GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION-BASED SIM SWITCHING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240031913 titled 'GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION-BASED SIM SWITCHING

Simplified Explanation

The disclosed patent application is about a method for switching SIM cards in a mobile telecommunications device based on the device's geographic location. The method involves identifying the device's location and using the appropriate SIM card to connect to the corresponding network.

  • The method involves operating a mobile telecommunications device with two SIM cards.
  • The device identifies its geographic location.
  • If the device is within a first geographic location, it uses the first SIM card to connect to a first network.
  • If the device is within a second geographic location and the signal strength of the second network is above a predefined threshold, it uses the second SIM card to connect to the second network.

Potential Applications:

  • This technology can be useful for travelers who frequently move between different geographic locations and need to switch between different SIM cards and networks.
  • It can be beneficial for individuals who have multiple SIM cards for different purposes, such as personal and business use, and want their device to automatically switch between them based on their location.

Problems Solved:

  • Simplifies the process of switching between SIM cards and networks based on geographic location, eliminating the need for manual intervention.
  • Ensures that the device connects to the most suitable network based on its location and signal strength, optimizing network performance.

Benefits:

  • Improved user experience by automating the SIM card switching process.
  • Enhanced network connectivity by selecting the most appropriate network based on location and signal strength.
  • Increased convenience for users who have multiple SIM cards for different purposes.


Original Abstract Submitted

the disclosure relates to switching sims in a mobile telecommunications device based on geographic location. example embodiments disclosed include a method of operating a mobile telecommunications device having a first sim and a second sim, the method comprising: identifying a geographic location of the device; operating the device using the first sim to connect to a first network if the device is within a first geographic location; and operating the device using the second sim to connect to a second network if the device is within a second geographic location and if a received signal strength indicator, rssi, of the second network is greater than a predefined threshold value.
