Patent number: 8837449Abstract: A universal integrated circuit card (UICC) may include a universal subscriber identity module (USIM); a code division multiple access (CDMA) subscriber identity module (CSIM); a memory to store instructions; and a processor. The processor may execute instructions to determine a type of wireless access network available to a user equipment (UE) associated with the UICC; perform updates of the UICC using the USIM, in response to detecting a CDMA enhanced High Rate Packet Data (eHRPD) network, a Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) access network, or a Long Term Evolution (LTE) access network; and perform updates of the UICC using the CSIM, in response to detecting an available CDMA access network other than a CDMA eHRPD access network.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2010Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignees: Cellco Partnership, Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Xuming Chen, Lawrence S.

Patent number: 8824680Abstract: A first network device is configured to receive a request for a secret key, generate the secret key, and send the secret key to a second network device, a third network device, and a wireless user device. The second network device may send content, encrypted with the secret key, to the wireless user device. The third network device may send content, encrypted with the secret key, to the wireless user device when the second network device is not sending content to the wireless user device. The wireless user device may use the secret key to decrypt the content received from the second network device or the third network device.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2012Date of Patent: September 2, 2014Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: William C. King, Bjorn Hjelm, Lalit R. Kotecha

Patent number: 8423002Abstract: A mobile device may determine an address of a location server to use for location-based services to the mobile device. In one implementation, a mobile device may retrieve a service list that indicates services available to the mobile device and determine whether location-based services are enabled for the mobile device. The mobile device may additionally retrieve, from a file stored as part of a file structure associated with a smart card of the mobile device, a network address of a location server corresponding to the location-based services. The mobile device may connect to the location server to obtain location-based services from the location server.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2010Date of Patent: April 16, 2013Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventor: Bjorn Hjelm

Patent number: 8346287Abstract: Mobile terminals may be authenticated separately from a smart card used by the mobile terminal. In one implementation, a mobile terminal may query a remote server, based on a value identifying the mobile terminal, for security information relating to the mobile terminal, where a copy of the security information is stored in the mobile terminal as part of the manufacture of the mobile terminal. A smart card may receive the security information in response to the query. The security information may be received in an encrypted format that is not accessible by the mobile terminal. The smart card may communicate with the mobile terminal to authenticate the mobile terminal based on the security information received in response to the query and the copy of the security information that is stored in the mobile terminal.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2011Date of Patent: January 1, 2013Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: William Chung King, Bjorn Hjelm, Thomas W.
