Detailed Description

In order to make the technical solutions better understood by those skilled in the art, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

SIM (subscriber identity module) cards, also called subscriber identity cards, smart cards, etc., each SIM card corresponds to a telephone number for uniquely identifying a subscriber identity. A SIM card may be inserted into an electronic device for use and the communication charges incurred by the electronic device through the SIM card are recorded on an account of the subscriber identity uniquely identified by the SIM card.

With the development of electronic devices, more and more electronic devices can be provided with multiple SIM cards, which may be two or more than two. The SIM card set in the electronic device may be an entity SIM card or a virtual SIM card.

Each SIM card installed in the electronic device may be used as a call number card for voice call, or each SIM card may be used as a data card for connecting to a mobile data network. In actual use, a SIM card is determined for responding to relevant data services, such as determining a SIM card for making a call in response to a dialing request, and determining a SIM card for making a mobile data network connection in response to a network connection request. The mobile data network includes a 2G network, a 3G network, a 4G network, a 5G network, and the like, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

The method for determining that one SIM card is used for responding to the related data service may be that a user sets a default SIM card as a main card in advance, and uses the main card to respond when receiving a request related to the data service. That is, if a dialing request for dialing a call is received, the main card is used for dialing; when a network connection request is received, the mobile data network is connected through the main card, and all Internet data services of the terminal can only use a default SIM card set by a user by default. The main cards corresponding to different data services may be set separately, for example, one SIM card is set as the main card for making a call, and the other SIM card is set as the main card for connecting to the mobile data network.

However, in this method, the SIM card responding to the request cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the actual situation of the SIM card, and the resources of all SIM cards are not fully utilized. For example, the electronic device is provided with two SIM cards, one of which has a large number of free minutes to talk, and the other of which has no number of free minutes to talk. At this time, if the SIM card with no free minutes is set as the master card, the master card dials a number when a dialing response is performed, which brings extra consumption to the user. For another example, the electronic device is provided with two SIM cards, wherein one SIM card has much remaining data traffic, and the other SIM card has no remaining data traffic. At this time, if the SIM card without the remaining data traffic is set as the master card responding to the data connection request, additional consumption is brought to the user while the mobile network connection is performed, and the data traffic of the SIM card with the remaining data traffic is not used.

In addition, the SIM card used for making a call in response to a dialing request may be determined by popping up a SIM card selection box when the dialing request is received, and selecting the SIM card used for the current dialing by the user. However, in this method, the interactive flow is added, and the user is required to manually select each time, which is cumbersome. Moreover, the user may not be able to correctly select the appropriate SIM card to make the outgoing call, for example, the user may not know the actual remaining amount of the call minutes of each SIM card, which may cause difficulty in user selection and may cause user selection errors.

Therefore, the inventor proposes a method, an apparatus, an electronic device, and a storage medium for selecting a SIM card according to the practical situation of the available traffic of each SIM card when receiving a data connection request, so that the selected SIM card for responding to the data connection request is more suitable for the practical situation.

The method, the apparatus, the electronic device, and the storage medium for selecting the SIM card provided in the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

Referring to fig. 1, a method for selecting a SIM card provided in the embodiment of the present application is applied to an electronic device. The electronic device is provided with a plurality of SIM cards, which may be physical SIM cards installed therein or virtual SIM cards, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited. Specifically, the method may include:

step S110: and receiving a data connection request, wherein the data connection request corresponds to a corresponding data service.

The electronic device may receive data connection requests, each data request corresponding to a respective data service.

The data connection request may be a dialing request, for example, a user initiates a dialing request through a dialing keypad, initiates a dialing request through a dialing key in a web page, and the like. And the data service corresponding to the dialing request is a dialing call service for carrying out dialing call. The electronic device may monitor the data connection request in real time, and when the dialing request is monitored, may determine that the data connection request corresponding to the dial-up call service is received.

