Method and Apparatus for Implementing Mobile Broadband Device Service

Abstract

A method and an apparatus for implementing a mobile broadband device service includes, obtaining, service information of a mobile broadband device according to a rule set on the host or by calling an application programming interface (API) of a web server on the mobile broadband device, and in order to use a corresponding function of the host for implementing a mobile broadband device service corresponding to the service information, the method further includes executing, the corresponding function of the host by calling an API provided by an operating system (OS) of the host to implement the mobile broadband device service.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method implemented by a host, the method comprising:
 obtaining service information of a mobile broadband device by calling an application programming interface (API) of a web server on the mobile broadband device;   calling a reminder function of the host for implementing a reminder-type service when the service information is reminder-type service information comprising a new reminder;   executing the reminder function by calling an operating system (OS) API;   displaying the new reminder;   running a browser; and   displaying the service information in the browser.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 displaying a message prompt box on an OS interface; and   displaying the new reminder in the message prompt box.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the web server is an embedded web server integrated into the mobile broadband device, and wherein the web server is embedded with a web management page. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the API of the web server comprises a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) API. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the API of the web server comprises a socket interface of the web server. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the reminder function is for implementing a mobile broadband device service corresponding to the service information, and wherein the mobile broadband device service is implemented directly without calling the reminder function. 
     
     
         7 . A host for implementing a mobile broadband device service, comprising:
 a memory configured to store one or more programs; and   a processor coupled to a transceiver and the memory, wherein the processor is configured to execute the one or more programs to cause the host to:
 obtain service information of a mobile broadband device by calling an application programming interface (API) of a web server on the mobile broadband device; 
 call a reminder function of the host for implementing a reminder-type service when the service information is reminder-type service information comprising a new reminder; 
 execute the reminder function of the host by calling an operating system (OS) API; 
 display the new reminder; 
 run a browser on the host; and 
 display the service information in the browser. 
   
     
     
         8 . The host of  claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the one or more programs to cause the host to:
 display a message prompt box on an OS interface; and   display the new reminder in the message prompt box.   
     
     
         9 . The host of  claim 7 , wherein the web server is an embedded web server integrated into the mobile broadband device, and wherein the web server is embedded with a web management page. 
     
     
         10 . The host of  claim 7 , wherein the API of the web server comprises a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) API. 
     
     
         11 . The host of  claim 7 , wherein the API of the web server comprises a socket interface of the web server. 
     
     
         12 . The host of  claim 7 , wherein the reminder function is to be used for implementing the mobile broadband device service corresponding to the service information, and wherein the mobile broadband device service is implemented directly without calling the reminder function. 
     
     
         13 . A computer program product comprising computer-executable instructions for storage on a non-transitory computer-readable medium that, when executed by a processor, cause a host to:
 obtain service information of a mobile broadband device by calling an application programming interface (API) of a web server on the mobile broadband device;   call a reminder function of the host for implementing a reminder-type service when the service information is reminder-type service information including a new reminder;   execute the reminder function by calling an operating system (OS) API;   display the new reminder;   run a browser; and   display the service information in the browser.   
     
     
         14 . The computer program product of  claim 13 , wherein the computer-executable instructions further cause the host to:
 display a message prompt box on an OS interface; and   display the new reminder in the message prompt box.   
     
     
         15 . The computer program product of  claim 13 , wherein the web server is an embedded web server integrated into the mobile broadband device, and wherein the web server is embedded with a web management page. 
     
     
         16 . The computer program product of  claim 13 , wherein the API of the web server comprises a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) API. 
     
     
         17 . The computer program product of  claim 13 , wherein the API of the web server comprises a socket interface of the web server. 
     
     
         18 . The computer program product of  claim 13 , wherein the reminder function is to be used for implementing a mobile broadband device service corresponding to the service information, and wherein the mobile broadband device service is implemented directly without calling the reminder function. 
     
     
         19 . The computer program product of  claim 13 , wherein the API of the web server comprises a universal serial bus (USB) port API. 
     
     
         20 . The computer program product of  claim 13 , wherein the API of the web server comprises a BLUETOOTH API.
