Description

Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of electronic technologies, and in particular, to a virtual SIM card switching method, apparatus, and terminal.

Background technique

At present, most of the communication functions of the mobile terminal need to be implemented by relying on a physical SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card. The SIM card has uniqueness, that is, a SIM card corresponds to a communication number, which is used by the operator to authenticate the user and the user. The communication record is backed by operations such as registration and encryption. With the development of social life and mobile communication services, people have not satisfied that they only have one communication number (ie, one SIM card) for communication. Generally, when the communication quality of the carrier network to which the SIM card belongs is not good (such as weak signal strength), the user generally performs communication service by changing another SIM card belonging to a different operator. However, the problem that comes with it is that the current mobile terminal usually supports a physical SIM card. When the user encounters a bad communication quality of the SIM card network, the user needs to manually replace the SIM card, even if the mobile SIM card is supported.

detailed description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described in the following with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. It is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts are within the scope of the present invention.

1 is a schematic flowchart of a method for switching a virtual SIM card. The method may be implemented by a virtual SIM card switching device, where the virtual SIM card switching device may be a user terminal or running. The software program of the user terminal, the user terminal may include a mobile phone, a notebook computer, a tablet computer, a car computer, a POS (Point Of Sales) machine, and the like. The method as shown in the figure includes at least:

Step S101: Detect whether the communication service quality corresponding to the virtual SIM card in the activated state meets the required threshold of the currently used communication service.

Specifically, the virtual SIM card in the active state is a virtual SIM card that is resident or said to be used by the user. The communication service quality may be an indicator for measuring the degree of communication service currently used by the communication network, and may include multiple measurement parameters such as signal strength, bit error rate, transmission speed, or/and transmission delay of the network. In different scenarios or different terminal devices, one of the measurement parameters may be used to characterize the communication service quality, or multiple or more may be used to calculate the normalized communication service quality, for example, only the signal of the network may be used. The intensity of the strength is used to characterize the quality of the communication service. It is also possible to calculate a normalized value by using multiple measurement parameters such as signal strength, bit error rate, transmission speed or/and transmission delay of the network.

The communication service may be one or more of the communication forms that the terminal can use to make a virtual SIM card, such as making or receiving a call, video live broadcast, web browsing, short message sending and receiving, etc., for example, the user is watching the video through the network, and the currently used communication service is used. It is a live video. The demand threshold of the communication service is a threshold value of the communication service quality required by the terminal to complete the corresponding communication task, that is, if the communication service quality corresponding to the virtual SIM card is lower than the demand threshold of the communication service. , is not a good completion of the communication tasks currently used.

It should be noted that the communication service quality is corresponding to the measurement threshold of the communication service demand threshold, that is, if the communication service quality is characterized by a parameter of the signal strength, then the demand threshold of the communication service is also pre- A signal strength value, if the communication service quality is a normalized representation value by a plurality of measurement parameters such as signal strength, bit error rate, transmission speed, or/and transmission delay, then the demand threshold of the communication service is also A normalized representation value is provided by a plurality of measurement parameters such as signal strength, bit error rate, transmission speed, or/and transmission delay.

In this embodiment, the terminal can obtain the communication service currently used by the user and the demand threshold corresponding to the communication service, and obtain the communication service quality corresponding to the virtual SIM card in the activated state, and then detect the virtual SIM card corresponding to the activated state. Whether the communication service quality satisfies the demand threshold corresponding to the currently used communication service.

For example, the user is using a virtual SIM card in an active state to make a call, assuming that the demand threshold of the call service is a signal strength of -80 dBm, and the terminal acquires the activated state at this time. The communication service quality corresponding to the virtual SIM card is -50dBm, and the -50dBm is greater than -80dBm, indicating that the communication service quality corresponding to the active SIM card here can meet the demand threshold of the currently used communication service, that is, the user can be made Good completion of the call.

For another example, when the virtual SIM card in the active state is answering the call, the user also performs web browsing, assuming that the demand threshold of the call service is a normalized value of 0.2, and the demand threshold of the web browsing is a normalized value of 0.6, and the terminal is at this time. The obtained communication service quality corresponding to the activated virtual SIM card is a normalized value of 0.5, and the communication service quality corresponding to the virtual SIM card in the active state here can satisfy the currently used call service, but cannot satisfy the currently used call service. The web browsing service, that is, the communication service quality corresponding to the virtual SIM card in the activated state does not meet the demand threshold of the currently used communication service.

