图 1是本发明实施例提供的一种切换运营商网络的方法的流程图。 该 实施例的执行主体为 UE ( User Equipment, 用户设备), 参见图 1 , 该实施 例具体包括:
101、 用户设备 UE获知需要从第一运营商网络切换到第二运营商网络 时, 所述 UE向 eUICC ( embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card, 嵌入式 通用集成电路卡 )发送请求消息, 以使所述 eUICC向所述第二运营商网络 的远程管理平台发送切换到第二运营商网络的请求, 从而使得所述第二运 营商网络的远程管理平台对所述 eUICC进行验证;
对于本发明来说, 所述第二运营商网络的远程管理平台对所述 eUICC 进行验证, 是指第二运营商网络的远程管理平台直接或间接向第一运营商 网络发送验证请求消息, 该验证请求消息携带所述 eUICC的标识, 使得所 述第一运营商网络根据所述 eUICC的标识,对 eUICC进行验证并直接或间 接的向所述第二运营商网络的远程管理平台发送验证结果。 当第二运营商 网络的远程管理平台和第一运营商网络的远程管理平台为同一个远程管理 平台时, 由该第二运营商网络的远程管理平台直接向第一运营商网络发送 验证请求消息, 该验证请求消息携带所述 eUICC的标识, 使得所述第一运 营商网络根据所述 eUICC的标识,对 eUICC进行验证并直接向所述第二运 营商网络的远程管理平台发送险证结果。 而当第二运营商网络的远程管理 平台和第一运营商网络的远程管理平台不是同一个远程管理平台时, 第二 运营商网络的远程管理平台向第一运营商网络的远程管理平台发送险证请 求消息, 该验证请求消息携带所述 eUICC的标识, 使得所述第一运营商网 络的远程管理平台向第一运营商网络发送所述验证请求消息, 使得所述第 一运营商网络根据所述 eUICC的标识,对 eUICC进行验证并向所述第一运 营商网络的远程管理平台发送险证结果, 再由第一运营商网络的远程管理 服务器将该验证结果发送给第二运营商网络的远程管理平台。 而对于 eUICC来说, 其接收到的指示消息均是由第二运营商网络的远 程管理平台根据该远程管理平台接收到的验证结果发送的。
102、 所述 UE接收所述 eUICC的指示, 根据所述指示切换或不切换到 所述第二运营商网络。
本发明实施例提供的方法,通过用户设备 UE获知需要从第一运营商网 络切换到第二运营商网络时, 所述 UE向嵌入式通用集成电路卡 eUICC发 送请求消息, 以使所述 eUICC向所述第二运营商网络的远程管理平台发送 切换到第二运营商网络的请求, 从而使得所述第二运营商网络的远程管理 平台对所述 eUICC进行验证, 并根据验证结果向 eUICC返回指示消息, 使 得 eUICC根据指示消息向 UE发送指示;所述 UE接收所述 eUICC的指示, 根据所述指示切换或不切换到所述第二运营商网络。 采用本发明的技术方 案, 能够根据当前为 UE服务的运营商网络对 UE的安全性进行验证, 从而 在 UE进行运营商网络切换的过程中,对其进行安全控制,使得非法用户如 恶意欠费、 盗窃设备及克隆卡的用户无法进行运营商网络切换, 提高了 UE 以及 UE用户的安全性。 图 2是本发明实施例提供的一种切换运营商网络的方法的流程图, 为 了便于说明,把当前为 UE提供服务或曾为该 UE提供过服务的运营商网络 称为第一运营商网络, 把切换到的目的运营商网络称为第二运营商网络。 本实施例的交互主体包括 UE、 位于 UE中的 eUICC卡、 远程管理平台、 第 一运营商网络和第二运营商网络, 其中, UE具体可以是移动终端或 M2M ( Machine To Machine, 机器对机器)等, 该移动终端可以为手机、 平板电 脑、 MP3 ( Moving Picture Experts Group Audio Layer III , 动态影像专家压缩 标准音频层面 3 )、 PDA ( Personal Digital Assistant, 个人数字助理)等, 远 程管理平台用于对 eUICC中的签约信息进行管理, 包括签约信息的下载, 删除, 修改等。 远程管理平台可以是 SM ( Subscription Manager, 签约管理 服务器), 远程管理平台还可以由 SM-SR ( Subscription Manager - Secure Routing,签约管理-安全路由服务器)和 SM-DP( Subscription Manager - Data Preparation, 签约管理 -数据预备)组成。 需要说明的是, UE与第二运营商 网络已经签约, 即允许该 UE获取并使用该第二运营商网络的签约信息, 以 便由该第二运营商网络为该 UE提供服务。该第二运营商网络与 UE在签约 后,远程管理平台上保存该 UE中 eUICC的标识,如 ICCID( Integrate Circuit Card Identity, 集成电路卡识别码), 以便在接收到该标识时, 允许该第二运 营商网络为该 UE提供服务。 为了详细说明具体流程, 本实施例仅以 UE尚 未进行过运营商网络切换, 且该 UE中的 eUICC未保存第二运营商网络的 签约信息的场景为例进行说明。 参见图 2, 该实施例具体包括:
