In the embodiment of the present invention, the mobile terminal may store communication information of a user identity identification module, where the user identity recognition module belongs to another mobile terminal, so that the mobile terminal may identify the communication information of the module according to the stored user identity. Conduct PS business. In the embodiment of the present invention, the user identity recognition module includes: a SIM card or a USIM card. The user identity module belongs to the first mobile terminal, that is, the user identity module is inserted into the first mobile terminal, and the second mobile terminal is used as long as one second mobile terminal saves the communication information of the user identity module. The PS service can be performed according to the stored communication information of the user identity module.

Referring to FIG. 1, in the embodiment of the present invention, the mobile terminal includes: a storage unit 100 and a service processing unit 200. among them,

The storage unit 100 is configured to store communication information of the first user identity module, where the first user identity module belongs to another mobile terminal;

The service processing unit 200 is connected to the storage unit 100, and configured to perform network registration according to the communication information of the first user identity module stored in the storage unit 100 after receiving the first startup command, and after the registration is successful, A packet switched PS service connection is initiated to perform PS service processing.

Here, the first start command corresponds to the communication information of the first user identity module. The storage unit 100 includes: a nonvolatile memory.

The process of the storage unit 100 storing the communication information of the first user identity module includes: inserting the first user identity module into the mobile terminal, so that the mobile terminal acquires the communication information of the first user identity module and stores the information in the storage unit 100 Then, the first user identity module is removed from the mobile terminal. Alternatively, the process includes: inserting the first user identity module into another mobile terminal, and transmitting the communication information of the first user identity module to the mobile terminal in the embodiment for saving by using data communication.

The service processing unit 200 specifically includes: a first authentication module 210, a first registration module 220, and a first service processing module 230.

The first authentication module 210 is configured to perform authentication according to the identity information in the communication information of the first user identity module stored in the storage unit 100 after receiving the first startup command. When the authentication is passed, the first authentication pass instruction is sent to the first registration module 220. Here, the means of authentication can use various existing authentication means, and simple can be password authentication, for example: PIN code; complex can be fingerprint recognition and the like.

The first registration module 220 is configured to perform network registration according to the communication information of the first user identity module stored in the storage unit 100 after receiving the first authentication pass instruction, and after the registration is successful, to the first service The processing module 230 sends a first registration success instruction.

The first service processing module 230 is configured to: after receiving the first registration success instruction, initiate a packet exchange PS service connection, and perform PS service processing.

In the embodiment of the present invention, only the communication information of the first user identity module is stored in the mobile terminal, and the first user identity module is inserted into another mobile terminal for use. When the mobile terminal performs PS service processing, another mobile terminal may be in a power-on state or may not be in a power-on state. When the other terminal is powered on, the geographical locations of the two mobile terminals should not be too far, and they must be ensured that they are under the same exchange coverage, so that the network can simultaneously locate the location of the two terminals. .

When the mobile terminal storing the communication information of the first user identity module performs the PS service processing, the other mobile terminal to which the first user identity module belongs does not generally initiate the PS service. Of course, the other mobile terminal may also perform the PS service. Services, for example: Using time-sharing multiplexing technology, the two mobile terminals can perform different PS services.

At present, the second-generation communication network 2G network does not support the PS service and the circuit switching (CS) service work at the same time. Then, when another mobile terminal to which the first user identity module belongs performs circuit-switched CS service, it must be broken. The PS service connection is opened. At this time, the mobile terminal storing the communication information of the first user identity module also receives the signal that the base station disconnects the PS service. At this time, the mobile terminal also disconnects the PS service, and receives the received data. CS business data is masked. That is, the mobile terminal that stores the communication information of the first user identity module receives the disconnection

The instruction of the PS service connection, first disconnects the established PS service connection, and then the received CS service. Data is masked.

The third-generation communication network 3G network can support the PS service and the CS service to work at the same time. Then, when another mobile terminal to which the first user identity module belongs performs circuit-switched CS service, it is not necessary to disconnect the PS service, and at this time, the storage is performed. The mobile terminal of the communication information of the first user identity module does not have to disconnect the PS service connection, but only needs to block the received CS service data. Because the PS service and the CS service use different channels, regardless of whether the two mobile terminals are in the same base station range, their communication process does not cause mutual interference.