Step S102: If the communication service quality corresponding to the active SIM card does not meet the required threshold of the currently used communication service, the communication service quality corresponding to all downloaded virtual SIM cards is detected.

Specifically, since the virtual SIM card is not a physical SIM card, the terminal can obtain the registration information in the terminal as long as it is downloaded to the terminal, and the registration information includes an International Mobile Subscriber Identification Number (IMSI), according to the IMSI, The mobile communication network can uniquely identify the country to which the virtual SIM card belongs, the mobile communication network, and the mobile communication number bound to it, that is, the bound mobile user.

In this embodiment, the user may have a plurality of downloaded virtual SIM cards, that is, a virtual SIM card that has been authorized to use, that is, an equivalent situation in which a plurality of physical SIM cards are purchased. Therefore, if it is detected in step S101 that the communication service quality corresponding to the virtual SIM card in the active state does not satisfy the required threshold of the currently used communication service, the terminal may provide communication services corresponding to other virtual SIM cards that have been downloaded in the terminal. Quality is tested.

During the specific detection process, the detection methods differ according to the number of different SIM card chips present in the terminal. If there is only a single SIM card chip in the terminal, the SIM card chip must be loaded with the virtual SIM card currently in use, and in order to detect the communication service quality of other downloaded virtual SIM cards, the terminal needs to load it. The short-lived network in the SIM card chip can be detected. Therefore, the virtual SIM card in the activated state needs to be unregistered, and then the other downloaded virtual SIM cards are sequentially loaded for detection.

In this embodiment, the terminal may also have at least two SIM card chips, and the first SIM card chip is used. In order to load the virtual SIM card in the active state, another SIM card can be used to sequentially detect the communication service quality of other downloaded virtual SIM cards. During the specific detection process, the terminal can receive the signal of the nearby base station through a short resident network, thereby detecting the signal strength. The terminal may also send a test message to the network server by using the downloaded virtual SIM card, and then determine the communication service quality according to the response condition of the network server, for example, determining the bit error rate, the transmission speed, or/and the transmission time according to the message replied by the network server. Delay.

Step S103, if a communication service quality corresponding to the at least one virtual SIM card in the downloaded virtual SIM card meets a demand threshold of the currently used communication service, determining one virtual SIM in the at least one virtual SIM card. The card acts as the target virtual SIM card.

Specifically, the terminal can obtain a virtual SIM card in which the communication service quality can meet the required threshold of the currently used communication service by using the communication service quality corresponding to all downloaded virtual SIM cards detected in step S102.

It should be noted that the virtual SIM card whose communication service quality can meet the demand threshold of the currently used communication service may be one or more. When the communication service quality corresponding to only one virtual SIM card of all the downloaded virtual SIM cards meets the required threshold of the currently used communication service, the terminal may directly determine that the virtual SIM card is the target virtual SIM card; when all downloaded When there are multiple virtual SIM cards in the virtual SIM card whose communication service quality can meet the required threshold of the currently used communication service, the terminal may randomly select one of the virtual SIM cards as the target virtual SIM card, or according to certain preset rules, for example, selecting The target virtual SIM card is determined by the earliest download date, the highest usage rate, or the best communication service quality.

Step S104, deregistering the virtual SIM card in the activated state, and activating the target virtual SIM card to perform the communication service.

Specifically, after the terminal determines that the communication service quality meets the target virtual SIM card of the currently used communication service demand threshold, the virtual SIM card in the activated state may be deactivated, and the target virtual SIM card is activated to perform the currently used communication service. .

In this embodiment, the virtual SIM card in the active state may be deactivated. The virtual SIM card in the active state that is being used may be erased in the SIM card chip and loaded by the target virtual SIM card. In the SIM card chip, the target virtual SIM card is activated, and the new virtual SIM card is used as the user; in addition, the virtual SIM card in the activated state may be used to stop the currently used communication service from using the activated virtual SIM. Card, activated by the target virtual SIM card The currently used communication service is carried out, and other communication services can still be executed by the active virtual SIM card.

It should be noted that, in either case, the virtual SIM card that has been logged off is still stored in the storage space of the terminal together with other downloaded virtual SIM cards, and will not be deleted or invalidated. When the user's switching instruction or detecting that the newly activated virtual SIM card cannot meet the required threshold of the communication service, the virtual SIM card that has been logged off can be reloaded into the SIM card chip for use.

