Method and device for configuring terminal devices

摘要

A method for configuring terminal devices is provided. The method includes sending a first message containing parameter values to a first terminal. The first terminal includes a data structure containing designations for each parameter value. The method includes storing, in response to receiving the first message, the parameter values in associated elements of the data structure. The method includes reading the data structure. The method includes determining the associated elements by determining the associated designations of the associated elements; or, comparing the data structure and an initial data structure before sending the first message. The first terminal contains the initial data structure. The method includes generating a second message including instructions for storing a parameter value in a second terminal. The instructions are generated as a result of evaluating the data structure. The instructions include the determined associated designations. The method includes sending the second message to the second terminal.

1. A method for configuring terminal devices, comprising:
sending a first configuration message comprising a plurality of parameter values to a first terminal device, wherein the first terminal device includes a data structure comprising, for each of the parameter values, an associated designation, wherein the first configuration message is a configuration message according to the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) Client Provisioning Specification which is arranged such that storage of the parameter values can take place in the first terminal device without additional information about the data structure of the first terminal device; automatically storing in the first terminal device, by an application included in the first terminal device, in response to receiving the first configuration message, the parameter values in associated elements of the data structure; reading the data structure containing the parameter values out of the first terminal device after storing the parameter values in associated elements of the data structure by the application; evaluating the read-out data structure of the first terminal device in a server to determine the associated elements by:
determining the associated designations of the associated elements; orcomparing the read-out data structure and an initial data structure before sending the first configuration message, wherein the first terminal device includes the initial data structure; generating a second configuration message comprising instructions for storing at least one of the parameter values in a second terminal device, wherein the instructions are generated as a result of evaluating the read-out data structure of the first terminal device, and wherein the instructions include the determined associated designations of the associated elements; and sending the second configuration message to the second terminal device.
