Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides for a UICC interface and related interfacing method, for use in a mobile radio communications device and including an element enabling the UICC to provide an indication that at least one service requiring location data is present in the UICC, an element for UICC to receive notification that a source of location data is available, an element for allowing the UICC to initiate transfer of location data thereto, an element for the actual transfer of the location data to the UICC, and an element enabling the UICC to terminate the transfer of the location data, and wherein the location data can be provided from a GPS module or remotely in a contact-less manner.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A universal integrated circuit card (UICC) comprising: a receiver for receiving notification that a source of geographical location data is available in a mobile radio communications device by modifying at least one bit of a terminal profile; a generator for generating, when said terminal profile has indicated that the source of geographical location data is present, a signal indicating that said UICC requires geographical location data; and a tran…
