Abstract
The disclosure relates to a chip-enhanced battery for a machine type communication (MTC) device, the chip-enhanced battery comprising: a battery; and a microchip integrated with the battery, wherein the microchip comprises a subscriber identification module (SIM) with stored instructions to establish communication with a mobile network operator (MNO) upon an insertion of the chip-enhanced battery into the MTC device.
Claims26
1-25. (canceled)
A chip-enhanced battery for a machine type communication (MTC) device, the chip-enhanced battery comprising:
- a battery;
- and
- a microchip integrated with the battery,
- wherein the microchip comprises a subscriber identification module (SIM) with stored instructions to establish communication with a mobile network operator (MNO) upon an insertion of the chip-enhanced battery into the MTC device.
The chip-enhanced battery of claim 27, further comprising:
- a storage element configured to store the unique identification code.
The chip-enhanced battery of claim 27,
- wherein the unique identification code is disposed on an outer surface of the chip-enhanced battery.
A method for using a chip-enhanced battery comprising a battery and a microchip integrated with the battery for communication with a mobile network operator (MNO), wherein the microchip comprises a subscriber identification module (SIM), the method comprising:
- inserting the chip-enhanced battery into a machine type communication (MTC) device;
- and
- initiating a communication channel with the mobile network operator (MNO) responsive to the insertion of the chip-enhanced battery into the MTC device based on a subscriber identification process initiated by the SIM module of the microchip.
A machine type communication (MTC) device, the MTC device comprising:
- a modem configured to initiate a communication channel with a mobile network operator (MNO);
- a chip-enhanced battery comprising a battery and a microchip integrated with the battery;
- and
- a subscriber identification module (SIM) comprised in the microchip, wherein the SIM module is configured to initiate communication with the MNO via the modem responsive to an insertion of the chip-enhanced battery into the MTC device.
