MozIccManager

This API is available on Firefox OS for internal applications only.

The MozIccManager interface gives access to ICC related functionalities.

ICC related functionalities are known as the SIM Application Toolkit (STK) and are a set of applications built in to the SIM card. It provide basic functionalities for any phone (SMS, Contact, Tone ring change, etc.) In many cases, SmartPhones prefer to provide visual apps to access the same set of functionalities.

Interface overview

callback EventHandler = any (Event event);
interface MozIccManager : EventTarget
{
  DOMRequest iccCloseChannel(long channel);
  DOMRequest iccExchangeAPDU(long channel, object apdu);
  DOMRequest iccOpenChannel(DOMString aid);
  void sendStkEventDownload(object event);
  void sendStkMenuSelection(unsigned short itemIdentifier, boolean helpRequested);
  void sendStkResponse(object command, object respond);

};

Note: MozIccManager defines many constants that are detailed hereafter but not present in this overview for clarity.

Properties

 
MozIccManager.cardState Read only
A string that indicates the state of the device's ICC card.
MozIccManager.iccInfo Read only
A MozMobileICCInfo object that gives access to information stored in the device's ICC card.
MozIccManager.oncardstatechange
A handler for the cardstatechange event. This event is fired when the cardState property changes value.
MozIccManager.oniccinfochange
A handler for the iccinfochange event. This event is fired whenever the iccInfo object changes.

A handler for the stkcommand event. This event is notified whenever STK Proactive Command is issued from ICC.
MozIccManager.onstksessionend Read only
A handler for the stksessionend event. This event is notified whenever STK Session is terminated by ICC.

Constants

The MozIccManager defines many constants in order to provide an easy way to manage information from the STK. That information is provided as numbers so it's more convenient to have human readable constants to deal with them.

STK Result code

The following results indicate that the command has been performed.

  • STK_RESULT_OK (Command performed successfully)
  • STK_RESULT_PRFRMD_WITH_PARTIAL_COMPREHENSION (Command performed with partial comprehension)
  • STK_RESULT_PRFRMD_WITH_MISSING_INFO (Command performed, with missing information)
  • STK_RESULT_PRFRMD_WITH_ADDITIONAL_EFS_READ (REFRESH performed with additional EFs read)
  • STK_RESULT_PRFRMD_LIMITED_SERVICE (Command performed successfully, limited service)
  • STK_RESULT_UICC_SESSION_TERM_BY_USER (Proactive UICC session terminated by the user)
  • STK_RESULT_BACKWARD_MOVE_BY_USER (Backward move in the proactive UICC session requested by the user)
  • STK_RESULT_NO_RESPONSE_FROM_USER (No response from user)
  • STK_RESULT_HELP_INFO_REQUIRED (Help information required by the user)
  • STK_RESULT_USSD_SS_SESSION_TERM_BY_USER (USSD or SS transaction terminated by the user)

The following results indicate to the UICC that it may be worth re-trying the command at a later opportunity.

  • STK_RESULT_TERMINAL_CRNTLY_UNABLE_TO_PROCESS (Terminal currently unable to process command)
  • STK_RESULT_NETWORK_CRNTLY_UNABLE_TO_PROCESS (Network currently unable to process command)

  • STK_RESULT_USER_CLEAR_DOWN_CALL (User cleared down call before connection or network release)
  • STK_RESULT_LAUNCH_BROWSER_ERROR (Launch browser generic error code)

The following results indicate that it is not worth the UICC re-trying with an identical command, as it will only get the same response. However, the decision to retry lies with the application.

  • STK_RESULT_BEYOND_TERMINAL_CAPABILITY (Command beyond terminal's capabilities)
  • STK_RESULT_CMD_TYPE_NOT_UNDERSTOOD (Command type not understood by terminal)
  • STK_RESULT_CMD_DATA_NOT_UNDERSTOOD (Command data not understood by terminal)
