Inline eSIM Generation for Secure, Vendor-Free Profile Delivery
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current eSIM profile generation methods rely on third-party vendors, leading to inefficiencies, high costs, and compliance challenges due to manual processes, lengthy wait times, and the need to establish physical presence in multiple countries to comply with data security regulations.
Innovation Solution
A software solution within a wireless service provider's secure private network allows for intuitive eSIM profile creation and generation, using an online profile creation wizard and eSIM generation tool to produce eSIM profiles in real-time, without external data transmission, ensuring secure and efficient production.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If third-party SIM vendors are used to generate eSIM profiles, then eSIM profile generation can be outsourced, but wait times increase to one or more months and costs increase due to manual processes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the eSIM profile generation capability from third-party vendors and brings it directly into the wireless service provider's secure private network. This allows the WSP to generate eSIM profiles independently using automated software tools, eliminating the outsourcing dependency that caused monthly wait times.
Solution Approach 2:
The wireless service provider implements self-service capability by deploying automated eSIM profile generation software within their own network infrastructure. The system can automatically generate, validate, and deliver eSIM profiles without external vendor intervention, reducing wait time from months to minutes.
2Ease of manufacture
If third-party SIM vendors are used, then eSIM profile creation can be delegated, but rework costs increase due to human error in manual processes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical processes with automated software-based generation. The eSIM profile generation is performed by computer systems using validated templates and algorithms, eliminating human error in data entry, formatting, and profile creation, thereby reducing costly rework.
3Adaptability or versatility
If incumbent SIM vendors are used, then eSIM profiles can be obtained through existing channels, but compliance with data security regulations becomes difficult and costly requiring local presence in each country
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal eSIM profile generation system that can operate from a single centralized location within the WSP's secure private network. The automated software can generate profiles compliant with various international regulations without requiring physical presence in each country, replacing the need for multiple local operations with one multi-functional system.
Data Source
AI summary
eSIM generation software creates eSIMs in real-time within a WSP secure private network to route via computer components inside or outside of the secure private network to download eSIMs to wireless subscriber devices. eSIM generation software is integrated to eSIM profile creation tool to automatically select an eSIM profile template. Based on selected eSIM Profile template, an eSIM profile may be generated and stored on a case-by-case basis instead of generating all of a large quantity, or batch, and then storing all of the batch. Transport of highly guarded security information, like master keys, outside of the secure private network does not occur.
