and the eSIM service transaction APP sends an opening request to the service transaction system.
In this embodiment, when a user wants to open a card after installing an eSIM service of an operator on a mobile phone terminal with an eUICC chip to transact an APP, an opening request may be sent to an operator system through a card opening function on the APP. Specifically, after receiving a card opening instruction of a user, the eSIM service transaction APP can interact with the BSS to complete user real identity authentication and mobile phone number selection, and after completing the user card opening subscription, initiates an eSIM card opening service process. The eSIM business transaction APP interacts with the LPA, and the LPA verifies whether a digital signature of the eSIM business transaction APP is applied by an operator. And if the verification is passed, the eSIM service transaction APP acquires the EID of the eUICC from the LPA module.
In this embodiment, after receiving an opening request sent by an eSIM service transaction APP for a card opening instruction of a user, the service acceptance system may forward the opening request to a card number resource management system, and after receiving the opening request, the card number resource management system generates an IMSI and an ICCID corresponding to a mobile phone number to be opened, and establishes a mapping relationship between the mobile phone number to be opened, a local EID, the generated IMSI, and the generated ICCID; and simultaneously, the card number resource management system returns the generated IMSI and the generated ICCID corresponding to the mobile phone number to be opened to the service acceptance system.
It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the mobile phone number is easy to be readable by the user and is used for dialing by the user, and the actual control data between the systems of the operator is the IMSI, that is, the IMSI is used to identify the user; the ICCID is data for managing card number resources and is used for identifying the SIM card, and the card number resource management system establishes a mapping relation by forming a correlation among the mobile phone number to be opened, the local EID, the generated IMSI and the generated ICCID, so that a user can correctly access a selected operator network through the mobile phone number.
In this embodiment, after the service acceptance system receives the IMSI and the ICCID returned by the card number resource management system, the to-be-provisioned mobile phone number, the generated IMSI, and the generated ICCID are sent to the service provisioning system, so that the service provisioning system and the HLR interact to complete provisioning operation of the to-be-provisioned mobile phone number on the network side.
In this embodiment, after the mobile phone number to be provisioned is provisioned on the network side, the service acceptance system sends the provisioned mobile phone number, the local EID, the generated IMSI, and the generated ICCID to the eSIM management platform, so that the eSIM management platform generates a Profile file corresponding to the provisioned mobile phone number based on the received mobile phone number, the local EID, the generated IMSI, and the generated ICCID, and returns a Profile file ready message to the service acceptance system.
In this embodiment, after receiving the Profile file ready message returned by the eSIM management platform, the service handling system sends an opening response message to the eSIM service handling APP, so as to indicate that the mobile phone number to be opened is successfully opened and the Profile file is ready.
Optionally, the provisioning request carries a mobile phone number to be provisioned again and a local EID, and the eSIM service handling APP sends the provisioning request to the service handling system according to a provisioning instruction of the user, which may specifically include:
the eSIM service transaction APP receives a card supplementing instruction of a user;
the eSIM service transaction APP performs identity verification on the user based on the interaction of the card supplementing instruction and the service transaction system;
if the verification is passed, the eSIM service transaction APP acquires the mobile phone number which is input by the user and needs to be re-opened, and sends an EID acquisition request to the local Profile agent, wherein the EID acquisition request carries a digital signature of the eSIM service transaction APP;
after receiving the EID acquisition request, the local Profile agent verifies the digital signature, and sends a local EID to the eSIM service transaction APP after the verification is passed;
and the eSIM service transaction APP sends an opening request to the service transaction system.
In this embodiment, if the user has written the original Profile file in the eUICC of the original mobile phone terminal through the card opening instruction in the original mobile phone terminal, and the network side also has the original EID, the original IMSI, and the original ICCID corresponding to the mobile phone number, because the original mobile phone terminal is replaced, damaged, or lost, the user may perform the re-opening operation on the original mobile phone number on the new mobile phone terminal.
In this embodiment, when a user wants to perform a card-supplementing operation after installing an eSIM service of an operator on a new mobile phone terminal having an eUICC chip to handle an APP, an open request may be sent to an operator system through a card-supplementing function on the APP. Specifically, the eSIM service transaction APP receives a card supplementing instruction of the user, then can interact with the BSS to complete user real identity authentication and input of a mobile phone number, and initiates an eSIM card supplementing service flow after the user card supplementing subscription is completed. The eSIM business transaction APP interacts with the LPA, and the LPA verifies whether a digital signature of the eSIM business transaction APP is applied by an operator. And if the verification is passed, the eSIM service transaction APP acquires the EID of the eUICC from the LPA module.
