Abstract
In response to activation of a SIM in a terminal device, the SIM requests device information from the terminal device. The device provides the device information to the SIM and the SIM formulates a communication comprising the device information and subscriber information and causes the communication to be transmitted to a network.
Claims12
A network comprising:
- a base station subsystem;
- subscriber information;
- and
- one or more network elements to locate subscriber data in response to a SIM-generated communication from a terminal device that includes device capabilities to receive and render services, identify subscriber services compatible with the device capabilities, determine terminal device settings compatible with the identified services, and communicate the device settings to the terminal device;
- wherein the SIM-generated communication is generated in response to activation of a SIM in the terminal device, the SIM requesting device information from the terminal device and the device providing the device information to the SIM.
2 more elements
A method comprising:
- in response to activation of a SIM in a terminal device, the SIM requesting device information from the terminal device;
- the device providing the device information to the SIM;
- and
- the SIM formulating a communication comprising the device information and causing the SIM-generated communication to be transmitted to a network through the device.
1 more element
A method comprising:
- activating a SIM in a communication device;
- as a result of activation, the SIM requesting device and-or information from the communication device;
- the SIM forming at least one message including at least part of the device and-or location information;
- the communication device communicating the message formed by the SIM to a communication network;
- the network identifying services compatible with device and-or location information of the message;
- the network identifying device settings compatible with the identified services and-or device information and-or location information of the message;
- the network communicating the device settings to the communication device;
- and
- the communication device putting into effect the device settings communicated from the network.
