Patent number: 8862113Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed that provide refresh procedure to ensure successful subscriber identity module activation during active data and voice calls. A request to update a subscription data on a network application housed on a Universal Integrated Circuit Card (UICC) is processed by a mobile equipment (ME) and is forwarded to the UICC smart card. The UICC smart card updates the requested parameters on the network application and probes the ME to read the updated parameters. The ME polls its services to check if the network application can be refreshed. If the network application was not previously activated, the voting mechanism on refresh procedure is skipped and the ME proceeds with refreshing the network application for updating its copy of the subscription information.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2012Date of Patent: October 14, 2014Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Michele Berionne, Yashodhan Tarte, Jose Alfredo Ruvalcaba, Shriram Ganesh
