## Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and device for efficiently transmitting and receiving a profile for providing a communication service in a mobile communication system. A method for supporting remote reception of a profile in a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of: receiving a second message including a first message for downloading the profile from a server managing the profile; and transferring the second message including the first message to a plurality of UICCs on the basis of the second message, wherein the plurality of UICCs includes at least one eUICC.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method of supporting remote reception of a profile by a user equipment (UE) including a plurality of universal integrated circuit cards (UICCs), in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving, from a server for managing the profile, a second message including a first message, the first message for downloading the profile;
determining whether a header information of the second message satisfies a criterion, the header information including at least one of a protocol identifier, a data coding scheme, an originator address, or information indicating whether the first message is encrypted;
transferring, to a first UICC and a second UICC among the plurality of UICCs, the first message if the header information of the second message satisfies the criterion,
wherein the first UICC is a UICC physically attachable to and detachable from the UE, and the second UICC is an embedded UICC (eUICC),
wherein the first UICC discards the first message, and
wherein the second UICC decrypts the first message using an over-the-air (OTA) key; and
receiving the profile based on the decrypted first message.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the transferring the first message comprises:
transferring the second message including the first message to another UE connected to the UE through a predetermined communication scheme.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The method of claim 2, wherein the UE and the other UE are connected through bluetooth pairing.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the second message is a short message service (SMS) message, and wherein transferring the first message comprises:
transferring, to the first UICC and the second UICC, the first message when the header information of the SMS message includes a first value indicating a data download and a second value indicating a particular terminal category.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the first message uses an over-the-air (OTA) message.

### Claim 6

A terminal for supporting remote reception of a profile in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:
a plurality of universal integrated circuit cards (UICCs);
a transceiver; and
a processor configured to:
control the transceiver to receive, from a server for managing the profile, a second message including a first message, the first message for downloading the profile,
determine whether a header information of the second message satisfies a criterion, the header information including at least one of a protocol identifier, a data coding scheme, an originator address, or information indicating whether the first message is encrypted,
transfer, to a first UICC and a second UICC among the plurality of UICCs, the first message if the header information of the second message satisfies the criterion, wherein the first UICC is a UICC physically attachable to and detachable from the UE, and the second UICC is an embedded UICC (eUICC), wherein the first UICC discards the first message, and wherein the second UICC decrypts the first message using an over-the-air (OTA) key, and
receive the profile based on the decrypted first message.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The terminal of claim 6, wherein the processor is further configured to:
control the transceiver to transfer the second message including the first message to another terminal connected to the terminal through a predetermined communication scheme.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The terminal of claim 7, wherein the terminal and the other terminal are connected through bluetooth pairing.

### Claim 9 (depends on 6)

The terminal of claim 6, wherein the second message is a short message service (SMS) message, and wherein the processor is further configured to:
determine whether header information of the SMS message includes a first value indicating a data download and a second value indicating a particular terminal category, and
transfer, to the first UICC and the second UICC among the plurality of UICCs, the first message when the header information includes the first value and the second value.

### Claim 10 (depends on 6)

The terminal of claim 6, wherein the first message uses an over-the-air (OTA) message.
