## Abstract

A method of managing information from a telecommunication equipment unit comprising a screen and equipped with a SIM memory card connector comprising recording the information in a memory register of a standard SIM card, and exchanging information between the telecommunication equipment unit and the SIM card according to a standardized protocol, without subscriber authentication and connection to a telecommunication network, and wherein a SIM Toolkit application developed in the SIM card is executed, thereby enabling management of the information.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method for information management from a primary telecommunication equipment unit, the primary telecommunication equipment unit comprising a screen and equipped with a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) memory card connector, wherein a SIM Toolkit application developed in a SIM memory card is executed, thereby enabling management of information, the method for information management comprising:
an acquisition phase of information for a database and the SIM memory card, comprising the steps of:
(a) filling out a record by a user with personal information;
(b) sending the record to an operator connected to a server linked to the database;
(c) verifying of the record by the operator;
(d) integrating the record in the database;
(e) writing the record on the SIM memory card in a format useable by a standard telephone, via a link between the database and the SIM memory card, in memory registers of the SIM memory card intended for storing data required for establishing a session with a telecommunication operator;
and a restoration phase of information, comprising the steps of:
(a) inserting the SIM memory card in the connector of the telecommunication equipment,
(b) exchanging information between the telecommunication equipment unit and the SIM memory card according to a standardized protocol, and
(c) inhibiting the means of subscriber authentication and connection to a telecommunication network, the inhibiting step comprising detecting, by the telecommunication equipment unit, a numeric derivation sequence whose value is not assigned to a telecommunication operator or to a country, the numeric derivation sequence being recorded in a memory register of the SIM memory card where an International Mobile Subscriber Identifier (IMSI) number would normally be recorded to bypass a restriction of use of the telecommunication equipment unit to the telecommunication operator that supplied the telecommunication equipment unit, said inhibiting step causing the telecommunication equipment unit to operate as a local peripheral device outside of the network, by bypassing authentication and connection phases to the network, for displaying of the information written in the SIM memory card, the displaying comprising:
(i) loading in a random access memory of the telecommunication equipment unit of information desired to be managed; and
(ii) displaying said information on the screen of the telecommunication equipment unit via standardized applications of the telecommunication equipment unit.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, wherein the derivation sequence comprises the values “001” for a Mobile Country Code and “01” for a Mobile Network Code.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, wherein the SIM memory card further comprising an elementary file (EFAD) at the value “800,000.”

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method for information management according to claim 1, comprising a reading step on the SIM memory card, said reading step comprising:
connecting said SIM memory card with a telecommunication equipment unit capable of reading and displaying information contained in said SIM memory card; and
displaying said information on the screen of said telecommunication equipment unit;
the telecommunication equipment unit comprising a SIM memory card reader and the connecting step including insertion of said smart card into said reader.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, further comprising recording in a memory register of the SIM memory card numeric sequences executable by application software programs of the telecommunication equipment unit.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, further comprising recording in a memory register of the SIM memory card alphanumeric sequences that can be displayed by one or more software programs of the telecommunication equipment unit.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, further comprising recording in a memory register of the SIM memory card a game executable by the software programs of the telecommunication equipment.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, wherein the telecommunication equipment unit is a mobile phone.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, wherein writing comprises an additional step positioned after filling out the record comprising completing the record by a third party certifier for information requiring the expertise of a third party.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, wherein filling out the record is handwritten and a certification comprises applying a specific stamp on a handwritten document.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, wherein filling out the record is electronic and a certification adding an electronic signature to an electronic document.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, wherein the writing comprises a supplementary step of encrypting at least some data contained in a chip.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The method according to claim 12, wherein at least some data contained in the chip are protected by an access code.

### Claim 14 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, wherein at least some data contained in the database are encrypted.

### Claim 15 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, wherein at least some data contained in the database are protected by at least one access code.

### Claim 16 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, wherein writing comprises a supplementary step of loading libraries on the smart card enabling use of the telephone functions selected from a group consisting of placing a call, management of languages, and management of the operators.

### Claim 17 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, wherein the SIM memory card lacks a means of enabling access to a telecommunication network by a telecommunication equipment unit in which the SIM memory card is inserted.
