Method and system for mapping provisioning information of different communications networks
First Claim
1. A wireless device capable of communicating with multiple network types, comprising:
- a transceiver configured to communicate with any of a plurality of network types over a wireless media, each of the plurality of network types having a different air interface protocol; and
a non-volatile memory configured to store respective default provisioning data for more than one of the plurality of network types.

Abstract
A wireless communications device is configurable to communicate with either one of two networks over a wireless medium, each of the two networks having a different air interface protocol. Additionally, the wireless device includes stored provisioning information for a set of networks of a first type and can map this first provisioning information into a second format for use with networks of a second type. The device also includes a non-volatile memory for storing default provisioning information so that some information remains available regardless of what is erased from the memory. The default provisioning information is enough to establish a connection over one of the available networks and allow reconstruction of a provisioning list.

20. A method for generating a provisioning list for a wireless device capable of communicating with multiple network types and having a transceiver configured to communicate with either one of two network types over a wireless medium, each of the two networks having a different air interface protocol, the method comprising:
-
retrieving respective default provisioning information for a first of the network types;
retrieving first provisioning information for a second of the two network types;
converting the first provisioning information into corresponding provisioning information for the second of the network types; and
building the provisioning list using the default provisioning information and the corresponding provisioning information. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24)

25. A computer readable storage medium containing a set of instructions for generating a provisioning list for a wireless device capable of communicating with multiple network types and having a transceiver configured to communicate with either one of two network types over a wireless medium, each of the two networks having a different air interface protocol, said instructions comprising:
-
a routine to retrieve respective default provisioning information for a first of the network types;
a routine to retrieve first provisioning information for a second of the two network types;
a routine to convert the first provisioning information into corresponding provisioning information for the second of the network types; and
a routine to build the provisioning list using the default provisioning information and the corresponding provisioning information.