201、 所述 UE检测是否满足预设切换条件;
本实施例中, 预设切换条件可以至少包括下述任意一种: UE失去所述 第一运营商网络覆盖、 UE的地理位置发生变化、 UE的时钟时间到达预设 时间段或 UE发生预设事件。
( 1 ) UE的地理位置发生变化。 为了使 UE在不同的地理区域里, 可 以根据实际需要使用不同的运营商网络, 因此, 可以以地理位置发生变化 作为触发步骤 202的判断过程的预设切换条件,具体地, 当 UE检测到自身 的地理位置发生变化时,如检测到该 UE由一个地理区域漫游到了另一个地 理区域时, 则 UE满足预设切换条件, 触发步骤 202的判断过程。 具体地, UE可以根据小区广播或者 GPS ( Global Positioning System,全球定位系统 ) 获知自身的地理位置, 并根据当前自身的地理位置判断是否发生了地理位 置的变化, 也可以通过其他方式获知是否发生了地理位置的变化, 本发明 对此不作限定。
( 2 ) UE的时钟时间到达预设时间段。 为了使 UE在不同的时间段里, 可以使用不同的运营商网络, 因此, 可以以时钟时间到达了预设时间段作 为触发步骤 202的判断过程的预设切换条件。具体地,可以为 UE设置预设 时间段以及该预设时间段内为该 UE提供服务的运营商网络,UE检测该 UE 的时钟时间是否到达了预设时间段,当该 UE的时钟时间到达了该预设时间 段时, 则 UE满足预设切换条件, 触发步骤 202的判断过程。 其中, 该预设 时间段可以为一个或一个以上, 本发明在此不 具体限定。 例如, 当前为 UE提供服务的运营商网络为中国联通, 而预设时间段为 17: 00-20: 00, 该预设时间段内提供服务的运营商网络为中国移动, 则在 17: 00-20: 00 以外的时间内由中国联通为 UE提供服务, 而当时钟时间到达了预设时间 段, 即 17: 00-20: 00时, 该 UE满足了预设切换条件, 触发步骤 202以及 后续过程, 使得在 17:00-20: 00之间由中国移动为 UE提供服务。 所述时 钟时间到达预设时间段, 可以理解为时钟时间到达预设时间, 该预设时间 可以为所述预设时间段中的一个时间点, 如可以为预设时间段 17: 00-20: 00这段时间中的任意一个时刻。
( 3 ) UE发生预设事件。将预设事件作为触发步骤 202和后续过程的预 设切换条件,使得 UE发生预设事件后,可以由与该预设事件发生前不同的 运营商网络提供服务。 例如, 预设事件为上网。 若为 UE提供服务的第一运 营商网络为中国移动, 当发生上网事件时, 触发步骤 202 以及后续过程, 使得 UE切换到第二运营商网络(假设为中国电信), 从而可以在整个上网 的过程中一直由中国电信提供服务。
( 4 ) UE失去第一运营商网络(即当前网络)覆盖。 当 UE失去当前网 络覆盖, 可自动切换到其他运营商网络。
具体地, 当 UE检测到第一运营商网络的信号强度低于预设阈值时, 则 可以认为已经失去第一运营商网络覆盖, 该信号强度检测为现有技术所公 开, 在此不再赘述。
可选地, 该步骤 201之前, 该方法还可以包括: 设置 UE的预设切换条 件。 该预设切换条件可以由用户根据使用需要进行设置和调整, 本发明对 此不做具体限定。 另外, UE可以提供设置该预设切换条件的界面, 供用户 进行预设切换条件的设置, 在该界面中还可以为用户提供提醒步骤, 使得 用户能够根据该提醒步骤, 进行预设切换条件的设置。
202、 当通过检测获知 UE满足预设切换条件时, UE判断 eUICC中是 否保存有第二运营商网络的签约信息, 如果否, 执行步骤 203;
当通过检测获知 UE满足预设切换条件时,则用户设备 UE可以获知需 要从第一运营商网络切换到第二运营商网络。用户设备 UE还可以通过其他 方式获知需要从第一运营商网络切换到第二运营商网络, 如接收到用户的 切换指示等, 本发明实施例对此不作限定。
其中,第二运营商网络的签约信息为 UE与第二运营商网络之间的签约 信息, 是判断 UE是否已与第二运营商网络签约的根据。 具体地, 该签约信 息可以为 UE的电话号码。 通过判断 UE的 eUICC中是否保存有第二运营 商网络的签约信息, 可以确定该 UE是否首次向该第二运营商网络进行切 换, 如果 eUICC保存有第二运营商网络的签约信息, 则该 UE曾经执行过 向第二运营商网络的切换, 如果 UE的 eUICC中未保存有第二运营商网络 的签约信息, 则该 UE是首次向该第二运营商网络进行切换。
本领域技术人员可以获知,若检测到 UE未满足预设切换条件,则可以 继续由第一运营商网络为 UE提供服务。
需要说明的是, 本实施例仅以 UE的 eUICC中未保存有第二运营商网 络的签约信息为例进行说明, 在后续的实施例中会对 eUICC保存有第二运 营商网络的签约信息的场景进行具体说明。
另外, 该步骤 202由 UE在满足预设切换条件时, 向 eUICC发起判断 请求, 从而使得 eUICC判断其是否保存有第二运营商网络的签约信息, 并 将判断结果告知给 UE;或所述 UE向 eUICC查询当前保存的运营商网络的 签约信息中是否包含第二运营商网络的签约信息, 若是则判断为当前 eUICC中保存有第二运营商网络的签约信息。
