Abstract
The present disclosure enables remote device management. A programmatic interface is associated with each application plug-in. A web server included with the on-device agent provides access to the programmatic interfaces according to open standards such as HTML or XML. The present disclosure enables access to remote devices through existing infrastructure without the need for proprietary systems. An IT administrator or other administrator may remotely access and update software and hardware, track device data plan usage statistics, provide live support, and track current and historical device locations. An IT administrator or other user may update device settings, detect corrupt software, provide unattended installation of software, update applications while in use, and update applications sharing common files. IT administrators may employ the teachings of the present disclosure to provide customizable solutions for their own organization with features disclosed herein.
