Description

SIM card information acquisition device and communication terminal device
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of intelligent communication terminals, in particular to an SIM card information acquisition device and a communication terminal device.
Background
One goal of the 5G communication network is to construct a globally unified communication network to consistently achieve intercommunication of information transmission between people, people and things, and things. In order to realize the integration of wired and wireless networks, 3GPP establishes a working group, and integrates access networks with other organizations. 3GPP R15/R16 has specified technical implementation schemes of Untrused and Trusted Non-3GPP Access and Wired Access layer. Thus, the 5G terminal supporting the wireless cellular network, the WLAN network and the wired network can be accessed to the 5G core network. The 5G intelligent terminal is used as a part of a 5G communication network, needs to adapt to the overall target requirement of the 5G network, needs to make adaptive modification on the architecture scheme of the intelligent terminal, and simultaneously, as a user terminal, also needs to meet the inherent technical attributes of the terminal such as technical openness, adaptability, power saving and the like.
In particular, the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) is referred to. Since the SIM is a module used by wireless carriers for subscriber identification, and is used in conjunction with a SIM card, the SIM is conventionally coupled to a Modem (Modem) as part of the Modem. With the arrival of 5G, 5G will support various access networks such as 3GPP access/Non-3 GPP access/wired access; no matter 3GPP, Non-3GPP access or wired access network, the SIM is used for user identity identification for network access control, so that SIM module coupling continues to be reserved as a part of the cellular Modem, which is no longer suitable for multi-access service scenarios.
For the technical scheme that the SIM module is coupled in the Modem, if a related software process on an Application Processor (AP) needs to access data in the SIM card, it needs to first implement communication with a SIM task process running on the Modem by means of the AP and the Modem interface to read the data in the SIM card. In the mode, for other access modules, such as a wifi module, a wifi application process on an AP side needs to communicate with a SIM process on a Modem module in order to acquire information in a SIM card, and a wifi application scene may not need a Modem function at all, so that the technical scheme is inflexible, the transmission speed is low, and power consumption is high.

Detailed Description
Embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to the drawings.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a basic architecture of a communication terminal device in the prior art. As shown in fig. 1, the architecture includes an application processor 101 and a modem 102.
The application processor 101 is responsible for processing user interface programs and application programs; the modem 102 is responsible for handling wireless communication transmissions. Where modem 102 has integrated therein a SIM, which is a module used by wireless carriers for identification, is conventionally coupled to modem 102 as part of modem 102. However, with the advent of 5G, since 5G will support multiple access networks such as 3GPP/Non-3 GPP/wired access, and the SIM is used to identify the user identity in both 3GPP access networks and Non-3GPP access networks, the structure in which the SIM is embedded and becomes part of the modem 102 is no longer suitable for the service scenario coming with 5G.
The modem 102 may be a communication module formed by a single-mode or multi-mode system on chip (SoC) chip or a multi-SoC chip having the wireless network access capability of GSM/WCDMA/CDMA/LTE/5G, etc.; the SIM module refers to a hardware interface module capable of reading a corresponding physical SIM card issued by an operator, and supports single cards or multiple cards. The single card specifically includes, but is not limited to, a SIM card of a GSM network, a UIM card of a CDMA network, a USIM card of WCDMA, a USIM/ISIM card of LTE, a USIM card of 5G, and the like. Multiple cards are a combination possibility of the above single cards, such as: GSM dual-card dual-standby single-pass dual-GSMSIM card, dual LTE USIM card and the like.
The SIM card itself constitutes a computer system, consisting of a Micro Controller Unit (MCU), a memory, Flash, etc. The communication protocol between the SIM card and the modem is made up of multiple layers, as shown in fig. 2. The communication protocol is specified by the standard ETSI TS 102.221.
Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of an architecture of another communication terminal device in the prior art. This architecture is named in the present application as the Modem-SIM architecture. As shown in fig. 3, the intelligent communication terminal chip includes an application processor 301, a modem 302, and other peripheral devices 303. Wherein the modem includes a SIM module 3021 and a communication baseband processor 3022.
