Definitions
- the invention deals with replacement of data processing devices.
- Each data processing device is attached to a respective account identifying a subscriber.
- the invention applies to SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card replacement and the corresponding activation process of new accounts.
- Remote SIM Card Replacement and Activation process applies in the GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) world where SIM plays an important role in identifying subscribers to the GSM network operator for services such as voice communications, mobile services, and mobile transactions.
- GSM Global System for Mobile Communication
- IMSI International Mobile Subscriber Identity
- a network operator purchases SIM cards from various SIM vendors in batch and need to provision all the information (Card ID, Account Information, and the like) on the SIM card to their network system as well as various backend systems before activating a SIM account.
- Card ID Credit Card ID
- Account Information and the like
- this activation can be done when subscribers register their information at the operator's point-of-sale (POS).
- POS point-of-sale
- activation has to be done in advance so the card is already activated when the subscriber purchases the card from any distribution channel such as operator's POS or authorized dealers.
- WO 03/041445 discloses a system and method to allow the same terminating telephone number with multiple mobile telephones.
- a server is operable to receive the first call made from a new mobile phone and determine if a user of this new mobile phone is a returning user of a previous mobile telephone. In this case, the server obtains from the user of the newly activated mobile telephone, a telephone number of the previous mobile telephone and assigns this telephone number to the newly activated mobile phone.
- WO 02/018361 discloses a system and method for using a temporary electronic serial number for over-the-air activation of a SIM based mobile device.
- the method comprises pre-programming the SIM card with temporary activating identifiers such as an IMSI, and/or a mobile identification number, and a temporary electronic serial number, and to use this temporary electronic serial number to identify the mobile device during registration and activation. Once the activation process is completed, the temporary activation identifiers are overwritten.
- a remote SIM replacement process is necessary to be in place to resolve the SIM replacement (and perform activation after replacement) issue.
- the process should ensure that proper security is in place to avoid fraud, and at the same time, should be fault proof without much user inconvenience and intervention.
- the solution should also enable a remote SIM card activation after replacement which can help the operators to provide just-in-time provisioning and activation of the accounts to the AuC, HLR and various backend systems. Thus, it can help operators better utilize the investment on the systems' capacity when necessary.
- the new SIM includes - A one-time parameter (IMSI/Ki) known from the network (HLR,AuC), said one-time parameter being the active account, and - New parameters identifying a new account (IMSI/Ki) attached to a new data processing system,
- the activation steps are the followings:
- the one-time IMSI/Ki is used to login to the network
- the invention provides SIM swapping and activation, which are in the hand of end user and the same One-time IMSI/Ki is used for a set of new cards.
- Figure 1 is a view of a computer system in which the invention can be applied.
- Figure 2 is a file structure of the new SIM card, in place to facilitate the remote replacement and activation.
- FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the information copied from the old SIM card into the new SIM card.
- Figure 1 is a view of a system that includes:
- - a SIM copy device - a mobile phone MOB where a SIM card can be inserted into;
- the mobile phone communicates with a SMS center SMSC;
- the SMS center SMSC communicates with a SIM data management SDM communicating with a plurality of entities able to manage the account attached to each SIM card.
- Management of a SIM card includes network authentication, mobile localization, and the like.
- SIM card For each SIM card, there are two basic elements on the card in order for the network to identify the subscribers: (1 ) a IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) and, (2) a Ki (Authentication key).
- IMSI serves as the account identifier, whereas the Ki is used when the subscriber's mobile station (handset/phone) is requesting to logon to the network.
- Ki Authentication key
- the IMSI serves as the account identifier
- Ki is used when the subscriber's mobile station (handset/phone) is requesting to logon to the network.
- ICCID IC Card Identifier
- the network authenticates the SIM card (identified by the IMSI value) based on the authentication result generated by the Ki and the on-card authentication algorithm, for example, the Comp128 algorithm defined in the GSM specification.
- the IMSI and Ki value In order for the subscriber to logon to the network, the IMSI and Ki value must be preloaded onto the network's AuC for a successful authentication to be performed. If the IMSI and Ki are not present in the AuC, the subscriber cannot logon to the network due to an inexistent IMSI entry. This will be the key in the replacement process that the IMSI, Ki pair of the card being replaced must be removed from the AuC, followed by the replacement of the new IMSI, Ki value of the replacement (new) card.
- SIM copy device COP (hereafter refer as 'the SIM copy device') which can read and write SIM data in and out from the old and into the new SIM (e.g., a software on PC with a smart card reader attached, a customized hardware device to read and write onto the smart card).
- the Old SIM Card OCAR contains existing account information.
- the NEW SIM Card NCAR contains the following information:
- a One-time IMSI, One-time KI in order for the new card to get the access to the network to perform one-time activation request; 3.
- the predefined numbers will be the customer care center number in case for any query. 4.
- a small hidden application with the ability to send out an Activation Request to a dedicated address for account activation by SMS, USSD String, or any other means to inform the backend for such request when the user initiate an Activation Request in the form of menu selection on the phone, or auto-trigger after the One-time account activation.
