Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of communication, in particular to a method and a system for configuring an electronic Subscriber identity Module (eSIM) card based on the Internet of things.
Background
The SIM card is a kind of smart card provided by mobile communication operators to users, and is used for identity authentication when the terminal accesses the mobile network. The traditional SIM card is an independent physical card, a user inserts the SIM card into a card slot of a mobile terminal, and when the terminal accesses a mobile network, the user can use the number and the password in the SIM card to finish authentication. In the prior art, because the embedded SIM card used on the terminal needs to write network authentication data when the SIM card is produced, which brings inconvenience to the terminal production and the equipment use, the network authentication data (number, password, etc.) in the SIM card needs to be written when the SIM card is produced, and cannot be changed once leaving the factory, and two problems are brought: 1. the terminal equipment is inconvenient to produce. Because the SIM card is welded on the terminal, the terminal can not be produced at will, the terminal manufacturer can order the SIM card only after the end user agrees with a communication operator and determines the number to be used, and the terminal manufacturer can produce the terminal, so the production period is long and the cost is high. 2. The terminal is inconvenient to use. If the terminal user wants to change the operator or the number in the using process, the operation cannot be realized. The electronic SIM card (or eSIM) technology is an optimization of embedded SIM cards, and has been successfully applied in the public consumer market. The electronic SIM card is not inserted into a card slot of the terminal in a card form, but exists in a chip form, and is welded on a circuit board of the terminal during terminal production, so that the defects that the plug-in SIM card is easy to damage and needs manual operation and the like are overcome.
However, in the prior art, although some standards, such as the GSMA sgp.22 standard, define the basic framework of the eSIM card as that a customer provides the serial number (eUICC ID, i.e. EID) of a terminal to an operator, a mobile operator opens a service for the customer, a piece of eSIM card (data file) is made for each terminal of the customer, and an electronic card is stored in a background database of the operator and bound with the EID of the customer. The operator generates the download information of the electronic card into an activation code and provides the activation code for the customer, and the customer inputs the activation code into the mobile terminal to trigger the mobile terminal to download the electronic card, so that the terminal can access the mobile network to obtain services. However, when the eSIM card is applied to an industry internet of things scenario, multiple eSIM cards are generally required to be configured in the application of the industry internet of things, and in the prior art, when the eSIM card is applied to the industry internet of things, one eSIM card is required to be configured each time, which causes a low configuration efficiency for the eSIM card.

Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of an eSIM card configuration system based on the internet of things according to the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the eSIM card configuration system based on the internet of things provided by this embodiment includes: the system comprises a plurality of terminals, a service ordering platform, an eSIM card management platform, an Internet of things configuration platform and a customer service platform.
The service ordering platform is used for receiving a terminal list sent by a user and sending the terminal list to the eSIM card management platform, wherein the terminal list comprises identification information of a plurality of terminals; the method comprises the steps that after an eSIM card management platform respectively configures eSIM cards for a plurality of terminals in a terminal list, information of the eSIM cards of the plurality of terminals is sent to a service ordering platform; the service ordering platform sends the eSIM card information of the terminals to the Internet of things configuration platform so that the Internet of things configuration platform can perform network configuration on the terminals according to the eSIM card information; the service ordering platform sends the eSIM card information of the terminals to a user, the user sends the eSIM card information of the terminals to a client service platform, and the client service platform records the eSIM card information of the terminals; and each terminal is connected with the client service platform when being started, and the eSIM card corresponding to the terminal is determined according to the eSIM card information of the plurality of terminals recorded in the client service platform.
Specifically, the service ordering platform, the eSIM card management platform, the internet of things configuration platform, and the client service platform in this embodiment may be electronic devices with related data processing functions, such as a computer, a server, a workstation, and the like, so as to implement the functions in this application. In the eSIM card configuration system provided in this embodiment, all terminals are internet of things terminals using eSIM cards, and it is necessary to access the internet of things through the eSIM cards and execute corresponding functions. The terminal can be any electronic equipment with the data processing function of the Internet of things, a monitoring camera, a water, electricity and gas measuring instrument, industrial manufacturing machinery, intelligent lighting equipment, agricultural automation equipment, medical equipment and the like. Further, the internet of things in this embodiment refers to any industry internet of things, or any internet of things system that realizes a certain industry function. For example: in a crops operation thing networking, including surveillance camera head and a plurality of automatic sowing equipment, surveillance camera head and a plurality of automatic sowing equipment all use the management equipment of eSIM card income crops operation thing networking in order to access into the thing networking, and when crops operation thing networking operation, the image information of treating the seeding region can be gathered to the surveillance camera head, if treat that the seeding region is leveled can sow then automatic sowing equipment of management equipment control is sowing in treating the seeding region and is sowed. It should be noted that the example herein is only used to illustrate a scenario in which the eSIM card configuration is applied in this embodiment, and other internet of things systems or terminals implementing other functions are also within the scope of the present application.
