eSIM Profile iSSP APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR HANDLING eSIM PROFILES FOR AN iSSP DEVICE

摘要

The present disclosure relates to a communication technique and a system for integrating a 5G communication system with IoT technology to support a higher data rate after a 4G system. This disclosure is based on 5G communication technology and IoT-related technologies, such as intelligent services (e.g., smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart cars or connected cars, healthcare, digital education, retail, security and safety related services, etc.) ). The present disclosure detects whether input information for eSIM Profile download is performed by a terminal to which iSSP is applied, determines whether the terminal supports it, and if the conditions are met, the terminal collects eSIM bundles information of iSSP, and the terminal among collected eSIM bundles The step of selecting or user selecting the eSIM bundle to use by referring to the specified conditions. If there is no bundle to use or if it is determined that it will not be used among existing eSIM bundles, the eSIM bundle is generated or provided through communication between the terminal itself or the terminal and the server. A method for providing communication service by installing eSIM Profile in the terminal where iSSP is applied through the steps of giving, preparing, downloading and installing the eSIM Profile Package based on the eSIM Bundle information based on the design structure defined in GSMA. And devices.