这里所述的运营商网络的签约信息可以包括接入运营商网络所需的可 操作配置 ( operational profile )。
203、 UE向 eUICC发送获取所述第二运营商网络的签约信息的请求消 息, 以使所述 eUICC向所述第二运营商网络的远程管理平台请求获取所述 第二运营商网络的签约信息;
进一步地, eUICC向 UE发送建立数据通道请求消息, 当 UE接收到建 立数据通道请求消息时, UE根据远程管理平台信息, 与远程管理平台建立 数据通道; 其中, eUICC 向 UE发送建立数据通道请求消息可以理解为 eUICC通过第一运营商网络或 MVNO ( Mobile Virtual Network Operator , 移动虚拟网络运营商网络)向 UE发起建立数据通道请求消息,所述建立数 据通道请求消息用于请求 UE在 UE与远程管理平台之间建立数据通道。
其中, 该远程管理平台信息保存于 eUICC中。 本领域技术人员可以获 知, 远程管理平台信息可以包括远程管理平台地址等。
需要说明的是, eUICC通过 UE与远程管理平台建立了一条数据通道, UE虽然在中间起到转发的作用, 但是可以不解析 eUICC与远程管理平台 间交互的内容, 因此从逻辑上 eUICC与远程管理平台可以是直连。
本实施例后续的 UE与远程管理平台之间的信令交互均是通过该 UE与 远程管理平台建立的数据通道实现。
204、 eUICC向 UE发送第二请求消息, 所述第二请求消息用于请求获 取所述第二运营商网络的签约信息, 所述第二请求消息携带所述 eUICC的 ICCID;
需要说明的是, eUICC向 UE发送第二请求消息, 由 UE将该请求发送 给远程管理平台, 该过程实质上是 eUICC与远程管理平台之间的交互。
205、 UE 向远程管理平台发送所述第二请求消息, 所述第二请求消息 携带所述 eUICC的 ICCID;
本发明实施例仅以 eUICC的标识为 ICCID为例进行说明, 优选地, 该 eUICC的标识还可以为 IMSI ( International Mobile Subscriber Identity, 国际 移动用户标识 )或 IMEI ( International Mobile Equipment Identity, 国际移动 设备身份码)等。 可选的, 该第二请求消息携带 ICCID, 还可以携带 eUICC 的其他标识, 如 IMSI和 /或 IMEI。
该步骤 204-205是 eUICC向所述第二运营商网络的远程管理平台请求 获取第二运营商网络的签约信息的过程。
206、 当远程管理平台接收到 UE发送的第二请求消息时, 获取该 UE 的第一运营商网络的签约信息;
需要说明的是, UE上所保存的第一运营商网络的签约信息可以有一个 或多个,可以包括当前为该 UE提供服务的运营商网络的签约信息,还可以 包括曾经为该 UE提供服务的其他运营商网络的签约信息。 因此, 可选地, 当远程管理平台接收到 UE发送的第二请求消息时,可以获取远程管理平台 所保存的该 UE的一个或多个第一运营商网络的签约信息, 即: 可以获取远 程管理平台所保存的该 UE的任一个第一运营商网络的签约信息,或,可以 获取远程管理平台所保存的该 UE的所有第一运营商网络的签约信息, 或, 可以获取远程管理平台所保存的该 UE的多个第一运营商网络的签约信息。
具体地,获取该 UE的第一运营商网络的签约信息包括但不限于下列任 一方法: ( 1 )根据该 eUICC的 ICCID, 判断远程管理平台中是否预先保存 了该 UE的第一运营商网络的签约信息,如果是, 则远程管理平台从本地获 取该 UE的第一运营商网络的签约信息, 如果否, 则远程管理平台向 UE发 送获取运营商网络的签约信息的消息, 由 UE从其 eUICC获取第一运营商 网络的签约信息,使得该 UE返回 UE当前保存的第一运营商网络的签约信 息。 (2 )当 UE发送的第二请求消息中携带该 UE的第一运营商网络的签约 信息时, 获取第二请求消息中的第一运营商网络的签约信息。 207、 远程管理平台根据获取的第一运营商网络的签约信息, 向该第一 运营商网络的签约信息对应的第一运营商网络发送险证请求消息, 该验证 请求消息携带 eUICC的 ICCID;
其中, 该验证请求消息携带 ICCID, 进一步的, 该验证请求消息中还 可以携带 IMSI和 /或 IMEI。
需要说明的是,由于 UE上所保存的第一运营商网络的签约信息可以包 括当前为该 UE提供月良务的运营商网络的签约信息, 还可以包括曾经为该 UE提供服务的其他运营商网络的签约信息, 因此, 该验证请求消息的发送 对象可以是一个或多个, 本实施例仅以发送对象为一个运营商网络为例进 行说明。 例如, 终端设备的第一运营商网络为北京移动和北京电信, 当远 程管理平台获取到该 UE的第一运营商网络信息时,向该第一运营商网络信 息对应的第一运营商网络即北京移动和北京电信发送 ^ 证请求消息。