In addition, the data connection request may also be a mobile network connection request, and the corresponding data service is a mobile network connection service, that is, a request for acquiring data through a mobile network such as 2G, 3G, 4G, or 5G. When an online video playing request is received, requesting to download video data through a mobile network; when a web page opening request is received, web page data and the like are requested to be acquired through a mobile network. Optionally, the mobile network connection request may also be a request for turning on a mobile network connection switch, such as receiving a touch to a mobile network turn-on button.

The electronic equipment can monitor the mobile network connection request in real time, and can judge that a data connection request corresponding to the mobile network connection service is received each time the mobile network connection request is monitored; in addition, in order to reduce the energy consumption of the electronic device, the mobile network connection request may be monitored every time longer than the preset time, and it may be determined that the data connection request corresponding to the mobile network connection service is received. In order to reduce the energy consumption of the electronic equipment, the electronic equipment may also perform monitoring of the mobile data connection request every other preset time, and if the mobile network connection request is monitored, it is determined that the data connection request corresponding to the mobile network connection service is received, the monitoring is stopped, and the monitoring is performed again after the interval of the preset time; and if the mobile network connection request is not monitored, continuing monitoring until the mobile network connection request is monitored, judging that the data connection request corresponding to the mobile network connection service is received, stopping monitoring, and monitoring again after a preset time interval.

Step S120: and selecting one SIM card from the SIM cards of which the available service volume corresponding to the data service is greater than the corresponding preset threshold value as a response card.

Step S130: and taking the response card as the SIM card responding to the data connection request.

Upon receiving the data connection request, the electronic device selects a SIM card for use in responding to the data connection request. Specifically, the selection may be performed according to the available traffic of the corresponding data service corresponding to each SIM card. The available traffic is the traffic of the corresponding data service that the SIM card can use for free, or the traffic in the service of the SIM card. If the available service volume corresponding to the dial-up call service is the number of free call minutes left by the SIM card, or the remaining amount of the voice package in the SIM card; for another example, the available service volume corresponding to the mobile network connection service is the remaining free traffic of the SIM, or the remaining amount of the data package in the SIM card.

Specifically, a preset threshold value for comparing with the available traffic volume is set corresponding to the corresponding data traffic. Wherein, different data services can be respectively set with preset threshold values. For example, a preset threshold is set as a first threshold corresponding to the dial-up call service, and a second threshold is set corresponding to the mobile network connection service. Specific values of the first threshold and the second threshold are not limited in the embodiment of the present application, for example, the first threshold may be 5 minutes, 10 minutes, or the like; the second threshold may be 50M, 100M, etc.

In addition, different SIM cards can also be set for the same data service. For example, the electronic device is provided with two SIM cards, which are a first SIM card and a second SIM card, respectively, and then the preset threshold corresponding to the dial-up call service of the first SIM card may be set as a third threshold corresponding to the first SIM card, and the preset threshold corresponding to the mobile network connection service of the first SIM card is set as a fourth threshold; the preset threshold corresponding to the second SIM card for the dial-up call service may be set as a fifth threshold corresponding to the second SIM card, and the preset threshold corresponding to the mobile network connection service for the second SIM card may be set as a sixth threshold.

In the embodiment of the present application, the preset threshold may be set by a user. That is, a setting interface of the preset threshold may be provided, and the user may set the preset threshold of each data service on the setting interface. And after receiving the setting of the user, the electronic equipment takes the value set by the user as a preset threshold value of the corresponding data service.

And comparing the available service volume of the data service corresponding to each SIM card with a corresponding preset threshold value. If two SIM cards are set in the electronic equipment, the two SIM cards are respectively a first SIM card and a second SIM card, and the data service corresponding to the data connection request is a dialing call service, comparing the available service volume of the dialing call service of the first SIM card with a third threshold value of the first SIM card, and determining whether the available service volume of the dialing call service of the first SIM card is greater than the third threshold value of the first SIM card; and comparing the available traffic of the dial-up call service of the second SIM card with a fifth threshold value of the second SIM card, and determining whether the available traffic of the dial-up call service of the second SIM card is greater than the fifth threshold value of the second SIM card. And selecting the SIM card as a response card from the SIM cards of which the available service volume corresponding to the data service is greater than a preset threshold value, namely the SIM card responding to the data connection request.

