Application: Network connectivity based on user identity (Patent ID: US20240106818A1)

The patent filed by Deutsche Telekom AG describes techniques for managing a service plan based on user identity rather than device identifiers. The system includes components for managing identity information, service plan agreements, and device connectivity. The operations involve receiving user information, determining service plans, storing plan values, and generating device credentials for network connection. The system authenticates user identity, compares biometric data or user credentials, and activates embedded Subscriber Identity Modules (eSIMs) for device connection. The service plan is independent of device identifiers and includes billing rates for multiple devices to connect to the network. The system can determine device credentials based on billing rates, user input, and the number of devices included in the service plan.

The method and computer-readable media described in the patent outline similar operations for managing service plans and device connectivity in a telecommunications network. The method involves receiving communications, determining service plans, storing plan values, and generating device credentials for network connection. Authentication of user identity, comparison of biometric data or user credentials, and activation of eSIMs are also part of the method. The operations are based on user identity rather than device identifiers, with billing rates, user input, and the number of devices influencing the service plan and device credentials. The computer-readable media stores instructions for executing these operations, emphasizing the user-centric approach to managing service plans and device connectivity in the telecommunications network.
