012970 | METHODS AND DEVICES FOR FACILITATING A DOWNLOAD SESSION - Methods and devices for facilitating download of content, particularly data, from a third-party server using an administration server. The administration server determines that content is available on a third-party server. The administration server then determines that an electronic can establish a download session with the third-party server over a wireless network connection. The determination is based on analyzing one or more pre-determined rules, and the one or more pre-determined rules are based on an estimate of wireless network traffic load. In response to the determination, the administration server sends a notification to the electronic device to indicate that the content is available for download from the third-party server. | 01-09-2014 |
20140013450 | METHODS AND DEVICES FOR FACILITATING A DOWNLOAD SESSION - Methods and devices for facilitating download of content, particularly data, from a third-party server using an administration server. The administration server receives a request from an electronic device to download content from the third-party server over a wireless network connection. It then generates an authorization message in response to the request based on applying one or more pre-determined rules to the request, wherein the one or more pre-determined rules are based on an estimate of wireless network traffic load and sends the authorization message to the electronic device indicating whether the electronic device is authorized to establish a download session with the third-party server. | 01-09-2014 |
20140213233 | MOBILE EQUIPMENT CUSTOMIZATION USING A SINGLE MANUFACTURING CONFIGURATION - Personalization of a mobile device, including receiving at the mobile device a unique code; selecting, from a plurality of personalization policies stored on the mobile device a personalization policy that corresponds to the unique code; and storing the selected personalization policy in a persistent protected storage element of the mobile device. Customizing a mobile device, including determining at the mobile device a unique code; selecting, from a plurality of customized data sets stored on the mobile device a data set that corresponds to the unique code; and activating the selected data set on the mobile device. | 07-31-2014 |
20150082297 | UPDATING FIRMWARE ON MOBILE DEVICES - Updating firmware on mobile devices can be performed during device management (DM) sessions between mobile devices and one or more servers. A server can provide data to at least one node of a firmware update management object (FUMO) stored at a mobile device. The data can indicate a plurality of different update file locations accessible via a network. The mobile device can download a plurality of update files from the plurality of different update file locations via the network in response to receiving the command. From a set of update files, each mobile device can thus obtain its particular firmware update as a subset of the update files as indicated by its FUMO. Metadata may be provided to the FUMO to express one or more conditions that the mobile device must meet in order to download respective update files. | 03-19-2015 |
