[ detailed description ] embodiments

It should be understood that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
The terminology used in the embodiments of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. As used in the examples of the present invention and the appended claims, the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
The embodiment of the invention provides a control method of a soft SIM, which is suitable for a communication system with a soft SIM function, the composition of the system is shown in figure 1, the system comprises a soft SIM server, a terminal and an operator network corresponding to the soft SIM, the terminal can generally comprise a soft SIM client, a position information module and a soft SIM module, the method can be generally completed by the soft SIM client of the terminal, as shown in figure 2, the method comprises the following steps:
101. and acquiring the use area information corresponding to the soft SIM.
The use area information is used to indicate a network coverage area that can be provided by the soft SIM operator, and may be identified by using geographic location parameters such as GPS, mobile network cell identification, and the like.
102. And detecting whether the terminal is in a signal use area of an operator network corresponding to the soft SIM or not according to the use area information and the current position of the terminal.
For example, if the area information is divided by using the cell identifier of the mobile network, the current location of the terminal generally uses the cell identifier of the mobile network.
103. And when the terminal is detected to be in the signal use area of the operator network corresponding to the soft SIM, starting the soft SIM to access the 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, the soft SIM does not need to be activated.
According to the control method of the soft SIM provided by the embodiment of the invention, the current position of the terminal and the coverage condition of the soft SIM operator network are obtained, whether the terminal is in the coverage range of the soft SIM operator network is detected based on the current position and the coverage condition of the soft SIM operator network, and the soft SIM can be started only after the terminal enters the coverage range. Compared with the prior art that the user autonomously selects the using place of the soft SIM, the method provided by the embodiment of the invention can more accurately select the using position and the using time of the soft SIM for the user, and improves the probability of normally using the soft SIM by the user to a certain extent.
With reference to the foregoing method flow, in another implementation manner of the embodiment of the present invention, the following two implementation manners are provided for implementing obtaining of the usage area information corresponding to the soft SIM in step 101.
The first method, the flow of which is shown in fig. 3, includes:
and A101, acquiring the use area information issued by the soft SIM server.
In this method, the soft SIM server may actively issue the usage area information when establishing a connection with the soft SIM client. The connection can be established through a 3G, 4G, or other mobile communication network, WIFI, or the like.
The second method, the flow of which is shown in fig. 4, includes:
and B1011, sending a using area information acquisition request to the soft SIM server.
Wherein the use area information acquisition request carries identification information of the soft SIM.
And B1012, acquiring first response information corresponding to the using area information acquiring request returned by the soft SIM server, wherein the first response information carries the using area information.
In the method, after establishing connection with the soft SIM server, the soft SIM client needs to actively initiate a request to the soft SIM server, and the soft SIM server feeds back the use area information when responding to the request.
In the above two methods, the used area information is required 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 flow, in another implementation manner of the embodiment of the present invention, the following two implementation manners are provided for the implementation that, in step 102, whether the terminal is located in the signal use area of the operator network corresponding to the soft SIM is detected according to the use area information and the current location of the terminal.
The first method, the flow of which is shown in fig. 5, includes:
and A1031, sending a position detection request to a position information module in the user terminal, wherein the position detection request carries the using area information, so that the position information module detects whether the terminal is in a signal using area of an operator network corresponding to the soft SIM or not according to the using area information and the current position of the terminal.
The position information module is a functional module used for providing current position information of a user, and can be a GPS (global positioning system) positioning module, a Beidou positioning module, a 3G or 4G mobile communication module, a WIFI (wireless fidelity) communication module and the like. The position information module can be independently arranged or integrated in the terminal.
A1032, obtaining second response information corresponding to the location detection request returned by the location information module, where the second response information carries a detection result of whether the terminal is in a signal use area of an operator network corresponding to the soft SIM.
A1033, according to the detection result, detecting whether the terminal is in a signal use area of an operator network corresponding to the soft SIM.
In the method, the detection process is executed by the position information module, and the soft SIM client only needs to send the use area information acquired from the soft SIM server to the position information module and then waits for the detection result replied by the position information module. The specific detection flow is to detect whether the actual position point of the terminal falls into each signal use area indicated by the use area information.
The second method, the flow of which is shown in fig. 6, includes:
and B1031, acquiring the current position information of the terminal sent by the position information module in the user terminal.
