Abstract
A method for sharing a same profile on different integrated circuit cards includes performing a profile enable procedure for a first profile on a first mobile device; performing a mobile device authentication procedure between the first mobile device and the mobile network; and performing by the mobile network, a location update operation using identifier information including subscriber information.
Claims20
A mobile device comprising:
- a first processor and a first- non-transitory machine readable medium having stored thereon a first program having program code for performing the following steps:
- transmitting an enable request to an integrated circuit card,
- receiving an enable response from the integrated circuit card,
- transmitting an attach request to a mobile network, the attach request comprising a subscriber identifier;
- and
- the integrated circuit card comprising
- a second processor, and
- a second non-transitory machine readable medium having stored thereon a second program having program code for performing the following steps:
- receiving the enable request from the first processor, and
- enabling a first profile stored on the integrated circuit card in response to the enable request, and
- transmitting the enable response to the first processor.

A method of operating a mobile network, the method comprising:
- receiving an attach request from a first mobile device having a first profile stored thereon, the attach request comprising subscriber information;
- transmitting an authentication information request to a Home Subscriber Server (HSS) in response to receiving the attach request;
- receiving an authentication information response from the HSS, the authentication information response comprising authentication vectors relating to the subscriber information;
- transmitting an update location request to the HSS requesting to update a location associated with the first mobile device and the subscriber information;
- receiving an update location response from the HSS;
- and
- transmitting an attach reject message to a second mobile device having the first profile stored thereon.

An integrated circuit card comprising:
- a local processor, and
- a non-transitory machine readable medium having stored thereon a first program having program code for performing the following steps:
- receiving a first enable request from a first processor,
- enabling a first profile stored on the non-transitory machine readable medium in response to the first enable request,
- transmitting a first enable response to the first processor,
- receiving a first rejection event from the first processor, and
- disabling the first profile in response to receiving the first rejection event.