The electronic equipment can respond to the data connection request through the selected response card to perform corresponding data connection. For example, if the data connection request is a dial-up call request, dialing is performed through the telephone number of the response card, and the available traffic of the response card is consumed; if the data connection request is a mobile network connection request, the mobile network connection is carried out by consuming the traffic of the telephone number of the response card, and the consumed traffic is reduced from the available traffic of the telephone number of the response card.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, if the data service includes a mobile network connection service, since the mobile network connection is usually frequent, if the SIM card selection is performed every time the mobile network is connected, power consumption of the electronic device may be increased. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, after the SIM card is selected as the response card, the response card may be selected by responding to the data connection request again when the waiting time is greater than the preset time threshold. Before selecting the SIM card as the response card again, the data service may be processed in response to the data connection request by the response card selected previously. Specifically, before step S120, it may be determined whether a difference between a time when the SIM card is selected as the response card last time and a time when the SIM card is selected as the response card reaches a preset time threshold. If the preset time threshold is reached, step S120 may be executed. If the preset time threshold is not reached, the response card selected at the previous time can respond to the SIM card of the data connection request at the current time.

In the embodiment of the application, under the condition that a data connection request is received, a response card is selected from the SIM cards with the available traffic volume larger than a preset threshold value, so that a proper SIM card is selected for responding the data connection request.

According to the SIM card selection method provided by the embodiment of the application, when the number of the SIM cards with the available service volume larger than the corresponding preset threshold value is different, the SIM cards can be selected by different selection strategies. Specifically, referring to fig. 2, another embodiment of the present application provides a SIM selection method, including:

step S210: and receiving a data connection request, wherein the data connection request corresponds to a corresponding data service.

For the detailed description of this step, reference may be made to the foregoing step S110, which is not described herein again.

Step S220: and determining the number of the SIM cards of which the available service volume corresponding to the data service is greater than a corresponding preset threshold value. If the available service volume of the data service corresponding to at least two SIM cards in the plurality of SIM cards is greater than the corresponding preset threshold, executing step S230; if the available traffic of only one SIM card corresponding to the data service is greater than the corresponding preset threshold, the SIM card is used as the response card, and step S250 is executed.

In the embodiment of the application, if the electronic device is provided with only one SIM card, the SIM card is used as the SIM card for responding to the data connection request. If the electronic device is provided with a plurality of SIM cards, such as two or three, one SIM card is selected from the plurality of SIM cards as a response card.

When the electronic device is provided with a plurality of SIM cards, the number of SIM cards in which the available traffic of the corresponding data service is greater than the corresponding preset threshold may be determined. For example, if the data connection request is a dial-up call request, the number of SIM cards of which the available traffic of the dial-up call service is greater than the corresponding preset threshold is determined among the plurality of SIM cards. If the electronic device is provided with two SIM cards, and the available traffic of the dial-up call services of the two SIM cards is greater than the corresponding preset threshold, that is, the available traffic of the dial-up call service of the first SIM card is greater than the third threshold, and the available traffic of the dial-up call service of the second SIM card is greater than the fifth threshold, it may be determined that the number of the SIM cards whose available traffic is greater than the corresponding preset threshold in the electronic device is two. If the electronic equipment is provided with two SIM cards, the available traffic of the dial-up call service of the first SIM card in the two SIM cards is larger than a third threshold value, and the available traffic of the dial-up call service of the second SIM card is smaller than a fifth threshold value, the number of the SIM cards with the available traffic larger than the corresponding preset threshold value in the electronic equipment can be determined to be one. Of course, there may not be a SIM card with an available traffic volume greater than the corresponding preset threshold value among the multiple SIM cards, that is, the available traffic volumes of all the SIM cards are consumed to be less than or equal to the corresponding preset threshold value.

