  • Patent number: 11812505
    Abstract: A device identifies device model information for the device. The device provides, to a first server device, an activation request that includes the device model information to activate an embedded subscriber identity module (eSIM) for the device. The device receives, from the first server device, an activation response that includes an eSIM profile identifier and location information that is to be used to identify eSIM profile configuration data (PCD). The device provides, to a second server device, a configuration request that includes an eSIM component identifier that identifies the eSIM of the device. The second server device is provided with the configuration request based on the location information. The device receives, from the second server device, a configuration response that includes the eSIM PCD. The device configures, by using the eSIM PCD, the eSIM with the eSIM profile.

  • Patent number: 11805412
    Abstract: In some implementations, a user equipment may provide an authentication request, including a detection code associated with a subscriber identification and an authentication identifier, to a subscription manager. The user equipment may receive, via a mobile network operator, an authentication response that includes an embedded universal integrated circuit card (eUICC) identifier (EID) based on providing the authentication request. The user equipment may generate, based on an activation code generated based on the authentication response, an activation request that includes the EID. The user equipment may provide the activation request to activate a wireless communication service that is provided by the mobile network operator.

  • Publication number: 20230239676
    Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which a card assignment, allocation, and distribution service is provided. The service may include generating vendor-agnostic identifiers that create a unified inventory among cards of different vendors. The service may also include generating vendor-agnostic identifiers with criterion data based on the vendor-agnostic identifiers. The criterion data may be used to steer and distribute cards among distribution devices associated with different vendor platforms. The vendor-agnostic identifiers with criterion data may optimize or minimize the generation and storage of data used to manage allocation and distribution of cards. Also, the vendor-agnostic identifiers with criterion data may reduce and/or streamline the network processing in allocation and distribution procedures of the cards to end devices.

  • Publication number: 20230094787
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for accurately enhancing optical character recognition with a machine learning approach for determining words from reverse text, vertical text, and atypically-sized text. For example, the disclosed systems segment a digital image into text regions and non-text regions utilizing an object detection machine learning model. Within the text regions, the disclosed systems can determine reverse text glyphs, vertical text glyphs, and/or atypically-sized text glyphs utilizing an edge based adaptive binarization model. Additionally, the disclosed systems can utilize respective modification techniques to manipulate reverse text glyphs, vertical text glyphs, and/or atypically-sized glyphs for analysis by an optical character recognition model.

  • Publication number: 20190325509
    Abstract: A system for generating virtual items is described that includes an augmented reality (AR) item generator engine configured to determine and assign a location in a facility for virtual items based on a transaction history of a user of a mobile application, historical facility data, and a first set of rules using machine learning to increase visits to selected locations in the facility. The AR item generator engine also transmits instructions to the mobile application to present the virtual items on a map of the facility. Each virtual item is viewable in the mobile application via augmented reality at an assigned location in the physical facility. The AR item generator engine also monitors a route of the mobile computing device within the facility based on a transmitted location from the mobile device, and receives a notification from the application when the user has collected a virtual item.

  • Patent number: 10368219
    Abstract: A method is provided for self-provisioning and personalization of a companion device. A primary user device receives input to initiate a cellular service activation process for a companion device, wherein the companion device includes a preloaded version of a service provider application for facilitating remote provisioning. The primary device provides, to the companion device, an updated version of the service provider application that replaces the preloaded version. The primary device receives, from the companion device, an embedded universal integrated circuit card (eUICC) identifier for the companion device and forwards the eUICC identifier to a network device and an identifier for the primary device.

  • Patent number: 10111063
    Abstract: A method is provided for self-provisioning and personalization of a companion device. A primary user device receives, via an activation application for cellular service activation of a companion device, user input to initiate a cellular service activation process for the companion device. The primary user device establishes a local network connection with the companion device and receives from the companion device an embedded universal integrated circuit card (eUICC) identifier. The primary user device forwards, to a network device in a service provider network, the eUICC identifier along with an identifier for the primary user device. The primary user device receives, from the network device, an activation code for the eUICC and forwards to the companion device the activation code. The activation code automatically causes the companion device to initiate a profile download request for an eUICC to be included with a new line of service under a subscriber account associated with the primary user device.
