Method for performing a remote management of a multi-subscription sim module

A method for enabling a profile in a multi-subscription SIM module comprising a memory that stores a first profile and a second profile respectively associated with a first mobile network operator and a second mobile network operator, the method comprising:

• dividing the memory in a partition for an operating system, partitions for enabled profiles, and a partition for a downloaded profile, the partition for enabled profiles and the partition for a downloaded profile having equivalent sizes;
• selecting an enabled profile comprising an application to be executed;
• allocating a first one of the partitions for the enabled profile to the enabled profile, while maintaining the partition for a downloaded profile non-accessible;
• connecting, to a base station, using the enabled profile allocated to the first one of the partitions for the enabled profile;
• downloading, from a remote host, a downloaded profile;
• accessing, when downloading the downloaded profile, the partition for a downloaded profile, while maintaining the partition for enabled profiles non-accessible;
• allocating the partition for a downloaded profile to the downloaded profile;
• and
• enabling the downloaded profile by swapping the downloaded profile from the partition for a downloaded profile to a second one of the partitions for enabled profiles.

A multi-subscription SIM module, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory comprising a first memory partition for an operating system, a second memory partition for an enabled profile, and a third memory partition for a downloaded profile, the third memory partition and the second memory partition having equivalent sizes, the processor being configured to implement a method comprising:
• connecting, to a base station, using the enabled profile allocated to the second memory partition, the enabled profile being associated with a first mobile network operator;
• downloading, from a remote host, a downloaded profile, the downloaded profile being associated with a second mobile network operator;
• accessing, when downloading the downloaded profile, the third memory partition, while maintaining the second memory partition as being non-accessible;
• allocating the third memory partition to the downloaded profile;
• and
• enabling the downloaded profile by swapping the downloaded profile from the third memory partition to the second memory partition.
