ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR TRANSFERRING SUBSCRIPTION BY USING EMBEDDED SIM IN THE ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17856405 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR TRANSFERRING SUBSCRIPTION BY USING EMBEDDED SIM IN THE ELECTRONIC DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an electronic device that includes an embedded universal integrated circuit card (eUICC) and a processor. The device can connect with an external electronic device, receive a request to transfer subscription information, and identify transferable subscription information stored in the eUICC. It can then transmit the identified subscription information to the external device, receive the selected subscription information from the external device, and request authentication from a server. Finally, it can transmit the information for subscription transfer, including the authentication result, to the external device.

  • The electronic device has an embedded universal integrated circuit card (eUICC) that stores subscriber identity information.
  • The device can connect with an external electronic device and receive a request to transfer subscription information.
  • It can identify transferable subscription information from the stored profile information in the eUICC.
  • The identified subscription information can be transmitted to the external device.
  • The device can receive the selected subscription information from the external device and request authentication from a server.
  • It can receive the authentication result from the server and transmit the information for subscription transfer, including the authentication result, to the external device.

Potential Applications

  • Mobile devices and smartphones that support seamless transfer of subscription information.
  • IoT devices that can easily switch between different network providers.
  • Devices used in international travel that can switch to local network providers without changing physical SIM cards.

Problems Solved

  • Simplifies the process of transferring subscription information between devices.
  • Eliminates the need for physical SIM card swapping.
  • Enables devices to quickly switch between different network providers without manual intervention.

Benefits

  • Seamless transfer of subscription information between devices.
  • Improved convenience for users, as they can easily switch devices without losing their subscription information.
  • Enhanced flexibility for devices to switch between different network providers based on availability or cost.


Original Abstract Submitted

According to various embodiments, an electronic device may comprise at least one embedded universal integrated circuit card (eUICC) each storing at least one subscriber identity information and at least one processor electrically connected to the eUICC. The at least one processor may control to connect with an external electronic device through communication, receive a subscription information request for subscription transfer from the external electronic device, identify at least one transferable subscription information from profile information stored in the eUICC, in response to the reception of the subscription information request, transmit the identified at least one transferable subscription information to the external electronic device, receive to-be-transferred subscription information selected from among the at least one transferable subscription information from the external electronic device, request a server to authenticate the to-be-transferred subscription selected by the external electronic device, receive information corresponding to a result of the authentication from the server, in response to the request for the authentication, and transmit information for subscription transfer including the information corresponding to the authentication result to the external electronic device.
