A METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CREATING MULTI MOBILEPHONE ENVIRONMENTS AND NUMBERS ON A SINGLE HANDSET WITH SINGLE SIM-CARD

摘要

A method of creating a second virtual environment in a mobile device (such as a mobile phone) with a single sim-card and a main environment, according to which a second phone environment is created, so as to eliminate the need to use two physical phones. A second phone number is added on the same smart phone module and the second environment is associated with new user accounts, such as emails and social application; Then the second added phone number is associated with text messaging accounts such as SMS's and WhatsApp. The method uses client software, a data base server, a Direct Inward Dialing (DID) provider, an application server and storage server. The DID provider provides the DID numbers and a set of APPs which communicates with the data base server. The server side contains sets of tables with end users information and transactions such as user phone number, email, name, location of user's files in the storage, user configurations such as geolocation settings and scheduler. The Application server executes back-end user programs and the storage server is the user back-ups and contains user files, such as pictures, contacts, messages etc. The method performs hardware virtualization as a system that is run as third-party software that emulates and shares hardware resources with the main Operating System (OS) and defines a set of required permissions which can be selected manually by developers during tests on different devices. The proposed hardware virtualization runs a guest operation system and clones applications inside it which are run as Intents in the host OS.