The application processor 301 is connected to other peripheral devices 303 via an off-chip connection, the application processor 301 is further connected to a baseband 3022 communication processor in the modem 302 via an off-chip connection, the communication baseband processor 3022 is connected to the SIM module 3021 via an on-chip bus, and the SIM module 3021 in the modem 302 is connected to the SIM card 304 via an off-chip connection, which is specified by the standard ETSI TS 102.221.
The other peripheral devices 303 include devices that can use the information in the SIM card to complete related user identification, data storage, and encryption and decryption, including but not limited to a WIFI module, a GNSS module, a bluetooth module, an NFC module, and a smart camera.
When the SIM card 304 is inserted into the SIM card slot corresponding to the SIM module 3021, that is, the SIM card 304 is connected to the SIM module 3021 via an off-chip connection, so that communication between the SIM card and the modem is realized, as shown in fig. 3. The functions of the Modem 302 and the USIM card related to the communication of the Modem are implemented in the Modem-SIM architecture.
Generally, the relevant hardware pins (power, ground, clock, reset, I/O) of the SIM module 3021 for data transmission with the SIM card are led out from the SoC of the relevant modem, so that the peripheral device passes through the modem 302 to perform data interaction with the SIM card.
The WIFI module needs to perform data interaction with the SIM card, for example, when the WIFI module performs EAP-SIM/AKA authentication, as shown in fig. 3, the application processor 301 sends a read instruction to the modem 302; after receiving the reading instruction, the modem 302 sends a reading instruction to the SIM card supported by the SIM module 3021 through the SIM module 3021 to read the SIM card information in the SIM card, and after receiving the reading instruction, the SIM card sends a response instruction to the modem 302, where the response instruction carries the SIM card information; after receiving the SIM card information, the modem 302 sends a response instruction carrying the SIM card information to the application processor 301, and after receiving the response instruction carrying the SIM card information, the application processor 301 sends the information carrying the SIM card to the WIFI module. Therefore, the WIFI module receives the SIM card information, and further realizes related functions of EAP-SIM/AKA authentication. Therefore, the process is complex, the data transmission speed is low, the whole Modem function needs to be started (perhaps the Modem can be in a service closing state at the moment), and the power consumption of the intelligent communication terminal chip is increased.
For the above reasons, the present application proposes a new architecture. Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of a communication terminal apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 4, the communication terminal apparatus includes: application processor 401, communication baseband processor 402, SIM module 405 and other peripherals 403 that use SIM card information.
Wherein other peripheral devices 403 and the communication baseband processor 402 are connected to the application processor 401 through off-chip connections. The user's SIM card 404 is connected to the SIM module 405 by an off-chip connection, the connection between the SIM module 405 and the SIM card complying with the standard ETSI TS 102.221.
As shown in fig. 4, the SIM module 405 is integrated inside the application processor 401.
Optionally, the SIM module 405 is integrated outside the application processor 401. Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of another communication terminal apparatus according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 5, the communication terminal apparatus includes: application processor 401, SIM module 405, communication baseband processor 402, and other peripherals 403 that use SIM card information.
The other peripheral devices 403 and the communication baseband processor 402 are connected to the application processor 401 through an off-chip connection, the application processor 401 is connected to the SIM module 405 through an off-chip connection, the SIM module 405 is connected to the SIM card of the user through an off-chip connection, and the connection between the SIM module 405 and the SIM card is specified by the standard ETSI TS 102.221. The communication protocol hierarchy of the SIM card and the SIM module in the AP also remains the same as in fig. 2.
It should be noted here that the SIM module 405 is a hardware interface and a software driver module supporting the function of reading the SIM card 404 of the user.
The application processor 401 is configured to, when detecting that the communication baseband processor 402 or the other peripheral device 403 needs to perform preset processing and the preset processing is implemented based on SIM card information, send a read instruction to the SIM card 404 supported by the SIM module through the SIM driver to read SIM card information in the SIM card 404, and receive a response instruction sent by the SIM card 404, where the response instruction carries the SIM card information;
the application processor 401 is further configured to perform preset processing based on the SIM card information to obtain a processing result, and send the processing result to other peripheral devices;
or
The application processor 401 is further configured to send the SIM card information to the communication baseband processor 403 or other peripheral devices;
and the communication baseband processor 402 or other peripheral devices 403 is configured to perform preset processing according to the SIM card information to obtain a processing result.
