Description to Fig. 1 also is used to describe Fig. 2 and Fig. 3.

Fig. 1 shows according to exemplary DM server of the present invention (100) and terminal (200).

(1) feature of DM server

DM server (100) can comprise DM scheduling enabler (110) or other similar hardware, software or its combination in any.

DM scheduling enabler (110) can comprise similar hardware, software or its combination in any of DM scheduler context manager module (111) and status report processing module (112) and/or other types.

Scheduler context manager module (111) can have and is used for generating scheduling context and requesting terminal (200) and installs and carry out its unit (i.e. part, element etc., or its combination).

More specifically, scheduler context manager module (111) is set up and equipment control (DM) session of terminal (200) (or other types communicate by letter time limit or cycle) according to relative standard's (for example DM standard), can come requesting terminal (200) that the scheduling context is installed via the DM session of being set up then.

The scheduling context can comprise general information and one or more scheduling ingredient.Also comprise the information, parameter of additional and/or alternative type etc.At this, general information can comprise with the next item down or more multinomial: dispatch the state elements of contextual identifier elements, name element, corresponding server element, effective period element, the contextual state of expression scheduling, and relate to StateOP (node) element of dispatching contextual State Control.

Scheduling ingredient can comprise with the next item down or more multinomial: specify the DM order Task (task) element, specify Cond (condition) element, appointment and the user of the condition (being reason, factor, parameter etc.) of carrying out the DM order mutual User Interaction (user interactions) element, specify and whether the result who carries out the DM order should be reported to Gating (gating) element of (or indication to) server, and indicate whether should be to the state of server reporting terminal or the Event of incident (incident) element.Yet, it should be noted that element is not limited in column element, but can use different additional elements or only use in institute's column element some.

At this, device management command can be included in the message.In other words, this message can comprise at least one or more a plurality of device management command.If use message, then task element is specified this message.And, above-mentioned condition can be based on timer, based on trap or based on threshold value.Additional or the alternative basis of all right service condition.And the gating condition represents whether terminal (200) needs the report executing result after carrying out the DM order.

Simultaneously, may there be one or more scheduling ingredient in the scheduling context, and can has the binding logical relation between these scheduling ingredients.That is, scheduling ingredient can be (interworked) that acts on each other.For example, this " effect each other " can refer to that if satisfy the condition of first scheduling, then module (or other entities) is carried out the order of first scheduling ingredient, and stops the order of second scheduling ingredient.This is very useful for the scheduling based on threshold value, can carry out one or more composition respectively based on concrete threshold value by over-over mode thus.

The notion of " effect each other " can be applicable to dispatch context.That is to say that if the contextual first scheduling context of at least one or more a plurality of scheduling begins, then described at least one or the contextual second scheduling context of more a plurality of scheduling stop.

The scheduling context can be revised (promptly proofread and correct, change, modification etc.) as required by scheduler context manager module (111), or can ask this type of revision to terminal (200).And, scheduler context manager module (111) but the scheduling context installed of requesting terminal (200) deletion.

In addition, when the scheduling context of installing in the terminal (200) or reinstalling changes or mistake occurs, if perhaps the scheduling context state changes, then scheduler context manager module (111) can receive message (or other indications) and carry out its suitable processing from terminal (200).

Task element, Cond element have been described above, User Interaction element, Gating element, and the Event element is included in the situation in the scheduling ingredient.But, should be noted that as shown in Figure 3 these elements can directly be included in the scheduling context.

(2) feature of terminal

Terminal (200) can comprise DM scheduling enabler (210) and DM enabler (220).At this, will be understood that and also can use other similar hardware, software or its combination in any.

DM scheduling enabler (210) can comprise scheduling context installed module (211), condition matching module (212), DM command execution module (213), gating module and status report module (215).At this, will be understood that and also can use other similar hardware, software or its combination in any.

Scheduling context installed module (211) is and to carry out its suitably unit of processing (that is, partly, element etc., or its combination) from the request of installing of server (110) (that is, DM dispatch enabler (110)) receiving scheduling context.At this, the scheduling context can receive by DM enabler (220), can be delivered to scheduling context installed module (211) then.Scheduling context installed module (211) utilization scheduling context generates one or more node (or classification node of other types) in equipment control (DM) tree (or the hierarchy of other types or logical format) of using in the terminal (200).At this, the DM tree can be formed by general information nodes and one or more scheduling ingredient (equipment control of being dispatched).

Describe DM tree (promptly dispatch context form is installed) in detail with reference to Fig. 2.