208、 第一运营商网络接收到远程管理平台发送的验证请求消息时, 根 据验证请求消息携带的 ICCID对设置于 UE中的 eUICC进行验证;
其中, 对该 UE进行验证是根据验证请求消息携带的 ICCID对该 UE 是否为合法设备进行验证,具体可以包括: 当验证请求消息中仅携带 eUICC 的 ICCID时, 第一运营商网络可通过 ICCID获取其对应的 IMEI, 并根据 IMEI和 ICCID验证该 UE是否为欠费设备, 和 /或验证该 UE是否为盗窃设 备等;
进一步地,当验证请求消息中携带了 ICCID和 IMEI时,则根据该 IMEI 和 ICCID验证该 UE是否为欠费设备, 和 /或验证该 UE是否为盗窃设备, 和 /或验证该 UE中的 eUICC卡是否为克隆卡等。
对 UE进行验证具体可以包括如下中的至少一个:
(一)验证该 UE是否为欠费设备, 具体可以包括: 第一运营商网络根 据 ICCID获取用户的 IMSI ( International Mobile Subscriber Identity, 国际 移动用户标识), 并根据 IMSI查询计费服务器, 根据该计费服务器的用户 计费信息, 以确定该 IMSI所对应的用户是否欠费, 如果查询获知该用户为 且该验证结果包含欠费信息, 以便指示所述 UE欠费, 如果查询获知该 UE 未欠费, 则向远程管理平台发送的验证结果为验证通过;
(二)验证该 UE是否为盗窃设备, 具体包括: 第一运营商网络根据 IMEI查询 EIR( Equipment Identity Register, 设备标识寄存器) , EIR包含 一个或者多个数据库, 该数据库用来存储 UE的 IMEI信息(白名单、 灰名 单、黑名单 ),根据 IMEI查询该 IMEI是否在黑名单上,如果是, 则该 IMEI 所对应的设备为盗窃设备。如果该 UE是盗窃设备,则在步骤 209中向远程 管理平台发送的验证结果为验证未通过, 该验证结果携带指示该设备为非 法设备的标识, 指示所述 UE验证未通过, 还可以指示锁定所述 eUICC, 若该用户设备不是盗窃设备, 则向远程管理平台发送的验证结果为验证通 过。
(三 )验证该 UE中的 eUICC是否为克隆卡, 具体包括: 判断第一运 营商网络保存的 ICCID对应的 IMEI与该验证请求消息携带的 ICCID对应 的 IMEI是否相同, 如果是, 则该 UE的 eUICC卡正常, 在步骤 209向远程 管理平台的险证结果为险证通过, 如果否, 在步骤 209向远程管理平台的 验证结果为验证未通过, 且该验证结果还可以携带锁定设备指令, 以便指 示所述 UE验证未通过, 且指示锁定所述 eUICC。 每个 UE的 IMEI对应唯 一的 ICCID, ICCID是 eUICC的唯一识别号码, 并且 ICCID和 IMEI是一 一对应、 不可变更的, 因此通过分析 ICCID和 IMEI的对应关系可获知该 UE中的 eUICC是否为克隆卡。
209、 第一运营商网络向该远程管理平台返回验证结果, 若验证通过, 则继续执行后续步骤 210; 若验证未通过, 则跳转到步骤 214;
210、 远程管理平台获取第二运营商网络的签约信息和第二运营商网络 的相关配置信息;
在本实施例中, 该步骤 210可以为远程管理平台和第二运营商网络之 间的交互过程, 具体包括: 远程管理平台向第二运营商网络发送第二请求 消息, 该第二请求消息携带 ICCID, 进一步的, 该第二请求消息还可以携 带 IMEI和 /或 IMSI。 第二运营商网络根据第二请求消息携带的 ICCID查询 该 UE是否与与第二运营商网络签订了协议,如果是, 则将第二运营商网络 的签约信息和第二运营商网络的相关配置信息发送给远程管理平台, 也即 是远程管理平台获取第二运营商网络的签约信息和第二运营商网络的相关 配置信息。 其中, 该相关配置信息可以包括 APN ( Access Point Name, 接 入点)、 SMS ( Short Messaging Service, 短消息服务) 中心号码等; 其中, APN是通过手机上网时必须配置的一个参数, 它决定了手机通过哪种接入 方式来访问网络, 如 CMNET ( China mobile Internet, 中国移动因特网)。 SMS 是一种存储和转发服务, 短消息通过 SMS中心进行转发, 如果接收方处于 未连接状态 (可能电话已关闭), 则消息将在接收方上线时发送。
如果用户出国, 可能会不知道该如何对终端设备中的 APN和 SMS等 关键信息进行配置, 如果未对 APN和 SMS进行配置, 则会造成该终端设 备无法上网和收发短消息的后果。 在切换运营商网络的过程中, 如果可以 获取到 APN和 SMS中心号码的配置参数,就不需要用户自己对 APN和 SMS 进行配置, 给用户带来了很大的方便。
其中, 在第二运营商网络接收到远程管理平台发送的第二请求消息后, 第二运营商网络可以保存该第二请求消息携带的 ICCID, 进一步的, 若该 第二请求消息携带 IMEI和 /或 IMSI , 则可以同时保存该 IMEI和 /或 IMSI , 第二运营商网络保存该 ICCID和 IMEI和 /或 IMSI的目的是为下次切换运营 商网络做准备, 当该 UE下次切换运营商网络时, 同样该第二运营商网络需 要根据保存的该 ICCID和该 IMEI和 /或 IMSI对该 UE进行险证。