After the mobile terminal storing the communication information of the first user identity module ends the PS service, only the PS service connection with the network is disconnected, and the network logout is not performed, so that the network cannot be paged to the first user identity module. Another mobile terminal. Of course, when it is determined that the other mobile terminal is in the off state or the idle state, the network can be deregistered, so that another mobile terminal can perform normal network registration after being powered on or restarted, thereby using the first user identity module for communication.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the mobile terminal storing the communication information of the first user identity module may also be inserted into the second user identity module, that is, the second user identity module belongs to the mobile terminal. Then, referring to FIG. 2, the mobile terminal includes: not only the storage unit 100 and the service processing unit 200, but also a mode selection unit 300.

The mode selection unit 300 is connected to the storage unit 100 and the second user identity module belonging to the mobile terminal, and is configured to read communication information of the second user identity module belonging to the mobile terminal, and the slave storage unit 100. Reading the communication information of the first user identity module, and present a first startup instruction corresponding to the communication information of the first user identity module, and a second startup instruction corresponding to the communication information of the second user identity module.

In the embodiment of the present invention, when the mobile terminal is powered on, the mode selecting unit 300 reads the communication information of the second user identity module, and reads the communication information of the first user identity module from the storage unit 100, so that Presenting a first start command and a second start command to The user selects, when the user selects the first startup instruction corresponding to the communication information of the first user identity module, the mode selection unit 300 sends the first startup command to the service processing unit 200; when the user selects When the second activation instruction of the communication information of the second user identity module is sent, the mode selection unit 300 sends the second startup command to the service processing unit 200.

In this way, the service processing unit 200 is connected to the storage unit 100 and the mode selection unit 300, and after receiving the first startup command, performs network registration according to the communication information of the first user identity module stored in the storage unit 100. And after the registration is successful, initiate a packet switched PS service connection, and perform PS service processing. Or, after receiving the second startup instruction, performing network registration according to the communication information of the second user identity recognition module, and performing PS communication or circuit-switched CS communication after the registration is successful.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the service processing unit 200 includes: a first authentication module 210, a first registration module 220, and a first service processing module 230, and further includes: a second authentication module 240, a second registration module 250, and a Two service processing modules 260. The specific functions and connection relationships of the first authentication module 210, the first registration module 220, and the first service processing module 230 are the same as those in FIG. 1, and are not described again.

The second authentication module 240 is configured to perform authentication according to the identity information of the communication information of the second user identity module belonging to the mobile terminal after receiving the second startup command, and when the authentication is passed, to the second registration module 250. Sending a second authentication pass instruction;

The second registration module 250 is configured to: after receiving the second authentication pass instruction, perform network registration according to the communication information of the second user identity module, and send the second message to the second service processing module 260 after the registration is successful. Registration success instruction;

The second service processing module 260 is configured to perform PS communication or circuit-switched CS communication after receiving the second registration success instruction.

Certainly, after the mobile terminal storing the communication information of the first user identity module is inserted into the second user identity module, the mobile terminal may not include the mode selection unit 300, and the service The processing unit 200 directly receives the first startup command or the second startup command, so that after receiving the first startup command, the service processing unit 200 performs the communication information of the first user identity module stored in the storage unit 100. After the network is registered, and after the registration is successful, a packet switched PS service connection is initiated to perform PS service processing. Alternatively, after receiving the second start command, the service processing unit 200 performs network registration according to the communication information of the second user identity module, and performs PS communication or circuit switched CS communication after the registration is successful.

The use process of the mobile terminal in the embodiment of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In this embodiment, the user identity recognition module is a SIM card, the mobile terminal 1 stores the communication information of the first SIM card, and the mobile terminal 1 inserts the second SIM card, and the first SIM card is inserted into the mobile terminal 2. That is, the first SIM card belongs to the mobile terminal 2, and the second SIM card belongs to the mobile terminal 1.

