Session recovery during virtual mobile management

摘要

Disclosed is a method to enable wireless remote session recovery for a wireless device. Should a wireless device encounter a broken communication link during a virtual mobile management (VMM) operation, a method of automatic session recovery is disclosed which executes from a management console through a communication end-point gateway server in order to reconnect the mobile device. Under control of the session reconnection method, the device client listener and tools of wireless device re-establishes the signal and bearer links with a management console, over the air through the communication end-point gateway server (CEG). The communication utilizing the session recovery algorithm enables the wireless device to receive session information from the communication end-point gateway server, including the respective tools.

1. A method, as implemented in a server, of providing an automatic session recovery during a remote management session between a mobile device and the server, the method comprising:
detecting a broken communication link in the remote management session between the mobile device and the server during the on-going remote management session; communicating detection of the broken communication link between the mobile device and the server in the on-going remote management session to a management console; receiving an acknowledgement from the management console, wherein the management console transitions to a suspend state for the on-going remote management session for the mobile device; reestablishing the communication link between the mobile device and the server for the suspended on-going remote management session with the mobile device; transitioning to an open state for the on-going remote management session; and notifying the management console and the mobile device, wherein the mobile device accepts remote management session information and automatically performs remote management session reconnection enabling normal operations of the on-going remote management session.
