DEVICE MANAGEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18554123 titled 'DEVICE MANAGEMENT

The abstract of this patent application describes an apparatus that is designed to manage a set of devices by storing their locations in a network hierarchy and performing management actions based on these locations.

  • The apparatus defines a set of devices for management actions.
  • It stores the location of each device in terms of network hierarchy.
  • Each location includes a network identifier of the device in at least three levels of the network hierarchy.
  • The management actions are performed on each device in the set in an order based on their locations.
  • The order ensures that devices are separated at as high a level of the network hierarchy as possible.

Potential Applications: - Device management in Internet of Things (IoT) systems - Device management in 5G networks

Problems Solved: - Efficient and organized device management in complex network environments - Optimization of device management actions based on network hierarchy

Benefits: - Improved efficiency in managing a large number of devices - Enhanced organization and control over device management processes

Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Device Management System for IoT and 5G Networks" This technology could be utilized by telecommunications companies, IoT device manufacturers, and network management companies to streamline device management processes and improve overall network performance.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve the management of IoT devices in complex network environments? - This technology enhances device management by organizing devices based on their locations in the network hierarchy, allowing for more efficient and targeted management actions.

2. What are the advantages of performing device management actions based on network hierarchy levels? - By performing management actions based on network hierarchy levels, this technology ensures that devices are managed in a structured and organized manner, leading to improved overall network performance.


Original Abstract Submitted

According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus configured to define a set of devices for a device management action, store a location of each one of the devices, each location being defined in terms of network hierarchy, each location comprising a network identifier of the device in at least three levels of the network hierarchy, and perform the device management action on each device in the set in an order selected based on the location such that consecutive ones of the devices in the order are separated at as high a level of the network hierarchy as possible. The devices may comprise Internet of Things devices or 5G user equipments, for example.
