US 2017/0324804 A1 · UICC SMS ROUTING TO DEVICE APPLICATION

Abstract

Information regarding the status of an update to a universal integrated circuit card (UICC) being performed across a mobile wireless communication network is provided to a server involved in the update process and/or to a user of the mobile communication device having the UICC. The UICC update server sends an update trigger to the mobile communication device, and the UICC initiates establishment of a communication link to receive the update. The UICC further causes a baseband processor of the mobile communication device to send a proof-of-receipt of the update trigger by short message service (SMS) messaging back to the update server. Additionally or alternatively, the UICC causes the baseband processor to send a wakeup message to a mobile device application executing on the mobile device. The wakeup message includes status information relating to the UICC update which can be provided to a user of the mobile device.

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

receiving, in a mobile communication device across a mobile wireless communication network, a message for triggering an update of data stored in a universal integrated circuit card (“UICC);
forwarding to a UICC of the mobile communication device the message for triggering the update;
receiving from the UICC a response message relating to the triggering of the update of data stored in the UICC, the response message identifying one application installed on the mobile communication device:
and
responsive to the receiving of the response message, triggering the wakeup of the one application identified in the response message.

2 more elements

A mobile communication device comprising:

a mobile wireless transceiver configured to communicate across a mobile wireless communication network;
a universal integrated circuit card (UICC) communicatively connected to the mobile wireless transceiver and configured to authenticate the mobile communication device for communication across the mobile wireless communication network;
a user input/output interface including a display for user output;
and
a processor communicatively connected to the mobile wireless transceiver, the UICC, and the user input/output interface, and configured to execute one or more application programs enabling users to send and receive communications across the mobile wireless communication network,
wherein the mobile wireless transceiver is configured to perform functions including functions to:
receive from the mobile wireless communication network a message for triggering an update of data stored in the UICC;
forward to the UICC of the mobile communication device the message for triggering the update;
receive from the UICC a response message relating to the triggering of the update of data stored in the UICC, the response message identifying one application installed on the mobile communication device;
and
responsive to receiving the response message, trigger the wakeup of the one application identified in the response message for execution on the processor of the mobile communication device.
