REMOTE SIM PROVISIONING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18355602 titled 'REMOTE SIM PROVISIONING
Simplified Explanation
This patent application is about methods for remotely provisioning SIM profiles for IoT devices using a Lightweight Machine-to-Machine (LwM2M) server and client devices.
- The LwM2M server receives a notification of a SIM profile update for an IoT device from a mobile network operator server.
- The server generates a remote SIM provisioning object for the IoT device, indicating that the SIM profile update is available.
- The remote SIM provisioning object is then sent to the IoT device.
- The IoT device receives the remote SIM provisioning object from the LwM2M server, indicating that a SIM profile update is available.
- In response, the IoT device downloads the SIM profile update.
This innovation allows for remote provisioning of SIM profiles for IoT devices, making it easier to update and manage the connectivity of these devices.
Original Abstract Submitted
Various aspects include methods for supporting remote Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) profile provisioning that may be performed by a Lightweight Machine-to-Machine (LwM2M) server and LwM2M client computing devices, such as Internet of Things (IoT) devices. A LwM2M server may receive an indication of a SIM profile update for a LwM2M client computing device from a mobile network operator server, generating a remote SIM provisioning object for the LwM2M client computing device indicating that the SIM profile update for the LwM2M client computing device is available, and sending the remote SIM provisioning object to the LwM2M client computing device. A LwM2M computing device may receive a remote Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) provisioning object from a LwM2M server indicating that a SIM profile update for the LwM2M computing device is available, and download the SIM profile update in response to receiving the remote SIM provisioning object.
