Method and device for changing EUICC terminal
The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5 th -Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4 th -Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. According to one embodiment of the present invention, provided is a method comprising the steps of: receiving a first control signal transmitted from a base station; processing the received first control signal; and transmitting, to the base station, a second control signal generated on the basis of the processing. In addition, disclosed are a method and a device for installing a profile again when changing an eUICC terminal, and a terminal for managing a profile for a network connection by using an eUICC in a wireless communication system, according to one embodiment, comprises a transmission/reception unit, and at least one processor for controlling the terminal so as to receive a movement request of the profile from a user, confirm profile movement information, transmit, to a profile server, a message for requesting an activation code, receive the activation code and a profile deletion need from the profile server, delete the profile, transmit the deletion result of the profile to the profile server, transfer the activation code to another terminal, receive the activation code from another terminal, transmit a message for requesting the profile to the profile server by using the activation code, receive a profile package from the profile server, and install the profile package.
1. A method performed by a server in a wireless communication system, comprising:
receiving, from a first terminal, a request for transfer of a first profile in the first terminal;
identifying whether the first profile can be transferred from the first terminal to a second terminal, based on the received request for the transfer of the first profile; and
transmitting, to the first terminal, an activation code for the first profile with notification for deleting the first profile, in case that the first profile can be transferred from the first terminal to the second terminal; and
transmitting, to the first terminal, an activation code for a second profile, in case that the first profile cannot be transferred from the first terminal to the second terminal.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, from a service provider, a message for setting a policy related to the request for the transfer of the first profile from the first terminal,
wherein identifying whether the first profile can be transferred from the first terminal to the second terminal is performed based on the policy.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
transmitting, to a service provider, information indicating that the request for the transfer of the first profile has been received from the first terminal;
receiving, from the service provider, a first message comprising information to be noted by a user determined based on a transfer policy for the first profile; and
transmitting, to the first terminal, the first message.
4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:
receiving, from the user, a second message comprising information on whether to consent for the transfer of the first profile determined based on the first message;
transmitting, to the service provider, a third message comprising information on whether to consent for the transfer of the first profile based on the second message; and
receiving a fourth message related to the second profile.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving, from a second terminal, a request for download of the second profile;
transmitting, to the second terminal, a fifth message comprising information on the second profile and information to be noted by a user;
receiving, from the second terminal, a request for information on whether to consent for the download of the second profile and a profile package based on the fifth message; and
transmitting, to the second terminal, the profile package.
6. A server comprising:
a transceiver capable of transmitting and receiving at least one signal; and
a controller coupled to the transceiver,
wherein the controller is configured to:
receive, from a first terminal, a request for transfer of a first profile in the first terminal,
identify whether the first profile can be transferred from the first terminal to a second terminal based on the received request for the transfer of the first profile,
transmit, to the first terminal, an activation code for the first profile with notification for deleting the first profile, in case that the first profile can be transferred from the first terminal to the second terminal, and
transmit, to the first terminal, an activation code for a second profile, in case that the first profile cannot be transferred from the first terminal to the second terminal.
7. The server of claim 6 , wherein the controller is further configured to receive, from a service provider, a message for setting a policy related to the request for the transfer of the first profile from the first terminal,
wherein whether the first profile can be transferred from the first terminal to the second terminal is identified based on the policy.
8. The server of claim 6 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
transmit, to a service provider, information indicating that the request for the transfer of the first profile has been received from the first terminal,
receive, from the service provider, a first message comprising information identified based on a transfer policy for the first profile and required to be noted by a user, and
transmit the first message to the first terminal.
9. The server of claim 8 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
receive, from the user, a second message comprising information on whether to consent for the transfer of the first profile determined based on the first message,
transmit, to the service provider, a third message comprising information on whether to consent for the transfer of the first profile based on the second message, and
receive a fourth message related to the second profile.
10. The server of claim 6 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
receive, from a second terminal, a request for download of the second profile,
transmit, to the second terminal, a fifth message comprising information on the second profile and information to be noted by a user,
receive, from the second terminal, a request for information on whether to consent for the download of the second profile and a profile package based on the fifth message, and
transmit, to the second terminal, the profile package.
