Radio communications device, universal integrated circuit card and related method and communications device

摘要

The present invention provides for a UICC interface and related interfacing method, for use in a mobile radio communications device and including an element enabling the UICC to provide an indication that at least one service requiring location data is present in the UICC, an element for UICC to receive notification that a source of location data is available, an element for allowing the UICC to initiate transfer of location data thereto, an element for the actual transfer of the location data to the UICC, and an element 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.

主权项

1. A mobile radio communications device comprising:
a source of geographical location data; a notifier configured to notify a universal integrated circuit card (UICC) that a source of geographical location data is present; a receiver configured to receive, from the UICC, a signal indicating that said UICC requires geographical location data; a retriever configured to retrieve geographical location data from said source of geographical location data, and configured to generate a signal carrying the retrieved geographical location data, in response to receipt of said signal indicating that said UICC requires geographical location data, the signal carrying the retrieved geographical location data comprising an envelope command, the envelope command comprising one or more of a data object carrying the geographical location data and a tag indicating the envelope command carries the geographical location data; and a transmitter for sending the generated signal carrying the retrieved geographical location data to the UICC.
