Abstract

A method for managing a secure element (SE) is disclosed. The method for managing the SE includes identifying secure information stored in the SE, sending a command to request to set suspension of use of a means of payment included in the secure information stored in the SE to a secure server, generating backup data using at least part of the identified secure information, transmitting the backup data from the SE to the secure server through a secure channel set between the secure server and the SE and storing the backup data, transmitting a restoration command on the secure information to the secure server, and restoring the backup data of the secure server to the SE or another SE.

Claims (60)

1. A method for managing a secure element (SE) in a user terminal, comprising:

in response to the user terminal receiving a backup command on secure information stored in the SE from a user of the user terminal, identifying, by the user terminal, the secure information stored in the SE;

sending, by the user terminal, a command to request to set suspension of use of a means of payment included in the secure information stored in the SE to a secure server;

generating, by the user terminal, backup data using at least part of the identified secure information after the command to request to set the suspension of use of the means of payment is sent to the secure server;

transmitting, by the user terminal, the backup data from the SE to the secure server through a secure channel set between the secure server and the SE and storing the backup data;

in response to an update of the SE being completed and detected by the user terminal, transmitting, by the user terminal, a restoration command on the secure information to the secure server; and

in response to the restoration command on the secure information being transmitted by the user terminal, restoring the backup data of the secure server to the SE or another SE,

wherein the restoring the backup data comprises sending, by the user terminal, a command to request to set use of the means of payment included in the secure information stored in the SE based on the backup data to the secure server.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the generating the backup data comprises:

dividing the identified secure information into categories; and

generating the backup data according to a backup method for each category.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the generating the backup data comprises generating, as backup data, a card applet installation list including card applet information of information which is divided into a card applet category from among the identified secure information, and

wherein the restoring comprises controlling to install the card applet in the SE or another SE based on the card applet installation list included in the backup data.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the restoring comprises: displaying card information included in the card applet installation list on a display screen, and installing a card applet selected in response to a selection input of the user in the SE or another SE.

5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the generating the backup data comprises generating, as backup data, numerical data of information which is divided into a numerical data category from among the identified secure information, and

wherein the restoring comprises storing the numerical data included in the backup data in the SE or another SE.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the generating the backup data comprises generating backup data by encrypting the at least part of the secure information using identification information of the user terminal and identification information of the user of the user terminal.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the SE and the another SE is an embedded SE.

8. A method for managing a secure element (SE) in a user terminal, comprising:

receiving, by a secure server, a backup command on secure information stored in the SE of the user terminal, the backup command being received by the user terminal from a user of the user terminal;

receiving, by the secure server, a command to request to set suspension of use of a means of payment included in the secure information stored in the SE of the user terminal from the user terminal; and

receiving, by the secure server, backup data of at least part of the secure information from the user terminal through a secure channel set between the SE of the user terminal and the secure server after the command to request to set the suspension of use of the means of payment is received from the user terminal;

receiving, by the secure server, a restoration command on the secure information which is transmitted from the user terminal in response to an update of the SE being completed and detected by the user terminal;

in response to the restoration command being received by the secure server, transmitting, by the secure server, the backup data to the SE of the user terminal or another user terminal; and

receiving, by the secure server, a command to request to set use of the means of payment included in the secure information stored in the SE of the user terminal based on the backup data from the user terminal.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium which records a program for executing a method for managing a secure element (SE) in a user terminal, the method comprising:

in response to the user terminal receiving a backup command on secure information stored in the SE from a user of the user terminal, identifying, by the user terminal, the secure information stored in the SE;

sending, by the user terminal, a command to request to set suspension of use of a means of payment included in the secure information stored in the SE to a secure server;

generating, by the user terminal, backup data using at least part of the identified secure information after the command to request to set the suspension of use of the means of payment is sent to the secure server;

transmitting, by the user terminal, the backup data from the SE to the secure server through a secure channel set between the secure server and the SE and storing the backup data;

in response to an update of the SE being completed and detected by the user terminal, transmitting, by the user terminal, a restoration command on the secure information to the secure server; and

in response to the restoration command on the secure information being transmitted by the user terminal, restoring the backup data of the secure server to the SE or another SE,

wherein the restoring the backup data comprises sending, by the user terminal, a command to request to set use of the means of payment included in the secure information stored in the SE based on the backup data to the secure server.

10. A system for managing a secure element (SE) in a user terminal, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory storing instructions executable by the processor,

wherein the processor is configured to:

in response to the user terminal receiving a backup command on secure information stored in the SE from a user of the user terminal, identify, by the user terminal, the secure information stored in the SE;

send, by the user terminal, a command to request to set suspension of use of a means of payment included in the secure information stored in the SE to a secure server;

generate, by the user terminal, backup data using at least part of the identified secure information after the command to request to set the suspension of use of the means of payment is sent to the secure server;

transmit, by the user terminal, the backup data from the SE to the secure server through a secure channel set between the secure server and the SE to store the backup data;

in response to an update of the SE being completed and detected by the user terminal, transmit, by the user terminal, a restoration command on the secure information to the secure server;

in response to the restoration command on the secure information being transmitted by the user terminal, restore the backup data of the secure server to the SE or another SE; and
