Abstract

A method for transferring at least one service in a device and device thereof are provided. The method includes detecting invoking of an application on the electronic device, in response to the detection, providing access of a radio frequency (RF) transceiver of the device to a first subscriber identity module (SIM), the first SIM being in an active data session, and enabling transfer of at least one service associated with at least one second SIM to the first SIM.

Claims16

Dependent claims

A method for transferring at least one service in a device, the method comprising:

detecting invocation of an application on the device;
when the invocation of the application is detected, providing access of a radio frequency (RF) transceiver of the device to a first subscriber identity module (SIM) that is in an active data session;
while the first SIM is in the active data session and at least one second SIM is in an inactive data session, providing a user interface including a user task for requesting to enable transfer of at least one service associated with the at least one second SIM to the first SIM;
in response to receiving a user input corresponding to the user task for requesting to enable the transfer of the at least one service on the user interface, transferring the at least one service from the at least one second SIM to the first SIM;
and
continuing the at least one service using the RF transceiver and the first SIM.

A device for transferring at least one service, the device comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) transceiver;
and
a processor configured to:
detect invocation of an application on the device,
when the invocation of the application is detected, provide access of the RF transceiver to a first subscriber identity module (SIM) that is in an active data session,
while the first SIM is in the active data session and at least one second SIM is in an inactive data session, provide a user interface including a user task for requesting to enable transfer of at least one service associated with the at least one second SIM to the first SIM,
in response to receiving a user input corresponding to the user task for requesting to enable the transfer of the at least one service on the user interface, transfer the at least one service from the at least one second SIM to the first SIM, and
continue the at least one service using the RF transceiver and the first SIM.