211、 远程管理平台通过 UE向 eUICC发送指示消息, 所述指示消息携 带获取到的第二运营商网络的签约信息和第二运营商网络的相关配置信 可选地, 所述指示消息可以指示所述 eUICC 3 证通过和 /或指示所述 eUICC进行切换。
212、 eUICC接收到该指示消息时, 解析接收到的相关配置信息, 并将 解析后的第二运营商网络的相关配置信息发送给 UE;
213、 UE根据解析后的第二运营商网络的相关配置信息进行配置, 使 UE切换至第二运营商网络;
具体地, UE把接收到的第二运营商网络的签约信息和第二运营商网络 相关配置信息发送给 eUICC, eUICC保存接收到的第二运营商网络的签约 信息, 并对接收到的第二运营商网络的相关配置信息进行解析, 把解析结 果发送给 UE, 该 UE接收解析后的相关配置信息, 并根据解析后的相关配 置信息对自身进行配置,使得该 UE切换至第二运营商网络,通过第二运营 商网络进行网络活动, 如上网和接收短消息。
进一步地, eUICC通过 UE断开与远程管理平台的数据通道, 并通过 第二运营商网络使得 UE在 UE与远程管理平台之间建立新的数据通道。具 体地, 该步骤可以为 eUICC向 UE发送断开数据通道的请求消息, UE在接 收到该断开数据通道的请求消息时, 断开与远程管理平台之间的数据通道, 并通过第二运营商网络使得 UE在 UE与远程管理平台之间建立新的数据通 道。 本领域技术人员可以获知, 通过第二运营商网络使得 UE在 UE与远程 管理平台之间建立新的数据通道的具体过程为现有技术所公开, 在此不再 赘述。
进一步地, eUICC还可以通过 UE向远程管理平台发送确认消息, 该 确认消息用于确认该 UE是否已由第二运营商网络提供服务;远程管理平台 获知该确认消息是通过 UE与远程管理平台建立的新的数据通道连接发送, 则可以确认第二运营商网络的签约信息已启用,认为该 UE已由第二运营商 网络提供服务。
进一步地,UE使第一运营商网络的签约信息处于闲置状态( Idle状态)。
214、 远程管理平台接收到的验证结果为未通过, 根据验证结果携带的 内容通过 UE向 eUICC发送指示消息, 使得 eUICC不为所述 UE切换运营 商网络。
具体地, 所述 eUICC接收所述指示消息, 当所述指示消息指示所述 eUICC验证未通过, 则所述 eUICC可以不向所述 UE发送切换指示或者所 述 eUICC可以指示所述 UE不切换到所述第二运营商网络。
需要说明的是,这里的指示消息在实际中可以使用报告 report消息、通 知 inform消息或指示 indicate消息等消息。
可选地, 若该非法用户为盗窃设备和 /或克隆 eUICC, 则远程管理平台 可以指示 eUICC将 eUICC自身置为锁定状态;
可选地, 若该非法用户为欠费设备, 则 eUICC可以继续使用第一运营 商网络的签约信息。 进一步地, 所述 eUICC可以执行欠费提示。
在本发明实施例中,用户设备 UE获知需要从第一运营商网络切换到第 二运营商网络时,所述 UE向嵌入式通用集成电路卡 eUICC发送请求消息, 以使所述 eUICC向所述第二运营商网络的远程管理平台发送切换到第二运 营商网络的请求, 从而使得所述第二运营商网络的远程管理平台对所述 eUICC进行验证, 并根据验证结果向 eUICC返回指示消息,使得 eUICC根 据指示消息向 UE发送指示; 所述 UE接收所述 eUICC的指示, 根据所述 指示切换或不切换到所述第二运营商网络。 采用本发明的技术方案, 能够 根据当前为 UE服务的运营商网络对 UE的安全性进行验证, 从而在 UE进 行运营商网络切换的过程中, 对其进行安全控制, 使得非法用户如恶意欠 费、 盗窃设备及克隆卡的用户无法进行运营商网络切换, 提高了 UE 以及 UE用户的安全性。 进一步地, 本实施例以 eUICC未保存有第二运营商网 络的签约信息为例,对 UE切换运营商网络的过程进行了描述,通过远程管 理平台的安全控制, 提高了 UE以及 UE用户的安全性。 图 3是本发明实施例提供的一种切换运营商网络的方法的流程图, 该 实施例的交互主体与图 2所示实施例相同, 在此不再赘述。 为了详细说明 具体流程, 本实施例仅以 UE曾经进行过运营商网络切换, 且该 UE 中的 eUICC保存有第二运营商网络的签约信息的场景为例进行说明。 参见图 3, 该实施例具体包括:
301、 所述 UE检测是否满足预设切换条件;
本实施例中, 预设切换条件可以至少包括下述任意一种: UE失去所述 第一运营商网络覆盖、 UE的地理位置发生变化、 UE的时钟时间到达预设 时间段或 UE发生预设事件。
