  • Patent number: 11418944
    Abstract: A method of adaptive generation of a profile package is constructed to install a profile in the eUICC. The method includes adaptive generation of a code package constructed to install an executable code in the device. A batch of multiple profile (or code) descriptions is provided. The target eUICC/target device or some other competent instance is arranged to provide the transfer server with configuration information of the target eUICC/target device. The transfer server retrieves, instead of a ready-made profile (code) package (eSIM), only a profile (code) description and profile (code) data. The transfer server then generates the profile package adaptively, there-in flexibly considering the configuration information on the target eUICC/target device. By this adaptive way of profile generation, profile packages matching with the real target eUICC/target device are generated.