The communication network architecture in this embodiment is shown in FIG. 3. The mobile terminal 1 is within the coverage of the base station 1, the mobile terminal 2 is within the coverage of the base station 2, and the base station 1 and the base station 2 are in the same exchange core network. . Under the communication architecture, the process of multiplexing the PS service by the mobile terminal is as shown in FIG. 4, and includes:

Step 401: The mobile terminal 1 reads communication information of all SIM cards.

The communication information of all SIM cards includes: communication information of the SIM card stored by the mobile terminal 1, and communication information of the SIM card attributed to the mobile terminal 1.

Here, the communication information of the first SIM card is stored in the storage unit of the mobile terminal 1, and the mobile terminal 1 inserts the second SIM card. Therefore, the mode selection unit of the mobile terminal 1 reads the communication information of the first SIM card and the Two SIM card communication information.

Step 402: Determine whether the determined startup command is the first startup command, and if yes, execute step 403; otherwise, perform step 406.

Here, the mobile terminal 1 only has communication information of two SIM cards, corresponding to the first activation finger respectively. And the second start command, therefore, determining the start command according to the user's selection. When the user selects the communication information with the first SIM card, the determined start command is the first start command, and step 403 is performed, when the user selects and When the communication information of the second SIM card is determined, the determined startup command is the second startup command, and step 406 is performed.

Of course, when the mobile terminal 1 stores communication information of a plurality of SIM cards, then the communication information of each SIM card corresponds to a startup command, so that different startup commands can be selected.

Step 403: The mobile terminal 1 performs network registration according to the stored communication information of the first SIM card.

Here, the first authentication module of the mobile terminal 1 authenticates the identity according to the PIN code of the first SIM card, and after the authentication is passed, performs network registration according to the communication information of the first SIM card. Of course, when the authentication fails, the first SIM card cannot be used, and thus the network registration cannot be performed, and the use process fails.

In the embodiment of the present invention, if the mobile terminal 2 is powered on before the mobile terminal 1 is powered on or during the booting process of the mobile terminal 1, the mobile terminal 2 also accesses the network through the base station 2 according to the communication information of the inserted first SIM card. And performing network registration. At this time, the mobile terminal 2 can perform the PS service or the CS service according to the communication information of the first SIM card after the registration is successful. In this embodiment, the mobile terminal 1 and the mobile terminal 2 are under the coverage of the core network of an exchange, so that the network can simultaneously locate the locations of the two terminals.

Step 404: The mobile terminal 1 initiates a PS service connection and performs PS service processing.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the mobile terminal 1 performs the PS service, and the mobile terminal 2 mainly performs the CS service. Because the different channels used by the PS and the CS, regardless of whether the mobile terminal 1 and the mobile terminal 2 are in the same base station range, their communication is not Will cause mutual interference.

When the mobile terminal 1 performs the PS service, the mobile terminal 2 does not use the first SIM card for communication services. Of course, the mobile terminal 2 can also perform PS service processing according to the communication information of the first SIM card. At this time, it is possible to implement simultaneous processing of two mobile terminals by using techniques such as time division multiplexing. PS business.

In the process of performing PS service processing by the mobile terminal 1, if the mobile terminal 2 initiates a CS service, for example, making a call or receiving a call. At this time, when the communication network architecture of FIG. 3 is a 2G network architecture, the 2G network architecture does not support the PS service and the CS service work at the same time, then the mobile terminal 2 disconnects the PS service, so that the mobile terminal 1 also receives The base station disconnects the PS service connection, that is, the mobile terminal 1 cannot perform the PS service processing, and the PS service connection is disconnected. When the CS service data sent by the network side is received, the mobile terminal 1 blocks the CS service data and does not respond, that is, does not perform the CS service. In this case, if the mobile terminal 1 wants to resume the PS service, it must be re-enabled to perform network registration.

When the communication network architecture of FIG. 3 is a 3G network architecture, the 3G network architecture supports the PS service and the CS service to work simultaneously. Therefore, the mobile terminal 2 can disconnect the PS service connection or disconnect the PS service connection. The case where the mobile terminal 2 disconnects the PS service connection is as described above, and will not be described again. When the mobile terminal 2 does not disconnect the PS service connection, the mobile terminal 1 does not need to disconnect the PS service connection, and can continue to perform the PS service processing. However, when receiving the CS service data delivered by the network side, the mobile terminal 1 still The CS service data is masked and does not respond, that is, the CS service is not performed.