For example, if there is only a single SIM card chip in the terminal, the terminal can erase the activated virtual SIM card in the SIM card chip and load the target virtual SIM card, so that the target virtual SIM card is used as the virtual SIM that the user is using. The card, in turn, can perform the currently used communication service, such as re-dialing to complete a better call experience.

For example, if there are two SIM card chips in the terminal, and the currently used communication service is live video, the terminal can stop the use of the traffic service in the active live virtual SIM card in the first SIM card chip. Loading the target virtual SIM card into the second SIM card chip to perform live video broadcast using the traffic service in the target virtual SIM card, but for other communication services, such as call services, the terminal may still be activated in the first SIM card chip. The state of the virtual SIM card is executed.

2 is a schematic flowchart of a method for switching a virtual SIM card according to another embodiment of the present invention, where the method includes:

Step S201: Detect whether the communication service quality corresponding to the virtual SIM card in the activated state meets the required threshold of the currently used communication service.

For the specific method, refer to step S101.

Step S202, if the communication service quality corresponding to the virtual SIM card in the activated state does not meet the required threshold of the currently used communication service, detecting that all downloaded virtual SIM cards correspond to Communication service quality.

For specific methods, refer to step 102.

Step S203, if the communication service quality corresponding to the at least one virtual SIM card in the downloaded virtual SIM card satisfies the demand threshold of the currently used communication service, determining that the communication service quality is the highest in the at least one virtual SIM card. An excellent virtual SIM card is used as the target virtual SIM card.

Specifically, the terminal can obtain the communication service quality in the virtual SIM card whose communication service quality can meet the demand threshold of the currently used communication service by using the communication service quality corresponding to all the downloaded virtual SIM cards detected in step S202. The virtual SIM card is used as the target virtual SIM card.

In an embodiment, a plurality of virtual SIM cards whose communication service quality can meet the demand threshold of the currently used communication service, in the virtual SIM card where the plurality of communication service qualities can meet the demand threshold of the currently used communication service, the terminal The virtual SIM card with the best communication service quality is selected as the target virtual SIM card according to the detection result of step S202.

For example, if the demand threshold of the currently used communication service is 0.4, it is detected that the communication service quality of the three virtual SIM cards A, B, and C in the downloaded virtual SIM card is greater than or equal to 0.4, and the communication service quality is A. 0.5, B is 0.7, and C is 0.4. The terminal can determine that B is the virtual SIM card with the best communication service quality, and can determine that B is the target virtual SIM card.

Optionally, the step may be: determining a virtual SIM card with the highest priority among the at least one virtual SIM card as the target virtual SIM card.

Specifically, the user can preset the priority of the downloaded virtual SIM card. For example, the priority of the card 1 with a larger recharge amount is 1 and the priority of the non-common card 2 is 2. After obtaining the priority of the virtual SIM card, it may be determined according to the priority order which virtual SIM card is obtained as the target virtual SIM card. In the above example, the terminal can select the card 1 with priority 1 as the target virtual SIM card.

Step S204, deregistering the virtual SIM card in an activated state, and activating the target virtual SIM card to perform the communication service.

For the specific method, refer to step S104.

Optionally, the method may further include:

Determining, according to a signal strength, a bit error rate, a transmission speed, or/and a transmission delay of the communication network to which the virtual SIM card in the activated state belongs, determining a communication service quality of the virtual SIM card in an activated state,

Or / and,

Specifically, the preset weight coefficient may be obtained, and the signal strength, the error rate, the transmission speed, and the transmission delay are weighted according to the weight coefficient, and the communication service quality of the virtual SIM is generated.

For example, you can follow the formula

Result=A×a+B×b+C×c+D×d,

a+b+c+d=1

Calculating the communication service quality of the virtual SIM, wherein, preferably, A is a normalized value of the signal strength, B is a normalized value of the error rate, C is a normalized value of the transmission speed, and D is a transmission delay. Normalized value. a, b, c, and d are the corresponding weighting coefficients, respectively. It can be assumed that a = 0.4, b = 0.2, c = 0.1, and d = 0.3, thereby calculating a normalized value of the communication service quality.

Further in an alternative embodiment, the quality of communication service can be determined based on a normalized value of the unified communication quality of service.

