Security code(s) of apparatus having at least one SIM

摘要

An apparatus includes one or more processors, one or more memories. The apparatus is portable and it includes or is coupled with at least one subscriber identification module capable of storing one or more security codes which are used in a security code check for controlling usability of the at least one subscriber identification module with the apparatus. The apparatus obtains a request from the at least one subscriber identification module for at least one security code. The apparatus controls providing an automatic response to the request with at least one security code available to the apparatus for enabling or disabling the use of the at least one subscriber identification module. The apparatus transmits a request for a security code to a server wirelessly. The server transmits wirelessly a code stored in the database to the at least one apparatus as a response to the request.

1. A portable apparatus for providing an automatic response to a subscriber identification module (SIM) security check request for an authenticating password or numerical code for enabling or disabling use of the portable apparatus, the portable apparatus comprising:
a processor; and a memory; wherein the portable apparatus: includes and/or is coupled with at least one, and is wirelessly coupled with at least one server, the at least one server configured to store one or more authenticating passwords and/or numerical codes, the one or more authenticating passwords and/or numerical codes: configured to be used in a SIM-initiated security check for enabling or disabling usability of the portable apparatus, and the one or more memories are configured to store instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the portable apparatus to: when a request for an authenticating password or numerical code is received from the SIM during a SIM-initiated security check: (i) automatically wirelessly transmit to the server a request for the server to transmit the SIM-requested authenticating password or numerical code associated with the at least one SIM to the portable apparatus, and (ii) when the server determines that the requested password or numerical code is a stored password or numerical code that is stored as indicated as currently available to the portable apparatus from among the stored one or more passwords and/or numerical codes: (a) wirelessly receive, from the server, the indicated as currently available password or numerical code, and (b) automatically respond to the received request for the authenticating password or numerical code from the SIM with the received server-transmitted currently available password or numerical code.