The available traffic of each SIM card in the electronic device can be obtained by inquiry from the operator or determined by manual input from the user. And, under the condition of obtaining the available service volume once from the outside, the consumption of the available service volume can be deducted according to the SIM card, and the change condition of the available service volume of the SIM card can be tracked. For example, the electronic device stores the available traffic of the dial-up call service of the SIM card in the local database, and after each dial-up call, deducts the call duration from the available traffic. In another example, the electronic device stores available traffic of the mobile network connection service of the SIM card in a local database, and after a period of time, deducts traffic consumption during the period of time from the available traffic.

If there is no SIM card with an available traffic volume greater than the corresponding preset threshold value among the plurality of SIM cards, the selection may be performed according to a preset selection policy.

As an implementation manner, if there is no SIM card with an available traffic volume greater than a corresponding preset threshold in the multiple SIM cards, a SIM card selection window may be popped up, the user is prompted to select a SIM card for responding to the data connection request, and the SIM card finally selected by the user is used as a response card.

As an implementation manner, the charge condition of each data service of each SIM card, such as the charge condition of dial-up call per minute after the available service volume of the dial-up call service is consumed, may be obtained and stored; and charging for each M flow after the mobile data flow is consumed. According to the charge condition of each SIM card, the SIM card with lower data service charge corresponding to the data connection request is selected as a response card, so that less consumption is generated when the data service of the response is executed. If the available service volume of the two SIM cards set by the electronic equipment is consumed, the first SIM card charges 0.25 yuan per minute for a call, and the second SIM card charges 0.1 yuan per minute, the second SIM card is selected as a response card when the available service volume of the plurality of SIM cards is not larger than the corresponding SIM card with the preset threshold value. The charging condition of each SIM card may be manually input by the user, or may be obtained by querying from a responding operator, and the specific obtaining manner is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

As an implementation manner, a default SIM card pre-specified by the user may also be received, and when the available traffic of the data service of all the SIM cards is less than or equal to the corresponding preset threshold, the default SIM card is used as a response card, and the data connection request is responded through the default SIM card. Wherein, corresponding to different data services, different default SIM card settings can be performed. Of course, the SIM card may also be uniformly configured for all data services, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In this embodiment of the present application, if the available traffic of only one SIM card corresponding to the data service in the multiple SIM cards is greater than the corresponding preset threshold, the SIM card may be directly used as the response card for responding to the data connection request, so as to avoid additional consumption caused by the exhaustion of the available traffic when using other SIM cards.

In this embodiment of the application, if the available traffic of the data service corresponding to at least two SIM cards in the plurality of SIM cards is greater than the corresponding preset threshold, as an implementation manner, one SIM card may be randomly selected as a response card.

As another embodiment, if the available traffic of the data service corresponding to at least two SIM cards in the plurality of SIM cards is greater than the corresponding preset threshold, an SIM card with better signal quality may be selected from the at least two SIM cards as a response card, that is, an SIM card with better signal quality may be selected from the SIM cards with the available traffic of the data service greater than the corresponding preset threshold as a response card, so that when processing the data service corresponding to the data connection request, the effect is better, for example, the call tone quality is higher and smoother, the call completing rate is higher, and the internet surfing speed is faster and not stuck. The at least two SIM cards may be all SIM cards in the electronic device, or may be some SIM cards in the electronic device.

Step S230: and determining the mobile communication network where each SIM card of the at least two SIM cards resides.

Specifically, when the available traffic of the data service corresponding to at least two SIM cards is greater than the corresponding preset threshold, the mobile communication network where each SIM card with the available traffic greater than the corresponding preset threshold resides may be determined. That is, it may be determined whether a base station accessed by each of the at least two SIM cards is a 5G base station, a 4G base station, a 3G base station, or a 2G base station, and whether a 5G network, a 4G network, a 3G network, or a 2G network is connected.

