DEVICE MANAGEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240224164 titled 'DEVICE MANAGEMENT

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

  • The apparatus defines a set of devices for device 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 device management actions are performed on each device in the set in an order selected based on the location.
  • The order ensures that consecutive devices are separated at as high a level of the network hierarchy as possible.
  • The devices involved may include Internet of Things devices or 5G user equipments.

Potential Applications: - Device management in IoT networks - Network optimization in 5G environments - Efficient deployment of network resources

Problems Solved: - Streamlining device management processes - Enhancing network performance and efficiency - Simplifying the handling of large numbers of devices

Benefits: - Improved network organization - Enhanced scalability and flexibility - Optimized resource allocation

Commercial Applications: Title: "Next-Generation Device Management System for IoT and 5G Networks" This technology could be utilized by telecommunications companies, IoT device manufacturers, and network infrastructure providers to enhance the management and performance of their systems.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the apparatus determine the order in which device management actions are performed based on device location? 2. What are the key advantages of separating devices at higher levels of the network hierarchy during management actions?


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.
