Abstract:
1. A method for ensuring accuracy and consistency of mobile station provisioning and activation parameters stored at multiple locations, where the parameters correspond to devices through which telematics services are provided, the method comprising: establishing, with a mobile station, a first connection; requesting, via the first connection, a first set of network-independent hardware identification parameters stored at the mobile station; receiving the first set of network-independent hardware identification parameters via the first connection; identifying a subscriber account corresponding to at least one network-independent identification parameter in the first set of network-independent hardware identification parameters received from the mobile station; requesting, via a second connection, hardware status or identification information pertaining to a mobile station corresponding to a network assigned parameter, the network assigned parameter being associated with the subscriber account; receiving the hardware status or identification information pertaining to the mobile station corresponding to the network assigned parameter; determining whether the first set of network-independent hardware identification parameters correspond to the hardware status or identification information pertaining to the mobile station corresponding to the network-assigned parameter; and if one or more of the first set of network-independent hardware identification parameters do not correspond to the hardware status or identification information pertaining to the mobile station corresponding to the network assigned parameter, updating the subscriber account.