As shown in fig. 1, when a user of the internet of things needs to access a terminal used by the user to an operator of the internet of things, the user first logs in a service subscription platform provided by the operator to apply for an eSIM card for the terminal of the internet of things to the operator, so that the terminal accesses the internet of things and communicates using the applied eSIM card. Specifically, first, after a user logs in a service subscription platform by using identification information thereof, such as a user name and a password, a list of used terminals to be accessed to the internet of things is sent to the service subscription platform. The EID of each terminal can be used as the identification information, and a user sends the EIDs of the terminals to be accessed to the Internet of things to a service ordering platform in an EID light mode. Alternatively, the EID list may be exported from the customer service platform and edited by the customer by other methods and returned to the customer service platform so that the format of the EID list returned by the customer conforms to the requirements of the service subscription platform. Optionally, in this implementation, the user may connect to the service ordering platform through an electronic device, such as a mobile phone or a computer, which has data processing and communication functions, through the internet, and log in to the service ordering platform through the user identifier. Similarly, the connection lines between all the units shown in fig. 1 may be a connection relationship through the internet, and the connection relationship is not limited to a wired connection or a wireless connection manner.
And after receiving the terminal list such as the EID list sent by the user, the service ordering platform sends the EID list to the eSIM card management platform. And allocating an eSIM card for each terminal requested by the user by the eSIM card management platform, and establishing a unique mapping relation between each generated eSIM card and the EID of the terminal. Meanwhile, the eSIM card management platform also generates an activation code for each terminal to which the eSIM card is allocated, so that a user can activate the eSIM allocated to the terminal when using the terminal according to the activation code. The format of the activation code can be implemented by referring to the definition in the existing standard GSMA SGP.22. And finally, after configuring the eSIM cards for all the terminals in the terminal list, the eSIM card management platform returns the configured eSIM card information of all the terminals to the service subscription platform. The returned eSIM card information may be an activation code list of terminals configured with the eSIM card, where each entry in the activation code list corresponds to one terminal in the terminal list, and the content of each entry in the activation code list may include: the EID of the terminal, the information of the eSIM card and the activation code of the eSIM card.
And after receiving the information of the eSIM card sent by the eSIM card management platform, the service ordering platform sends the information to the Internet of things management platform, so that the Internet of things management platform completes network configuration of the terminal for configuring the eSIM card according to the received information of the eSIM card. After the internet of things management platform completes network configuration, the service ordering platform can be notified in a notification message mode, and then the service ordering platform immediately notifies a user to download the configured eSIM card information of the terminal, namely the activation code list of the eSIM card, at that time by sending a short message, sending push information and the like.
And after the user downloads the information of the eSIM card from the service subscription platform, the information of the eSIM card is sent and uploaded to the client service platform, and the client service platform records the information of the eSIM card of the terminal configured by the service subscription platform. The client service platform is used for recording states and configuration information of all terminals, that is, the internet of things management platform, the service subscription platform and the eSIM card management platform on the left side in fig. 1 may be devices provided by an operator and used for configuring terminals, and the client service platform and the terminal on the right side in fig. 1 may be used by a user in different application scenarios of the internet of things, and the terminal is managed through the client service platform. The terminal recorded by the customer service platform may be a terminal related to the user, that is, a terminal used by the service purchased by the user or a terminal purchased by the user, or may also record all terminals in a certain industry internet of things. For example: the customer service platform also stores terminal information of the plurality of terminals, and the terminal information at least comprises the number (such as the serial number IMEI and the like) of the terminal and the temporary eSIM card number of the terminal. The client service platform can store the data such as the information of each terminal, the information of the eSIM card of each terminal, the activation code information of the eSIM card and the like into a storage directory corresponding to each corresponding terminal, and mark the terminal for updating the information of the eSIM card as the state of the eSIM card to be configured.
Finally, the user configures the eSIM card by the service ordering platform, the terminal of the eSIM card information recorded by the client service platform is started, and the terminal searches the corresponding eSIM card information of the terminal according to the information recorded in the client service platform to determine the eSIM card corresponding to the terminal and complete the configuration of the eSIM card on the terminal.
Specifically, for each terminal, after the terminal is connected to a client service platform when the terminal is powered on, sending eSIM card information of the terminal to the client service platform, and judging whether the eSIM card information sent by the terminal is consistent with eSIM card information of the terminal recorded in the service platform by the client service platform; if not, the client service platform sends an update instruction to the terminal, so that the terminal determines the address of the eSIM card management platform from the client service platform according to the update instruction; and the terminal is connected with the eSIM card management platform according to the address of the eSIM card management platform, downloads and installs the eSIM card corresponding to the terminal through the eSIM card management platform, and marks the original eSIM card used by the terminal as a deactivated state. If the correspondence indicates that the terminal eSIM card is not changed, the operation is not required to be executed. Further, if the user can determine that the opened terminals are all terminals of newly configured eSIM cards, the determination may not need to be performed.
