Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a smart card having an embedded integrated circuit (ic), the smaller 'generally a pocket type plastic card ^ 1C usually including a digital storage array (memory) ) and processor 》 [Prior Art] Smart cards are usually used to store data securely. In the context of mobile phone technology, the security material uniquely identifies the mobile phone user to the associated mobile network operator (MNO). The information stored in the smart card also defines the type of service granted to the user. A dedicated smart card called a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card is used with the handset for the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) cellular telephony technology. ISO-781 0 is an international standard for smart cards, which is jointly managed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). According to IS〇_7810, the smart card can be 856 mm (mm) in length and % mm in width. A smart card having the aforementioned dimensions is considered to conform to the ID l format. This type of smart card is referred to herein as "D-Leica." Because of its compact size, the Hawthorn card can be easily handled during manufacturing, transportation (for example, to the end user), and storage. The trend is to minimize the size of the smart card that is defined to be smaller than the ID-1 card. This mini card is considered to be "in accordance with the id format", which is designed for the form factor of the SIM card. Since the size is smaller than 1D · 1 format card, SIM card processing is not as convenient as weaving card. For example, card reading is easier to lose or damage. Therefore, for 124716.doc 1379240 processing and shipping, sm card is usually tied, embedded, integrated, (4) 1 card carrier (carrier card) can be separated in the post-segment phase, for example when the phone user wants to insert the SIM card into the mobile phone. The card is usually protected by secret information, which can be used as ρι and pUK... Such codes and keys are examples of information customized to the SIM card. This information is collectively referred to herein as "information about the operation of the SIM card' or the second information about the operation of the smart card, or Even for the sake of brevity only
