Abstract:
1. Method for switching between a first and a second logical UICCs comprised in a same physical UICC and sharing during their execution time a common physical memory location for part of their volatile data, called overlapped volatile data, and part of their persistent data, called overlapped persistent data, each logical UICC comprising an area for storing overlapped volatile data and an area for storing overlapped persistent data, said physical UICC also comprising an area storing during logical UICC execution time overlapped volatile and overlapped persistent data, said method comprising, when a switch order is received to switch from said first logical UICC to said second logical UICC: i—backup volatile data from an OS area of said physical UICC to said area for storing overlapped volatile data of said first logical UICC; ii—backup persistent data from the OS area of said physical UICC to said area for storing overlapped persistent data of said first logical UICC; iii—restore volatile data from the area for storing overlapped volatile data from said second logical UICC to said OS area for storing volatile data of said physical UICC; and iv—restore persistent data from the area for storing overlapped persistent data from said second logical UICC to said OS area for storing persistent data of said physical UICC.
