Abstract
The invention relates to a communication system which comprises at least one user equipment having a plurality of identities associated therewith. The user equipment has means for storing at least one of the identities. Storage means are provided for storing at least one of the plurality of identities and means for receiving identity information from the user equipment, for obtaining from the storage means at least one identity associated with the received identity information and for sending to the user equipment the at least one obtained from the storage means.
Claims24
An apparatus comprising;
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one processor, the at least one memory, and the computer program code configured to cause the apparatus to at least:
- send, from a user equipment, identity information relating to the user equipment;
- and
- receive, at the user equipment, at least one of a public identity and a private identity, wherein the at least one of the public identity and the private identity are obtained, based on the identity information, from among a plurality of identities associated with the user equipment, and wherein the associated plurality of identities including the public identity and the private identity are stored at a home subscriber server.
A method, comprising:
- receiving from a user equipment, identity information relating to the user equipment;
- obtaining, based on the received identity information, at least one of a public identity and a private identity from among a plurality of identities associated with the user equipment, wherein the associated plurality of identities including the public identity and the private identity are stored at a home subscriber server;
- and
- sending the obtained at least one of the public identity and the private identity to the user equipment.
An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one processor, the at least one memory, and the computer program code configured to cause the apparatus to at least:
- receive identity information from user equipment;
- obtain, based on the received identity information, from a home subscriber server at least one of a public identity and a private identity from among a plurality of identities associated with the user equipment, wherein the associated plurality of identities including the public identity and the private identity are stored at the home subscriber server;
- and
- send to the user equipment the at least one of the public identity and the private identity obtained from the home subscriber server.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with instructions that, when executed by ay least one processor, performs at least the following:
- receive from user equipment, identity information relating to the user equipment;
- obtain, based on the received identity information, at least one of a public identity and a private identity from among a plurality of identities associated with the user equipment, wherein the associated plurality of identities including the public identity and the private identity are stored at the home subscriber server;
- and
- send the obtained at least one of the public identity and the private identity to the user equipment.
A method comprising:
- sending, from a user equipment, identity information relating to the user equipment;
- receiving, at the user equipment, at least one of a public identity and a private identity, wherein the at least one of the public identity and the private identity are obtained, based on the identity information, from among a plurality of identities associated with the user equipment, and wherein the associated plurality of identities including the public identity and the private identity are stored at a home subscriber server.
A non-transitory computer readable-medium encoded with instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, performs at least the following:
- send, from a user equipment, identity information relating to the user equipment;
- and
- receive, at the user equipment, at least one of a public identity and a private identity, wherein the at least one of the public identity and the private identity are obtained, based on the identity information, from among a plurality of identities associated with the user equipment, and wherein the associated plurality of identities including the public identity and the private identity are stored at a home subscriber server.