B1032, detecting whether the terminal is in a signal use area of an operator network corresponding to the soft SIM according to the use area information and the current location information of the terminal.
In this method, unlike the first method, the location information module does not need to detect itself, but only needs to send the current location information of the user to the soft SIM client, and then the soft SIM client detects itself.
In addition, in order to facilitate the user to know the use condition of the current soft SIM, the soft SIM client can prompt the user when operating the soft SIM, besides automatically starting the soft SIM, so as to inquire whether the user needs to start the soft SIM, and then execute the subsequent process according to the selection of the user. In another implementation manner of the embodiment of the present invention, the process of starting a soft SIM autonomously based on a user provides a corresponding implementation manner, and specifically, as shown in fig. 7, the process includes:
101. and acquiring the use area information corresponding to the soft SIM.
102. And detecting whether the terminal is in a signal use area of an operator network corresponding to the soft SIM or not according to the use area information and the current position of the terminal.
201. When the terminal is detected to be in a signal use area of an operator network corresponding to the soft SIM, outputting first inquiry information, wherein the first inquiry information is used for inquiring whether a user starts the soft SIM currently;
103. and starting the soft SIM according to the user input so as to access the operator network corresponding to the soft SIM.
Step 201 is the process of querying the user.
Of course, after the start rejection information of the user is obtained, the soft SIM may not be started according to the user requirement, but the current network access mode is maintained unchanged.
Accordingly, when the terminal moves out of the coverage of the soft SIM operator 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 operator network, it needs to monitor in real time whether the terminal is still in the coverage of the soft SIM operator network. In another implementation manner of the embodiment of the present invention, a corresponding implementation method is provided, which is executed after step 103, and specifically as shown in fig. 8, includes:
104. and re-detecting whether the terminal is in a signal use area of an operator network corresponding to the soft SIM.
105. And when the terminal is detected not to be in the signal use area of the operator network corresponding to the soft SIM, closing the soft SIM to exit the operator network corresponding to the soft SIM.
Similarly, similar to the starting process, in order to facilitate the user to know the use condition of the current soft SIM, in the process of closing the soft SIM, the soft SIM client may prompt the user first except for closing the soft SIM by itself, so as to inquire whether the user needs to close the soft SIM, and then execute the subsequent process according to the user selection. In another implementation manner of the embodiment of the present invention, the process of autonomously closing a soft SIM by a user is implemented as follows, and the flow is shown in fig. 9 and includes:
104. and re-detecting whether the terminal is in a signal use area of an operator network corresponding to the soft SIM.
The re-detection process is similar to the initial detection process, and reference may be made to two implementation manners corresponding to fig. 5 and fig. 6, which are not described herein again.
301. And when detecting that the terminal is not in the signal use area of the operator network corresponding to the soft SIM, outputting second inquiry information, wherein the second inquiry information is used for inquiring whether the user stops the current service operation currently.
105. And closing the soft SIM according to the user input so as to quit the operator network corresponding to the soft SIM and end the current service.
Step 301 is the process of querying the user.
Of course, after the stop rejection information of the user is obtained, the service running on the soft SIM may be maintained according to the user requirement, and at this time, the service needs to be currently run at a subsequent position after the local SIM card is started.
In conjunction with the system architecture shown in fig. 1 and the aforementioned method flows, the embodiment of the present invention provides two alternative specific implementation manners to illustrate the overall work flow provided by the embodiment of the present invention.
A first alternative method flow is shown in fig. 10, and includes:
401. the soft SIM client acquires the use area information issued by the soft SIM server.
402. And the soft SIM client acquires the current position information of the terminal sent by the position information module.
403. And according to the using area information and the current position information of the terminal, the soft SIM client detects whether the terminal is in a signal using area of an operator network corresponding to the soft SIM.

407. And when detecting that the terminal is not in the signal use area of the operator network corresponding to the soft SIM, the soft SIM client closes the soft SIM module so as to exit the operator network corresponding to the soft SIM.

501. and the soft SIM client sends a using area information acquisition request to the soft SIM server.
Wherein the use area information acquisition request carries identification information of the soft SIM.
502. And the soft SIM server returns first response information corresponding to the using area information acquiring request to the soft SIM client, wherein the first response information carries the using area information.
503. And the soft SIM client sends a position detection request to a position information module, wherein the position detection request carries the using area information.
504. And the position information module detects whether the terminal is in a signal use area of an operator network corresponding to the soft SIM or not according to the use area information and the current position of the terminal.
505. And the position information module returns second response information corresponding to the position detection request to the soft SIM client, wherein the second response information carries a detection result of whether the terminal is in a signal use area of an operator network corresponding to the soft SIM.
