Patent number: 11924916Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to transmit, to a cellular carrier, a request to activate the UE with the cellular carrier. The UE is also configured to, in response to receiving an authentication request for authenticating a user of the UE, transmit, to the cellular carrier, information identifying another UE and authentication information for authenticating the user ; prompt the user, via a display of the UE, to provide, to an input system of the UE, verification information transmitted to the other UE; transmit, to the cellular carrier, the verification information; and in response to validation of the verification information by the cellular carrier, receive an embedded subscriber identity module (eSIM) subscription transferred from the other UE.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Raj S. Chaugule, Alex M. Was, Avinash Narasimhan, Damien R. Holzapfel, He Zheng, Li Li, Timothy M. Sheridan, Vikram B. Yerrabommanahalli

Patent number: 11736931Abstract: This Application sets forth techniques for provisioning and activating electronic subscriber identity modules (eSIMs) for mobile wireless devices. An eSIM is reserved during a sales order process and later activated during device activation after receipt by a user. An option for eSIM installation in place of (or in addition to) physical SIM installation is provided when purchasing the mobile wireless device. The reserved eSIM can replace a previous SIM/eSIM or be a new eSIM. During device activation, installation and activation of the eSIM occurs. Activation of the eSIM can occur before or after deactivation of a transferred SIM/eSIM. The mobile wireless device accounts for propagation delay of eSIM activation through MNO servers by disabling and re-enabling the eSIM until initial attachment to an MNO cellular wireless network succeeds or a maximum number of retry attempts is reached.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2022Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Raj S. Chaugule, Li Li, Vikram Bhaskara Yerrabommanahalli, Chandiramohan Vasudevan, Damien R. Holzapfel, Avinash Narasimhan, Ameya R. Kasbekar

Publication number: 20090025005Abstract: A method and system for assigning resources such as housing associated with an educational institution via communication network is disclosed. A user of a client computer sends a registration request defining registration data to a server facilitating a resource assignment service. The resource assignment service then determines the eligibility of users to use the service based on retrieved registration data, and assigns a randomly generated personal identification number (PIN) to eligible users. The resource assignment service can then assign a timeslot for eligible users to request a desired resource as a function of their assigned PINs. Users may then use the client computer to during their assigned timeslots to submit requests to the resource assignment service for desired resource assignments.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2007Publication date: January 22, 2009Applicant: CREIGHTON UNIVERSITYInventors: Damien R.
