    Abstract: Techniques for providing optimized digital information including receiving a request for authorization to access a subset of order information that corresponds to a transaction. A account server can generate a first authorization token based at least in part on the request for authorization. The account server can transmit at least the first authorization token to the application of the user device. The account server can receive a verification request comprising a second authorization token. The account server can verify whether the first authorization token matches the second authorization token. In accordance with a determination that the first authorization token matches the second authorization token, the account server can transmit, to the service provider, a verification response that instructs the service provider to provide the subset of the order information that corresponds to the transaction to the application of the user device.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for activating a purchased or previously deployed device by a subscriber. In one embodiment, activation includes authenticating the device to a service provider or carrier, and providing the device with data necessary for enabling the service to the device. In one variant, a user device is activated at a retail store, with the assistance of a carrier representative. In another variant, user equipment is activated via a communications network without the assistance of a representative. In yet another variant, the user equipment is activated via the Internet without the assistance of a representative. The provision of access data includes pre-assigning eSIM from a population of unassigned eSIMs to certain devices for various carrier networks. Alternatively, the eSIM may be assigned on an as-needed basis. Unassigned and/or unused eSIMs can be released (or sold back to the vendor) and/or reused. Solutions for eSIM backup and restoration are also described.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for managing multiple user access control entities or clients. For example, in one embodiment, a “wallet” of electronic subscriber identity modules (eSIMs) may be stored and used at a user device and/or distributed to other devices for use thereon. In another embodiment, a networked server may store and distribute eSIM to a plurality of user devices in communication therewith. A database of available eSIM is maintained at the wallet entity and/or at the network which enables request for a particular eSIM to be processed and various rules for the distribution thereof to be implemented. Security precautions are implemented to protect both user and network carrier specific data as the data is transmitted between networked entities. Solutions for eSIM backup and restoration are also described.

    Abstract: A pool of devices is initially associated under a single product type identifier, for example, a single stock keeping unit (SKU) identifier. Each device is associated with a secure element (SE), for example, an embedded universal integrated circuit card (eUICC). A wireless telecommunications carrier purchases a subset of the devices from the owner of the pool of devices. A policy management server receives a shipment record and associates the subset of devices with a product identifier and with a carrier-specific activation policy. The policy management server sends an electronic subscriber identity module (eSIM) reservation request to a policy evaluation server, which contacts an eSIM delivery server associated with the purchasing carrier. The eSIM delivery server reserves eSIMs for the purchased devices. When an end user buys one of the devices from the subset, the purchased device is provisioned by the eSIM delivery server with the eSIM reserved for that device.

    Abstract: If a user loses an electronic device that has the capability to conduct financial transactions, the user may report that the electronic device is lost using a lost-device software application to a management electronic device associated with a provider of the electronic device. In response to receiving this information, a disabling command is sent to a payment network associated with the financial account of the user to temporarily disable use of the electronic device to conduct the financial transactions. In particular, the electronic device may include a secure element that stores a payment applet for a financial account, and the disabling command may disable a mapping from a virtual identifier for the financial account to a financial primary account number. Subsequently, if the user finds the electronic device, the user may re-enable the capability (and, thus, the mapping) by providing authentication information to the electronic device.

    Abstract translation: 如果用户丢失了具有进行金融交易能力的电子设备,则用户可以使用丢失的设备软件应用向与电子设备的提供商相关联的管理电子设备报告电子设备丢失。 响应于接收到该信息,禁用命令被发送到与用户的财务帐户相关联的支付网络,以暂时禁止使用电子设备进行金融交易。 特别地,电子设备可以包括存储用于金融帐户的支付小应用程序的安全元件,并且禁用命令可以禁用从财务帐户的虚拟标识符到财务主帐号的映射。 随后,如果用户发现电子设备,则用户可以通过向电子设备提供认证信息来重新启用能力(并且因此映射)。
