Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for the safe storage of information, more particularly to information contained in a SIM card (Subscriber Identity Module card) for mobile telephony.
- SIM card Subscriber Identity Module card
- a SIM card for mobile telephony includes a processor and a memory for storing diverse information and for performing certain calculations and controlling certain functions.
- the identity of the subscriber IMSI International Mobile Subscriber Identity
- IMSI International Mobile Subscriber Identity
- a SIM card memory also contains the telephone book of the user, i.e. telephone numbers stored by the user.
- the SIM card When a mobile telephone is lost, the SIM card is also lost, since it is normally placed in the mobile telephone. The person losing his/her telephone will thereby, of course, also lose the information stored in the SIM-card memory, including the telephone book.
- the present invention satisfies this desideratum.
- the present invention relates to a method for the safe storage of information that has been stored in a so-called SIM card for mobile telephony, particularly a so-called telephone book containing information relating to telephone numbers and their owners, said telephone book being stored in a memory belonging to the SIM card and being created by the owner of said card.
- the present invention is characterised in that the information content' of the telephone book is caused to be transferred to a computer or corresponding device for safe storage at certain predetermined time intervals or subsequent to given events, via a mobile telephone system; and that said computer is caused to transfer said information content to a new SIM card that replaces the first-mentioned SIM card in response to a request signal and via the mobile telephone system.
- Figure 1 is a diagram that illustrates the invention.
- Reference numeral 1 identifies a mobile telephone
- reference numeral 2 identifies a SIM card
- reference numeral 3 identifies a base station belonging to a network operator
- reference numeral 4 identifies the network operator computer for telephone traffic
- reference numeral 5 identifies a database belonging to the computer 4.
- Reference numeral 6 identifies an external computer and its associated database 7.
- the inventive method relates to the safe storage of information contained in a so called SIM card for mobile telephony, particularly a so called telephone book that contains information relating to telephone numbers and their owners, said telephone book being stored in a memory belonging to the SIM card and having been created by the owner of the SIM card.
- the SIM card is caused to transfer the information content of the telephone book to the affiliated memory of a computer at predetermined time intervals for safe storage of said information, via a mobile telephone system.
- the computer is caused to transfer said information content to a new SIM card replacement in response to a request, via a mobile telephone system.
- This method thus enables the telephone book in the SIM card to be stored securely also at another location from which the contents of the telephone book can be transferred to another SIM card.
- the customer is able to obtain a new telephone and a new SIM card and then transfer to the new SIM card the telephone book stored in said other location.
- the owner is able to quickly ring a desired telephone number without first needing to find all relevant telephone numbers and insert these numbers into the new SIM card.
- This facility is also available to the network operator in addition to the user.
- the computer 4 belongs to the network operator that issued the first-mentioned SIM card.
- the computer 6 belongs to an external operator.
- the telephone book is tied in the computer to the IMSI of the SIM card concerned. This is preferred because IMSI is unique to each SIM card the world over. By tying the stored telephone book to the IMSI of the SIM card, it is possible to establish which person has a subscription with a SIM card that carries a given MSI.
- the owner of the card can contact the operator or an authorised store or shop and there give his name and mobile telephone number and ask to be issued with a new SIM card, and then, of course, with a new IMSI.
- the operator can therewith enter this data into the computer 4, 6, wherewith the computer checks whether or not the data, or information, entered is correct and also which IMSI belonged to the lost SIM card.
- the computer 4 of the operator can be instructed, via the telephone network, to send the telephone book to the new SIM card, via the mobile telephone network, and store said telephone book in the database of the computer 4 together with the IMSI of the new SIM card.
- the telephone book is then no longer tied to the IMSI of the lost SIM card. Transfer of the telephone book takes place in response to a call to a special number that leads to the operator from a telephone containing the new SIM card.
- Corresponding procedure can be effected with an external computer 6. In this case, it is beneficial when the external computer 6 co-acts with the network operator computer, in respect of obtaining subscription information and information that a new SIM card has replaced a lost SIM card.
- security against an unauthorised person having access to a telephone book is further enhanced by not transferring said information content to a new SIM card from said server or from said network operator computer until a personal code belonging to the owner of the old SIM card has been entered into the computer 4; 6.
- the telephone book can be transferred from a mobile telephone to said computer in different ways.
- the owner may call a special telephone number, whereafter the computer asks for the telephone book stored in the SIM card of the calling telephone.
- the network operator computer will automatically call up the mobile telephone and request the a transfer of the telephone book, this request being made at given time intervals or subsequent to given events. This time interval may be once a week, for instance. With regard to events, a request for the telephone book may be sent after each one-hundred calls made on the mobile telephone.