It should be noted that the method can be used to calculate the communication service quality of the virtual SIM card in the activated state, and can also be used to calculate the communication service quality of the downloaded virtual SIM card. When calculating the communication service quality of the virtual SIM card in the activated state, the terminal may acquire the signal strength, the bit error rate, the transmission speed, or/and the transmission delay of the communication network to which the virtual SIM card belongs in an active state to perform calculation; When calculating the communication service quality of the downloaded virtual SIM card, the signal strength, the bit error rate, the transmission speed, or/and the transmission delay of the communication network to which the downloaded virtual SIM card belongs may be obtained for calculation.

Optionally, the method may further include:

Send a virtual SIM card download request to the cloud server.

Specifically, when there is no virtual SIM card other than the virtual SIM card in the active state in the terminal, or when the user has other virtual SIM cards that are not downloaded but purchased, the terminal may send the virtual SIM to the cloud server. The card download request requests the cloud server to send a virtual SIM card corresponding to the virtual SIM card download request.

Specifically, the cloud server stores a large number of virtual SIM cards, and the user of the terminal can perform verification by the cloud server according to the verification method obtained at the time of purchase, and then the cloud server can obtain the corresponding virtual SIM card and send the message to the terminal. After the terminal receives the virtual SIM card, the method in the foregoing embodiment may be further performed.

FIG. 3 is a structural diagram of a virtual SIM card switching apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, the apparatus includes:

The requirement detection module 310 is configured to detect whether the communication service quality corresponding to the virtual SIM card in the activated state meets the required threshold of the currently used communication service.

It should be noted that the communication service quality is corresponding to the measurement threshold of the communication service demand threshold, that is, if the communication service quality is characterized by a parameter of the signal strength, then the demand threshold of the communication service is also pre- A signal strength value, if the communication service quality is a normalized representation value by a plurality of measurement parameters such as signal strength, bit error rate, transmission speed, or/and transmission delay, then the demand threshold of the communication service is also One pass signal strength, bit error rate, Normalized representation of values by multiple measurement parameters such as transmission speed or/and transmission delay.

In this embodiment, the requirement detection module 310 can obtain the communication service currently used by the user and the demand threshold corresponding to the communication service, acquire the communication service quality corresponding to the virtual SIM card in the activated state, and then detect the virtual SIM in the activated state. Whether the communication service quality corresponding to the card satisfies the demand threshold corresponding to the currently used communication service.

For example, the user is using the virtual SIM card in the active state to make a call, assuming that the demand threshold of the call service is a signal strength of -80 dBm, and the communication corresponding to the virtual SIM card in the activated state acquired by the demand detection module 310 at this time. The signal strength of the service quality is -50dBm, and the -50dBm is greater than -80dBm, which indicates that the communication service quality corresponding to the virtual SIM card in the active state can meet the demand threshold of the currently used communication service, that is, the user can complete the call well.

For another example, the user is still in the active virtual SIM card to answer the phone and also performs web browsing, assuming that the demand threshold of the call service is a normalized value of 0.2, and the demand threshold of the web browsing is a normalized value of 0.6, and the demand is at this time. The communication service quality corresponding to the activated virtual SIM card obtained by the detection module 310 is a normalized value of 0.5, and the communication service quality corresponding to the virtual SIM card in the active state here can satisfy the currently used call service, but cannot satisfy the The currently used web browsing service, that is, the communication service quality corresponding to the virtual SIM card in the active state does not satisfy the demand threshold of the currently used communication service.

The quality detection module 320 is configured to detect a communication service quality corresponding to all downloaded virtual SIM cards if the communication service quality corresponding to the virtual SIM card in the activated state does not meet the required threshold of the currently used communication service.

In this embodiment, the user may have a plurality of downloaded virtual SIM cards, that is, a virtual SIM card that has been authorized to use, that is, an equivalent situation in which a plurality of physical SIM cards are purchased. Therefore, if the demand detection module 310 detects that the communication service quality corresponding to the virtual SIM card in the active state does not meet the demand threshold of the currently used communication service, the quality detection module 320 may perform other virtual SIMs that have been downloaded in the terminal. The quality of the communication service corresponding to the card is detected.

During the specific detection process, the detection methods differ according to the number of different SIM card chips present in the terminal. If there is only a single SIM card chip in the terminal, the SIM card chip must be loaded with the virtual SIM card currently in use, and in order to detect the communication service quality of other downloaded virtual SIM cards, the terminal needs to load it. The short-lived network in the SIM card chip can be detected. Therefore, the quality detecting module 320 needs to first log off the virtual SIM card in the activated state, and then load other downloaded virtual SIM cards in turn for detection.

