1. A machine-to-machine (“
- M2M”
) device comprising;
a device-side client implemented on the M2M device;
a subscriber identification module (“
SIM”
) card installed in the M2M device and comprising at least one processor; and
an M2M SIM client implemented on the SIM card and that includes executable instructions configured to direct the at least one processor to;
provide a platform messaging interface through which the M2M device communicates with an M2M platform subsystem by way of a wireless network,provide a device-side interface through which the device-side client implemented on the M2M device interfaces with the M2M SIM client, andprovide a set of one or more M2M services to the M2M device for managing a plurality of in-field sensor devices communicatively coupled to, and separate from, the M2M device, the set of one or more M2M services comprising one or more M2M platform services accessible from the M2M platform subsystem,whereinthe providing of the one or more M2M platform services comprises sending, through the platform messaging interface and by way of the wireless network, one or more messages to the M2M platform subsystem to access the one or more M2M platform services from the M2M platform subsystem and receiving, through the platform messaging interface and by way of the wireless network, one or more additional messages from the M2M platform subsystem and associated with the one or more M2M platform services, andthe M2M device is configured to function as a gateway to the M2M platform subsystem for the plurality of in-field sensor devices.

Abstract
Exemplary subscriber identification module (“SIM”) based machine-to-machine (“M2M”) client systems, methods, and apparatuses are described herein. An exemplary M2M device includes an M2M SIM client implemented on a SIM card installed in the M2M device. The M2M SIM client provides a platform messaging interface through which the M2M device communicates with an M2M platform, provides a device-side interface through which the M2M device interfaces with the M2M SIM client, and provides a set of one or more M2M services to the M2M device. The set of M2M services may include one or more of the exemplary M2M services described herein. Corresponding systems, methods, and apparatuses are also described.