( 1 ) UE的地理位置发生变化。 为了使 UE在不同的地理区域里, 可 以根据实际需要使用不同的运营商网络, 因此, 可以以地理位置发生变化 作为触发步骤 302的判断过程的预设切换条件,具体地, 当 UE检测到自身 的地理位置发生变化时,如检测到该 UE由一个地理区域漫游到了另一个地 理区域时, 则 UE满足预设切换条件, 触发步骤 302的判断过程。 具体地, UE可以根据小区广播或者 GPS ( Global Positioning System,全球定位系统 ) 获知自身的地理位置, 并根据当前自身的地理位置判断是否发生了地理位 置的变化, 也可以通过其他方式获知是否发生了地理位置的变化, 本发明 对此不作限定。
( 2 ) UE的时钟时间到达预设时间段。 为了使 UE在不同的时间段里, 可以使用不同的运营商网络, 因此, 可以以时钟时间到达了预设时间段作 为触发步骤 302的判断过程的预设切换条件。具体地,可以为 UE设置预设 时间段以及该预设时间段内为该 UE提供服务的运营商网络,UE检测该 UE 的时钟时间是否到达了预设时间段,当该 UE的时钟时间到达了该预设时间 段时, 则 UE满足预设切换条件, 触发步骤 302的判断过程。 其中, 该预设 时间段可以为一个或一个以上, 本发明在此不 具体限定。 例如, 当前为
UE提供服务的运营商网络为中国联通, 而预设时间段为 17: 00-20: 00, 该预设时间段内提供服务的运营商网络为中国移动, 则在 17: 00-20: 00 以外的时间内由中国联通为 UE提供服务, 而当时钟时间到达了预设时间 段, 即 17: 00-20: 00时, 该 UE满足了预设切换条件, 触发步骤 302以及 后续过程, 使得在 17:00-20: 00之间由中国移动为 UE提供服务。 所述时 钟时间到达预设时间段, 可以理解为时钟时间到达预设时间, 该预设时间 可以为所述预设时间段中的一个时间点, 如可以为预设时间段 17: 00-20: 00这段时间中的任意一个时刻。
( 3 ) UE发生预设事件。将预设事件作为触发步骤 302和后续过程的预 设切换条件,使得 UE发生预设事件后,可以由与该预设事件发生前不同的 运营商网络提供服务。 例如, 预设事件为上网。 若为 UE提供服务的第一运 营商网络为中国移动, 当发生上网事件时, 触发步骤 302 以及后续过程, 使得 UE切换到第二运营商网络(假设为中国电信), 从而可以在整个上网 的过程中一直由中国电信提供服务。
( 4 ) UE失去第一运营商网络(即当前网络)覆盖。 当 UE失去当前网 络覆盖, 可自动切换到其他运营商网络。
具体地, 当 UE检测到第一运营商网络的信号强度低于预设阈值时, 则 可以认为已经失去第一运营商网络覆盖, 该信号强度检测为现有技术所公 开, 在此不再赘述。
可选地, 该步骤 301之前, 该方法还可以包括: 设置 UE的预设切换条 件。 该预设切换条件可以由用户根据使用需要进行设置和调整, 本发明对 此不做具体限定。 另外, UE可以提供设置该预设切换条件的界面, 供用户 进行预设切换条件的设置, 在该界面中还可以为用户提供提醒步骤, 使得 用户能够根据该提醒步骤, 进行预设切换条件的设置。
302、 当通过检测获知 UE满足预设切换条件时, UE判断 eUICC中是 否保存有第二运营商网络的签约信息, 如果是, 执行步骤 303;
当通过检测获知 UE满足预设切换条件时,则用户设备 UE可以获知需 要从第一运营商网络切换到第二运营商网络。
其中,第二运营商网络的签约信息为 UE与第二运营商网络之间的签约 信息, 是判断 UE是否已与第二运营商网络签约的根据。 具体地, 该签约信 息可以为 UE的电话号码。 通过判断 UE的 eUICC中是否保存有第二运营 商网络的签约信息, 可以确定该 UE是否首次向该第二运营商网络进行切 换, 如果 eUICC保存有第二运营商网络的签约信息, 则该 UE曾经执行过 向第二运营商网络的切换, 如果 UE的 eUICC中未保存有第二运营商网络 的签约信息, 则该 UE是首次向该第二运营商网络进行切换。
本领域技术人员可以获知,若检测到 UE未满足预设切换条件,则可以 继续由第一运营商网络为 UE提供服务。
而本实施例与图 2所示实施例的不同之处在于,本实施例是以 UE曾经 进行过运营商网络切换, 且该 UE中的 eUICC保存有第二运营商网络的签 约信息的场景为例进行说明。
303、 UE向 eUICC发送切换至所述第二运营商网络的请求消息, 以使 所述 eUICC向所述第二运营商网络的远程管理平台请求切换至所述第二运 营商网络;
由于用户设备中的 eUICC已保存有第二运营商网络的签约信息, 因此 UE可直接从 eUICC获取该第二运营商网络的签约信息。
进一步地, eUICC向 UE发送建立数据通道请求消息, 当 UE接收到建 立数据通道请求消息时, UE根据远程管理平台信息, 与远程管理平台建立 数据通道; 其中, eUICC 向 UE发送建立数据通道请求消息可以理解为 eUICC通过第一运营商网络或 MVNO ( Mobile Virtual Network Operator , 移动虚拟网络运营商网络)向 UE发起建立数据通道请求消息,所述建立数 据通道请求消息用于请求 UE在 UE与远程管理平台之间建立数据通道。其 中, MVNO是专门为 UE开放的一个频段, 用于运营商网络的签约信息的 传递。
其中, 该远程管理平台信息保存于 eUICC中。 本领域技术人员可以获 知, 远程管理平台信息可以包括远程管理平台地址等。