In this embodiment, the terminal may also have at least two SIM card chips, the first SIM card chip is used to load the virtual SIM card in an activated state, and the other SIM card may be used to sequentially download the other downloaded virtual SIM cards. The quality of communication services is tested. During the specific detection process, the quality detecting module 320 can receive the signal of the nearby base station through a short resident network, thereby detecting the signal strength. The quality detecting module 320 can also send a test message to the network server by using the downloaded virtual SIM card, and then determine the communication service quality according to the response condition of the network server, for example, determining the bit error rate, the transmission speed, or / according to the message replied by the network server. And transmission delays, etc.

The target determining module 330 is configured to determine, in the at least one virtual SIM card, that the communication service quality corresponding to the at least one virtual SIM card of the downloaded virtual SIM card meets a required threshold of the currently used communication service A virtual SIM card is used as the target virtual SIM card.

Specifically, the target determining module 330 can obtain the virtual SIM card in which the communication service quality can meet the demand threshold of the currently used communication service by the communication service quality corresponding to all the downloaded virtual SIM cards detected in the quality detecting module 320.

It should be noted that the virtual SIM card whose communication service quality can meet the demand threshold of the currently used communication service may be one or more. When the communication service quality corresponding to only one virtual SIM card of all the downloaded virtual SIM cards meets the required threshold of the currently used communication service, the target determining module 330 may directly determine that the virtual SIM card is the target virtual SIM card; When there are multiple virtual SIM cards whose communication service quality can meet the demand threshold of the currently used communication service, the target determination module 330 may randomly select one of the virtual SIM cards as the target virtual SIM card, or according to a certain Predetermined rules, such as selecting the earliest download date, the highest usage rate, or the best communication service quality, etc., determine the target virtual SIM card.

The target determining module 330 is configured to:

Determining, as the target virtual SIM card, a virtual SIM card with the best communication service quality in the at least one virtual SIM card.

Specifically, the target determining module 330 can obtain the communication in the virtual SIM card whose communication service quality can meet the demand threshold of the currently used communication service by the communication service quality corresponding to all the downloaded virtual SIM cards detected in the quality detecting module 320. The virtual SIM card with the best quality of service is used as the target virtual SIM card.

In an embodiment, a plurality of virtual SIM cards whose communication service quality can meet the demand threshold of the currently used communication service, in the virtual SIM card where the plurality of communication service qualities can meet the demand threshold of the currently used communication service, the terminal The virtual SIM card with the best communication service quality can be selected as the target virtual SIM card according to the detection result of the quality detecting module 320.

For example, if the demand threshold of the currently used communication service is 0.4, it is detected that the communication service quality of the three virtual SIM cards A, B, and C in the downloaded virtual SIM card is greater than or equal to 0.4, and the communication service quality is A. 0.5, B is 0.7, and C is 0.4. The target determining module 330 can determine that the B is the virtual SIM card with the best communication service quality, and can determine that B is the target virtual SIM card.

The target determining module 330 is configured to:

Determining a virtual SIM card with the highest priority among the at least one virtual SIM card as the target virtual SIM card.

Specifically, the user can preset the priority of the downloaded virtual SIM card. For example, the priority of the card 1 with a preset recharge amount is 1 and the priority of the non-common card 2 is 2. After obtaining the priority of the virtual SIM card, the determining module 330 may determine which virtual SIM card to acquire as the target virtual SIM card according to the priority order. In the above example, the target determination module 330 can select the card 1 of priority 1 as the target virtual SIM card.

The logout activation module 340 is configured to log out the virtual SIM card in the activated state, and activate the target virtual SIM card to perform the communication service.

Specifically, after the target determining module 330 determines that the communication service quality meets the target virtual SIM card of the currently used communication service demand threshold, the logout activation module 340 can log out the activated virtual SIM card and activate the target virtual SIM card. To carry out the communication service currently in use.

For example, if the terminal only has a single SIM card chip, the logout activation module 340 can erase the activated virtual SIM card in the SIM card chip and load the target virtual SIM card, so that the target virtual SIM card is used as the user. The virtual SIM card, in turn, can perform the currently used communication services, such as re-dialing to complete a better call experience.

For another example, if there are two SIM card chips in the terminal, and the currently used communication service is live video, the logout activation module 340 can stop the use of the virtual SIM card in the active state of the first SIM card chip in the live broadcast of the video service.
