[0015] Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings. While certain embodiments of the present disclosure will be described, the present disclosure can be embodied in various forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art. It should be understood that the drawings and embodiments are only for illustrative purposes and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0016] It should be noted that the titles of any sections / subsections provided herein are not limiting. Various embodiments are described throughout this document and any type of embodiment can be included under any section / subsection. Furthermore, embodiments described in any section / subsection can be combined with any other embodiment described in the same section / subsection and / or a different section / subsection in any manner.

[0017] In the description of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the term "comprising" and its similar terms are understood to be open-ended, i.e., "including but not limited to". The term "based on" is understood to be "based, at least in part, on". The term "one embodiment" or "the embodiment" is understood to be "at least one embodiment". The term "some embodiments" is understood to be "at least some embodiments". The following can also include other explicit and implicit definitions. The terms "first", "second", etc. can refer to different or same objects. The following can also include other explicit and implicit definitions.

[0018] The embodiments of the present disclosure can involve data of users, acquisition and / or use of data, etc. These aspects all comply with corresponding laws and regulations and relevant provisions. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, all data collection, acquisition, processing, processing, forwarding, use, etc. are performed on the premise that the user is aware of and confirms. Accordingly, when implementing the embodiments of the present disclosure, the type of data or information that can be involved, the use range, the use scenario, etc. should be notified to the user and the authorization of the user should be obtained through appropriate means according to relevant laws and regulations. The specific notification and / or authorization manner can vary according to the actual situation and application scenario, and the scope of the present disclosure is not limited in this aspect.

[0019] In the present specification and embodiments, if personal information processing is involved, it will be processed on the premise of legality (for example, obtaining the consent of the subject of personal information, or being necessary for the performance of a contract, etc.), and only within the prescribed or agreed range. The user refuses to process personal information other than the necessary information required for the basic function, which does not affect the user's use of the basic function.

[0020] Since device management is generally implemented based on a management application installed on a terminal device, but the management application can be closed, etc., there is a risk that the terminal management server cannot reach the management instruction to the terminal device to be managed, that is, the terminal device cannot establish a connection with the terminal management server to obtain the management instruction, and then the terminal device cannot execute the device management task based on the management instruction.

[0021] The embodiments of the present disclosure propose a scheme for implementing unified management of terminal devices. According to the scheme, in response to receiving an activation instruction of a terminal device, a connection with a terminal management server is established; the activation instruction is sent by the terminal device after receiving a first notification from a push notification service corresponding to a system platform of the terminal device, and the push notification service sends the first notification in response to a first instruction of the terminal management server; a management instruction from the terminal management server is received; and based on the management instruction, a corresponding device management task is executed on the terminal device.

[0022] Based on such a manner, the embodiments of the present disclosure can ensure that when the terminal device cannot be reached by the instruction of closing the management application and the like, the connection between the terminal management client and the terminal management server can be established based on the triggering instruction, and the management execution based on the connection can effectively reach the terminal device, effectively improving the efficiency of device management and reducing the security risk. In addition, regardless of the system platform corresponding to the terminal device, the terminal management client can receive the activation instruction based on the first notification sent by the push notification service corresponding to the platform system, and then establish the connection between the terminal management client and the terminal management server, so that the terminal devices corresponding to different system platforms can be uniformly managed.

[0023] Example Environment

[0024] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented is shown. As shown, the example environment 100 can include a terminal device 110, a terminal management server 120, and a terminal management client 130, wherein the terminal management client 130 is on the terminal device 110. Figure 1

[0025] In this example environment 100, for the case that the management instruction cannot be issued to the terminal device 110, the terminal management server 120 can send a first notification to the terminal device via a push notification service 150 corresponding to the system platform corresponding to the terminal device 110. Further, the terminal device can send an activation instruction to the terminal management client 130 in response to receiving the first notification. The push notification service 150 sends the first notification in response to the first indication of the terminal management server.

[0026] Further, the terminal management client 130 can establish a connection with the terminal management server 120 in response to receiving the activation instruction, and then receive the management instruction sent by the terminal management server 120. Further, the terminal management client 130 can execute the corresponding device management task on the terminal device 110 based on the management instruction.

[0027] ​The terminal device 110 can be any type of mobile terminal, fixed terminal, or portable terminal including a mobile handset, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a notebook computer, a netbook computer, a smartbook, a media computer, a multimedia tablet, a palmtop computer, a portable gaming terminal, a VR / AR device, a Personal Communication System (PCS) device, a personal navigation device, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), an audio / video player, a digital camera / camcorder, a positioning device, a television receiver, a radio broadcast receiver, an electronic book device, a game device, or any combination thereof, including an accessory or peripheral device thereof or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 can also be capable of supporting any type of interface to a user (such as “wearable” circuitry, etc.).

