Abstract
A method for updating communication parameters on a mobile device, the method including sending a communication from the mobile device to a server, the communication including a location of the mobile device; receiving at the mobile device, responsive to the communication, a new communication parameter; reconfiguring the mobile device with the new communication parameter; and sending a second communication from the mobile device to the server, the second communication using the new communication parameter.
Claims18
A method for updating communication parameters on a device, the method comprising:
- waking up the device at a periodic time;
- upon waking up, transmitting sensor data from sensors associated to the device to a server, the transmitting comprising sending a location of the device;
- receiving at the device, responsive to the transmitting, a new communication parameter;
- after receiving the new communication parameter, entering a sleep state at the device;
- virtually replacing a subscriber identity associated with the device with a new subscriber identity based on the new communication parameter;
- and
- sending a second communication from the device to the server, the second communication using the new communication parameter, wherein the second communication includes the location of the device and the new communication parameter is associated with the new subscriber identity determined based on the location of the device.
A device comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a communications subsystem,
- wherein the device is configured to:
- wake up the device at a periodic time;
- upon waking up, transmit sensor data from sensors associated to the device to a server, the transmitting comprising sending a location of the device;
- receive at the device, responsive to the transmitting, a new communication parameter;
- after receiving the new communication parameter, enter a sleep state;
- virtually replace a subscriber identity associated with the device with a new subscriber identity based on the new communication parameter;
- and
- send a second communication from the device to the server, the second communication using the new communication parameter, wherein the second communication includes the location of the device and the new communication parameter is associated with the new subscriber identity determined based on the location of the device.
A non-transitory computer readable medium for storing instruction code, which, when executed by a processor of a device, cause the device to:
- wake up the device at a periodic time;
- upon waking up, transmit sensor data from sensors associated to the device to a server, the transmitting comprising sending a location of the device;
- receive at the device, responsive to the transmitting, a new communication parameter;
- after receiving the new communication parameter, enter a sleep state;
- virtually replace a subscriber identity associated with the device with a new subscriber identity based on the new communication parameter;
- and
- send a second communication from the device to the server, the second communication using the new communication parameter, wherein the second communication includes the location of the device and the new communication parameter is associated with the new subscriber identity determined based on the location of the device.
