Abstract:
An electronic device is provided that includes a removable SIM to store a first profile including information related to a home network and information related to a roaming network. The portable electronic device also includes an eSIM, and communication circuitry. The portable electronic device further includes at least one processor adapted to determine that the portable electronic device is out of network service coverage corresponding to the home network based at least in part on the first profile, establish, using the communication circuitry, a specified communication connection with the roaming network using the first profile based at least in part on the determining, transmit a request for a second profile associated with data service via the specified communication connection, and receive, in response to the request, the second profile via the specified communication connection, the receiving including storing the second profile in the eSIM.
Abstract:
A method of transferring a profile by an electronic device and an electronic device supporting the same are provided. The electronic device includes a secure memory that installs and deletes at least one profile, a profile manager module that performs an authentication procedure about a target electronic device based on device information of the target electronic device and profile information of a target profile, when a profile transfer event about a target profile of the at least one profile installed on the secure memory occurs, and a communication interface that transfers the target profile based on an authentication result about the target electronic device.
Abstract:
An electronic device is provided, which includes a removable SIM, a secure memory configured to store at least one profile, a processor configured to select at least one of the removable SIM and the secure memory, to be used for packet data transmission and reception, in response to an occurrence of a data service change event, and a communication interface configured to perform network registration through the selected at least one of the removable SIM and the secure memory and to transmit and receive packet data through the registered network.
Abstract:
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a first communication module configured to establish a communication channel to an external electronic device based on wired communications or short-range communications, a second communication module that supports a communication service provided via a base station; a control module configured to obtain a communication profile required for operating the second communication module using the external electronic device connected through the first communication module, and a memory configured to store the communication profile.
Abstract:
An electronic device and method of managing a Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) are provided. The electronic device includes a memory configured to store at least one instruction; and a provisioning manager connected to the memory, wherein the instruction related to an operation performance of the provisioning manager is configured to search for an accessible communication service provider network on the basis of a Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) where a profile relating to a communication service connection of at least one communication service provider network is not installed and collect at least one communication service provider information on the basis of the found communication service provider network.
