Patent ID: 8897776

Claim:
A server system for wireless communication provisioning of a wireless communication device operating in a carrier network including at least one carrier tower comprising: a processor; and a memory coupled with the processor, wherein the memory is configured to provide the processor with instructions which when executed cause the processor to: detect that a transition condition has occurred in a lifecycle of the wireless communication device, wherein the transition condition indicates that an authorized user of the wireless communication device has changed or a usage condition of the authorized user has expired; determine a current provisioning state associated with the one or more identifiers; determine a next provisioning state associated with the one or more identifiers; determine a state transition rule associated with the one or more identifiers wherein the state transition rule defines a transition between the current provisioning state and the next provisioning state; determine a provisioning instruction according to an occurrence of the transition condition and an application of the state transition rule; and transmit the provisioning instruction to at least one of an Authentication Center (AuC), a Home Location Register (HLR), a Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN), a Billing system, or an Authentication Authorization Accounting (AAA) system according to the state transition rule.
