Abstract
An embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card (“eUICC”) controller may transfer wireless network service between different User Equipment (“UE”) by moving or exchanging one or more profiles between the eUICC of different UEs. The eUICC controller may directly access the eUICC of the UEs in order to control eUICC profile synchronization, disabling, downloading, and/or perform other eUICC management.
Claims20
A device comprising:
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of processor-executable instructions;
- and
- one or more processors configured to execute the set of processor-executable instructions, wherein executing the set of processor-executable instructions causes the one or more processors to:
- obtain a first Subscriber Identity Module (“SIM”) profile comprising a plurality of parameters;
- access a first embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card (“eUICC”) of a first User Equipment (“UE”) via a wireless network connection to the first UE, the first eUICC comprising a second SIM profile;
- determine, via the access to the first eUICC, one or more customizations made to a set of parameters of the second SIM profile based on the device using the second SIM profile to access a wireless telecommunications network;
- generate a synchronized first SIM profile by modifying one or more of the plurality of parameters of the first SIM profile according to the one or more customizations made to the set of parameters of the second SIM profile;
- and
- provide the synchronized first SIM profile to a second eUICC of a second UE, wherein providing the synchronized first SIM profile to the second eUICC allows the second UE to access the wireless telecommunications network using an account associated with the first SIM profile.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium, storing a set of processor-executable instructions, which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- obtain a first Subscriber Identity Module (“SIM”) profile comprising a plurality of parameters;
- access a first embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card (“eUICC”) of a first User Equipment (“UE”) via a wireless network connection to the first UE, the first eUICC comprising a second SIM profile;
- determine, via the access to the first eUICC, one or more customizations made to a set of parameters of the second SIM profile based on the device using the second SIM profile to access a wireless telecommunications network;
- generate a synchronized first SIM profile by modifying one or more of the plurality of parameters of the first SIM profile according to the one or more customizations made to the set of parameters of the second SIM profile;
- and
- provide the synchronized first SIM profile to a second eUICC of a second UE, wherein providing the synchronized first SIM profile to the second eUICC allows the second UE to access the wireless telecommunications network using an account associated with the first SIM profile.
