A personal base station (PBS) having wireless video capability. The PBS authenticates a mobile device within range for cellular services, and authenticates the user for a level of service for cable television. The PBS operates in accordance with a dual-purpose subscriber identity system (SIS) includes a subscriber mobile identity component (SMIC) and a video security component (VSC) such that the cellular and television services can be authenticated. Mobile devices incorporating the disclosed innovations, as well as the PBS, can access video content from a cable television provider through any available broadband link, regardless of the mobile device's physical location.

An eUICC is configured with one or more master delete keys each allowing an associated level of profile-deletion access for deleting one or more profiles from the eUICC, and the eUICC is configured to control profile-deletion access in accordance with the one or more delete keys. For instance, one delete key could allow deletion of any or all profiles on the eUICC including any operational profiles (e.g., MNO profiles) and any non-operational profiles. Whereas, another delete key could allow deletion of any or all operational profiles but not any non-operational profiles. Further, a blockchain protocol could be used to securely convey such a delete key from one party to another, helping to establish chain of custody of the delete key.

Profile-deletion control for an embedded universal integrated circuit card

A network includes user information comprising terminal capabilities and readiness information for a terminal device. A network element receives the terminal capabilities and readiness information from the terminal device and communicates the terminal capabilities and readiness information such that it is received and stored. The information is accessed to set media delivery parameters for the terminal device.

Delivery of network services

Systems and methods of accessing a network-based communication service provide for generating a dialing request at a remote control device based on user input. A dialing signal is transmitted toward a mobile communication device based on the request, where the dialing signal instructs the mobile communication device to access the network-based communication service. Communication services can enable a user to use information retrieval at a network server as well as use number dialing at the network server. In one example, the dialing signal is transmitted according to a Bluetooth standard.

One button access to network services from a remote control device

A network element includes at least one input to receive communications from a plurality of terminal devices and a plurality of network elements, a processing unit and logic to classify the communications as a type of user information, and a router to route the communications according to the type of user information. The communication may be routed to at least one of a plurality of subnetworks according to the type of user information.

A system and method of automatically transferring a call between telephones based on the distance between the two telephones is provided. First the proximity of a first telephone to a second telephone is determined. If the proximity is within a predetermined limit or threshold, calls directed to the first telephone are transferred to the second telephone. Security of the transfer may be ensured to prevent fraudulent use of the subscription of either telephone. Procedures are provided which permit any the above-mentioned steps to be performed either at the level of the individual telephones involved in the transfer, or by an element of the network, such as an SC or HLR.

System and method for automatically transferring a call from a first telephone to a designated telephone in close proximity

A service request is received from a terminal device, and payment parameters are received for the user of the terminal device. Information of the service request and payment parameters is communicated to a plurality of service providers, sufficient for the service providers to bid on the service request. Bids are received from at least one of the service providers, and a service provider is selected to fulfill the service request based on the bids.

Methods and systems monitor a period of time associated with using a wireless device when the wireless device is integrated with a vehicle. The methods and systems can include a wireless network that communicates with the wireless device. The methods and systems can further include a computer server communicating with the wireless network that monitors a period of time associated with the wireless device while the wireless device is integrated with the vehicle. Revenue associated with the time period may be used to determine a revenue split between a wireless service provider and at least one other party.