The method and the system for configuring the eSIM card based on the Internet of things are provided by combining the characteristics of the eSIM card of the Internet of things configuration terminal, and can simultaneously configure the eSIM cards for a plurality of terminals accessed to the Internet of things, thereby improving the configuration efficiency.
Optionally, in the above embodiment, the plurality of terminals each include a temporary eSIM card; when the terminal is started for the first time, the terminal connects the customer service platform by using the temporary eSIM card and sends the information of the temporary eSIM card to the customer service platform. Specifically, since a terminal newly shipped from a factory or newly purchased by a user cannot access a customer service platform through a network when the terminal is used for the first time, in this embodiment, a temporary eSIM card is allocated to the terminal used for the first time, and the temporary eSIM card is only used for implementing a function related to the first configuration of the terminal and cannot be used for implementing a specific service of the internet of things, and meanwhile, the eSIM card allocated to each terminal is recorded on an internet of things management platform of an allocated operator.
Optionally, in the above embodiment, when the internet of things configuration platform detects that traffic generated by accumulating the temporary eSIM cards used by any terminal that has configured the temporary eSIM cards is greater than a preset threshold, the internet of things configuration platform stops network configuration on the terminal and recovers the eSIM cards configured by the terminal, where the internet of things management platform may recover the temporary eSIM cards of the terminal by deleting the network configuration of the temporary eSIM cards of the terminal. .
Optionally, the system in the above embodiment is not limited to be used when the terminal is configured with the eSIM card for the first time, for example, when an operator or a customer needs to replace the eSIM card of the terminal, the related flow of the system in the above embodiment may also be used, and the implementation manner is the same as the principle, and is not described again.
More specifically, in the system shown in fig. 1, in order to enable the terminal to have an initial networking capability, a temporary electronic SIM card needs to be preset before the terminal leaves a factory, and the temporary card is only used for implementing an initial configuration function of the terminal and is not used for implementing a service function. Meanwhile, the temporary SIM card has a record on the operator Internet of things platform. Because an industry client generally needs to configure a plurality of terminals at the same time, the information of the terminals needs to be stored in a terminal database of a client service platform in advance, and the information of each terminal at least comprises: the terminal number EID and the number ICCID of the temporary electronic SIM card. The process of configuring multiple terminals in the system shown in fig. 1 includes:
1. the customer logs in the service ordering platform of the operator and applies for opening the network function for a batch of terminals. The customer needs to provide the service subscription platform with an EID list of this group of terminals. The EID list may be derived from the customer service platform in advance or compiled by other means and may be in a format that meets the requirements of the service subscription platform.
And the service ordering platform processes the client application, sends the EID list to the eSIM management platform and requests to distribute an electronic SIM card for each terminal. The eSIM management platform is responsible for generating electronic cards, binding each electronic card to an EID, generating a download activation code (the activation code format is defined by the GSMA sgp.22 standard) for each electronic card, and sending a list of activation codes back to the ordering platform. The activation code list corresponds to a terminal, and the contents include EID of the terminal, information of a bound electronic card (including ICCID), and an activation code of the electronic card.
And the service ordering platform sends the information of the electronic card distributed by each terminal to the Internet of things management platform, and the Internet of things management platform is responsible for completing the network configuration of the newly distributed electronic card.
And after the network configuration is successful, the service ordering platform prompts the customer to download the activation code list.
2. After downloading the list of activation codes from the service subscription platform, the customer uploads the list to the customer service platform. And the customer service platform finds a terminal record in a terminal database according to the EID, and stores data such as electronic card information, a downloaded activation code and the like into a corresponding terminal entry of the terminal database, wherein the electronic card is marked as an SIM card to be configured.
3. The customer turns on the IoT terminal. When the terminal is started up each time, the SIM card in the activated state is used for networking (the temporary SIM card when the terminal is started up for the first time), and after the networking is successful, the terminal is actively connected with a customer service platform and reports the ICCID of the current SIM card of the terminal. The service platform inquires a terminal database, checks whether the terminal has an SIM card to be configured which is inconsistent with the reported ICCID, and if so, sends a command of downloading a new SIM card to the terminal, wherein the command parameter comprises a downloading activation code of the SIM card to be configured.
4. And the terminal executes a command of 'downloading a new SIM card', takes out a download activation code from the command parameter, analyzes the address of the eSIM management platform from the activation code, actively connects the eSIM management platform, and executes the flow of downloading and installing the electronic card. And after the downloading and the installation are successful, setting the new electronic card into an activated state, setting the original electronic card into a deactivated state, and logging in the network again by using the new SIM card. After logging in the network again, the terminal is connected with the customer service platform and reports the ICCID of the new SIM card.
