Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the exemplary embodiments below are not intended to represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.

In the related art, the mobile phone uses the wrong configuration file to access the network of the operator, so that the service functions provided by the operator are limited for the user. In the embodiment of the disclosure, a technical scheme for accurately acquiring a correct configuration file is provided.

In the method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the execution subject of each step may be a terminal equipped with a SIM card, for example, the terminal may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), a wearable device, and the like. For convenience of explanation, in the following method embodiments, only the execution subject of each step is described as a terminal, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

FIG. 1 is a flow diagram illustrating a method of loading a configuration file according to an exemplary embodiment, which may include the steps of:

in step 101, the ICCID of the SIM card assembled by the terminal is acquired.

And the terminal acquires the ICCID of the SIM card assembled at the terminal. The terminal detects whether the SIM card is assembled or not after being powered on and started up, and acquires the ICCID of the SIM card after detecting that the SIM card is assembled. The ICCID is a unique identification number of the SIM card, and is composed of 20 digits, where the first six digits are operator codes, for example, the operator code of the chinese mobile is: 898600 and 898602, the carrier codes of china unicom are: 898601 and 898609, carrier codes of chinese telecommunications are: 898603, and 898606.

In step 102, a first profile corresponding to the ICCID is obtained from a set of profiles.

The configuration file of the terminal stores the configuration files of a plurality of operators in a centralized way, and the configuration files are used for supporting the terminal to access the network provided by the operator corresponding to the configuration file, wherein the plurality of operators at least comprises two operators. The configuration file set comprises configuration files corresponding to a plurality of operators. And the terminal acquires a corresponding first configuration file according to the ICCID, wherein the first configuration file is one configuration file in a configuration file set.

Optionally, the terminal obtains an operator code in the ICCID, where the operator code is used to indicate an operator corresponding to the ICCID. One operator may correspond to one or more operator codes. When one operator corresponds to multiple operator codes, the multiple operator codes correspond to the same configuration file, that is, there is a one-to-one correspondence between the operators and the configuration files. After the terminal acquires the operator code, searching and acquiring a first identifier corresponding to the operator code in the ICCID from a first preset corresponding relation, wherein the first preset corresponding relation comprises the corresponding relation between the operator code and the identifier of the configuration file. And the terminal acquires a first configuration file corresponding to the first identifier from the configuration file set.

Illustratively, the first predetermined correspondence is shown in Table-1 below

Operator code	Identification of configuration files
		898600	001
898601	002
		898603	003
…	…

TABLE-1

Let the operator code of ICCID be 898600, and the identifier of the corresponding profile in the first predetermined correspondence is 001, i.e. the first identifier. After the terminal acquires the first identifier 001, the terminal acquires a corresponding first configuration file from the configuration file set according to the first identifier. The first preset correspondence shown in the above table-1 is only exemplary and explanatory and is not intended to limit the present disclosure.

In step 103, a first configuration file is loaded.

And after the terminal acquires the first configuration file, loading the first configuration file, and accessing the network of the operator corresponding to the ICCID of the assembled SIM card according to the configuration information in the first configuration file. Illustratively, the configuration information includes frequency band information of an operator, carrier aggregation information, protocol version information, and Long Term Evolution (LTE) capability information, and the like.

Optionally, if the terminal does not obtain the first configuration file corresponding to the ICCID from the configuration file set, loading a general configuration file, where the general configuration file refers to a configuration file that can support accessing to a network of any operator and use basic service functions. Although the terminal can access any operator network through the common profile, it can only use the basic service functions provided by the one operator network it accesses. By the above way, it is ensured that the terminal can use the basic service functions provided by the operator, such as: a second Generation mobile phone communication specification (2-Generation wireless telephone Technology, 2G) network can be used.

It should be noted that the general profile can support access to a network of any one of a plurality of different operators, but the number of operator networks that the terminal accesses at a certain time through the general profile is one, that is, only one of any operator networks can be accessed at a time.

In step 104, the network attribution information recorded in the SIM card is acquired.

And the terminal acquires network attribution information in the assembled SIM card, wherein the network attribution information comprises MCC and MNC.

