APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR IMPLEMENTING A SYSTEM-ON-CHIP WITH INTEGRATED REPROGRAMMABLE CELLULAR NETWORK CONNECTIVITY

摘要

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are provided for configuring a “SIM-less” System-on-Chip (S2oC) with integrated reprogrammable cellular network connectivity. Digitally issued Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) cards may be digitally issued by a remote server and downloaded and managed by the S2oC. A virtual SIM card container may be packaged in the S2oC and hosts an identity manager used by a plurality of applications residing in the multi-core processor of the S2oC. A virtual modem with a custom communication protocol allows the multi-core processor applications to exchange data with the virtual SIM card container.

主权项

1. An apparatus comprising:
a multi-core processor; a software-based embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card (eUICC); and one or more memories storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the multi-core processor, configure the apparatus to communicate with a plurality of cellular networks using a cellular modem and one or more virtual subscriber identity module (SIM) cards stored in the software-based eUICC.
