Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for managing a profile in an embedded UICC, and more particularly, to a method for managing a profile in an embedded UICC that enables management information on the profile provided within the embedded UICC to play an essential role for providing communication and additional services, to be provided to a device existing outside the embedded UICC. The present invention also relates to an embedded UICC and to a device provided with the embedded UICC for the method.
Claims15
A method of managing profiles in an embedded universal integrated circuit cart (eUICC) interworking with a mobile network operator (MNO) and a subscription manager (SM), comprising a step of providing, by the eUICC, at least one of information about types of activated profiles and information about a list of the activated profiles to an external entity.
An embedded universal integrated circuit card (eUICC) interworking with a mobile network operator (MNO) and a subscription manager (SM), comprising a management information providing module providing at least one of information about types of activated profiles and information about a list of the activated profiles to an external entity.
A device managing an embedded universal integrated circuit card (eUICC), which is equipped with the eUICC interworking with a mobile network operator (MNO) and a subscription manager (SM), comprising a management information acquisition part acquiring at least one of information about types of activated profiles and information about a list of the activated profiles from the eUICC.
A method of managing profiles in an embedded universal integrated circuit card (eUICC) interworking with a mobile network operator (MNO) and a subscription manager (SM), the method comprising:
- performing, by the MNO, a network authentication with a device equipped with the eUICC based on a profile selected in a list of profiles provided from the eUICC;
- and
- updating, by the MNO, a management profile managing the list of profiles in the eUICC based on an activated profile.
