  • Patent number: 10735944
    Abstract: An eSIM management framework can serve as an abstraction layer between various partners, mobile network operators, mobile-virtual network operators, and/or enterprises and SIM or eSIM vendors. The eSIM management framework can facilitate real-time SIM and/or eSIM profile provisioning to reduce consumption of network resources. In some examples, an eSIM management framework can facilitate just-in-time client-side provisioning, which can include on-demand generation of an appropriate SIM or eSIM profile.

  • Publication number: 20200242135
    Abstract: Recognizing unknown data objects may be implemented for data objects stored in a data store. Data objects that are identified as unknown may be accessed to retrieve a portion of the data object. Different representations of the data object may be generated for recognizing different data schemas. An analysis of the representations may be performed to identify a data schema for the unknown data object. The data schema may be stored in a metadata store for the unknown data object.

  • Patent number: 10713272
    Abstract: Dynamic generation of data catalogs may be implemented for accessing data sets in different storage locations. Data sets may be accessed in order to extract portions of data. Structure recognition techniques may be applied to the extracted data in order to determine structural information for the data sets. The structural information may then be stored as part of a data catalog for the data sets. Requests to access the data catalog from different clients may be received and the requested structural data supplied so that the clients may access different data sets utilizing the supplied structural data. Data catalogs may be updated as changes to data sets are made.

  • Publication number: 20200213450
    Abstract: The disclosed system provides a facility for split billing for a single user on multiple billing systems. The disclosed system activates the user on each respective billing system using a unique pairing, such as an international mobile subscriber identity that identifies the user, and a mobile station international subscriber directory number that identifies a particular user device. As device data is routed through a telecommunication network via each access point name (APN), the network generates call detail records (CDRs), which include an indication of the APN used. The CDRs are routed to a mediations platform that uses the received APN information to route each CDR to the appropriate target billing system. For example, CDRs identifying a APN may be routed to a telematics billing system, which then generates a bill that is sent to a car dealership.

  • Patent number: 10674431
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing improved network service allocation. Rather than providing all-or-nothing network service allocation to users, the system can use the mobile country code (MCC) and mobile network code (MNC) to provide access to different services to different users. The services provided to each roaming user, for example, can be negotiated in a roaming agreement with the user's provider. The roaming user can then be provided access to only those services agreed to in the roaming agreement. A home provider can also use multiple MNCs to provide similar service allocation to home users, with each MNC providing a different combination of services. The home provider can also use mobile subscriber identification numbers (MSINs), or ranges of MSINs, to provide service allocation for home users.

  • Publication number: 20200159742
    Abstract: History for data objects may be maintained to detect data events. An indication of an Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) process applied to one or more source data objects to generate one or more transformed data objects may be received. History for the source data objects may be updated to include the transformed data objects and the ETL process that generated the transformed data objects. An evaluation of the update may be performed to determine whether an event associated with the data lineage is triggered. If the event is triggered, a notification of the event may be sent to one or more subscribers for the event.

  • Patent number: 10645665
    Abstract: Provisioning access to an alternative service provider to a device via e-subscriber identity module (SIM) profile management is described herein. A service provider can determine that a device associated with the service provider is located outside of a home coverage area of the service provider and is not transmitting data via data session(s) established in association with the service provider and send, to the device, a notification including an access mechanism for enabling access to service(s) offered by an alternative service provider. The device can receive the notification from the server(s), determine actuation of the access mechanism, and send, to the alternative service provider, a request for access to the service(s) offered by the alternative service provider. The device can receive an eSIM profile from the alternative service provider, which it can install on the device to enable the device to access the service(s) offered by the alternative service provider.

  • Publication number: 20200137553
    Abstract: A mobile device, via a roaming platform, can switch IMSIs (e.g., Home IMSI-1, Roamer IMSI-2, etc.) depending on a location of the mobile device. Upon switching IMSIs, the roaming platform can forward the update location to an HLR of the home network and roaming network. If the MMSC on the home network receives an MMS message, the MMSC on the home network may query the HLR for a current location. From the query, if the message recipient is roaming, the MMSC on the home network may communicate with the MMSC on the roaming network to deliver the message. As a result, the roaming network can handle the routing of the message without a data session routed back through the home network.

  • Patent number: 10489356
    Abstract: A first column of a first database table may be transferred to a second table in a combined truncate and append operation in a transaction that may be atomic and reversible. References data for the first column may be removed from the first table and added to the second table. The combined operation may be reversed by removing, from the second table, references to blocks of data added to the second table prior to commencing the combined operation. A second column corresponding on a row-by-row basis to the first column may be added to the second table, where the data is indicative of visibility of data in the first column to other transactions on the second table.

  • Patent number: 10447154
    Abstract: According to certain aspects, the present embodiments are based on an improved switched-capacitor (SC) converter topology that typically does not include an inductor. In particular, the topology includes a ladder SC circuit configured as a cap divider. The cap divider can be used to provide an unregulated output voltage Vout that is a certain fraction (e.g. 2) of input voltage Vin, such as Vin/2 (i.e., duty cycle?50%). In some embodiments of a PWM control scheme for this topology, the PWM OFF pulse is free running, determined by the logic combination of timer and VOUT comparator. The PWM OFF pulse width is measured and used as the reference for a minimum PWM ON timer. The PWM ON pulse is therefore forced to be at least a minimum width that is proportional to the PWM OFF pulse. A UVOV protection window can be added to ignore the minimum PWM ON timer during a load transient.

  • Publication number: 20190305675
    Abstract: The present embodiments relate generally to switched-capacitor (SC) based DC-DC converters, and more particularly to modulation schemes of cap dividers that include ceramic capacitors such as MLCCs. According to certain general aspects, the present embodiments increase the switching frequency at light loads using variable frequency modulation schemes to reduce the voltage difference across the MLCCs. In these and other embodiments, the acoustic noise generated from the MLCCs can be reduced while maintaining excellent light load efficiency. According to certain aspects, this can be achieved with minimal impact on system performance, cost and size.
