  • Publication number: 20170134948
    Abstract: A method for authorizing management for an embedded universal integrated circuit card includes: generating, by an eUICC manager, authorization information (S101); encrypting the authorization information by using eUICC management credential (S102); and sending the encrypted authorization information to an eUICC (S103), where the authorization information includes an identifier of at least one first device; or the authorization information includes at least one authorization credential. The authorization information is configured in the eUICC, and therefore, when a subsequently authorized first device manages a profile in the eUICC, the eUICC may directly accept or reject, according to a stored correspondence between a profile management function and an authorized first device, to be managed, without obtaining authorization information each time.

  • Publication number: 20150223136
    Abstract: In a method, after a terminal is handed over from a home network to a redundant network, the terminal receives a value of a periodic network detection timer that is sent by a handover module. The value of the periodic network detection timer is determined by a subscription management device according to a policy and sent to the handover module, or the value of the periodic network detection timer is preset by the handover module. The terminal periodically detects signal strength of the home network of the terminal according to the value of the periodic network detection timer. If it is detected that the signal strength of the home network of the terminal is restored, a home network restoration report is sent to the handover module.