[0028] The terminal management server 120 can be a standalone physical server, a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server providing basic cloud computing services such as cloud service, cloud database, cloud computing, cloud function, cloud storage, network service, cloud communication, middleware service, domain name service, security service, content distribution network, and big data and artificial intelligence platform. The terminal management server 120 may, for example, include a computing system / server, such as a mainframe, an edge computing node, a computing device in a cloud environment, and the like.

[0029] It should be understood that the structure and function of the various elements in the environment 100 are described for illustrative purposes only, without implying any limitation on the scope of the present disclosure.

[0030] Some example embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with continued reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] Example Process

[0032] Figure 2 A flowchart of a process 200 implementing unified management of terminal devices is shown in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure. The process 200 can be implemented at the terminal management client 130. The process 200 will be described below with reference to Figure 1 the environment 100.

[0033] At block 210, the terminal management client 130 establishes a connection with the terminal management server 120 in response to receiving an activation instruction of the terminal device 110; the activation instruction is sent by the terminal device 110 after receiving a first notification from the push notification service 150 corresponding to a system platform of the terminal device 110, and the push notification service 150 sends the first notification in response to a first indication of the terminal management server 120.

[0034] In some embodiments, the terminal management server 120 is responsible for managing and controlling the terminal devices connected to it, and can store device information, security policies, application configurations, etc. As an example, the terminal management server 120 can send management instructions to the terminal devices connected to it, so that the terminal devices 110 connected to it perform corresponding device management tasks based on the received management instructions. The management instructions can be any appropriate instructions for managing the management application of the terminal device 110, such as installation settings for the management application, uninstallation settings for the management application, settings for corresponding predetermined information of the management application 111 (such as settings for password policies), etc. In some embodiments, the terminal management client is integrated in the management application.

[0035] In some embodiments, the management instructions can be for management of at least one terminal device corresponding to at least one system platform. In some embodiments, the system platform can indicate different versions of the operating system. The system platform can be based on different customized versions of the mobile operating system by different manufacturers, where the manufacturers are different, the versions of the customized operating system are generally also different.

[0036] As an example, the terminal management server 120 can send the generated management instructions to each terminal device to be managed based on the message server 140, i.e. the terminal management server 120 can send the management instructions to the message server 140. Further, the message server 140 can send the management instructions to each terminal device to be managed.

[0037] For some terminal devices corresponding to some system platforms, an interface can be provided in the terminal device to prevent the user from deleting the management application or closing the management application, but there are also terminal devices corresponding to some system platforms that do not provide an interface to prevent the user from deleting the management application or closing the management application, so if the management application is closed, the device can be avoided from being supervised, which will exist the risk of security problems. Of course, even if the terminal device provides an interface to prevent the user from deleting the application or closing the management application, when the management application is installed, the user may not confirm the authorization of the management application not to be deleted or not to be closed, and there is also a risk that the management application is closed. In addition, when the terminal device is in a situation of low power or in a sleep state, it can also cause the management application in the terminal device to exist the risk of being closed.

[0038] In some embodiments, if the management application 111 on a terminal device to be managed is closed, the connection between the terminal device and the message server 140 cannot be established at this time, and thus the terminal management server 120 cannot send a management instruction to the terminal device to be managed based on the message server 140. As an example, the message server 140 can be a message queuing telemetry transport (MQTT) server, that is, it can be a message broker based on the MQTT protocol, which serves as an intermediary between the terminal management server 120 and the terminal device 110 to send a management instruction from the terminal management server 120 to the terminal device 110.

[0039] In order to ensure that the terminal device 110 can be managed when the management application on the terminal device 110 is closed, and to improve the security of device management, the present disclosure can receive an activation instruction via the push notification service 150 corresponding to the system platform of the terminal device 110 to start the closed management application 111 in response to not receiving a confirmation that prohibits the management application from performing a predetermined operation when the management application is installed on the terminal device 110. The predetermined operation can be a closing operation, etc.

[0040] Specifically, the terminal management server 120 can determine the push notification service 150 corresponding to the system platform of the terminal device 110 based on the system platform of the terminal device 110, wherein different system platforms correspond to different push notification services. Further, the terminal management server 120 can send a first notification to the terminal device 110 via the push notification service 150, wherein the first notification is sent by the push notification service 150 in response to a first instruction of the terminal management server 120. Further, the terminal device 110 can send an activation instruction to the terminal management client 130. The activation instruction is to instruct to start the management application installed on the terminal device 110.

[0041] Since the communication function provided by the management application is mainly implemented based on the message client 112 built in the management application, which is a component or module inside the management application 111, the terminal management client 130 can start the message client 112 built in the terminal management client 130. Further, the terminal management client 130 can establish a first connection between the message client 112 and the message server 140, wherein the message server 140 has a connection with the terminal management server 120.

[0042] As an example, the message client 112 can actively establish a first connection between the message client 112 and the message server 140 to ensure that the message client 112 of the terminal device 110 can communicate with the message server 140 for message transmission.

[0043] At block 220, the terminal management client 130 receives a management instruction from the terminal management server 120.

[0044] In some embodiments, the terminal management client 130 can obtain the management instruction from the message server 140 via the first connection between the message client 112 and the message server 140, where the management instruction in the message server 140 is sent by the terminal management server 120. The message server 140, as a high-performance message middleware, can support the connection and message transmission of a large number of devices, and has high scalability and manageability.

[0045] At block 230, the terminal management client 130 performs a corresponding device management task on the terminal device based on the management instruction.

[0046] In order to realize unified management of devices, a universal tool package set, i.e., a set of preset tool packages, can be installed on each terminal device corresponding to each system platform. Taking the terminal device 110 as an example, the terminal management client 130 on the terminal device 110 can determine a first tool package corresponding to the system platform from a set of preset tool packages included in the terminal management client 130. In some embodiments, the set of preset tool packages can be integrated in a tool package adapter in application management to realize unified management of different devices. In some embodiments, the set of preset tool packages can correspond to different system platforms. Different system platforms can correspond to different versions of operating systems. The preset tool package can be any appropriate software development kit (SDK), which is a set of tools and libraries, which can include multiple interfaces to perform corresponding device management tasks.

[0047] For example, if a set of preset tool packages includes a tool package A corresponding to a device a produced by a vendor 1 and a tool package 2 corresponding to a device b produced by a vendor 2, where the system platforms corresponding to the device a and the device b are different versions customized by different vendors based on an operating system H, the terminal device 110 can determine the tool package A as the first tool package in response to determining that the corresponding vendor of the terminal device 110 is the vendor 1 and the corresponding operating system is the predetermined operating system H.

[0048] Further, the terminal management client 130 can perform a corresponding device management task on the terminal device 110 using the first tool package.

[0049] Specifically, the terminal management client 130 can execute a corresponding device management task on the terminal device by using a first interface corresponding to the management instruction in the first tool package. The first interface can be any appropriate Application Programming Interface (API), which is a set of pre-defined functions, protocols and tools. The first interface corresponding to the management instruction is used to execute the device management task corresponding to the management instruction.

[0050] It should be noted that each of the tool packages in the set of pre-set tool packages includes interfaces that can execute respective management tasks, and the interfaces corresponding to the same management task in different tool packages can be quite different.

[0051] In this way, the terminal management server 120 does not need to pay attention to the device information corresponding to each terminal device to be managed, and only needs to issue general management instructions. The terminal management client on each terminal device that can be managed can automatically adapt the first tool package corresponding to the terminal device based on the set of pre-set tool packages integrated in the management application of the terminal device, so as to execute the device management task corresponding to the management instruction based on the interface corresponding to the management instruction in the first tool package. This effectively simplifies the device management process and improves the compatibility and expansibility of the system.

[0052] In some embodiments, the terminal management client 130 can receive the management instruction sent by the terminal management server 120 in response to receiving a confirmation that the management application is prohibited from performing a predetermined operation when the management application is installed on the terminal device 110. Specifically, the terminal management client 130 can receive the management instruction sent by the terminal management server 120 via the message server 140 in response to receiving a confirmation that the management application is prohibited from performing a predetermined operation when the management application is installed on the terminal device 110, i.e., after receiving the confirmation that the management application is prohibited from performing a predetermined operation, the management application has been set to not allow being closed at any time. At this time, the terminal management server 120 and the terminal device 110 can always establish a connection via the message server 140, and there will be no problem that the terminal device 110 cannot obtain the management instruction. Further, the terminal management client 130 can execute a corresponding device management task on the terminal device 110 based on the management instruction.

