Network-based device locking management
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a serving device, the serving device comprising;
a database, the database including a data entry corresponding to an account holder associated with a telecommunications service, the data entry being associated with additional data identifying one or more attributes relating to at least one of a mobile device operated by the account holder or an account of the account holder;
one or more processors;
one or more instructions executable by the one or more processors to perform operations comprising;
accessing one or more predetermined rules in a set of predetermined rules, individual ones of the predetermined rules being mapped to the mobile device and indicating when the mobile device may be unlocked;
accessing, via the database, the additional data identifying the one or more attributes;
comparing the additional data identifying the one or more attributes to the set of predetermined rules;
determining that the additional data identifying the one or more attributes satisfies at least one of the one or more predetermined rules in the set of predetermined rules; and
sending an instruction to the mobile device; and
an application executable by the mobile device, the application including one or more instructions to perform operations comprising;
receiving the instruction from the serving device;
executing the instruction to modify at least one of;
a relationship between the mobile device and a subscriber identity module (SIM) card associated with the mobile device;
ora profile of the SIM card; and
effectuating a change from a locked state to an unlocked state.

Abstract
Network-based device management is described. In an example, a server may receive, from a device, a request to change from a first, locked state to a second state. The server may access data associated with at least one of the device or an account associated with the device, and may compare the data with one or more predetermined rules. Satisfaction of the one or more predetermined rules may be necessary to effectuate a change from the first, locked state to the second state. The server may determine that the data satisfies the one or more predetermined rules and the server may send, to the device, an instruction to enable the device to change from the first, locked state to the second state. The instruction may direct an application on the device to effectuate a change to the subscriber identity module (SIM) card associated with the device.

8. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
receiving, from a device, a request to change from a first state to a second state, the first state corresponding to a locked state; accessing data associated with at least one of the device or an account associated with the device; comparing the data with one or more predetermined rules, individual ones of the predetermined rules being mapped to the device, satisfaction of at least one of the one or more predetermined rules being necessary to change from the first state to the second state; determining that the data satisfies at least one of the one or more predetermined rules; and sending, to the device, an instruction to enable the device to change from the first state to the second state, the instruction directing an application on the device to effectuate a change to a subscriber identity module (SIM) card associated with the device. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, perform operations comprising:
-
receiving, from a device, a request to change from a first state to a second state; accessing, via a database, data associated with an account associated with the device; comparing the data with one or more predetermined rules, satisfaction of at least one of the one or more predetermined rules being necessary to change from the first state to the second state; determining that the data satisfies at least one of the one or more predetermined rules; and sending, to the device, an instruction to enable the device to change from the first state to the second state, the instruction directing an application on the device to effectuate a change to a subscriber identity module (SIM) card associated with the device; and based at least in part on the device effectuating the change to the SIM card, granting an account associated with the device, access to at least one previously locked feature of a telecommunications service. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
