Description

eSIM card, card application processing and setting method, terminal and platform equipment

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of communication, in particular to an eSIM card, a card application processing and setting method, a terminal and platform equipment.

Background

An eSIM (Embedded SIM) card belongs to a special SIM card, and a conventional SIM card is directly Embedded into a device chip, rather than being added to a device as an independent removable component, and a user does not need to insert a physical SIM card. One or more profiles (user subscription parameter sets) may be stored on the eUICC (embedded universal integrated circuit), and when a certain Profile is in an activated state, a user may use the Profile to access the network of its home operator. As a "container", an Applet (card application) on the card is contained in one of the profiles. When a certain Profile is in an "activated" state, applets(s) contained in the Profile are in an "activated" state, and can work normally; when a certain Profile is in a "deactivated (Disabled)" state, applets(s) included in the Profile are in a "deactivated" state, and cannot communicate with an external entity.

Based on the existing technical architecture, it may happen that a certain Applet is not available because the Profile in which the Applet is located is in the "deactivated" state. For example: the identification Applet is contained in Profile1 and when a user "deactivates" Profile1, "activates" Profile2, the user will not be able to use the identification Applet as normal.

In summary, the prior art solutions have the following disadvantages:

the Applet must be included in the Profile and if the Profile is "deactivated" the Applet will also become unavailable.

wherein, the card application is correspondingly provided with a Profile Identification (PID) field;

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, different profiles on the eSIM card correspond to different Profile identifiers. That is, the eSIM card sets an ID (i.e., PID) for each Profile, and the PID is used to uniquely identify a certain Profile, which is not duplicated on one eSIM card.

Optionally, in the above embodiment of the present invention, the plurality of card applications on the eSIM card correspond to different or the same card identifications (AIDs). A single eSIM card may contain multiple identical AIDs, but only one of the multiple identical AIDs needs to be activated, and the others need to be deactivated.

In the embodiment of the invention, the eSIM card sets the attributive Profile identification field for the Applet, and if the Profile identification field is NULL, the Applet is not attributed to any Profile.

In summary, in the embodiment of the present invention, the card application Applet is set to exist in the eSIM card independently of the Profile, and the available state of the card application Applet is not changed due to a change in the activation state of the Profile, so that the flexibility of the card application is improved.

2. a user selects a first Applet to be downloaded through a terminal;

3. the terminal prompts the state of the user after installation according to the Profile attribute of the first Applet set on the platform side, and the user can choose to approve or reject;

4. if the user selects to reject, the process is ended;

5. if the user chooses to agree, the Applet is installed to the eSIM card;

the eSIM card checks the card identification AID of the first Applet to see whether the card identification AID conflicts with the AID of the existing Applet on the eSIM card (note that the Applet AID on the eSIM card is not allowed to be repeated);

7. if the AID of the first Applet to be installed conflicts with the AID of a certain existing Applet on the card, the eSIM card returns conflict information for the user to decide;

8. the user selects according to the conflict situation;

9. if the user refuses to install, the process is ended;

10. if the AID conflicts and the user selects to continue installation, setting the existing Applet on the eSIM card to be in a 'deactivation' state, and downloading and installing a first Applet; and if no conflict exists, directly downloading and installing the first Applet.

As shown in fig. 4, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for modifying a state of a card application, which is applied to a terminal including an eSIM card, and includes:

step 41, if the card applications installed on the eSIM card of the terminal include the same card identifiers of at least two card applications, determining the card application selected by the selection operation in response to the selection operation of the user on one of the at least two card applications with the same card identifier;

step 42, in response to the activation operation on the selected card application, setting the selected card application to an activated state; alternatively, the selected card application is set to a deactivated state in response to a deactivation operation of the selected card application.

The user can modify the activation state of the card application Applet in the embodiment of the invention, and the modification comprises the modification of the Applet from the activation state to the deactivation state and the modification of the Applet from the deactivation state to the activation state.

Specifically, in response to an activation operation on the selected card application, when the selected card application is set to the activated state, since at most one card application of at least two card applications with the same card identifier may be set to the activated state, the method further includes:

As an alternative embodiment, the step 42 of setting the selected card application to the activated state in response to the activation operation on the selected card application includes:

In short, if a certain card application Applet is located under a certain inactive Profile, the Applet must activate the Profile first.

In summary, in the embodiment of the present invention, the user can flexibly set the activation state of the Applet to solve the problem of AID conflict.

As shown in fig. 5, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for modifying a Profile of a subscription parameter set of a card application, where the method is applied to a terminal including an eSIM card, and a Profile identification field is correspondingly set in a card application installed on the eSIM card, where the method includes:
