An electronic device and method are disclosed herein. The electronic device includes a communication module, a display, a memory and a processor which implements the method. The method includes receiving access point (AP) information from at least one AP through the communication module, generating an AP list including an AP communicatively connectable with the electronic device based on the received AP information, storing the AP list in the memory, identifying a state of the electronic device, determining an arrangement criterion for arranging a display order of Aps included in the AP list based on state information about the electronic device, and controlling the display to arrange the AP list according to the determined arrangement criterion.

A semiconductor integrated card includes an external package, a subscriber identification module (SIM) circuit, a plurality of SIM pins, a storage device and a plurality of memory pins. The SIM circuit is formed inside of the external package and is configured to store subscriber information. The SIM pins are formed on a surface of the external package and are electrically connected to the SIM circuit. The storage device is formed inside of the external package and is separated from the SIM circuit. The storage device includes a nonvolatile memory device. The memory pins are formed on the surface of the external package and are electrically connected to the storage device.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium stores a display control program that causes a computer to execute a process. The process includes, receiving a notification from a terminal in one-way communication, when identification information included in the received notification is detected, extracting data included in the notification, and updating display contents of a display device from first display contents to second display contents based on the extracted data.

The process further includes providing a machine-readable activation code arranged on the first surface, wherein the machine-readable activation code is configured to authorize the wireless service when provided to a system associated with a wireless service provider, receiving the machine-readable activation code in a server, the machine-readable activation code being captured by a wireless device, and provisioning the wireless service to the wireless device from a wireless network when the machine-readable activation code is provided to the system associated with the wireless network.

A card reader includes a digital connector such as a Universal Serial Bus (USB) plug or an Apple Lightning plug. The digital connector includes a corresponding connector interface, which provides voltage to at least a card reader interface and an integrated circuit (IC) of the card reader. The card reader interface outputs an analog transaction information signal upon reading the card. The IC generates a digital version of the analog transaction information signal, encrypts the digital version, converts that into an analog audio signal. The audio signal can then be sent to the connector interface, which converts it into a digital signal such as a USB or Apple Lightning signal that is sent by the digital connector to a mobile device. Alternately, the audio signal can be sent to a microcontroller that converts the audio signal to a digital format such as USB, and then to the digital connector.

Implementation and communication methods, an apparatus and a system of a virtual subscriber identity module (VSIM) are provided. The implementation method includes: receiving a VSIM application request sent by a terminal, where the VSIM application request carries an identifier of a VSIM desired by the terminal; obtaining corresponding VSIM installation information according to the identifier of the desired VSIM; and sending the VSIM installation information to the terminal, so that the terminal installs the VSIM according to the VSIM installation information. According to the present application, a problem where an existing mobile operator network does not support the VSIM is effectively solved, and an effective and convenient operation scheme is provided for an existing domestic or international roaming service.

A system for adding, authorizing, or activating pre-paid wireless service includes a sticker, and a server. The sticker has an authorization code. The sticker is configured to be affixed to a surface of a product. The server is configured to receive the authorization code. The server is further configured to verify that the received authorization code is authentic. The server is further configured to at least one of add, authorize, and activate wireless service in response to receiving and verifying the received authorization code.

A POS payment terminal (1) using a mobile communication device (4), such as a mobile phone, is created over a temporary connection between the merchant's Sales Device (2) with the removable memory card (18), where the removable memory card (18) is inserted into the customer's slot of the mobile communication device (4). The Sales Device (2) contains a secure memory (6) with the POS terminal's identification data in the form of a SAM card or an ICC card (9) or directly in the form of a secure element on the circuit printed. The payment terminal (1) is created before or during the payment process over a temporary connection between a Sales Device (2) with a mobile communication device (4), which is held by the customer and which has a removable memory card that can have an independent communication element, especially of the NFC type. The payment cryptogram is of standard form, e.g. in the EMV format and it is sent online or offline in batches to the payment processing center (15) according to the amount paid and the preset risk management.
