SIM-less Mobile Devices

PCT Application Number                     : Will update soon
Indian Patent Application Number  : 201841015108
US Patent Application Number         : Will update soon

Problem Statement:
Currently every mobile device will work only with SIM card either CDMA/GSM and there is a limitation with SIM slots in each mobile hence users can choose or use only limited networks in the single mobile device and there is no chance to increase the mobile networks without removing the old SIM card from the mobile device.

Solution:
The objective of this idea is to remove the SIM card concept and make the SIM-Less mobile phones.

How it works:
Each mobile phone is embedded with Mobile device ID which is unique (world-wide) and can’t be replaced or modified in any ways but can be read from the mobile device. The manufacturer generate the mobile device ID at the time of manufacturing the device and will be printed the same on the mobile device and or on manual.
 
Whenever customer wants to choose a network operator, the customer simply provides the mobile device, Device ID and along with the required documents to the operator. Once the network operator approved the connection and then the operator will transfer few data (The data can be operator ID etc… ) into the customer’s mobile phone and also they will link the operator data with the device ID. Once the data transfer is done the network operator can lock their data to avoid manipulating or for any modifications. Once the operator activated the device ID in the operator server then the mobile device starts to receive the signal. Customers can also subscribe for the same network operator depends on the network operators limitation. Customers need to repeat the same steps for all the operators which they are interested. In the same way user can choose N number of network operators without worrying about SIM card slots.

 If customer wants to disconnect the particular network operator then customer should take their registered mobile device to the network operator and then the network operator deactivate the particular mobile device id information from their server and then delete the related operator information from the mobile device without effecting the other operators data. Once the network operator deactivates the mobile device ID from their database then the signal will go off automatically from the mobile device without doing any additional steps by the customer.

Also, as per the information on the link https://whatphone.com.au/esim-plans/esims-and-what-they-mean-for-theaustralian-market/, eSIMs also known as soft SIM are available.. An eSIM is basically an ’embedded’ or ‘electronic’ SIM card which is built into a mobile phone, smartphone or tablet device at the point of manufacture. However only single network can be operated using eSIMs.

Advantages:
1.       Network operators cost can decrease by not purchasing SIM cards from the vendors
2.      Mobile device manufacturer cost can decrease by removing the SIM card slots from the  motherboard.
3.       SIM card space can be utilized for other features
4.       No limitations on choosing network operators
5.       Dynamic allocate and de-allocate the network operators.
6.       Battery life will be increased
7.       Reduce e-waste by not manufacturing  the use and throw SIM cards
8.       Unlike IMEI no one can change the mobile device ID
9.    So easy to track the device

Below picture is for representation purpose only but not the actual design images.

If you observe the below image you can see multiple network signals which represents multiple network operators without any SIM cards

Patent is granted in India nd US Problem Statement: In the current world e-commerce is fast growing business however so many frauds are happening in this sector due to poor secure packages and non-real time package location tracking and delivery proof. My idea will resolve this problem with minimal reusable hardware and efforts. Solution: This idea can resolve the above problem by enabling digital security and real time tracking mechanism to the parcel. How it works: First we need to add small device (as shown in below figure) to the parcel (preferably on top). While preparing the parcel e-commerce operator will transfer the orderID and the Delivery OTP (is dynamically generated) to the device by the operator and at the same time the same delivery OTP will be sent to the customer (who purchased the item), So no one knows the delivery OTP except the device and the customer. Now the operator ties/attach the box with the digital IOT device which includes small keypad...