Step S240: and selecting one SIM card with the highest network type of the resident mobile communication network from the at least two SIM cards as the response card.

As the higher the network system of the mobile communication network where the SIM card resides, the better the signal quality, for example, the call quality of volte (voice over lte) in 4G network is better than that in 3G and 2G networks. Therefore, the SIM card with the highest network type can be selected from the SIM cards with the available traffic volume corresponding to the data service larger than the corresponding preset threshold. The network type is the type of the network, for example, the network type of 5G is higher than 4G, the network type of 4G is higher than 3G, and the network type of 3G is higher than 2G. Also as LTE > WCDMA > GSM.

Specifically, if the network type of the mobile communication network in which only one SIM card resides is the highest among the at least two SIM cards, the SIM card is used as the response card. That is, in at least two SIMs whose available traffic corresponding to the data service is greater than the corresponding preset threshold, the network system of one SIM card is higher than that of all other SIM cards, which indicates that the signal quality of the SIM card is the best, and the SIM card is used as the SIM card for responding to the data connection request. For example, if the available traffic of two SIM cards in the electronic device is greater than the corresponding preset threshold, and the network connected with one of the two SIM cards is a 4G network, and the network connected with the other SIM card is a 3G network, the SIM card connected with the 4G network is used as the response card.

In addition, if the network formats of the mobile communication networks where the at least two SIM cards reside are the highest and the same, one SIM card is selected from the two or more SIM cards as a response card. That is, in the SIM cards whose available traffic corresponding to the data service is greater than the corresponding preset threshold, if two or more SIM cards are accessed to the mobile communication network of the same standard and the standard of the accessed mobile communication network is higher than that of other SIM cards, the SIM card is selected from the two or more SIM cards as the response card. It can be understood that the two or more SIM cards may also be all SIM cards in the electronic device, or all SIM cards in the electronic device whose available traffic of all data services is greater than a corresponding preset threshold, or some SIM cards in the electronic device, where the specific use cases and signal cases of the SIM cards are different, and the number of the SIM cards is different. For example, if the available traffic of two SIM cards in the electronic device is greater than the corresponding preset threshold, and the two SIM cards are connected to the network 4G network, one of the two SIM cards connected to the network 4G network is selected as the response card. For another example, if the available traffic of three SIM cards in the electronic device is greater than the corresponding preset threshold, and the network connected with two SIM cards is a 4G network, and the network connected with one SIM card is a 3G network, then one of the two SIM cards connected with the 4G network is selected as the response card.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, one SIM card may be randomly selected as a response card from two or more SIM cards with the highest and the same network standard of the resident mobile communication network.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, one SIM card with the strongest signal strength may also be selected from the two or more SIM cards as the response card. Specifically, the electronic device may detect the signal strength of each of the two or more SIM cards, and use one of the two or more SIM cards with the strongest signal strength as the response card. For example, two SIM cards in the electronic device are connected with a 4G network, and the 4G network is the highest network system connected among all the SIM cards, then it is determined which SIM card has stronger signal strength, and the stronger SIM card is selected as the response card, so that the network effect is better when processing data services.

Optionally, if the network systems of the mobile communication networks where the two or more SIM cards reside are the highest and the same, and if the signal intensity of only one SIM card among the two or more SIM cards is stronger than that of the other SIM cards, the SIM card is used as the response card.

