A personal emulating device for emulating global phone communication as domestic mobile communication comprises a Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM) authentication unit, an information confirmation unit, an authentication processing unit, and a linking unit. The USIM authentication unit includes: a USIM interface unit which interfaces with a USIM of a designated standard; an antenna unit which transmits and receives radio frequency signals of a designated mobile communication standard to and from a base station in a mobile communication network corresponding to the USIM interfaced to the USIM interface unit; and a radio unit which performs a signal processing operation for transmitting and receiving the radio frequency signals of the designated mobile communication standard to and from the base station in the mobile communication network corresponding to the USIM interfaced to the USIM interface unit.

A tamper resistant device can be used for an integrated circuit card. The device includes memory storing a first security domain that includes a telecommunication profile and a second security domain that includes an application profile. A first physical interface is configured to be coupled to a baseband processor configured to operate with a mobile telecommunications network. A second physical interface configured to be coupled to an application processor. The first physical interface configured to allow the baseband processor to access the telecommunication profile and the second physical interface is configured to allow the application processor to access the application profile. The tamper resistant device is configured to enable accessibility to the application profile if corresponding commands are received at the first interface and to enable accessibility to the telecommunication profile if corresponding commands are received at the second interface.

A system and method for determining the presence of an individual at a particular spot within a location preferably based on the strength of signals received from beacons assigned to the particular spot by a software application (“App”) running on an electronic device of the individual. In one embodiment, certain presence calculations are performed by the App. In another embodiment, the App forwards information regarding the received beacon signals to an electronic identification and location tracking system and the presence calculations are performed by the system.

A system includes a dry contact with a first pair of switchable electrodes, a wet contact with a second pair of switchable electrodes, an arc suppressor, and a controller circuit operatively coupled to the arc suppressor and the first and second pairs of switchable electrodes. The controller circuit is configured to detect a failure of the wet contact and determine a stick duration associated with the first pair of switchable electrodes. The stick duration is based on a duration between an instance when a coil of the dry contact is deactivated and an instance of separation of the first pair of switchable electrodes during deactivation of the coil. The controller circuit generates, in-situ and in real-time, health assessment for the first pair of switchable electrodes based on a comparison of the determined stick duration with an average stick duration associated with a window of observation.

A method for obtaining a command relating to a network access profile of an eUICC security module incorporated into a communication device and associated with a physical identifier. The communication terminal: obtains the physical identifier and an anonymous identifier of the security module is calculated from the physical identifier and a random parameter; transmits a request to obtain the command, via an “operator server”, to a “preparation server”, the request to obtain including the anonymous identifier of the security module; obtains the random parameter and calculates the anonymous identifier from the physical identifier of the security module and the random parameter; and sends, to a “discovery server”, a request to obtain information intended to obtain the command, this request to obtain information including the anonymous identifier, in order to obtain, in response, from the discovery server, an address of the preparation server.

Method, apparatus, computer program for a user equipment having at least two connections to at least two network nodes, where each connection corresponds to a different user identity, selecting by the user equipment one of the at least two network nodes to communicate exclusively with during one or more time intervals; and sending by the user equipment one or more messages toward the other ones of the at least two network nodes, the one or more messages indicating to the other ones of the at least two network nodes that the user equipment is unavailable for communication during the one or more time intervals.

Systems and methods for managing concurrent secure elements on a mobile device to coordinate with an application or “app” running on the mobile device and an appropriate communications protocol for conducting transactions using the mobile device include: informing, by the processor, the reader device of a preferred app and a communication protocol usable by the preferred app; receiving, by the processor, information about which apps and communication protocols are supported by a reader for processing a transaction; locating, by the processor, a secure element supporting an app and a communication protocol supported by the reader; channeling the communication protocol for the specific configuration of the app and the supporting secure element; activating the secure element that supports the app; and processing, with the activated secure element, using the supported app and communication channel, the transaction with the reader.
