Application: Geographic location-based sim switching (Patent ID: US20240031913A1)
The patent filed by NXP Semiconductors NV relates to a method for switching SIM cards in a mobile telecommunications device based on geographic location. The method involves identifying the device's location and using the first SIM to connect to a network in one location and the second SIM to connect to a different network in another location based on signal strength criteria. The geographic location can be determined using various methods such as local positioning modules or global navigation satellite systems.
The patent also describes a mobile telecommunications device that includes a geographic location module, a controller, two SIM cards, and a transceiver. The controller is responsible for identifying the device's location, connecting to the appropriate network based on the SIM card and location, and ensuring the signal strength meets predefined criteria. The device can use different types of networks such as LTE, 5G, or 6G, and the SIM cards can be provided in various forms like Universal Integrated Circuit Cards. The patent also covers a computer-readable medium with instructions for implementing this method on a mobile device.
