Which values needs to be put into manufacturer and model? #106
-
|
As per the title, I would like to know what are the actual values to put into those attributes in API response. But following GSMA nomenclature, "Nokia" could be the brand name or device vendor, while the manufacturer seems totally another value. For example for the Nokia G21: Marketing Name: Nokia G21 Hence, what values do I need to use for model and manufacturer? |

The idea was to return the "friendly" (i.e. marketing) names that would be known to the customer. A customer is more likely to say "I have a Nokia G21" than "I have an HMD Global Oy TA-1404". So, if mapping from the GSMA database, If there is a use case where using the marketing names would not work, then bring it to the sub-project and we can discuss it. |

Thank you for the clarification. There is no problem in using any value it has been chosen. It's simply a matter of clarifying what standards this group is establishing for populating those attributes. |

So, if mapping from the GSMA database,
manufacturerequals "Brand Name", andmodelequals "Standardised Marketing Name". Or, as it is optional to return these fields, you could just not include them at all, and leave the API consumer to do the look-up if required.If there is a use case where using the marketing names would not work, then bring it to the sub-project and we can discuss it.
