Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. The disclosure provides a method and an apparatus for efficient event management using a secure element and a bundle installed therein.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
transmitting, to a smart secure platform discovery service (SSPDS), by a local bundle assistant (LBA) of the terminal, a request for a push based event notification;
receiving, from the SSPDS, an indication indicating whether the SSPDS accepts the request; and
in case that the indication indicates that the SSPDS accepts the request, receiving, from the SSPDS, a notification of an SSPDS event registration based on an SSPDS event being registered for a smart secure platform (SSP) of the terminal being registered.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving, from the SSPDS, the SSPDS event based on the notification of the SSPDS event registration after the SSP of the terminal is authenticated,
wherein the SSPDS event is registered in the SSPDS by a secondary platform bundle manager.

3. The method of claim 1 ,
wherein the LBA is configured with an SSPDS address,
wherein the SSPDS address is configured per a family identifier or a custodian identifier, and
wherein a primary platform identifier (PPID) is displayed with the SSPDS address configured in the LBA.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
transmitting, to the SSPDS, by the LBA, a first message for checking the SSPDS event registered for the SSP of the terminal;
receiving, from the SSPDS, a second message including information on whether the SSPDS event is registered for the SSP of the terminal; and
receiving, from the SSPDS, the SSPDS event based on the second message after the SSP of the terminal is authenticated.

5. The method of claim 4 ,
wherein the first message includes an identifier associated with the SSP of the terminal,
wherein the identifier is generated based on a primary platform identifier (PPID) of the terminal and a server address,
wherein the identifier is used for discovering the SSPDS event registered in the SSPDS, and
wherein a transmission of the first message and a reception of the second message are performed by the LBA without mutual authentication between the terminal and the SSPDS.

6. A method performed by a smart secure platform discovery service (SSPDS) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving, a local bundle assistant (LBA) of a terminal, a request for a push based event notification;
determining whether to accept the request for the push based event notification;
transmitting, to the LBA of the terminal, an indication indicating whether the SSPDS accepts the request;
registering an SSPDS event for a smart secure platform (SSP) of the terminal; and
in case that the SSPDS accepts the request, transmitting, to the LBA of the terminal, a notification of the SSPDS event registration.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:
transmitting, to the LBA of the terminal, the SSPDS event based on the notification of the SSPDS event registration after the SSP of the terminal is authenticated,
wherein the SSPDS event is registered in the SSPDS by a secondary platform bundle manager.

8. The method of claim 6 ,
wherein the LBA is configured with an SSPDS address,
wherein the SSPDS address is configured per a family identifier or a custodian identifier, and
wherein a primary platform identifier (PPID) is displayed with the SSPDS address configured in the LBA.

9. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:
registering at least one SSPDS event for the SSP of the terminal;
receiving, from the LBA of the terminal, a first message for checking the SSPDS event registered for the SSP of the terminal;
transmitting, to the LBA of the terminal, a second message including information on whether the SSPDS event is registered for the SSP of the terminal; and
transmitting, to the LBA of the terminal, the at least one SSPDS event based on the second message after authenticating the SSP of the terminal.

10. The method of claim 9 ,
wherein the first message includes an identifier associated with the SSP of the terminal,
wherein the identifier is generated based on a primary platform identifier (PPID) of the terminal and a server address,
wherein the identifier is used for discovering the SSPDS event registered in the SSPDS, and
wherein a transmission of the first message and a reception of the second message are performed by the LBA without mutual authentication between the terminal and the SSPDS.

11. A terminal in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:
a transceiver; and
a controller configured to:
transmit, to a smart secure platform discovery service (SSPDS), by a local bundle assistant (LBA) of the terminal, a request for a push based event notification,
receive, from the SSPDS, an indication indicating whether the SSPDS accepts the request, and
in case that the indication indicates that the SSPDS accepts the request, receive, from the SSPDS, a notification of an SSPDS event registration based on an SSPDS event being registered for a smart secure platform (SSP) of the terminal being registered.

12. The terminal of claim 11 ,
wherein the controller is configured to receive, from the SSPDS, the SSPDS event based on the notification of the SSPDS event registration after the SSP of the terminal is authenticated, and
wherein the SSPDS event is registered in the SSPDS by a secondary platform bundle manager.

13. The terminal of claim 11 ,
wherein the LBA is configured with an SSPDS address,
wherein the SSPDS address is configured per a family identifier or a custodian identifier, and
wherein a primary platform identifier (PPID) is displayed with the SSPDS address configured in the LBA.

14. The terminal of claim 11 , wherein the controller is configured to:
transmit, to the SSPDS, by the LBA, a first message for checking the SSPDS event registered for the SSP of the terminal;
receive, from the SSPDS, a second message including information on whether the SSPDS event is registered for the SSP of the terminal; and
receive, from the SSPDS, the SSPDS event based on the second message after the SSP of the terminal is authenticated.

15. The terminal of claim 14 ,
wherein the first message includes an identifier associated with the SSP of the terminal,
wherein the identifier is generated based on a primary platform identifier (PPID) of the terminal and a server address,
wherein the identifier is used for discovering the SSPDS event registered in the SSPDS, and
wherein a transmission of the first message and a reception of the second message are performed by the LBA without mutual authentication between the terminal and the SSPDS.

16. A smart secure platform discovery service (SSPDS) in a wireless communication system, the SSPDS comprising:
a transceiver; and
a controller configured to:
receive, a local bundle assistant (LBA) of a terminal, a request for a push based event notification,
determine whether to accept the request for the push based event notification,
transmit, to the LBA of the terminal, an indication indicating whether the SSPDS accepts the request,
register an SSPDS event for a smart secure platform (SSP) of the terminal, and
in case that the SSPDS accepts the request, transmit, to the LBA of the terminal, a notification of the SSPDS event registration.

17. The SSPDS of claim 16 ,
wherein the controller is configured to transmit, to the LBA of the terminal, the SSPDS event based on the notification of the SSPDS event registration after the SSP of the terminal is authenticated, and
wherein the SSPDS event is registered in the SSPDS by a se