需要说明的是, eUICC通过 UE与远程管理平台建立了一条数据通道, UE虽然在中间起到转发的作用, 但是可以不解析 eUICC与远程管理平台 间交互的内容, 因此从逻辑上 eUICC与远程管理平台可以是直连。
本实施例后续的 UE与远程管理平台之间的信令交互均是通过该 UE与 远程管理平台建立的数据通道实现。
304、 eUICC向 UE发送第一请求消息, 该第一请求消息用于请求切换 至第二运营商网络, 该第一请求消息携带 eUICC的 ICCID;
本发明实施例仅以 eUICC的标识为 ICCID为例进行说明, 优选地, 该 eUICC的标识还可以为 IMSI ( International Mobile Subscriber Identity, 国际 移动用户标识 )或 IMEI ( International Mobile Equipment Identity, 国际移动 设备身份码)等。 可选的, 该第一请求消息携带 ICCID, 还可以携带 eUICC 的其他标识, 如 IMSI和 /或 IMEI。
305、 UE 向该远程管理平台发送所述第一请求消息, 该第一请求消息 携带该 eUICC的 ICCID;
306、 当远程管理平台接收到 UE发送的第一请求消息时, 获取该 UE 的第一运营商网络的签约信息;
需要说明的是, UE 上所保存的第一运营商网络的签约信息可以有多 个,该多个第一运营商网络的签约信息可以包括当前为该 UE提供服务的运 营商网络的签约信息,还可以包括曾经为该 UE提供月良务的其他运营商网络 的签约信息。 因此, 可选地, 当远程管理平台接收到 UE发送的第一请求消 息时,可以获取远程管理平台所保存的该 UE的一个或多个第一运营商网络 的签约信息, 即: 可以获取远程管理平台所保存的该 UE的任一个第一运营 商网络的签约信息,或,获取远程管理平台所保存的该 UE的所有第一运营 商网络的签约信息,或,获取远程管理平台所保存的该 UE的多个第一运营 商网络的签约信息。
具体地,获取该 UE的第一运营商网络的签约信息包括但不限于下列任 一方法: ( 1 )根据该 eUICC的 ICCID, 判断远程管理平台中是否预先保存 了该 UE的第一运营商网络的签约信息,如果是, 则远程管理平台从本地获 取该 UE的第一运营商网络的签约信息, 如果否, 则远程管理平台向 UE发 送获取运营商网络的签约信息的消息, 由 UE从其 eUICC获取第一运营商 网络的签约信息,使得该 UE返回 UE当前保存的第一运营商网络的签约信 息。 (2 )当 UE发送的第二请求消息中携带该 UE的第一运营商网络的签约 信息时, 获取第二请求消息中的第一运营商网络的签约信息。
307、 远程管理平台根据获取的第一运营商网络的签约信息, 向该第一 运营商网络的签约信息对应的第一运营商网络发送险证请求消息, 该验证 请求消息携带 eUICC的 ICCID;
其中, 该验证请求消息携带 ICCID, 进一步的, 该验证请求消息中还 可以携带 IMSI和 /或 IMEI。
需要说明的是,由于 UE上所保存的第一运营商网络的签约信息可以包 括当前为该 UE提供月良务的运营商网络的签约信息, 还可以包括曾经为该 UE提供服务的其他运营商网络的签约信息, 因此, 该验证请求消息的发送 对象可以是一个或多个, 本实施例仅以发送对象为一个运营商网络为例进 行说明。
308、 第一运营商网络接收到远程管理平台发送的验证请求消息时, 根 据验证请求消息携带的 ICCID对该 eUICC进行验证;
其中, 对该 UE进行验证是根据验证请求消息携带的 ICCID对该 UE 是否为合法设备进行验证,具体可以包括: 当验证请求消息中仅携带 eUICC 的 ICCID时, 第一运营商网络可通过 ICCID获取其对应的 IMEI, 并根据 IMEI和 ICCID验证该 UE是否为欠费设备, 和 /或验证该 UE是否为盗窃设 备等;
进一步地,当验证请求消息中携带了 ICCID和 IMEI时,则根据该 IMEI 和 ICCID验证该 UE是否为欠费设备, 和 /或验证该 UE是否为盗窃设备, 和 /或验证该 UE中的 eUICC卡是否为克隆卡等。
对 UE进行验证具体可以包括如下中的至少一个:
(一)验证该 UE是否为欠费设备, 具体可以包括: 第一运营商网络根 据 ICCID获取用户的 IMSI ( International Mobile Subscriber Identity, 国际 移动用户标识), 并根据 IMSI查询计费服务器, 根据该计费服务器的用户 计费信息, 以确定该 IMSI所对应的用户是否欠费, 如果查询获知该用户为 且该验证结果包含欠费信息, 以便指示所述 UE欠费, 如果查询获知该 UE 未欠费, 则向远程管理平台发送的验证结果为验证通过;
