Patent ID: 7197301

Claim:
A secure immediate access wireless apparatus that enables at least one non-active wireless device to activate itself on the wireless network comprising: an intelligent service manager server managing an activation session of said at least one non-active wireless device; means for said non-active wireless device to generate at least one temporary mandatory network identifier from a set of allocated network identifiers at the beginning of activation to gain access to said intelligent service manager server via said wireless network; wherein the set of allocated network identifiers provide access only to said intelligent service manager server only via said wireless network; wherein generation of said at least one temporary network identifier at the beginning of the process is algorithmically generated; means for securely exchanging information between said at least one non-active wireless device and said intelligent service manager server during said activation session, wherein wireless network elements interposed between said intelligent service manager server and said wireless device passively route messages between said intelligent service manager server and wireless device as if said wireless device were active; means for utilizing one or more wireless messaging transports to exchange information between said at least one non-active wireless device and said intelligent service manager server during activation without requiring either implementation of extensions to messaging protocols or changes to network elements supporting said messaging protocols; wherein activation comprises the steps of: said non-active device detecting that it is not active generating at least one temporary mandatory network identifier from a set of allocated temporary network identifiers; said non-active device gaining access to said wireless network using said at least one temporary network identifier generated by said wireless device; said intelligent service manager server returning a profile for said non-active wireless device to appropriate network elements; said non-active wireless device authenticating said intelligent service manager server; said intelligent service manager server authenticating said non-active wireless device; said intelligent service manager server allocating mandatory network identifiers for said non-active wireless device; wherein activation further comprises any of the steps of: said intelligent service manager server programming said non-active wireress device with mandatory network identifiers and security key; said intelligent service manager server interacting with a user via said wireless device immediately after authentication; said intelligent service manager server triggering an additional network provisioning process; and said intelligent service manager server providing feedback to said user.
