US Patents:
|
6,970,917: System and method for remote control and management of wireless devices. Used widely to underpin a wide range of over-the-air MDM activities, this patent covers unique techniques for managing, controlling, and reconfiguring wireless devices remotely over a wireless network with acceptable reliability and security. |
|
|
7,343,408: System and method for wireless data terminal management using telecommunication signaling network. Used widely for pushing device management commands for remotely managing, controlling and securing wireless devices, this patent covers the key steps of establishing a communication connection between a server and a wireless device over a signaling channel of the telecommunications network, transmitting a command from the server to the wireless device, and executing the command at the wireless device. |
|
|
7,707,632: System and method for automatically altering device functionality. Used to underpin any contextual MDM activity to a device that changes configuration, capabilities or status of the device based on the occurrence of certain predetermined conditions, this patent covers establishing a link between a device and a trusted server to provide an association between various conditions that may be detected at the device and actions that are to be taken on the device, including disabling hardware capabilities, enforcing policies and detecting/quarantining viruses on the device. |
|
|
7,996,906: System and method for automatically altering device functionality. A continuation of US patent 7,707,632, this patent further describes methods for automatically detecting conditions and triggering specific actions on a wireless device such as enabling/disabling hardware capabilities, enforcing policies and detecting/quarantining viruses. |
|
|
7,925,740: System and method for service quality management for wireless devices. This patent covers detecting and recording events related to the quality of service experienced by a wireless device in a wireless network, including initiating performance monitoring tests on the wireless device at the direction of a management server, independent of the network in which the device may be operating, storing the results of these tests and reporting the results to the management server. |
|
|
7,991,427: System and method to provide application management on wireless data terminals by means of device management agent and dynamic link libraries. This patent underpins the ability of third-party applications on a wireless device to communicate and be controlled by a remote management server via a management client plug-in interface. |
|
|
8,001,379: Credential generation system and method for communications devices and device management servers. This patent describes a unique credential generation algorithm that uses a plurality of seeds to generate two sets of credentials, one to be used by the device and the other to be used by the device management server. The credentials are exchanged between the device and the server during any session, thereby assuring mutual authentication. |
|
|
8,010,100: System and method for monitoring and measuring end-to-end performance using wireless devices. The patent describes unique mechanisms by which a wireless device dynamically initiates a session to automatically conduct a performance test and transfers the results to a monitoring server under appropriate conditions. |
Patents Outside the US:
|
EPO 1493290: System and method for wireless data terminal management using general packet radio service network. The European equivalent of US patents 6,970,917 and 7,343,408, this patent comprises the steps of establishing a communicative connection between the server and the wireless device over a packet radio channel of the telecommunications network, transmitting a command from the server to the wireless device over the packet radio channel, and executing the command at the wireless device. |
|
|
JP 4604029: System and method for over the air (OTA) wireless device and network management. The Japanese equivalent of US patents 6,970,917 and 7,343,408, this patent describes unique methods for remotely managing, controlling, and reconfiguring wireless devices by establishing a communication connection between a server and a wireless device over a signaling channel of the telecommunications network, transmitting a command from the server to the wireless device, and executing the command at the wireless device. |