Specifically, in hardware, the application processor 401 is coupled with a SIM module 405; in software, the application processor 401 runs the relevant software processes and SIM drivers that use the SIM card information.
The application processor 401 runs the software processes of all applications, including the application software processes of the communication baseband processor 402 or other peripheral devices 403. If the relevant software process needs to acquire the SIM card information, sending a reading instruction to the SIM card 404 supported by the SIM module 405 through the SIM driver to read the SIM card information in the SIM card 404; and receiving a response instruction sent by the SIM card 404, where the response instruction carries SIM card information. If the software process corresponding to the communication baseband processor 402 needs to acquire the SIM card information, the application processor 401 sends the SIM card information to the communication baseband processor 402, so that the communication baseband processor 402 can perform preset processing according to the SIM card information to obtain a processing result; if the software process corresponding to the other peripheral device 403 needs to acquire the SIM card information, the application processor 401 performs preset processing according to the SIM card information to obtain a processing result and sends the processing result to the other peripheral device 403, or the application processor 401 sends the SIM card information to the other peripheral device, and after the other peripheral device 403 acquires the SIM card information, the process performs preset processing according to the SIM card information to obtain a processing result.
The preset processing comprises user authentication, data storage or encryption and decryption operation and the like.
For example, when a WIFI device in the other peripheral devices 403 detects a WIFI network, the WIFI network initiates a user authentication request when attempting to access the corresponding WIFI network. In the application processor 401, according to the authentication algorithm, the software process corresponding to the WIFI device needs to complete authentication by means of the SIM card. The application processor 401 sends an instruction to the SIM card through the SIM driver and transmits the relevant authentication information, and after receiving the instruction, the SIM card 404 calculates an auxiliary authentication result according to the authentication algorithm and sends a response instruction to the application processor 401, where the response instruction carries the auxiliary authentication result;
after acquiring the auxiliary authentication result, the application processor 401 encapsulates the auxiliary authentication result into a specific transmission protocol message and sends the specific transmission protocol message to the access network equipment corresponding to the WIFI network by means of the WIFI module, so that the access network equipment authenticates the legality of the communication terminal device; or the auxiliary authentication result is sent to the WIFI equipment, the auxiliary authentication result is encapsulated into SIM card authentication information according to the authentication algorithm procedure by the related communication process of the WIFI equipment, and the SIM card authentication information is sent to the access network equipment corresponding to the WIFI network, so that the access network equipment authenticates the legality of the communication terminal device.
As can be seen from the above description, in the process of acquiring the SIM card information in the SIM card 404 supported by the SIM module 405, the application processor 401 directly calls the SIM module 405, but does not call the modem and then indirectly calls the SIM module 405, so as to increase the data transmission rate, and reduce the power consumption due to starting the modem.
Optionally, the SIM card supported by the SIM module includes one or a combination of a plurality of modes of a SIM card of a GSM network, a UIM card of a CDMA network, a USIM card of a WCDMA network, a USIM card/ISIM card of an LTE network, and a USIM card of a 5G/6G network. Such as supporting both SIM and USIM cards.
Optionally, the SIM module supports single-card or multi-card slots, each card slot supporting a SIM card as supported by the SIM module described above. The SIM card supported by the SIM module includes, but is not limited to, one mode or a combination of multiple modes of a SIM card of a GSM network, a UIM card of a CDMA network, a USIM card of a WCDMA network, a USIM card/ISIM card of an LTE network, and a USIM card of a 5G/6G network. Such as supporting both the SIM card and the USIM card.
It should be noted that the SIM card of the GSM network, the UIM card of the CDMA network, the USIM card of the WCDMA network, the USIM card of the LTE network, or the ISIM card, and the USIM card of the 5G/6G network are essentially SIM files, and therefore, one SIM card can store one or more of the SIM files.
Optionally, other peripheral devices 403 using the SIM card information include devices that can perform relevant subscriber identification, data storage, and encryption/decryption using the information in the SIM card, including but not limited to WIFI modules, GNSS modules, Bluetooth modules, NFC modules, smart camera modules, and the like.
