Global platform for managing subscriber identity modules

A method for wireless communication provisioning of a wireless communication device operating in a carrier network including at least one carrier tower comprising:

• detect that a transition condition has occurred in a lifecycle of the wireless communication device, wherein the transition condition indicates that an authorized user of the wireless communication device has changed or a usage condition of the authorized user has expired;
• determining a current provisioning state associated with the one or more identifiers;
• determining a next provisioning state associated with the one or more identifiers;
• determining a state transition rule associated with the one or more identifiers wherein the state transition rule defines a transition between the current provisioning state and the next provisioning state;
• determining a provisioning instruction according to an occurrence of a transition condition and an application of the state transition rule;
• and
• transmitting the provisioning instruction to at least one of an Authentication Center (AuC), a Home Location Register (HLR), a Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN), a Billing system, or an Authentication Authorization Accounting (AAA) system according to the state transition rule.

A computer program product for wireless communication provisioning of a wireless communication device operating in a carrier network including at least one carrier tower, the computer program product being embodied in a non-transitory computer readable medium and comprising computer instructions to:

• detect that a transition condition has occurred in a lifecycle of the wireless communication device, wherein the transition condition indicates that an authorized user of the wireless communication device has changed or a usage condition of the authorized user has expired;
• determine a current provisioning state associated with the one or more identifiers;
• determine a next provisioning state associated with the one or more identifiers;
• determine a state transition rule associated with the one or more identifiers wherein the state transition rule defines a transition between the current provisioning state and the next provisioning state;
• determine a provisioning instruction according to an occurrence of a transition condition and an application of the state transition rule;
• and
• transmit the provisioning instruction to at least one of an Authentication Center (AuC), a Home Location Register (HLR), a Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN), a Billing system, or an Authentication Authorization Accounting (AAA) system according to the state transition rule.
