  • Patent number: 12144062
    Abstract: In various examples, a user seeking to switch network providers may reserve an eSIM profile through touch selection of the display of a UE, which causes encoding and transmission of an identifier associated with the UE to a network operator. As a result, human error both in transmitting and receiving the identifier needed to reserve an eSIM profile is eliminated. And the time needed to identify and transmit the identifier is significantly reduced in comparison to orally conveying the identifier to a customer services representative or keying in the identifier, and then verifying the identifier with the representative.

  • Patent number: 12052385
    Abstract: A network services provider delivers bandwidth services to users in relation to a dynamic limit based on an average user consumption, rather than a fixed amount per subscriber. An average user consumption is employed to compute a consumption limit from relative portions of a user community substantially exceed the average, typically defined as “heavy users.” Usage levels below the consumption limit have an increased availability up to the consumption limit. The consumption limit may vary from a total capacity of the service infrastructure, which changes, generally in an increasing manner, as additional resources are added to the network. The consumption limits may be defined over different service intervals, such as daily, weekly or monthly, and for different groups of users depending on network layout.