Step 405: The mobile terminal 1 ends the PS service, disconnects the PS service, and the processing process ends.

In the embodiment of the present invention, since the mobile terminal 2 also performs network registration, the mobile terminal 1 ends the PS service, and only disconnects the PS service connection, and does not perform network logout. Otherwise, the network will not be able to page the mobile terminal 2 . Moreover, when the mobile terminal 1 initiates the PS service again, it only needs to re-establish the PS service connection.

Of course, when the mobile terminal 2 does not perform network registration, here, after the mobile terminal 1 ends the PS service, network registration can also be performed.

Step 406: The mobile terminal 1 performs network registration according to the communication information of the second SIM card. Step 407: After the registration is successful, the mobile terminal 1 performs PS communication or circuit-switched CS communication according to the communication information of the second SIM card. This business process is over.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the application process of step 406 and step 407 is consistent with the prior art, and will not be described again.

It can be seen that, after receiving the first startup command, the mobile terminal in the embodiment of the present invention performs network registration according to the stored communication information of the first user identity identification module, and after the registration is successful, initiates a packet switched PS service connection, and performs The PS service process, where the first user identity module belongs to another mobile terminal, and the first startup command corresponds to the communication information of the first user identity module.

Moreover, when performing the PS service processing, the other mobile terminal generally does not initiate the PS service. Of course, the other mobile terminal can also perform the PS service, for example: using time division multiplexing technology, the two mobile terminals can perform Different PS services.

When the mobile terminal is in the 2G network, when another mobile terminal performs the circuit switched CS service, the mobile terminal receives the instruction to disconnect the PS service, first disconnects the established PS service connection, and then blocks the received CS service data. . Of course, the mobile terminal does not initiate a CS service.

When the mobile terminal is in the 3G network, when another mobile terminal performs the circuit switched CS service, the mobile terminal may disconnect the established PS service connection, or may not disconnect the established PS service connection, but the mobile terminal must receive the The CS business data is masked. Of course, the mobile terminal does not initiate CS services.

When the mobile terminal in the embodiment of the present invention is inserted into the second user identity module, that is, the second user identity module belongs to the mobile terminal, before the mobile terminal receives the first start command corresponding to the first user identity module, , Also includes:

The mobile terminal reads the communication information of the second user identity module belonging to the mobile terminal, and reads the stored communication information of the first user identity module, and presents the first use The first startup instruction corresponding to the communication information of the subscriber identity module, and the second startup instruction corresponding to the communication information of the second subscriber identity module.

In this way, after receiving the first startup command, the mobile terminal performs network registration according to the stored communication information of the first user identity identification module, and initiates packet switching after successful registration.

PS service connection, PS service processing; or,

After receiving the second activation instruction corresponding to the communication information of the second user identity module belonging to the mobile terminal, the mobile terminal performs network registration according to the communication information of the second user identity module, and after the registration is successful, performs PS communication or circuit switched CS communication.

Of course, in the embodiment of the present invention, the mobile terminal may not present the first start command or the second start command, but directly receive the first start command or the second start command, and then perform subsequent service processing.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the storage unit of the mobile terminal may store communication information of one, two or more user identity recognition modules. Each subscriber identity module is assigned to another corresponding mobile terminal. The process of performing PS service processing by the mobile terminal according to the communication information of any one of the user identity modules is as described above.

The mobile terminal in the embodiment of the present invention may store the communication information of the user identity recognition module, and perform PS service processing according to the stored communication information of the user identity identification module. Therefore, multiple mobile terminals may correspond to one user identity recognition module, such that In different locations, multiple mobile terminals use the same user identity module for network registration and perform PS service processing. In this way, the utilization efficiency of the user identification module is improved, and the cost of maintaining multiple user identification modules can also be saved.

Moreover, since the mobile terminal storing the communication information of the user identity module can block the CS service data for the user identity module, the confusion of the CS service is avoided. The spirit and scope of the invention. Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present invention belong to the present invention The present invention is also intended to cover such modifications and variations within the scope of the appended claims.
