Samsung patents fix for eSIM delays when switching phones
Samsung has filed a patent for a method to handle delays when moving a digital SIM card (eUICC) profile from one phone to another. The system checks with a secondary server to confirm when the transfer is actually finished, allowing the phone to resume the process if the main server is slow.
In the filing’s own words
The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. For example, the present disclosure provides a method and a device for re-installing a profile when changing an eUICC terminal.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: identifying information requesting transfer of a profile to another terminal; transmitting, to a profile server, a device change request message regarding the profile; in case that processing of a device change request regarding the profile is delayed, receiving, from the profile server, a device change request response message comprising information on a subscription mediation server capable of confirming a device change processing result regarding the profile; receiving, from the subscription mediation server, a message comprising information associated with completion of the processing of the device change request regarding the profile; and resuming a device change processing process regarding the profile with the profile server.
