`FIELD OF THE INVENTION
`The invention relates to a mobile radiotelephony device
`intended for accommodating a user identification module.

`module to thereby prevent a normal operation of the device
`when an identification module othetthan the linked identiA
`ficaliort mothl: "n mounted inside the device.
`The invention also relates to a method of prdecting such
`a device and a computer program for implementing such a
`methtnl.
`The invention notably has applications in the licld ail
`ponable radiotelephuny. Phrtable mb'gtelephuny devices
`Ire intended to mmpnny their users when they move
`around. [I happens that these devices are lost or stolen.
`PRIOR ART OF THE INVEN'HON
`U.S. I’ll. N0. 5,913,115, published Jun. 15. 1999
`dencrilves a method of protecting a radioIelephone which
`permits to avoid that the lost at Salon telepllorlecan be used
`by a third party with another user identification nodule. This
`method oonlprises eatahlisllirg a link between the device
`and a specific user identification module and blocking the
`normal operation of the device when the user identification
`module that b placed inside the device is not the one that is
`United to the dwice.
`when the device is lost or stolen with the identification
`undo]: to which it islinktnd, the liner is to watt) the opetalot
`solitaltlteiseofhisidemificarioomodulcisbklfltcd a1
`network level.
`This means that the device can be freely used until the
`identification cuticle to which it is titted is blinked via the
`network. This may take a nenain period of lime.
`SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
`ll ts notably an object ol' the invention to resolve this
`pmhlem. For this purpose, a device in confidante with the
`invention (1} verifies a user identification module mounted
`inside the mobile radiolelephony thviw is linked to the
`mobile rodtolelephuny device. (2) detects a period of inac-
`tivity of the mobile ratdiottelephonttI device during a normal
`operation of the nubile radioleleponp device, wherein the
`normal operation inchtdea a promoting 01' all outgoingcalta.
`and (3) prevenlsthe normal operation of the mobile MI)
`telephony device in response lo the verification oil the tear
`identification moduli: and in response to the tleteuion oEthe
`period of inactivity of the mobile radiolelephony device.
`Thust. when the device falls into the hank of: third party'
`together with Ihe identification module to which it in linked.
`it has most probably been inactive for a period of time that
`is saficientlv long for its normal operation to be blocked
`(advantageously, the inactive lint: after which the blocking
`means are activated it of the order of several rrtinutea). "the
`' device cannot thus he used without the deblocking code
`bung supplied.
`Thanks to the invention the lost or stolen device becomes
`totally unusable. A fraudulent person cannot send commu-
`nications at the cool of the owner of the device. But neither
`can he use the device with another identification module.
`The theft DI the device becomes totally who. 11:: inven-
`tion thus forms a protection against then.

`DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED
`EMBODIMENT (IF THE. INVEN'I'ION
`
`In FIG. I is represented an eledrouic dev'ne in accor-
`dance with the invention. In the example described here this
`device is a portable radiotelcphooe of the type used it

`device 1 also mmprbes a houn’ng [I intended for accom-
`modating a user iahnlificatioo module 13. In the exnlnple of
`embodiment deatriiotl here, this identification moduli: D is
`a portable card oi an integrated circuit in which intormatioo
`is Hort-d, notably an international almliliatiu: nutrtlter
`currently called [MSI number, and a lloraonal. Identification
`Number currenlly called PIN code.
`FIG. 2 shows the overall electrical dingram of lib devioe

`a microprocessor assembly 20 which comprises a micropho—
`oessor (“1:9") 23 to which are associated a random access
`memory rm") 2‘ and a read-only memory (“ROM") 26.

`The embodiment that has just been described is particul-
`lady.etfeeme. because it provides two separate blmlting
`modes depending on whether the identification module that
`1“ is placed inside the device '5 either or not linked to the
`device. The first blocking mode is applied in the case where
`the device he been lost or stolen. The object is then to
`prawn] the device. being usable with another Hmlifimtielr
`module. It thus advutlagetmsly blocks the incoming and
`It outgoing calls at the same time. The second. blocking mode
`is applied in the case where the identification moduk that is
`linked to the device is in its plane inside the device and. the
`device is in a state of availability. The object 'a to prevent a
`third party being able to send outgoing calls with this device
`29 if it is lost. stolen or let} without attendance for sometime
`In that cane, it isdesinbla for the user to be able to continue
`to directly rctxive his'incoming calls.
