Xiaomi he thinks about them all and everything that comes to mind ... bam, here's a patent. However, patents do not always concern physical products, sometimes even six services. This is the case of the document just presented by the company in which we read about a really very useful idea, although not exactly very original. Let's talk about SIMs. this time and specifically of sharing data through a SIM card. The idea is really very interesting and would make it possible to reduce the cost of charging. But having said that, let's go see the details.
Xiaomi is thinking of a way to share data from a SIM for several people, a bit like Wind did at the time. Useful?
According to Chinese sources, the site Jicha which deals with collecting the patents of various Chinese companies, has published a patent in the name of Xiaomi. This is about sharing a data single SIM that can be used by multiple users. For completeness, the document has been published with an identification number CN108924820B. According to the company's patent summary, this solution can allow multiple users to dynamically share SIM card resources, thus reducing the tariff for using user data and improving the user experience.

A similar service, to better understand how it works, was proposed by some years ago Italian companies. However, the way to use this new mode differs from the previous one. For example, the service of wind Italy that was called open internet, allowed to buy a precise amount of GB per month by sharing them with 4 rechargeable. So with 4 SIMs. The service that Xiaomi offers instead, is that of use a single SIM that would hook up to 4 different numbers. Or rather, the 4 numbers would be hooked to a single SIM.
A really cool idea. What do you think about it?