- the SIM copy device COP copies the following information from the OLD card to the NEW card:
- SMS Short Message Service
- the SIM copy device COP copies all OLD card information (ICCID, IMSI, Phonebook, SMS entries, etc) from the old card OCAR into the new SIM card NCAR so that the NEW SIM sends out an Activation Request to the network with the Old Account information (OLD ICCID, OLD IMSI) and the NEW Account information (NEW ICCID, NEW IMSI).
- OLD card information ICCID, IMSI, Phonebook, SMS entries, etc
- the SIM copy device COP also copies the phonebook, SMS entries, and the like to the NEW SIM, upon new card activation, the new SIM NCAR will preserve all the old card information with the new services in placed.
- the SIM Data Management System SDM mainly serves the following purposes:
- SIM Data Management Server SDM determines in which HLR/AuC the new IMSI/Ki resides at the time of activation. Consequently, this allows better management of HLR subscription capacity and the one-time IMSI/Ki is shared with multiple cards.
- the purpose of the new card before activation is to send the activation request. This is why every new card uses the same number as long as the information sent out from the new card NCAR contains the OLD card's IMSI and NEW card (SCB) embedded IMSI for reference.
- Step 1 Subscriber Replaces the Old SIM Card.
- a subscriber purchases or receives a new SIM card from the operator or from the operator's distribution channel. Thanks to the SIM copy device from the distributor or purchased or sent together with the new SIM card NCAR, the subscriber can copy all the existing (also refer to as "old") information from the existing SIM card to the new SIM card NCAR.
- Figure 2 gives an example of a new SIM file structure in place to facilitate the remote replacement and activation.
- Figure 3 shows part of the files stored in the old card OCAR and the new SIM card NCAR. On the left of this figure, we have represented the old SIM file structure and on the right the new SIM file structure (we have only represented the related files). More particularly, arrows indicate the information copied from the old OCAR into the new SIM card NCAR. The SIM copy device COP copies the following information from the old SIM to the new SIM according to the location in the previous table.
- the One-Time IMSI and Ki is an existing account on the network for all the new cards to logon to the network for Activation Request. The account cannot make phone calls due to the network setup as well as on-card FDN (Fixed Dialing Number) enabled for Customer Care center only.
- FDN Fixed Dialing Number
- Step 2 Subscriber Activates the New SIM Card
- the subscriber puts the new SIM card NCAR in the mobile device MB to start the first Activation Request.
- the SIM card and the Auto-Activation application perform the following steps:
- the new SIM Card NCAR authenticates with the network using the One-time IMSI and the response calculated from the One-time Authentication Key, Ki.
- the Auto-Activation application sends out a Activation Request to the SIM Data Management Server SDM connected to the SMSC.
- the application sends information (with encryption and checksum) that includes, for example:
- the Auto-Activation application Upon successful sending of the Activation-Request-SMS, the Auto-Activation application exchanges the One-Time IMSI and One-Time Ki with the New IMSI, and New Ki in the hidden file to replace the existing IMSI and Ki value. It then enables the ADN and disables the FDN.
- the SIM Data Management SDM receives the Activation Request, decrypts the information and checks against the checksum for validity. It then looks up from the other network repository the account information in order to deactivate the account.
- the old account information does not carry forward to the new account and the SIM Data Management System SDM issues commands to various systems like, AuC, HLR, a Customer Care CCR, Billing System BS, to deactivate/remove the old account and activate/create the new account in the above systems.
- the SIM Data Management System SDM simply issues commands to various systems to carry the old account information to the new one and replace the Old account information in the HLR, AuC by the
- the SIM Data Management System SDM can send, for example, an optional SMS to confirm the activation to the subscriber. If the SMS is successfully delivered to the handset within a predefined period, the system can record that a successful activation has been carried out.
- a proper exception handling process can be defined by an appropriate workflow, i.e., sending an alarm to the Customer Care to investigate and take corrective measures on the recovery procedure at the backend.
- Figure 1 shows a view of the different steps involved. Arrows referenced with a respective number (1 to 6) indicate the direction of each message.
- the different steps are:
- the SIM copier COP copies the old ICCID, IMSI to the New Card.
- NEW SIM card NCAR is inserted into the phone MOB, logon to the network using the One-time a/c. It then sends out the old and new card information in step 3. Upon successful sending, New IMSI and KI are overwritten to replace the existing One-time account waiting for activation.
- the card NCAR sends out the Activation Request with "Old ICC1D/IMSI, New ICCID/IMSI" information to the backend using this One-Time a/c. 4.
- a dedicated SMSC receives the Activation Request, and passes the request to SIM Data Management SDM.
- SIM Data Management system SDM processes the request, fetches for the corresponding account information from the Old and New ICCID/IMSI, and performs backend replacement/activation process. 6. SIM Data Management system SDM updates various systems, including
