Patent ID: 7613481

Claim:
A method for information management from a primary telecommunication equipment unit, the primary telecommunication equipment unit comprising a screen and equipped with a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) memory card connector, wherein a SIM Toolkit application developed in a SIM memory card is executed, thereby enabling management of information, the method for information management comprising: an acquisition phase of information for a database and the SIM memory card, comprising the steps of: (a) filling out a record by a user with personal information; (b) sending the record to an operator connected to a server linked to the database; (c) verifying of the record by the operator; (d) integrating the record in the database; (e) writing the record on the SIM memory card in a format useable by a standard telephone, via a link between the database and the SIM memory card, in memory registers of the SIM memory card intended for storing data required for establishing a session with a telecommunication operator; and a restoration phase of information, comprising the steps of: (a) inserting the SIM memory card in the connector of the telecommunication equipment, (b) exchanging information between the telecommunication equipment unit and the SIM memory card according to a standardized protocol, and (c) inhibiting the means of subscriber authentication and connection to a telecommunication network, the inhibiting step comprising detecting, by the telecommunication equipment unit, a numeric derivation sequence whose value is not assigned to a telecommunication operator or to a country, the numeric derivation sequence being recorded in a memory register of the SIM memory card where an International Mobile Subscriber Identifier (IMSI) number would normally be recorded to bypass a restriction of use of the telecommunication equipment unit to the telecommunication operator that supplied the telecommunication equipment unit, said inhibiting step causing the telecommunication equipment unit to operate as a local peripheral device outside of the network, by bypassing authentication and connection phases to the network, for displaying of the information written in the SIM memory card, the displaying comprising: (i) loading in a random access memory of the telecommunication equipment unit of information desired to be managed; and (ii) displaying said information on the screen of the telecommunication equipment unit via standardized applications of the telecommunication equipment unit.
