发明名称 System and method for providing limited communication services to unprovisioned mobile communication devices
摘要 A method of managing a pre-configuration mode for a mobile communication device supporting services. The method comprises responsive to the mobile communication device is not being provisioned for wireless communications service, not being assigned to any user account, and not being flagged as in a pre-configuration mode, assigning a temporary identifier corresponding to a service profile to the mobile communication device selected from a plurality of temporary identifiers, wherein a limited set of services is assigned to the service profile, wherein each service profile from a plurality of service profiles defines a specific limited set of services from a plurality of sets of limited services, wherein limited services are less services than services to fully provisioned mobile communication devices. The method further comprises monitoring time elapsed from the assignment of the temporary identifier, and transmitting an advertisement to the mobile communication device in response to the device invoking a service.

主权项 1. A method of managing a pre-configuration mode for a mobile communication device supporting services, comprising: comparing, by a server coupled to a non-transitory memory of a data store, signal characteristics of a mobile communication device received during registration of the mobile communication device with a base transceiver station with records of signal characteristics in the data store; responsive to the mobile communication device not being provisioned for wireless communications service, not being assigned to any user account, and not being flagged as in a pre-configuration mode, assigning, by the server, a temporary identifier corresponding to a service profile to the mobile communication device selected from a plurality of temporary identifiers, wherein a limited set of services is assigned to the service profile, wherein each service profile from a plurality of service profiles defines a specific limited set of services from a plurality of sets of limited services, and wherein the limited set of services comprises less services than services to fully provisioned mobile communication devices and includes services other than emergency communication services; monitoring, by the server, time elapse from the assignment of the temporary identifier; and responsive to a predefined period of time elapsing since the assignment of the temporary identifier and responsive to the mobile communication device not being provisioned, terminating, via the server, the limited set of services defined in the service profile by reducing one service at a time from the limited set of services after each predefined period of time elapses.
