Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method and apparatus for setting profiles are provided. The profile setting method includes receiving, from a first terminal, a profile transfer request message that requests transfer of a first profile or portion thereof from a first secure element to a second secure element; configuring a second profile using the first profile or portion thereof; and sending, to a second terminal, the configured second profile.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for a profile server, the method comprising: receiving, from a first terminal, a first message that requests transfer of a portion or a whole of a first profile from a first module in the first terminal to a second module in a second terminal; generating a second profile using the portion or the whole of the first profile; and transmitting, to the second terminal, the generated second profile. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving of the first message comprises: receiving, from the first terminal, the portion or the whole of the first profile. 3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: transmitting, to the first terminal, a second message requesting the portion or the whole of the first profile; and receiving, from the first terminal, the portion or the whole of the first profile. 4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: transmitting, if the second profile is successfully installed in the second module, a third message requesting update of authentication key information associated with the second profile to an authentication center (AuC). 5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising: transmitting, to the first terminal, a fourth message that requests a deletion of the first profile if the authentication key information is updated successfully. 6. A profile server, comprising: a transceiver; and a controller configured to: control the transceiver to receive, from a first terminal, a first message that requests transfer of a portion or a whole of a first profile from a first module in the first terminal to a second module in a second terminal, and generate a second profile using the portion or the whole of the first profile, and control the transceiver to transmit to the second terminal, the generated second profile. 7. The profile server of claim 6 , wherein the controller is further configured to control the transceiver to receive, from the first terminal, the portion or the whole of the first profile. 8. The profile server of claim 6 , wherein the controller is further configured to control the transceiver to transmit, to the first terminal, a second message requesting the portion or the whole of the first profile, and receive, from the first terminal, the portion or the whole of the first profile. 9. The profile server of claim 6 , wherein the controller is further configured to control the transceiver to transmit, if the second profile is successfully installed in the second module, a third message requesting update of authentication key information associated with the second profile to an authentication center (AuC). 10. The profile server of claim 9 , wherein the controller is further configured to control the transceiver to transmit, to the first terminal, a forth message that requests a deletion of the first profile if the authentication key information is updated successfully.
