Abstract
An on-boarding management entity may be implemented to manage interconnectivity among various enterprise entities and various subscription managers. A subscription manager identifier associated with each of the subscription managers may be used to map different enterprise entities to specific or range of subscription managers. In the event of additions or replacements of subscription managers, a business logic may be employed via a rules engine in order to internally map a subscription manager identifier of the desired subscription manager to the respective subscription manager. The business logic can also be employed to map and relay callbacks and notifications received from the subscription managers to respective enterprise entities.
Claims20
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that upon execution cause one or more processors to perform acts comprising:
- receiving, at an on-board manager residing in a secure data center of a mobile network operator (MNO), a request from one or more enterprise entities, the request comprising a secure routing identifier (SMSR-ID) corresponding to a unique subscription manager, and corresponding to a unique subscription manager secure routing (SM-SR), the request for an embedded universal integrated circuit card (eUICC) identifier (EID);
- retrieving, via the on-board manager, the SM-SR corresponding to the received SMSR-ID;
- retrieving from a data store, the data store storing a plurality of EIDs, the requested EID, the retrieved EID associated with the unique subscription manager corresponding to the SM-SR;
- responsive to the request, serving the retrieved EID to target the unique subscription manager of a plurality of subscription managers in accordance with a mapping scheme;
- if the unique subscription manager is removed:
- requesting the one or more enterprise entities to delete the SMSR-ID;
- and
- serving the retrieved EID to a predetermined subscription manager of the plurality of subscription managers in accordance with predetermined parameters.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that upon execution cause one or more processors to perform acts comprising:
- receiving, at an on-board manager residing in a secure data center of a mobile network operator (MNO), a request from one or more enterprise entities, the request comprising an embedded universal integrated circuit card identifier (EID) and an integrated circuit card identifier (ICCID) corresponding to a unique user equipment, and corresponding to a profile of the MNO that is managed by a unique subscription manager, the request for a secure routing identifier (SMSR-ID);
- retrieving from a data store, the data store storing a plurality of SMSR-IDs, the requested SMSR-ID based at least on the ICCID and a profile type of the profile, the retrieved SMSR-ID and the profile type associated with the unique subscription manager;
- and
- responsive to the request, serving the retrieved SMSR-ID to target the unique subscription manager of a plurality of subscription managers in accordance with a mapping scheme.
A system, comprising:
- one or more non-transitory storage mediums configured to provide stored code segments, the one or more non-transitory storage mediums coupled to one or more processors, each configured to execute the code segments and causing the one or more processors to:
- receive, at an on-board manager residing in a secure data center of a mobile network operator (MNO), a request from one or more enterprise entities, the request comprising a secure routing identifier (SMSR-ID) corresponding to a unique subscription manager, and corresponding to a unique subscription manager secure routing (SM-SR), the request for an embedded universal integrated circuit card (eUICC) identifier (EID);
- retrieve, via the on-board manager, the SM-SR corresponding to the received SMSR-ID;
- retrieve from a data store, the data store storing a plurality of EIDs, the requested EID, the retrieved EID associated with the unique subscription manager corresponding to the SM-SR;
- responsive to the request, serve the retrieved EID to target the unique subscription manager of a plurality of subscription managers in accordance with a mapping scheme;
- if the unique subscription manager is disabled:
- requesting the one or more enterprise entities to disable the unique subscription manager;
- and
- serving the retrieved EID to a predetermined subscription manager of the plurality of subscription managers in accordance with predetermined parameters.