And if the signal intensity of more than one SIM card is the same and stronger than that of other SIM cards in the two or more SIM cards, or the difference between the signal intensities of more than one SIM card is smaller than a preset difference value and stronger than that of other SIM cards, selecting a preset default SIM card from the more than one SIM card as the response card. That is, if there is more than one SIM card among the two or more SIM cards having the same signal strength, or if there is more than one SIM card having a signal strength close to that of the other SIM cards and stronger than that of the other SIM cards, the default SIM card is selected from the more than one SIM cards. The default SIM card may be a SIM card set by the user for handling data traffic if the signal strength is the same or close. It can be understood that, it is also possible that the signal strength of all the SIM cards with the highest network standard of the mobile communication network where the SIM card resides is the same or the difference between the signal strengths is smaller than a preset difference value, and then a default SIM card is selected as the response card from all the SIM cards with the highest network standard of the mobile communication network where the SIM card resides and the same. For example, two SIM cards in the electronic device are connected with a 4G network, and the 4G network is the highest network standard connected among all the SIM cards, and the SIM card with stronger signal strength is selected from the two SIM cards as the response card. If the signal intensities of the two SIM cards are the same or smaller than a preset difference value, selecting a default card as a response card; and if one of the two SIM cards is stronger than the other SIM card, or the signal intensity of one SIM card is stronger than that of the other SIM card, and the difference is greater than a preset difference, selecting the SIM card with stronger signal intensity as a response card.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, if there is an unlimited amount of available traffic SIM cards in the SIM cards whose available traffic corresponding to the data service is greater than the corresponding preset threshold, one SIM card may be selected from the unlimited amount of available traffic as the response card. The specific selection mode may also be that, if only one SIM card in the multiple SIM cards corresponds to the unlimited amount of available service volume of the data service, the SIM card is used as the response card; and if the available service volume of the data service corresponding to at least two SIM cards in the plurality of SIM cards is not limited, selecting one SIM card with the highest network type of the resident mobile communication network from the at least two SIM cards as the response card. If the network type of the mobile communication network where only one SIM card resides is the highest in the at least two SIM cards, taking the SIM card as the response card; and if the network systems of the mobile communication networks where the at least two SIM cards reside are the highest and the same, selecting one SIM card with the strongest signal intensity from the two or more SIM cards as a response card. If the signal intensity of only one SIM card in the two or more SIM cards is stronger than that of other SIM cards, taking the SIM card as the response card; and if the signal intensity of more than one SIM card in the two or more SIM cards is the same and stronger than that of other SIM cards, selecting a preset default SIM card from the more than one SIM card as the response card. The specific selection manner may refer to the above SIM card whose available traffic is greater than the corresponding preset threshold according to the network type and the signal strength, and is not described herein again.

Step S250: and taking the response card as the SIM card responding to the data connection request.

In the embodiment of the application, the available service volume, the network type and the signal strength of the SIM card are combined for comprehensive selection, and the SIM card with better signal quality can be preferentially selected for corresponding data service without increasing the user charge.

The SIM card selection method in the embodiment of the present application will be described below through a specific usage scenario. In this usage scenario, the electronic device is provided with two SIM cards, and it can be understood that the number of the SIM cards that can be set by the electronic device is not limited to two, and the SIM card selection method provided in this embodiment is not limited to selecting from the two SIM cards. As shown in fig. 3, the method for selecting the SIM card of the electronic device in the specific usage scenario may include:

step S310: and receiving a data connection request, wherein the data connection request corresponds to a corresponding data service.

Step S320: and judging whether the available traffic of the two SIM cards is larger than a corresponding preset threshold value. If yes, go to step S330; if not, and the available service volume of one of the SIM cards is greater than the corresponding preset threshold, taking the SIM card as a response card, and executing step S360; if not, and the available traffic of the two SIM cards is not greater than the corresponding preset threshold, the default card is selected as the response card, and step S360 is executed.

Step S330: and judging whether the network system of the mobile network connected with one SIM card in the two SIM cards is higher than that of the other SIM card. If not, go to step S340; if yes, the SIM card with the higher network type of the connected mobile network is used as the response card, and step S360 is executed.

If the network system of the mobile network connected with none of the two SIM cards is higher than that of the other SIM card, the network systems of the mobile networks connected with the two SIM cards are the same, such as a 4G network, a 3G network, a 2G network and the like.

Step S340: and judging whether the signal intensity of one SIM card is stronger than that of the other SIM card in the two SIM cards. If not, executing step S350; if yes, the SIM card with stronger signal strength is used as the response card, and step S360 is executed.