Fig. 2 shows exemplary DM tree.More specifically, universal nodes (as shown in Figure 2) can comprise the Id node of the contextual identifier of scheduling that expression is installed, Name (title) node of the contextual title of expression scheduling, Valid (effectively) node of the contextual effectual time of expression scheduling, the contextual owner's of expression scheduling Server (server) node, State (state) node of the contextual current state of expression scheduling, and the StateOP node of the contextual State Control of expression scheduling.Can know to be understood that the title of these nodes and type only are exemplary.

At this, some examples of the contextual current state of scheduling that can be represented by the State node are as shown in the table.That is, the scheduling context can be one of following state: Stopped (stopping), Running (operation) or Suspended (time-out).Also have many other additional or alternative states.

State	Describe
		Stopped	The activity of scheduling context right and wrong.And, all right and wrong activities of included whole scheduling ingredients.The scheduling context of just having installed and having disposed and reconfigure can be in this state.The scheduling context can be converted to this state after despatching work is finished.Leave this state, the scheduling context starts from having each scheduling ingredient of himself original state.
Running	The scheduling context is movable.More specifically, at least one scheduling ingredient can be movable.If the neither one scheduling ingredient is movable, then dispatches context and must be automatically changeb to halted state.
		Suspended	The activity of scheduling context right and wrong.Included whole scheduling ingredients are all kept their state.Leave this state, the scheduling context begins the state when it suspends to continue.

Dispatching contextual state can be by server (100), by terminal (200) self, or changes (promptly revise, adjustment etc.) by the user of terminal (200).Can use various conditions to trigger this change.

For example, if when carrying out equipment control, or equipment control is when finishing, or carrying out mistake having occurred before any modification or the deletion owing to server (100) or user's request, then dispatches context and can change (promptly changing) to halted state.

The StateOP node can comprise Start (beginning) child node, Stop (stopping) child node, Suspend (time-out) child node and Resume (continuation) child node.Clearly, can use the additional of other types or alternative node.Describe these child nodes below in detail:

Child node	Describe	The state of being suitable for
			Start	This operation is used for beginning to dispatch context from original state, promptly dispatches context and begins to be set to the operation of assigning to of being scheduled to of initial value separately.If success is then dispatched context and is moved to running status.	Stopped
Stop	This operation is used to stop to dispatch context.If success then dispatch context and move to halted state, and included scheduling ingredient must become non-activity.	Running, Suspended
			Suspend	This operation is used for suspending the contextual operation of scheduling.Specifically, during this state, the state of included scheduling ingredient must keep.If success is then dispatched context and is moved to halted state.	Running
Resume	This operation is used for continuing the traffic control context from time-out.If success is then dispatched context and is moved to running status.	Suspended

Utilize each child node, can realize that (specify or carry out) is to dispatching the control of contextual state.In other words, if received execution (Exec) order (or order of other types) from server (100) in (or for) specific child node, then terminal (200) is carried out the Exec order so that the scheduling context change (changes) to receive the corresponding state of specific child node that Exec orders.

Like this, when the scheduling context changed its state according to the StateOP node, the state after this change can be reflected in the contextual State node of scheduling subsequently.

Scheduling ingredient can comprise with the next item down or multinomial: the Task node of expression DM order, specify the Condition node of the condition (or environment) of carrying out the DM order, specify mutual UI node with the user, specify the Gating node that whether result after the execution DM order should be reported to (or being notified to) server, whether expression should report the Event node of the state of (or notice) terminal to server, the State node of the current state (or situation) of expression scheduling ingredient, and InitState (original state) node of the original state of indication (or notice) scheduling ingredient.Clearly, can use the additional of other types or alternative node.

At this, the DM order is included in the message.Therefore, the Task node can be specified the message that comprises the DM order.Simultaneously, as mentioned above, Task node, Cond node, User Interaction node, Gating node, and the Event node is included in the scheduling ingredient.But, it should be noted that as shown in Figure 3 these elements can directly be included in the scheduling context.

The state of the scheduling ingredient that can be represented by the State node can change according to the contextual state of scheduling.That is,, then can enable scheduling ingredient according to the original state of representing by the InitState node if under the Running state, begin to dispatch context.And when the scheduling context was the Stopped state, scheduling ingredient can be changed into disabled state.When the scheduling context is the Suspended state, can keep this scheduling ingredient.After this, when the scheduling context continued, scheduling ingredient can be returned its Suspended state.Simultaneously, the state of a scheduling ingredient also can be owing to another scheduling ingredient changes.That is, first scheduling ingredient of described at least one or more a plurality of scheduling can make the second scheduling ingredient inertia of described at least one or more a plurality of scheduling when activity.This can be described as the effect each other of scheduling ingredient.

