πŸ“’ Report Cards and Oops Messages

Notifications and Error Handling for IoT eSIM

A story of postcards, error levels, and the magical undo button

πŸ“¬ The Notification System

Whenever something important happens on the chip, it creates a notification: like a little postcard. "Profile Enabled!", "Profile Deleted!", or "Oops, something went wrong!" These postcards travel from the chip through the translator to the control centre and profile factory.

πŸ“¦ Saving Battery Power

Sending messages uses precious battery on tiny sensors. So the system has a clever trick: bundling. Instead of sending notifications one at a time, the translator waits and sends them all together: like putting multiple postcards in one envelope. One transmission, many messages!

Level 1 Translator spots problem before reaching chip Level 2 Chip rejects whole package (bad signature) Level 3 Package OK but one command failed inside πŸš‘ eCall Active! ALL operations blocked during emergency calls

🚨 Three Levels of Oops

Errors come in three flavours: Level 1: the translator spots a problem before it reaches the chip. Level 2: the chip rejects the whole package (bad signature, low counter). Level 3: the package was fine, but one specific command inside failed. And if there's an emergency call? Everything gets blocked: saving lives comes first!

βͺ The Undo Button: Profile Rollback

What if the translator executes a command but loses connection before reporting back? Nobody knows what happened! The fix: Profile Rollback: the translator tells the chip "oops, undo that last thing." The chip reverts to its previous state: like pressing Ctrl+Z for your SIM profiles!

🧠 🚨 EMERGENCY CALL ❌ Blocked: All profile management operations

When you make an emergency call on an eSIM device, the chip blocks every single management operation until you hang up: just to make absolutely sure nothing interrupts your call for help. The system returns an error meaning "busy saving lives, try later!"
