Abstract
A method for resource management in a vehicle-based mobile communications unit. In the method, during a mobile communication transaction conducted via two simultaneously established mobile communication channels, the user-nonspecific data components of the currently active identity profile are compared with one another to determine the mobile communication services provider currently being used. In case of a mobile communication services provider identity determined within the context of the comparison, one of the mobile communication channels is switched off and the mobile communications are conducted via the other mobile communication channel.
Claims9
A method for resource management in a vehicle-based mobile communications unit, the method comprising:
- storing in a memory a plurality of activatable identity profiles each comprising a user-specific and a user-non-specific data component;
- establishing, using a modem device with a respective identity profile, at least two simultaneous mobile communications channels to mobile communications networks belonging to mobile communications service providers which provide mobile communications services, the method being carried out in an automated manner by a control unit of the mobile communications unit, wherein
- while carrying out mobile communication via two simultaneously established mobile communications channels,
- the user-non-specific data components of the currently active identity profiles are compared with one another in order to determine currently used mobile communications service providers, and
- in the case of mobile communications service provider identity determined during the comparison, one of the mobile communications channels is switched off and mobile communication is carried out via the other mobile communications channel.
