detailed description

For a better understanding of the technical solutions of the present application, the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

It should be understood that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without departing from the inventive scope are the scope of the present application.

The terms used in the embodiments of the present application are for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only, and are not intended to limit the application. The singular forms "a", "the", and "the"

The embodiment of the present application provides a control method for a soft SIM, which is applicable to a communication system having a soft SIM function. The system is composed of a soft SIM server, a terminal, and a carrier network corresponding to the soft SIM. The terminal may generally include a soft SIM client, a location information module, and a soft SIM module. The method may be generally performed by a soft SIM client of the terminal. As shown in FIG. 2, the method includes:

101. Obtain usage area information corresponding to the soft SIM.

The usage area information is used to indicate the network coverage that the soft SIM operator can provide, and can be identified by using a geographic location parameter such as a GPS or a mobile network cell identifier.

102. Detect, according to the used area information and the current location of the terminal, whether the terminal is in a signal use area of an operator network corresponding to the soft SIM.

Wherein, the current location of the terminal and the expression of the usage area information are generally required to be consistent. For example, if the GPS information is used by using the area information, the current location of the terminal generally uses the GPS identifier. If the area information is used, the mobile network cell identifier is used to divide the terminal. The current location also generally uses the mobile network cell identity.

103. When it is detected that the terminal is in a signal use area of a carrier network corresponding to the soft SIM, the soft SIM is started to access an operator network corresponding to the soft SIM.

It can be understood that if the terminal is not in the signal use area of the operator network corresponding to the soft SIM, it is not necessary to start the soft SIM.

The method for controlling the soft SIM provided by the embodiment of the present application obtains the coverage of the current location of the terminal and the network of the soft SIM carrier, and detects whether the terminal is in the coverage of the soft SIM carrier network, and only when the terminal enters the coverage After the range, the soft SIM can be started. The method provided by the embodiment of the present application can more accurately select the use position and timing of the soft SIM for the user, and improve the normal use of the soft SIM by the user to some extent. The probability.

With the foregoing method flow, in another implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, the implementation of obtaining the usage area information corresponding to the soft SIM in step 101 provides the following two implementation manners.

The first method, the flow of which is shown in Figure 3, includes:

A101. Obtain the usage area information delivered by the soft SIM server.

In this method, the soft SIM server can actively deliver the usage area information when establishing a connection with the soft SIM client. The way to establish a connection may be through a mobile communication network such as 3G or 4G, WIFI, and the like.

The second method, whose process is shown in Figure 4, includes:

B1011: Send a usage area information acquisition request to the soft SIM server.

The usage area information acquisition request carries the identification information of the soft SIM.

B1012: Acquire first response information corresponding to the usage area information acquisition request returned by the soft SIM server, where the first response information carries the usage area information.

In this method, after establishing a connection with the soft SIM server, the soft SIM client needs to initiate a request to the soft SIM server actively, and the soft SIM server will feedback the use area information when responding to the request.

In the above two methods, the usage area information needs to be pre-configured in the soft SIM server, and can be modified in real time according to actual needs.

With reference to the foregoing method, in another implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, the step 102 is used to detect, according to the usage area information and the current location of the terminal, whether the terminal is in the signal use of the operator network corresponding to the soft SIM. Implementations in the region provide the following two implementations.

The first method, the flow of which is shown in Figure 5, includes:

A 1031, a location detection request is sent to the location information module in the user terminal, where the location detection request carries the usage area information, so that the location information module detects whether the terminal is in accordance with the usage area information and the current location of the terminal. The signal usage area of the carrier network corresponding to the soft SIM.

The location information module is a function module for providing current location information of the user, and may be a GPS positioning module, a Beidou positioning module, a mobile communication module such as 3G or 4G, a WIFI communication module, and the like. The location information module can be set independently or integrated inside the terminal.

A 1032, the second response information corresponding to the location detection request returned by the location information module is obtained, where the second response information carries whether the terminal is in a signal usage area of a carrier network corresponding to the soft SIM. Test results.

A1033. According to the detection result, detecting whether the terminal is in a signal use area of a carrier network corresponding to the soft SIM.

In this method, the detection process is performed by the location information module, and the soft SIM client only needs to send the usage area information acquired from the soft SIM server to the location information module, and then wait for the detection result of the location information module to reply. The specific detection process is to detect whether the location point where the terminal is actually located falls within each signal use area indicated by the usage area information.

The second method, whose process is shown in Figure 6, includes:

B1031: Obtain current location information of the terminal sent by a location information module inside the user terminal.

B1032, detecting, according to the use area information and the current location information of the terminal, whether the terminal is in a signal use area of a carrier network corresponding to the soft SIM.

In this method, unlike the first method, the location information module does not need to detect itself, and only needs to send the current location information of the user to the soft SIM client, and then the soft SIM client can detect it by itself.

In addition, in order to facilitate the user to understand the current soft SIM usage, the soft SIM client can also prompt the user to start the soft SIM in addition to launching the soft SIM, to ask the user whether to open the soft SIM, and then according to the user. Select to perform the follow-up process. In the other embodiment of the embodiment of the present application, a corresponding implementation manner is given, which is as follows. The flow is as shown in FIG. 7 and includes:

101. Obtain usage area information corresponding to the soft SIM.

201. When it is detected that the terminal is in a signal use area of the operator network corresponding to the soft SIM, the first query information is output, where the first query information is used to query whether the user currently activates the soft SIM.

103. Start the soft SIM according to user input to access an operator network corresponding to the soft SIM.

Step 201 is a process of asking a user.

Of course, if the user refuses to start the information, the soft SIM can be not activated according to the user's needs, but the current network access mode is maintained.

Correspondingly, after the terminal moves out of the coverage of the soft SIM carrier network, the soft SIM needs to be closed in time to ensure normal communication of the user. Therefore, when the terminal uses the soft SIM to access the carrier network, it is necessary to monitor in real time whether the terminal is still within the coverage of the soft SIM carrier network. In another implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, a corresponding implementation method is provided. After the step 103 is performed, as shown in FIG. 8 , the method includes:

104. Re-detect whether the terminal is in a signal use area of a carrier network corresponding to the soft SIM.

When the terminal is not in the signal use area of the operator network corresponding to the soft SIM, the soft SIM is closed to exit the carrier network corresponding to the soft SIM.

Similarly, similar to the startup process, in order to facilitate the user to understand the current use of the soft SIM, in the process of closing the soft SIM, the soft SIM client may prompt the user to close the soft SIM, in order to ask the user whether it is needed. Close the soft SIM and follow the user selection to perform the subsequent process. In the other embodiment of the embodiment of the present application, a corresponding implementation manner is provided, which is as follows. The flow is as shown in FIG. 9 and includes:

The re-detection process is similar to the initial detection process. For the two implementations, such as 5 and FIG. 6, the details are not described here.

301. When detecting that the terminal is not in the signal use area of the operator network corresponding to the soft SIM, outputting second query information, where the second query information is used to query whether the user stops the current service operation.

105. Close the soft SIM according to user input to exit the carrier network corresponding to the soft SIM, and end the current service at the same time.

Step 301 is a process of asking a user.

Of course, if the user refuses to stop the information, the service running on the soft SIM can be maintained according to the user's needs. At this time, it is necessary to continue the current running service after starting the local SIM card.

With reference to the system architecture shown in FIG. 1 and the foregoing various method flows, the embodiment of the present application provides two optional specific implementation manners in order to explain the overall workflow provided by the embodiments of the present application.
