Mobile communication device provisioning and management
First Claim
1. A processor-implemented method of mobile communication device provisioning and management, comprising:
- receiving, by a provisioning server, at least one provisioning request message from one or more mobile communication mobile devices, the at least one provisioning request message from each of the one or more mobile communication devices containing a unique identifier of the corresponding mobile communication device and a user identifier associated with a user of the corresponding mobile communication device;
identifying, by the provisioning server, provisioning information for each of the one or more mobile communication devices based on a combination of a stored user role and a stored unique identifier that correspond to the received unique identifier and the received user identifier;
provisioning, by the provisioning server, the one or more mobile communication devices at the beginning of a first time period with a service associated with the stored user role based on the identified provisioning information;
tracking, by the provisioning server, usage of the service during the duration of the first time period;
de-provisioning, by the provisioning server, the one or more mobile communication devices at the end of the first time period; and
re-provisioning, by the provisioning server, the one or more mobile communication devices at the beginning of a second time period with a different service associated with a different user role.

Abstract
A mobile communication device provisioning and management system is provided. The system comprises a computer system and an application, that when executed on the computer system, receives instructions for provisioning a set of mobile communication devices, the instructions comprising a range of unique identifiers and user roles associated with the set. The system also receives a first message from a first mobile communication device, the first message containing a request for provisioning, a first unique identifier, a first user role, and a first user identifier. The system also matches the first unique identifier embedded in the first message with a unique identifier contained in the instructions. The system also matches the user role received in the first message with a user role specified in the instructions and sends a second message to the first mobile communication device, the second message containing provisioning information. The system also stores a record associating the first unique identifier, the first user role, and the first user identifier.