It should be noted that the scheme of the present application can be applied to not only 5G terminal devices, but also 4G terminal devices, and terminal devices that only support WIFI
It can be seen that, in the solution of the present application, the SIM module supporting multiple network accesses for common use is separated from the modem and integrated in the application processor or coupled with the application processor as a separate module, so as to overcome the problem that the SIM card must rely on the modem to enable when performing information interaction with other peripheral devices, improve the data transmission speed, and reduce the power consumption of the communication terminal device.
Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a SIM card information obtaining apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, the SIM card information obtaining apparatus is applied to a communication terminal apparatus, the communication terminal apparatus further includes a communication baseband processor and other peripheral devices using SIM card information,

the application processor 601 is configured to send a read instruction to the SIM card supported by the SIM module through the SIM driver to read SIM card information in the SIM card when it is detected that the communication baseband processor or other peripheral device needs to perform preset processing, where the preset processing is implemented based on the SIM card information; receiving a response instruction sent by the SIM card, wherein the response instruction carries SIM card information;
the application processor 601 is further configured to perform preset processing according to the SIM card information to obtain a processing result, and send the processing result to other peripheral devices, or send the SIM card information to a communication baseband processor or other peripheral devices;

In one possible embodiment, the SIM module 602 is integrated within the application processor 601.
In one possible embodiment, the SIM card supported by the SIM module 602 includes, but is not limited to, one or more modes of a SIM card of a GSM network, a UIM card of a CDMA network, a WCDMA USIM card, a USIM card/ISIM card of an LTE network, and a USIM card of a 5G/6G network. Such as supporting both the SIM card and the USIM card.
In one possible embodiment, SIM module 602 supports single-card or multi-card slots, each of which supports a SIM card as described above as supported by SIM module 602. The SIM card supported by the SIM module 602 includes, but is not limited to, one mode or a combination of multiple modes of a SIM card of a GSM network, a UIM card of a CDMA network, a USIM card of a WCDMA network, a USIM card/ISIM card of an LTE network, and a USIM card of a 5G/6G network. Such as supporting both the SIM card and the USIM card.
In one possible embodiment, other peripheral devices using the SIM card information include devices that can perform relevant user identification, data storage, and encryption/decryption using the information in the SIM card, including but not limited to WIFI modules, GNSS modules, Bluetooth modules, NFC modules, and smart camera modules.
Specifically, the detailed description of the present implementation can refer to the related description of the embodiments shown in fig. 4 and fig. 5, and will not be described here.
The scheme of the application optimizes the product combination of the existing wireless chip by decoupling the baseband and the SIM in the modem. The structure of the intelligent communication terminal chip disclosed by the scheme of the application has the advantages that the application processor controls the reading and writing of the SIM, and compared with various different access modules (no matter 3GPP, Non-3GPP access (such as WiFi) or even wired access modes), a set of uniform network access parameters can be kept to be used as registration, access and safety control of each module, and uniform and consistent access service is provided for users.
According to the scheme, competition selection and scheme design of the wireless access modules are optimized at the same time, a mobile phone terminal manufacturer can freely select to close and open a plurality of wireless access modules (WIFI and modems supporting different modes) according to control of the application processor, and power consumption is reduced to the maximum extent. According to different application scenes and user settings, the service experience is greatly improved, and the modulator-demodulator which can not work is not in a working state for obtaining the information in the SIM.
In addition, more software processes of the application processor are more rapid in accessing data (such as a telephone book, short messages and other user data) in the SIM card. By means of the coupling of the SIM and the application processor, the management capability of the SIM card for user application data can be further improved.
In the prior art, the cloud SIM has already realized the application of the SIM card as the remote internet, i.e. the relevant information of the SIM card is stored on the remote server, thereby realizing the decoupling of the SIM card and the local computer/communication module, and greatly expanding the application range of the information in the SIM card. Generally, the cloud SIM implementation is based on the existence of a wireless communication link, and if a SIM card is required for any wireless communication link, the SIM card must exist locally in the smart terminal. The cloud SIM scheme cannot get rid of the SIM card, and only increases the flexibility and expansibility of the use of the Internet SIM card.
