A monitor includes a casing with a display, a display controller disposed within the casing and that controls the display, a processor disposed within the casing that controls the display and communicates with a fifth generation (5G) network, a 5G antenna that connects the monitor to the 5G network, and a switch that switches the processor between an activated state and a deactivated state. The monitor is a zero-client system when the processor is in the activated state and a plain display when the processor is in the deactivated state.

The invention concerns a method for transmitting a subscription profile from a MNO to a secure element cooperating with a terminal, the secure element being pre-provisioned with a temporary profile comprising a unique identifier, a first MCC and a first MNC, the method comprising: Transmitting from a POS of the MNO the unique identifier of the secure element to a SM-DP; Creating or reserving the subscription profile at the SM-DP; Provisioning in a D-HSS server having the first MCC/MNC the unique identifier and a temporary IMSI comprising a second MCC, a second MNC; Provisioning in the HSS of the MNO the temporary IMSI and an ephemeral Ki; At the first attempt of the secure element to connect to the D-HSS server with its temporary profile, exchanging data in signaling messages between the secure element and the D-HSS for provisioning the secure element with the temporary IMSI; At the next attempt of the secure element to connect to the MNO network with the temporary IMSI, open an APN and send from the SM-DP to the secure element the subscription profile.

An improved core network that allows a UE to still initiate and/or receive communications via a native SIM line even if the registration of a virtual line fails is described herein. For example, the UE may include embedded virtual line settings that, when enabled, cause the UE to transmit a virtual line registration request to the core network. The core network can determine whether the UE is authorized to register a virtual line. If the UE is authorized, the core network can register a native SIM line, register the virtual line, and transmit a single message to the UE indicating that the native SIM and virtual lines are registered. If the UE is not authorized, the core network still registers the native SIM line and transmits a single message to the UE indicating that the native SIM line is registered.

Embodiments described herein relate to transfer of credentials between two mobile wireless devices that are within proximity of each other, via a secure local connection, or via a network-based cloud service, where the two mobile wireless devices are not in proximity to each other. Transfer of credentials can include communication between a source device, a target device, and/or one more network-based servers, which can include mobile network operator (MNO) managed servers, such as an entitlement server, a web-sheet server, an authentication server, a provisioning server, a subscription management data preparation (SM-DP+ ) server, a home subscriber server (HSS), and/or an authentication server, as well as third-party managed servers, such as a cloud service server and/or an identification services server. Authentication can be based at least in part on one or more tokens and/or a trust flag obtained by the source device and provided to the target device.

The present invention provides a vSIM module for a portable apparatus. The portable apparatus at least includes a slot. The vSIM module comprises a radio frequency chip, a baseband processor, a memory, an application processor, and a connector. The radio frequency chip is couple to an antenna. The baseband processor is coupled to the radio frequency chip. The memory is configured to store a vSIM connectivity management program. The application processor is coupled to the memory for executing the vSIM connectivity management program. The connector is configured to connect with the slot of the portable apparatus. When the vSIM connectivity management program is executed by the application processor, a vSIM service is activated.

A method and a wireless communication device for providing communication service to devices connected to the wireless communication device. By establishing a starter wireless carrier connection using a starter SIM from a plurality of local SIMs, the wireless communication device establishes one or more logical data connections with one or more SIM banks. Remote-SIMs are selected from the one or more SIM banks and used to establish further wireless carrier connections to allow communication service to be provided to the devices over wireless carrier connections.

The present disclosure relates to: a communication technique merging IoT technology with a 5G communication system for supporting a data transmission rate higher than that of a 4G system; and a system therefor. The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services (for example, smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart cars or connected cars, healthcare, digital education, retail business, security- and safety-related services, and the like) on the basis of 5G communication technologies and IoT-related technologies. The present invention proposes a method and an apparatus for enabling convenient device-to-device communication service movement by combining a user's device transfer start terminal and an operator support method even if the user starts a device transfer from any terminal when moving a profile between devices. In particular, according to one embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to provide a method comprising the steps of: receiving an input for moving a first profile installed in a first terminal; determining, in the first terminal, that a communication service provider's device transfer method is an ODSA method by checking profile metadata, a configuration server, or a terminal memory; determining, by ECS, an ECS/DP+ authentication method as a subscriber authentication method for the device transfer, and performing transmission together with ECS generation nonce and SM-DP+ address to the terminal; receiving, by the ECS, authentication result data processed by SM-DP+ from the first terminal, and verifying ECS-generated and delivered nonce included in the data and signature data of an SM-DP+ server through a GSMA Root CI certificate; and if verified, providing an activation code to the terminal and displaying a QR code on the screen of the first terminal.

A mobile device includes a processor, a transceiver, and a storage maintaining vehicle associations including phone numbers of telematics control units of vehicles. The device is programmed to identify a change in network address of the transceiver; encrypt the changed network address; and send the encrypted network address to the telematics control units using short message service messages addressed to the phone numbers of the telematics control units. A vehicle includes a storage including paired device data having phone numbers and network addresses of mobile devices and a telematics control unit including a firewall and web server. The firewall is programmed to, in response to receipt of a message from one of the phone numbers including a network address of the mobile device, update the storage to indicate the network address as an originating address authorized to use the web server.
