Specifically, an eSIM middleware in the eSIM device receives indication information sent by an application program, and manages an eUICC in the eSIM device based on the indication information, and a server with a different communication protocol communicates with the eUICC in the eSIM device based on the middleware, thereby implementing management of the eSIM device.
However, in the prior art, the internet of things device System is diversified, such as a robot Operating System ROS (ROS for short), a Linux System, a Real Time Operating System (RTOS for short), a HelloX System, an AliOS System, etc., and if an eSIM function of the internet of things device is to be developed, a protocol analyzer LPA needs to be developed based on a master control System, but the current master control System does not have the capability of developing the protocol analyzer LPA, so that a large amount of costs such as manpower, technology, Time, and capital are needed, and the management cost of the internet of things device with the eUICC is too high.
Therefore, the eSIM device management method, apparatus, device and storage medium provided in the embodiments of the present application propose to implement an eSIM middleware in a communication module of an internet of things device, and the eSIM middleware is decoupled from an internet of things device master control system, so as to solve the technical problem in the prior art that development and management costs for an internet of things device with an eUICC are too high, so as to save development costs for developing an eSIM function for the internet of things device.
The following several specific embodiments may be combined with each other, and details of the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Example one

in the AT instruction set, the value in the double quotation marks in the instruction is a fixed value, the value in the angle brackets is a variable parameter, and the parameter types of the variable parameter are all character string types. The profile download is asynchronous instructions, the rest are synchronous instructions, in the process of executing the profile download instructions, the EDI instruction can be sent to be acquired and the profile instruction can be deleted, the rest instructions cannot be sent, and otherwise, the download fails.
Optionally, the eSIM middleware receives, based on the API interface, the AT instruction sent by the eSIM management application.

Figure BDA0002333460880000071
and 102, the eSIM middleware manages the eUICC in the eSIM equipment according to the indication information.
The eUICC is an embedded SIM card, and can replace an operator based on an Over the Air technology (OTA), and compared with a traditional plug-in SIM card, the eUICC has functions of water resistance, dust resistance, shock resistance and the like, and the current patch SIM card does not have the function of replacing the operator by the OTA.
Specifically, a communication module in the eSIM device is integrated with the eUICC, and after receiving an AT instruction sent by an eSIM management application, the eSIM in the communication module locally manages the eUICC according to instruction information corresponding to the received AT instruction, which mainly includes operations such as profile downloading, activation, deletion, and the like.
