FIELD: radio engineering, communication.
SUBSTANCE: disclosed are various technologies and techniques for extending the functionality of the open mobile alliance (OMA) device management (DM) protocol. An addition is made to the OMA DM protocol that enables the server to specify node filtering criteria as part of a query to a target node on a mobile device to indicate a sub-set of the device management data for the target node that should be returned. As another variation, a modification is made to the OMA DM protocol that enables the server to specify what attributes should be selected on the mobile device in one parameter of a target URI of the Get command, and what format the device management data should be returned in as another parameter of the target URI of the Get command.
EFFECT: extending the functionality by providing access to applications and information on devices.
