  • Patent number: 11395133
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a wireless communication circuit, a secure element configured to store information, the information including a first identifier indicating the secure element and at least one second identifier indicating a profile for a wireless communication service provided by at least one cellular network, at least one processor, and a memory configured to store instructions. The instructions, when executed, cause the at least one processor to transmit the first identifier to a first external server, via the wireless communication circuit, receive a second identifier and a profile associated with the second identifier from the second external server via the wireless communication circuit and store the second identifier and the profile in the secure element, and receive a first request, including the second identifier, associated with management of the profile, from the first external server.

  • Patent number: 11259173
    Abstract: Disclosed is an electronic device. The electronic device may comprise: at least one processor, an eUICC including a plurality of profiles; an RF circuit and a GPS circuit, for communicating with a network by using an activated first profile among the plurality of profiles; and a memory for storing a profile list database including information on the plurality of profiles. The at least one processor may implement a management module for managing the plurality of profiles, and the management module may deactivate the first profile and activate a second profile on the basis of location information acquired by the RF circuit or the GPS circuit. In addition, various embodiments understood through the specification are possible.

  • Publication number: 20190215680
    Abstract: An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes at least one processor and an embedded universal integrated circuit card (eUICC) configured to be electrically connected with the at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to implement a management module configured to manage a profile stored in the eUICC. The management module is configured to, when there is an enabled profile in the eUICC, perform a communication function based on the enabled profile and, when there is no the enabled profile in the eUICC, disable at least one of a periodic eUICC verification function and a network search function.

  • Patent number: 9986532
    Abstract: Various examples of the present invention relate to an electronic device group paging method and an electronic device thereof, and an electronic device operating method can comprise the steps of: converting, in a discontinuous reception (DRX) mode, the electronic device from an idle state into a wakeup state when it is time to check group paging; analyzing, in the wakeup state, the validity of a group paging message received through machine type communication (MTC); and performing a specific function according to the group paging message if the group paging message is valid. In addition, the various examples of the present invention also include the aforementioned example and other examples.
