  • Patent number: 11503474
    Abstract: Obtaining a communication network access profile for a first security module associated with a first user device. On receipt of a command for associating the first user device with a subscription with an operator including a second user device associated with a second security module, the second user device sends the first user device a message including a contact address of a server configured to provide by downloading an access profile and a datum allowing the server to interrogate a control server to obtain an order for downloading the access profile. This message triggers sending by the first security module a request for obtaining an access profile associated with the subscription, addressed to the contact address and having the datum. On obtaining an order, the access profile is downloaded into the first security module, a confirmation being sent by the first user device to the second user device.

  • Patent number: 11140554
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for configuring a security module connected to a telecommunication terminal in a framework of a multi-SIM offer. In particular, a control server allocates a set of N activation codes corresponding to a subscription including a plurality of N profiles to allocate to a set of N respective terminals, and thus implements the steps: a) after activation of a first code with a first terminal, allocating a profile to the first terminal and recording a connection of the allocated profile to the first terminal, b) for a new request for allocating a current profile to a current terminal, allocating the current profile to the current terminal, if: no connection of this current terminal to a profile is recorded, and no connection of this current profile to a terminal is recorded, and recording the connection of the current profile to the current terminal.

  • Patent number: 10863345
    Abstract: A technique for administrating a subscription to an operator. This subscription allows access to a communication network for a security module associated with a user device. A contact address of a server configured to prepare subscription management data is obtained on the basis of an access profile for the network installed in the security module. The security module sends a request for execution of an act of administration in conjunction with this subscription. The request is addressed to the contact address of the server and comprises a datum allowing the server to forward the request to a control server. Once the act of administration has been executed, the user device receives a confirmation of execution of this act of administration originating from the control server.

  • Patent number: 10798565
    Abstract: A method implemented by a control server for configuring a security module connected to a telecommunication terminal. In particular, the control server allocates a unique activation code corresponding to a subscription including a plurality of N profiles to allocate to a fleet of N respective terminals. Thus the control server: a) after activation of the code with a first terminal, allocates a profile to the first terminal and records the profile allocation to the first terminal, and b) for a new profile allocation request corresponding to the activation code, repeats step a) if the N profiles have not already been allocated.
