Abstract:
Methods, systems, and computer-readable medium for providing telecommunications carrier configuration at activation of a mobile device. In one implementation, a method is provided. The method includes receiving a request for activation of a mobile device, and during activation of the mobile device, determining for the mobile device a telecommunications carrier from a number of telecommunications carriers, and identifying information associated with the determined telecommunications carrier for configuring the mobile device
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for secure software installation to boot a device authorized by a ticket are described herein. A ticket request including a device identifier of the device is sent for the ticket which includes attributes for one or more components to boot the device into an operating state. The ticket is cryptographically validated to match the one or more components with corresponding attributes included in the ticket. If successfully matched, the one or more components are executed to boot the device.

Abstract:
A machine implemented method of activating a mobile device, the method comprising: storing in the mobile device a signed activation record comprising the device data and a SIM policy data describing a set of Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) cards that may be used with the mobile device; evaluating whether an inserted SIM card belongs to the set of SIM cards that may be used with the mobile device; and only registering the device with a communications network using the inse5rted SIM card if the evaluation is successful.
Abstract:
According to one aspect, a multifunctional computing device having a wireless communications processor (e.g., cellular processor) and an application processor (e.g., general-purpose processor such as a CPU) share a storage device that is associated with or attached to the application processor. An example of such a multifunctional computing device may be a Smartphone device having a cellular phone and handheld computer functionalities. There is no specific storage device directly associated with or attached to the wireless communications processor (hereinafter simply referred to as a wireless processor). Instead, the wireless processor communicates with the application processor via a high speed communications link, such as a USB link, to access code and data stored in the storage device (e.g., flash memory device) associated with the application processor.
Abstract:
A machine implemented method of preparing a mobile device for use in a mobile communication network, the method comprising: receiving in a server a request to prepare a mobile device for use with a mobile communication network, the mobile device usable with the mobile communication network and having inserted therein a subscriber identity module (SIM) card usable with the mobile communication network, the request comprising: a device data that uniquely identifies the mobile device for which the request was received, and a SIM card data that uniquely identifies a service provider and a subscriber having an account with the service provider to use the mobile communication network;
generating an activation ticket in the server responsive to receiving the request, the activation ticket having securely stored thereon the device data and the SIM card data in accordance with an activation ticket format usable in the mobile device; and transmitting the activation ticket from the server to the mobile device for which the request was received.
