==ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR INSTALLING eSIM PROFILE IN ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17751146 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR INSTALLING eSIM PROFILE IN ELECTRONIC DEVICE

==Simplified Explanation==

An electronic device with an embedded-subscriber identification module (eSIM) and a processor is described in this patent application. The device can store multiple profiles and authenticate them with a server. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

* The electronic device has a communication module, an eSIM, and a processor.
* The eSIM stores at least one profile, which can be authenticated with a server.
* When the device successfully authenticates a profile with the server, it receives an authentication token.
* The device can establish communication with another electronic device and inform it that the authenticated profile is transmittable data.
* If the other device requests the transmission of the authenticated profile, the device can transmit the authentication token to download a corresponding profile from the server.

== Potential Applications ==
This technology has several potential applications, including:

* Mobile devices: The eSIM can be used in smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices to securely store multiple profiles and authenticate them with a server.
* Internet of Things (IoT): IoT devices can use eSIMs to securely connect to networks and authenticate their profiles, enabling seamless communication and data transfer.
* Wearable devices: Smartwatches, fitness trackers, and other wearable devices can benefit from eSIMs to store and authenticate profiles, providing convenient connectivity options.

== Problems Solved ==
This technology solves several problems, such as:

* Simplified profile management: With the ability to store multiple profiles in the eSIM, users can easily switch between different network providers or services without physically changing SIM cards.
* Enhanced security: The authentication process ensures that only authorized profiles are used, reducing the risk of unauthorized access or data breaches.
* Seamless connectivity: By transmitting authentication tokens, the device can quickly download and activate corresponding profiles, enabling seamless communication with other devices or networks.

== Benefits ==
The benefits of this technology include:

* Flexibility: Users can easily switch between different profiles or network providers without the need for physical SIM card changes.
* Convenience: The ability to transmit authentication tokens allows for quick and hassle-free profile activation on other devices.
* Security: The authentication process ensures that only authorized profiles are used, enhancing the security of communication and data transfer.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

An electronic device includes a communication module, an embedded-subscriber identification module (eSIM) in which at least one profile is stored, and a processor. The processor is configured to, when accessing a server and succeeding in authentication for a first profile among at least one profile stored in the eSIM, receive an authentication token indicating successful authentication for the first profile from the server, when establishing communication with a first electronic device through the communication module, inform the first electronic device that the first profile is transmittable data, and when transmission of the first profile is requested from the first electronic device, transmit, to the first electronic device, the authentication token for downloading a second profile corresponding to the first profile from the server.
