Systems and methods of device identifier selection are disclosed. In a particular embodiment, a method includes receiving an enumeration message via a host interface of a device operatively coupled to a host device as well as to one or more other devices and identifying the enumeration message as a command originated by the host device or as a response message from one of the other devices. The method includes, in response to identifying the enumeration message as a command, selectively sending an enumeration response message to the host device. The enumeration response message indicates a distinctive device identifier value. The method also includes, in response to identifying the enumeration message as a response message from one of the other devices, reading from the response message an identifier value used by such other device and at least temporarily storing this identifier value at the device to enable the device to select the distinctive device identifier value.

A storage device comprising a non-volatile memory for storing data, and an input device that is operative to select an operating mode of the storage device prior to mounting the storage device, such that each operating mode represents a different type of storage device. A controller interfaces with the input device to establish the selected operating mode of the storage device once the storage device is mounted.

A SIM card comprising at least a first interface and a second interface different from the first interface is disclosed. In some embodiments, the SIM card is operative to receive data through the first interface, store the received data within the SIM card, and send back the stored data via the second interface. This enables a host operatively coupled with the SIM card to write data to the SIM card via the first interface and to read back the data via the second interface. Furthermore, a technique for extending the SIM EEPROM storage by keeping a portion of the file in flash is provided.

A storage device with a memory and a controller, and a method of copying data on a storage device are provided to perform virtual copy and virtual write of data in a storage device without physically storing data in the storage device. The controller includes, or incorporates with an executable module that handles a command to copy data from a source logical address to a destination logical address, where the source logical memory address data is already associated with a first physical memory address storing the data.

A ternary card assembly is provided that includes a detachable smart card, a detachable information tab, and a disposable carrier card, which are connected by breakaway links. The smart card and the information tab may be connected to one another directly or indirectly through an intermediate element. The information tab may include one or more panels that are elastically displaceable from the plane of the information tab to render the information tab useful in different ways. A payload set is also provided, which includes a smart card and an information tab, which is detachably connected to only a part of the smart card's perimeter. Also provided are methods of preparing a smart card for use and for customizing a smart card.

A device having user-selectable content includes a storage having the capacity to store pre-loaded content and a controller. The controller is operative to manage access to the pre-loaded content, by way of limiting the access to a user-selected portion of the pre-loaded content. The controller limits access subject to and performed according to an indication of an initial purchase transaction. Also provided is a controller that includes a processing unit and an interface to a memory. The processing unit is operative to manage access to pre-loaded content stored on the memory.

A portable device includes n (n≧2) electrical sockets, each of which is configured to accommodate and to electrically engage a removable external memory card; an input device for selecting accommodated and electrically engaged external memory cards for data reading; and an output device for outputting information that is derived from or related to data read from such selected electrically engaged external memory cards. The information may pertain to digital content of the selected external memory card, to the identity of the selected external memory card, or to the storage capacity of the selected external memory card.

An identity module includes a memory and a processor. In the memory are stored installation code for installing in the memory a provider profile that associates the identity module with a communication services provider and communication code that, in combination with the provider profile, supports communication by a host of the identity module using services of the communication services provider. The processor executes the installation code to install the provider profile and then executes the communication code in support of the communication. Preferably, no portion of any such communication suite is stored initially in the identity module. The host requests the provider profile from a server that includes a communication interface for communicating with the host, a memory wherein is stored code for providing to the host a customization suite that includes substantially all of the provider profile, and a processor for executing the code.