[0053] In some embodiments, the terminal management client 130 can generate feedback information for the device management task in response to the device management task being performed to completion. In some embodiments, the terminal management client 130 can send the feedback information to the terminal management server 120. As an example, the terminal management client 130 can send the feedback information to the terminal management server 120 via the message server 140. In other embodiments, the terminal management client 130 can also send the feedback information to the terminal management server 120 via other channels.

[0054] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a device management system according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown, wherein Figure 3 The management application on all devices of the system platform A is managed, and the terminal device 110 corresponding to the system platform A is taken as an example for illustration.

[0055] In some embodiments, the terminal management server 120 can send the management instruction to the message server 140. If the management application of the terminal device 110 is in a closed state, at this time, no connection is established between the terminal management client 130 and the message server 140, and the terminal management client 130 cannot currently receive the management instruction sent by the terminal management server 120 via the message server 140.

[0056] In order to ensure that the management instruction can be sent to the terminal management client 130, the terminal management server 120 can send a first notification to the terminal device 110 via the push notification service corresponding to the system platform A. Further, the terminal device 110 can send an activation instruction to the terminal management client 130.

[0057] Further, the terminal management client 130 can start the management application 111 at the terminal device 110 in response to receiving the activation instruction. In some embodiments, the message client 112 can be built in the management application 111. The terminal device 110 can start the message client 112 built in the management application 111 at the same time of starting the management application 111. Further, the message client 112 can actively establish a connection with the message server 140 in response to being started to completion, and thus can obtain the management instruction sent by the message server 140.

[0058] Further, the terminal management client 130 can execute a corresponding device management task on the terminal device 110 based on the management instruction. For details of the process of executing the corresponding device management task on the terminal device 110 based on the management instruction, refer to the processes of blocks 301-304.

[0059] At block 301, a toolkit adapter is set in the management application 111, where the toolkit adapter is configured to determine a first toolkit from a common toolkit set based on a system platform corresponding to the terminal device 110. As an example, the common toolkit set is configured to support a terminal device corresponding to the operating system B to perform a predetermined device management task.

[0060] At block 302, the terminal management client 130 can determine the system platform corresponding to the terminal device 110.

[0061] Specifically, the terminal management client 130 can determine that the system platform corresponding to the terminal device 110 is the system platform A and the corresponding operating system is the operating system B based on the device information corresponding to the terminal device 110. Further, the terminal management client 130 can perform the operation of block 303.

[0062] At block 303, the terminal management client 130 can determine the toolkit corresponding to the system platform A from the common toolkit set.

[0063] As an example, the common toolkit set can include a first toolkit, a second toolkit, an Nth toolkit, and the like, where the first toolkit corresponds to the system platform A, the second toolkit corresponds to the system platform B, and so on, and each of the toolkits corresponds to a different system platform.

[0064] As an example, the terminal management client 130 can determine the first toolkit as the toolkit corresponding to the system platform A.

[0065] At block 304, the terminal management client 130 can determine a first interface.

[0066] As an example, the first toolkit can include a plurality of interfaces corresponding to a plurality of tasks. The terminal management client 130 can determine the first interface in the first toolkit based on the management instruction obtained from the message server 140 to execute the management instruction.

[0067] Further, the terminal management client 130 can execute the device management task corresponding to the management instruction on the terminal device 110 using the first interface.

[0068] Further, the terminal management client 130 can generate feedback information corresponding to the device management task in response to completion of the execution of the device management task.

[0069] In some embodiments, the terminal management client 130 can send the feedback information to the terminal management server 120. As an example, the terminal management client 130 can send the feedback information to the terminal management server 120 based on the message server 140. Specifically, the terminal management client 130 can send the feedback information to the message server 140. Further, the message server 140 can send the feedback information to the terminal management server 120 to notify the terminal management server 120 that the management application 111 on the terminal device 110 has been managed completely.

[0070] As another example, the terminal management client 130 can also send the feedback information to the terminal management server 120 based on other channels or paths, which are not described herein.

[0071] Based on such a manner, the terminal device of the embodiments of the present disclosure can send the activation instruction to the terminal management client in response to the first notification sent by the push notification service corresponding to the system platform of the terminal device, thereby ensuring that the terminal management client and the terminal management server can establish a connection, effectively ensuring that the management execution can reach the terminal device based on the connection, effectively improving the efficiency of device management, and reducing the security risk. In addition, regardless of the system platform corresponding to the terminal device, the terminal management client can receive the activation instruction based on the first notification sent by the push notification service corresponding to the platform system, which can ensure that the terminal devices corresponding to different system platforms can be uniformly managed.
