Abstract: A mobile device is provided having a smart card. The smart card is powered by the mobile device and a maximum power supply value is defined by the mobile device to control the power drawn by the smart card. Provision is made for the smart card to inform the mobile device of the processes supported by the smart card and their classes of current. Provision is also made for the smart card to inform the mobile device whether or not the smart card supports high density memory. The mobile device is operable to use the information provided by the smart card to determine the optimal or best value of electrical current that is to be made available to the smart card.

Abstract: A mobile device is provided having a smart card. The smart card is programmed to generate a new configure command that can be used to configure network related parameters with in the mobile device. The configure command can be used to override existing network related parameters or to add additional network related parameters. The network related parameters may relate to different access points and an identifier may be associated with each set of network parameters to facilitate the subsequent identification of desired network related parameters.

Abstract: The present invention provides for a method data of achieving protection in a circuit card such as a UICC arranged for storage of a plurality of data elements and providing protection on the basis of a domain protection-element serving to define operations that can be permitted on a data element, and on the basis of a password protection-element serving to control access to a data element and wherein at least one of the plurality of data elements is associated with both a domain protection-element and a password-protection element, and the invention further provides for a circuit card arranged for the secure storage of such data elements and for a ME arranged to employ such a circuit card.

Abstract: A mobile device is provided having a smart card. The smart card is powered by the mobile device and a maximum power supply value is defined by the mobile device to control the power drawn by the smart card. Provision is made for the smart card or the mobile device to renegotiate the maximum power supply level for the smart card without having to reset the mobile device. This provides the mobile device with dynamic control of the power drawn by the smart card, which can help the mobile device to optimize the power saving management.

Abstract: The invention provides for a method of communication within a mobile radio communications device between a chip-card in server mode and any one or more of a plurality of clients each having the same IP address, the method including the steps of creating for each of the clients a socket, wherein each socket is bound to a client port allocated by the device, associating a client identifier to each of the bound client ports, and making each said client identifier available to the chip-card whereby the chip card can distinguish between messages from the plurality of clients.

Abstract: The present invention provides for a UICC interface and related interfacing method, for use in a mobile radio communications device and including means enabling the UICC to provide an indication that at least one service requiring location data is present in the UICC, means for UICC to receive notification that a source of location data is available, means for allowing the UICC to initiate transfer of location data thereto, means for the actual transfer of the location data to the UICC, and means enabling the UICC to terminate the transfer of the location data, and wherein the location data can be provided from a GPS module or remotely in a contact-less manner.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for setting up data bearer parameters for a wireless communication between a User Equipment (2) and a remote server (12, 14, 15) in a telecommunication network, said UE (2) comprising a UICC (4) and a Mobile Equipment (6) having each a TCP/IP stack, said UICC (4) embodying at least one application intended to connect to at least one application on the network side, said method comprising the following steps: the UICC sends to the Mobile Equipment ME PDP context parameters within a specific command defined for activating or deactivating a PDP context, on reception of said specific command, the Mobile Equipment transmits a PDP context request to the Network with the parameters received in said specific command, on reception of said PDP context request the Network transmits to the Mobile Equipment (6) a confirmation for a PDP context activation or for a PDP context deactivation, the Mobile Equipment (6) forwards said confirmation to the UICC (4).

Abstract: A method for providing a UICC embedded in a wireless Mobile Equipment (ME) with an operator DNS IP address in a Wireless communication Network, said method comprising the following steps: defining a specific Mobile Equipment (ME) event that the UICC may monitor, defining a new data structure that will comprise the DNS IP address to be sent to the UICC, registering the UICC to said event via predefined Setup Event List proactive command, generating said specific event by said ME when a PDP context is activated between the ME and the Network, including the DNS IP address in said new data structure, sending said new data structure (including the DNS IP address) from the ME to the UICC via a new Envelop command when said generated event occurs.

Abstract: The invention relates to A method for speeding up the detection and the activation of the communication protocol used between a terminal (2) and a UICC (4) supporting at least one High Speed protocol (HSP). The method according to the invention is characterized by providing the terminal (2) with information about the High Speed Protocol supported by said UICC (4) through the current interface prior to the communication with said UICC (4) through a HSP interface.

Abstract: A plurality of simultaneous requests sent from one or a plurality of clients is processed by a (U)SIM card operating in a server mode. The present invention relates to a method of communication between a chip card ((U)SIM) provided with a server (SCWS) and one or a plurality of clients wherein the card is included in a mobile radio terminal to communicate via at least one BIP channel with the terminal, the terminal performs a gateway function between the BIP channel and a plurality of TCP connections for one or more clients described above.
