    Abstract: The invention provides a technique for managing write operations issued to a non-volatile memory included in a wireless device. A monitor software application executes on the wireless device and is configured to determine that a number of write operations issued to the non-volatile memory is greater than or equal to a write operation threshold associated with the non-volatile memory. In response, at least one application is isolated as the application responsible for issuing excessive write operations. The isolation can be carried out locally on the wireless device, or the isolation can be carried out remotely at a server by sending information about the write operations to the server. The monitor then limits additional write operations from being issued to the non-volatile memory so as to protect the non-volatile memory from becoming corrupted or inoperable.

    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for managing and sharing data across multiple access control clients in devices. In one embodiment, the access control clients comprise electronic Subscriber Identity Modules (eSIMs) disposed on an embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card (eUICC). Each eSIM contains its own data. An Advanced Subscriber Identity Toolkit application maintained within the eUICC facilitates managing and sharing multiple eSIMs' data for various purposes such as sharing phonebook contacts or facilitating automatic switch-over between the multiple eSIMs (such as based on user context).

    Abstract: Adaptive data collection practices in a multi-processor device. The device may include a first processor and a second processor. The first processor may operate in any of a plurality of power states. The first processor may indicate to the second processor when it transitions to a different power state. The second processor may collect information relating to its operation. The second processor may collect the information according to different information collecting modes depending on in which power state the first processor is operating. Less information may be collected in an information collecting mode corresponding to a lower power state of the first processor than in an information collecting mode corresponding to a higher power state of the first processor.

    Abstract: Embodiments are described for identifying and accessing an electronic subscriber identity module (eSIM) and associated content of the eSIM in a multiple eSIM configuration. An embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card (eUICC) can include multiple eSIMs, where each eSIM can include its own file structures and applications. Some embodiments include a processor of a mobile device transmitting a special command to the eUICC, including an identification that uniquely identifies an eSIM in the eUICC. After selecting the eSIM, the processor can access file structures and applications of the selected eSIM. The processor can then use existing commands to access content in the selected eSIM. The special command can direct the eUICC to activate or deactivate content associated with the selected eSIM. Other embodiments include an eUICC platform operating system interacting with eSIMs associated with logical channels to facilitate identification and access to file structures and applications of the eSIMs.

In one embodiment, a powered-off mobile device having an inserted Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) may be programmed with configuration data while “in box” (e.g., at a point of sale (POS), in a warehouse, etc.) using a near field communication (NFC) data interface. In another exemplary embodiment, information that is stored to a NFC accessible memory can be accessed when the device is non-functional e.g., to retrieve backup data.

    Abstract: In some implementations, a mobile device can analyze motion sensor data and proximity sensor data during a voice call to determine whether the mobile device is on a stationary object or worn on a user's body (e.g., in the lap or pocket of a user of the mobile device). The mobile device can adjust the transmit power level of the telephony transceiver during the voice call based on the determination.