Owing to before the scheduling context is installed from the order of DM server (100), if desired, dispatch context installed module (211) and can optionally check scheduling contextual validity (or authenticity).

Condition matching module (212) be a kind of monitoring or the unit of checking the condition coupling that whether has execution in the scheduling ingredient (promptly, partly, element etc., or its combination), and when the condition of carrying out is mated, can send the request of carrying out with the corresponding DM order of these conditions to DM command execution module (213).At this, the condition of carrying out the DM order can be based on timer, based on trap, or based on threshold value.Also can use condition basis additional or alternative.

Specified the value of the cura specialis entity in the terminal (200) whether to reach pre-set threshold based on the step of threshold value.Therefore, carry out the value of condition matching module (212) monitoring (or inspection) the cura specialis entity of above-mentioned steps, itself and threshold value are compared, when reaching threshold value, can send the request of carrying out the DM order to DM command execution module (213).

In carrying out the condition matching module (212) of above-mentioned steps existence one or more scheduling ingredient (promptly, Equipment Management Function that has been scheduled or step), if and each scheduling ingredient all comprises with respect to the execution of the same cura specialis entity condition based on the step of threshold value, execution can act on respect to this cura specialis entity each other based on the condition of the step of threshold value, also can be monitored.

For example, we suppose that first scheduling ingredient (equipment control that promptly has been scheduled) and second scheduling ingredient (equipment control that promptly has been scheduled) are present in respectively in the scheduling context.And, we suppose that first scheduling ingredient comprises DM order and carries out first condition based on the step of threshold value with respect to the cura specialis entity, and second scheduling ingredient comprises the 2nd DM order and with respect to the execution second of the same cura specialis entity condition based on the step of threshold value.If like this, then, the value of cura specialis entity carries out first during based on the condition of the step of threshold value when satisfying, and condition matching module (212) request DM command execution module (213) is carried out DM order.And, when satisfying, the value of cura specialis entity carries out second during based on the condition of the step of threshold value, and condition matching module (212) request DM command execution module (213) is carried out the 2nd DM order.

Simultaneously, in order to monitor the condition of carrying out above-mentioned steps, may need the exectorial additional requirement of condition matching module (212).That is, in order to make condition matching module (212) fill order, the scheduling context can comprise how indication monitors the clause of executive condition (item).And the scheduling context can comprise the request (212) (coming fill order) for the condition matching module, and this request expression should still be monitored which measured value or variable randomly with specified time interval.

The unit that DM command execution module (213) if cooperate with DM enabler (220) when being a kind of condition coupling that exist to carry out the DM order is ordered with execution DM (, partly, element etc., or its combination).In other words, DM command execution module (213) sends the DM order to DM enabler (220), and receives by carrying out the result that the DM order obtains from DM enabler (220).

When carrying out the DM order, gating module (214) is a kind of unit that determines whether the status report of the execution result that occurs or terminal (200) is given DM server (100) (that is, partly, element etc., or its combination).As mentioned above, gating module (214) can determine whether the result of report executing order according to the Gating node.Alternatively, gating module (214) can determine whether report condition based on the Event node.

Status report module (215) is a kind of to the state of DM server (100) reporting terminal (200) or the unit of execution result.As mentioned above, when the state of contextual state of scheduling or scheduling ingredient changed, status report module (215) can be reported to DM server (100).And, as the result who carries out the DM order, need report by gating module (214) if think, then status report module (215) utilizes DM command execution results (that is, Status (state) message, Result (result) message or Alert (warning) message) to generate the report message that can send to DM server (100).At this, can utilize the message of general warning message or other types or the state of indicating to send to DM server (100) with report message or terminal (200).

DM enabler (220) is a kind of the cooperation with command execution module (213) to carry out the unit of DM order.More specifically, DM enabler (220) is carried out the DM order that receives from command execution module (214), then its result is returned (that is report) and gives command execution module (214).

So far, at DM server (100) with scheduler context manager module (111) and status report processing module (112), and have DM scheduling enabler (210) terminal (200) of (comprising scheduling context installed module (211), condition matching module (212), DM command execution module (213), gating module (214) and status report module (215)), and DM enabler (220) has been described the formation element of DM of the present invention system.Yet these elements also can be realized by the combination in any of processor (not shown), network interface (not shown) and memory device (not shown).
