Demand-based provisioning for a mobile communication device
First Claim
1. A system for updating service information in a mobile communication device, comprising:
- a provisioning server operable to receive a provisioning update request from the mobile communication device and in response to the provisioning update request transmit a service update data message to the mobile communication device;
the service update data message including service information for the mobile communication device that is received by the provisioning server from at least one of a plurality of service providers;
wherein the mobile communication device is operable to detect a triggering event and transmit the provisioning update request to the provisioning server in response to the triggering event;
the triggering event being a wireless communication failure between the mobile communication device and the provisioning server or a communication failure between the mobile communication device and at least one of the service providers;
wherein the wireless communication failure and the communication failure are disruptions in communication other than the mobile communication device roaming between base stations.

8. In a system for providing demand-based provisioning to a mobile communication device including a provisioning server operable to receive a provisioning update request from the mobile communication device and in response to the provisioning update request transmit a service update packet to the mobile communication device, with the service update packet including service information for the mobile communication device that is received by the provisioning server from at least one of a plurality of service providers, the mobile communication device comprising:
-
a receiver operable to receive the service update packet from the provisioning server; a transmitter operable to transmit the provisioning update request to the provisioning server; and means for detecting a triggering event and generating the provisioning update request in response to a wireless communication failure between the mobile communication device and the provisioning server or a communication failure between the mobile communication device and at least one of the service providers; wherein the wireless communication failure and the communication failure are disruptions in communication other than the mobile communication device roaming between base stations. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)