In this embodiment, after the service acceptance system receives an opening request sent by an eSIM service handling APP for a user's card supplementing instruction, the service acceptance system may forward the opening request to the card number resource management system, and after the card number resource management system receives the opening request, the card number resource management system queries the original EID, the original IMSI, and the original ICCID corresponding to the mobile phone number to be re-opened, and regenerates the IMSI and the ICCID corresponding to the mobile phone number to be re-opened, and establishes a mapping relationship between the mobile phone number to be re-opened, the local EID, the generated IMSI, and the generated ICCID; and simultaneously, the card number resource management system returns the original EID, the original IMSI, the original ICCID, the generated IMSI and the generated ICCID corresponding to the mobile phone number needing to be reconnected to the service acceptance system.
It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the card supplementing needs to invalidate the original SIM card data, and regenerate the new IMSI and ICCID, and record the new mapping relationship on the card number resource management system.
In this embodiment, after the service acceptance system receives the original EID, the original IMSI, the original ICCID, the generated IMSI, and the generated ICCID returned by the card number resource management system, the mobile phone number to be rebooted, the original IMSI, the original ICCID, the generated IMSI, and the generated ICCID are sent to the service provisioning system, so that the service provisioning system and the home location register HLR interact to logout the original IMSI and the original ICCID, and the mobile phone number to be rebooted is rebooted using the generated IMSI and the generated ICCID.
In this embodiment, after the mobile phone number to be re-opened is re-opened on the network side, the service acceptance system sends the re-opened mobile phone number, the original EID, the local EID, the generated IMSI, and the generated ICCID to the eSIM management platform, so that the eSIM management platform performs a deactivation operation on the original Profile file according to the original EID, regenerates a new Profile file for the re-opened mobile phone number according to the local EID, the generated IMSI, and the generated ICCID, and returns a Profile file ready message to the service acceptance system.
In this embodiment, after receiving the Profile file ready message returned by the eSIM management platform, the service handling system sends an opening response message to the eSIM service handling APP, so as to indicate that the mobile phone number that needs to be re-opened is successfully re-opened and a new Profile file is ready.
Step S104: the eSIM service transaction APP receives an opening response message sent by the service transaction system based on the opening request;
step S106: the eSIM service transaction APP sends a download instruction to the local Profile agent based on the opening response message, and the download instruction carries an address of an eSIM management platform;
step S108: and the local Profile agent applies to an eSIM management platform corresponding to the address of the eSIM management platform for downloading a mobile phone number to be opened or a Profile file corresponding to the mobile phone number needing to be opened again according to the downloading instruction, and writes the downloaded Profile file into the eUICC.
It should be noted that, in various embodiments of the present application, the Profile refers to a general term of a series of files and data related to a certain service provider, which are stored and run inside the eUICC, specifically includes a set of card data and card applications required by an operator to provide services to a user, and the user can access a selected operator network by using the Profile in the eUICC card.
It should be noted that, in this embodiment, if the card is repaired, even if the Profile in the eUICC of the mobile phone terminal is not deleted, the LPA may delete the original Profile and write the new Profile into the LPA before writing the new Profile, but in order to ensure the user experience, the eSIM management platform may set the old Profile to a deactivated and deletable state. For example, a user performs a card supplementing operation on a new mobile phone terminal, after an original mobile phone terminal is started and networked through WiFi, an LPA of the original mobile phone terminal queries an eSIM management platform to obtain a deactivated and deletable state of an original Profile, in order to not influence the display of an upper-layer card management application state, the LPA deletes the original Profile, and at this time, the user sees that the current eUICC does not have an eSIM card, so that secondary sales of the terminal is not influenced.
The method for opening the eSIM card provided by the embodiment of the invention has the advantages that the interaction between the APP and the service acceptance system and the local Profile agent is handled through the eSIM service, and meanwhile, the user can open the eSIM card without going to a business hall by means of the existing operator network architecture, the quick handling of the card opening operation of the eSIM card can be realized under the condition that the user does not sense the eSIM card, and the user experience is greatly improved. In addition, when the mobile phone terminal is replaced, damaged or lost, the interaction between the APP and the service acceptance system and the interaction between the APP and the service acceptance system are handled through the eSIM service, so that a user can perform the card supplementing operation of the eSIM card without going to a business hall, and the card supplementing operation does not influence the secondary use or secondary sale of the old mobile phone terminal while the original eSIM card is invalid, thereby solving the problem that the existing mobile phone terminal cannot realize the card supplementing function of the eSIM card.
