[Prior Art] Today's mobile device systems generally use special smart card applications. At the same time, mobile communication network operators and mobile terminal manufacturers are providing more and more services and applications to customers. However, many known wireless mobile communication devices ("mobile devices") support different types of communication network connections and data exchanges for different information sources or destination systems. At the same time, the latest mobile phones are often given the ability to communicate with both data and voice, and to exchange public and private information through remote communication terminals, including connecting to online web servers and data servers through users. In fact, there are a large number of applications for developing mobile devices. It is well known that the tribute of the mobile device is stored in a small silicon wafer of the SI Leica connected to the terminal device. The storage device is disposed on the wafer for storing the data and for use in the terminal device as if the microcontroller were acting as a processor unit. In some circumstances, the processor functions can also be properly configured in the terminal device module. 200842706 For a known type of SIM card, there is a standard connection method in the mobile terminal device, which includes electrically connecting the SIM card to the mobile terminal device with the connection pin.
