UNIVERSAL INTEGRATED CIRCUIT CARD (UICC) SERVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17798292 titled 'UNIVERSAL INTEGRATED CIRCUIT CARD (UICC) SERVICE
Simplified Explanation
Abstract Explanation
The abstract describes a method for maintaining network service for a mobile device that supports hot swapping of integrated circuit cards. When a polling error occurs due to a universal integrated circuit card (UICC), the method reads the current integrated circuit card identification (ICCID) value. It then compares this value to a cached ICCID value captured during UICC initialization. If the current ICCID value matches the cached ICCID value, the method maintains the current state of the UICC.
- The method is used to maintain network service for a mobile device that supports hot swapping of integrated circuit cards.
- It reads the current ICCID value when a polling error occurs due to a UICC.
- It compares the current ICCID value to a cached ICCID value captured during UICC initialization.
- If the current ICCID value matches the cached ICCID value, the method maintains the current state of the UICC.
Potential Applications
- Mobile devices that support hot swapping of integrated circuit cards.
- Network service maintenance for mobile devices.
- Universal integrated circuit card (UICC) initialization.
Problems Solved
- Ensures network service is maintained for mobile devices even when a polling error occurs due to a UICC.
- Allows for hot swapping of integrated circuit cards without interrupting network service.
- Helps in maintaining the current state of the UICC during network service maintenance.
Benefits
- Seamless network service maintenance for mobile devices.
- Improved user experience with uninterrupted network connectivity.
- Efficient management of integrated circuit cards in mobile devices.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method to maintain network service for a mobile equipment includes reading a current integrated circuit card identification (ICCID) value when the mobile equipment supports a hot swap function and a remove interrupt is not triggered by hardware in response to a polling error triggered by a universal integrated circuit card (UICC). The method also includes comparing the current ICCID value to a cached ICCID value captured during a UICC initialization. The method further includes maintaining a current state of the UICC when the current ICCID value matches the cached ICCID value.