And if the signal intensity of one SIM card in the two SIM cards is stronger than that of the other SIM card, the signal intensities of the two SIM cards are the same. Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the signal strengths of the SIM cards are the same, and may not necessarily be the same, and two signal strengths having a preset difference may also be determined as the same signal strength.

Step S350: and taking the default card of the two SIM cards as a response card.

Step S360: and taking the response card as the SIM card responding to the data connection request.

When receiving the data connection request, the available traffic of the data service corresponding to the data connection request of the two SIM cards is larger than the corresponding preset threshold,

specific contents of each step in this embodiment may refer to the same or corresponding parts in the foregoing embodiments, and are not described in detail in this embodiment.

In the embodiment of the application, the data connection request can be a dial-up call request corresponding to a dial-up call service; or the mobile network connection request corresponds to the mobile network connection service.

If the data connection request is a dial-up call request, when the voice package margins of the two SIM cards are not exhausted, a card selection strategy based on signal quality is preferentially used, namely, the SIM card with higher network system is used as the SIM card with better signal quality, and the SIM card with stronger signal strength is used as the SIM card with better signal quality when the network systems are the same. Judge which card signal quality is better during the dialing, the better draw-in groove outgoing call of preferred selection signal quality can promote the user outgoing call's when two cards success rate, also can effectively promote the pronunciation quality experience after the conversation is established simultaneously, because the sound that weak signal leads to is fuzzy, the card is pause during the reduction conversation, the probability of noiseless scheduling problem. If the voice package allowance of one card is exhausted, the other card with the unspent voice package allowance is preferentially selected as the card preferentially selected when the call is made, so that the package allowance is prevented from being exceeded, and extra telephone charge expense is brought to a user. If the voice package allowance of the two cards is exhausted, the user can be prompted to select a default SIM card, or dialing is carried out by using the preset default SIM card, so that the situation that the two cards exceed the charge standard of the package part and are inconsistent, and extra telephone charge expense is brought to the user is prevented.

In the case where the data connection request is a dial-up call request, the difference of the network environments where the SIM cards are located when the dial-up request is received may be considered, for example, if one SIM card is a mobile card and one SIM card is a telecommunication card, where the mobile card signal is strong and the telecommunication card signal is strong, a suitable SIM card may be selected according to the signal strength of the actual location when the dial-up call request is received. Moreover, if a default SIM card set by the user is used to make a call, a card with poor signal is used to make a call under certain conditions, which may result in a call failure, and even if the call is successfully established, the call quality is not good due to poor signal. The method provided by the embodiment of the application ensures that the user can preferentially select the calling card with strong signals to call the telephone on the basis of the intelligent card selection strategy combining the signal intensity and the voice package allowance under the condition of not increasing the user fee, and reduces the problems of call calling failure and poor call voice quality caused by poor signal coverage.

And if the network connection request is moved during the data connection request, an automatic card selection strategy based on the combination of the signal quality and the data traffic package allowance is adopted. When the data package allowance of the two SIM cards is not exhausted, a card selection strategy based on signal quality is preferentially used, namely, the network type of a network connected with which the card is connected is judged to be higher when the network is accessed, if the resident network types are the same, the card with better signal strength is preferentially selected as the network access card, if the resident network types are different, the card with high type is preferentially selected as the network access card according to the priority from high to low of the network types, and the network access experience of a user in the double-card process can be improved.

If the data package allowance of the two cards is exhausted, the user can be prompted to select a default internet access card or perform network connection by using a preset default SIM card, so that the situation that the charging standard of the two cards exceeding the package part is inconsistent and extra expense is brought to the user is prevented. The method provided by the embodiment can prevent the use of the mobile data network from exceeding the package allowance, and bring extra expense for the user. Under the condition of not increasing user charge, the user can be ensured to preferentially select the telephone card with strong signal to carry out Internet access service, and the problems of slow Internet access and incapability of Internet access of the user caused by poor signal coverage of the default Internet access card are reduced.