Because the terminal may load an incorrect configuration file only according to the target ICCID, the MCC and MNC are acquired to perform the detection steps described later, ensuring that the terminal loads a correct configuration file. MCC is uniformly assigned and managed by the international telecommunications union for indicating the country to which a mobile subscriber belongs, and consists of 3 digits. For example, MCC 460 in China. The MNC is used for indicating a mobile communication network to which a mobile user belongs, and is composed of 2-3 digits, and if multiple operators exist in one country, the operators of the SIM card are distinguished through the MNC, for example, China Mobile uses 00, 02, 04 and 07. Thus, the country and operator to which the SIM card belongs can be determined by the MCC and MNC.

In step 105, a second profile corresponding to the network attribution information is obtained from the set of profiles.

And the terminal acquires a corresponding second configuration file according to the network attribution information, wherein the second configuration file is one configuration file in the configuration file set.

Optionally, after obtaining the network attribution information, the terminal searches for a second identifier corresponding to the network attribution information from a second preset corresponding relationship, where the second preset corresponding relationship includes a corresponding relationship between the network attribution information and an identifier of the configuration file. And the terminal acquires a second configuration file corresponding to the second identifier from the configuration file set.

Illustratively, the second predetermined correspondence is shown in Table-2 below

MCC	MNC	Identification of configuration files
			460	00	001
460	02	003
			460	03	002

TABLE-2

Assuming that the network attribution information is 460 and 02, and the identifier of the configuration file corresponding to the network attribution information in the second preset corresponding relationship is 002, i.e. the second identifier, the terminal obtains the identifier 002, and the configuration file corresponding to the identifier 002 is the second configuration file. The second predetermined correspondence shown in the above table-2 is only exemplary and explanatory and is not intended to limit the present disclosure.

Optionally, if the terminal does not acquire the second configuration file corresponding to the network attribution information from the configuration file set, the process is ended.

In step 106, detecting whether the loaded configuration file and the second configuration file are the same; if yes, ending the process; if not, go to step 107.

Because the operator cannot strictly control the allocation of the ICCID of the SIM card, part of the SIMs cannot be allocated to the ICCID containing the operator code corresponding to the operator to which the SIM card belongs. For example, the operator code in the ICCID of a SIM card belonging to china mobile is the operator code of china unicom. Therefore, the terminal loads the wrong configuration file according to the ICCID.

The terminal detects whether the loaded configuration file is correct or not by detecting whether the loaded configuration file is the same as the second configuration file or not; if the configuration files are the same, the configuration files corresponding to the operators to which the SIM cards belong are loaded, namely the correct configuration files are loaded; if the configuration files are different, the configuration files with errors are loaded.

The loaded configuration file may be the first configuration file or the general configuration file.

Optionally, the terminal determines whether the loaded configuration file and the second configuration file are the same by detecting whether the identifier of the loaded configuration file and the identifier of the second configuration file are the same; if the identifications are the same. The loaded configuration file is the same as the second configuration file; and if the identifiers are not the same, the loaded configuration file is not the same as the second configuration file.

In step 107, a second configuration file is loaded.

And after the terminal acquires the second configuration file, loading the second configuration file, and accessing to the network of the operator corresponding to the network attribution information.

Optionally, in a case where the first configuration file and the second configuration file are different, the correspondence between the ICCID and the identifier of the second configuration file is stored. And the terminal records the corresponding relation between the ICCID and the identifier of the second configuration file into a third preset corresponding relation. After the terminal is started and detects the assembled SIM card, the terminal firstly searches whether the identifier of the configuration file corresponding to the ICCID exists in the third preset corresponding relation; if the identifier of the configuration file is obtained through searching, obtaining and loading the corresponding configuration file according to the identifier of the configuration file; if the identifier of the configuration file is not found and obtained, the step 102 is started to execute.

Illustratively, the identifier of the profile corresponding to the ICCID in the first preset correspondence is 001, while the first profile corresponding to the identifier 001 is different from the second profile obtained by the terminal according to the network attribution information, and the identifier of the second profile is 002, then the terminal stores the correspondence between the ICCID and the identifier 002 of the second profile in the third preset correspondence.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, after loading the corresponding configuration file according to the ICCID of the SIM card, it is further verified whether the previously loaded configuration file is accurate according to the MCC and MNC recorded in the SIM card, so as to ensure that the terminal can load the correct configuration file. And, compared with acquiring MCC and MNC, ICCID can be acquired more quickly, so by loading the configuration file determined according to ICCID first, it is ensured that the service function of the operator can be provided to the user quickly.
