ESIM subscription management system
10659954 · 2020-05-19 · ·

A system for use with a mobile cellular device comprising an Internet browser and an embedded subscriber identity module (eSIM) card. The eSIM card stores an application and a first profile. The system includes a web server configured to generate a web portal comprising a plurality of service plans. The first profile establishes communication over a first network with the web server, which transmits the web portal to the Internet browser over the first network. The web portal receives a selection of one of the service plans from the Internet browser. The web server sends the selection to a subscription manager configured to select an operational profile based on the selection and cause the operational profile to be transmitted to the application. The mobile cellular device is configured to communicate over a second network using the operational profile after the operational profile has been received and activated by the application.

APPARATUS FOR CONFIGURING A USER DEVICE FOR COMMUNICATION WITH A COMMUNICATION SERVER AND METHOD THEREOF
20200106887 · 2020-04-02 ·

An apparatus enables communication between a user device and a communication server. The apparatus receives a device identifier of the user device and determines after searching a device-to-token database that the device identifier is not associated with any device communication token. The apparatus activates a predetermined application on the user device, and thereafter receives a device communication token of the predetermined application. A mapping of the device communication token with the device identifier is stored in the device-to-token database after which a communication account is created for the user device on a communication server. A login credential for the communication account is sent to the user device in a message addressed to the predetermined application and transmitted via a message server. The predetermined application on the user device receives the message, and thereafter automatically logs in to the communication server according to the login credential in the message.

Secure provisioning and management of devices

Systems and methods for secure provisioning and management of computerized devices. The system may include a distributor appliance that is communicatively connected to the computerized device, and that is operable to receive a digital asset and to load the digital asset into the computerized device. It may include an optional digital asset management system that is connected via a secure communication channel to the distributor appliance, and that is operable to transmit the digital asset to the distributor appliance; and a provisioning controller that is connected via a secure communication channel to the distributor appliance and is connected via another secure communication channel to the optional digital asset management system, and that is operable to directly or indirectly transmit the digital asset to the distributor appliance. The computerized device is not fully functional before the digital asset is loaded into it.

Automated bulk provisioning of primary rate interface and SIP trunk telephone numbers

A broadband provisioning system configured for bulk provisioning of communications services is provided. The system includes an order manager that includes machine executable instructions stored on machine readable media, the instructions for: receiving a request to provision a plurality of telephone numbers with communications services; creating details for the request and setting an initial state for the request; and upon commencement of processing of the request, updating the state of the request to indicate ongoing processing, provisioning each telephone number in the request by associating resources therewith, and updating a status for each telephone number provisioned; and upon completion of processing, changing the state of the request to indicate completion.

Disablement of Wi-Fi access in response to lack of activated SIM card

Example embodiments relate to a user equipment that can receive a command to turn on the user equipment. In response to determining that the user equipment has not been initialized, and prior to displaying a graphical user interface listing a Wi-Fi network to which the user equipment can connect, the user equipment presents a graphical user interface that displays an option to activate a cellular service provided by a mobile network operator entity, but does not display an option to activate the cellular service at a subsequent time.