(二)验证该 UE是否为盗窃设备, 具体包括: 第一运营商网络根据 IMEI查询 EIR( Equipment Identity Register, 设备标识寄存器) , EIR包含 一个或者多个数据库, 该数据库用来存储 UE的 IMEI信息(白名单、 灰名 单、黑名单 ),根据 IMEI查询该 IMEI是否在黑名单上,如果是, 则该 IMEI 所对应的设备为盗窃设备。如果该 UE是盗窃设备,则在步骤 309中向远程 管理平台发送的验证结果为验证未通过, 该验证结果携带指示该设备为非 法设备的标识, 指示所述 UE验证未通过, 还可以指示锁定所述 eUICC, 若该用户设备不是盗窃设备, 则向远程管理平台发送的验证结果为验证通 过。
(三 )验证该 UE中的 eUICC是否为克隆卡, 具体包括: 判断第一运 营商网络保存的 ICCID对应的 IMEI与该验证请求消息携带的 ICCID对应 的 IMEI是否相同, 如果是, 则该 UE的 eUICC卡正常, 在步骤 309向远程 管理平台的险证结果为险证通过, 如果否, 在步骤 309向远程管理平台的 验证结果为验证未通过, 且该验证结果还可以携带锁定设备指令, 以便指 示所述 UE验证未通过, 且指示锁定所述 eUICC。 每个 UE的 IMEI对应唯 一的 ICCID, ICCID是 eUICC的唯一识别号码, 并且 ICCID和 IMEI是一 一对应、 不可变更的, 因此通过分析 ICCID和 IMEI的对应关系可获知该 UE中的 eUICC是否为克隆卡。
309、 第一运营商网络向该远程管理平台返回验证结果, 若验证通过, 则继续执行后续步骤 310; 若验证未通过, 则跳转到步骤 314;
310、 远程管理平台获取第二运营商网络的相关配置信息;
由于远程管理平台接收到第一请求消息时,可以获知该 UE已保存第二 运营商网络签约信息, 则在该步骤 310 中, 可以仅获取第二运营商网络的 相关配置信息即可。
在本实施例中, 该步骤 310可以为远程管理平台和第二运营商网络之 间的交互过程, 具体包括: 远程管理平台向第二运营商网络发送第一请求 消息, 该第一请求消息携带 ICCID, 进一步的, 该第一请求消息还可以携 带 IMEI和 /或 IMSI。 第二运营商网络根据第二请求消息携带的 ICCID查询 该 UE是否已与第二运营商网络签订了协议,如果是, 则将第二运营商网络 的相关配置信息发送给远程管理平台, 也即是远程管理平台获取第二运营 商网络的相关配置信息。其中,该相关配置信息可以包括 APN( Access Point Name,接入点)、 SMS ( Short Messaging Service,短消息服务)中心号码等。
311、 远程管理平台通过 UE向 eUICC发送指示消息, 所述指示消息携 带获取到的第二运营商网络的相关配置信息;
可选地, 所述指示消息可以指示所述 eUICC 3 证通过和 /或指示所述 eUICC进行切换。
312、 eUICC接收到该指示消息时, 解析接收到的相关配置信息, 并将 解析后的第二运营商网络的相关配置信息发送给 UE; 313、 UE根据解析后的第二运营商网络的相关配置信息进行配置, 使 UE切换至第二运营商网络;
在本实施例中, eUICC在保存有第二运营商网络的签约信息的同时, 还可以保存有第二运营商网络的相关配置信息, 因此, 步骤 310-313可以由 以下步骤代替: 当验证通过时, 远程管理平台通过 UE向 eUICC发送指示 消息, 该指示消息指示所述 eUICC验证通过和 /或指示所述 eUICC进行切 换, 且不携带第二运营商网络的相关配置信息, 则当 eUICC接收到该指示 消息时, eUICC对本地保存的第二运营商网络的相关配置信息进行解析, 并将解析后的第二运营商网络的相关配置信息发送给 UE, 使得 UE根据该 相关配置信息进行配置, 以切换至第二网络运营商。
314、 远程管理平台接收到的验证结果为未通过, 根据验证结果携带的 内容通过 UE向 eUICC发送指示消息, 使得 eUICC不为所述 UE切换运营 商网络。
在图 2和图 3所示的实施例中, 第一运营商网络和第二运营商网络使 用同一个远程管理平台, 也即是该两个实施例中所述的远程管理平台即为 第二运营商网络的远程管理平台, 用于为第一运营商网络和第二运营商网 络管理签约信息。
在本发明实施例中,用户设备 UE获知需要从第一运营商网络切换到第 二运营商网络时,所述 UE向嵌入式通用集成电路卡 eUICC发送请求消息, 以使所述 eUICC向所述第二运营商网络的远程管理平台发送切换到第二运 营商网络的请求, 从而使得所述第二运营商网络的远程管理平台对所述 eUICC进行验证, 并根据验证结果向 eUICC返回指示消息,使得 eUICC根 据指示消息向 UE发送指示。 采用本发明的技术方案, 能够根据当前为 UE 服务的运营商网络对 UE的安全性进行验证,从而在 UE进行运营商网络切 换的过程中, 对其进行安全控制, 使得非法用户如恶意欠费、 盗窃设备及 克隆卡的用户无法进行运营商网络切换,提高了 UE以及 UE用户的安全性。 进一步地, 本实施例以 eUICC保存有第二运营商网络的签约信息为例, 对 UE切换运营商网络的过程进行了描述, 通过远程管理平台的安全控制, 提 高了 UE以及 UE用户的安全性。 图 4是本发明实施例提供的一种切换运营商网络的方法的流程图。 在 本实施例中, 以网络架构中有多个远程管理平台为例, 各个远程管理平台 之间互通, 并为不同的运营商网络提供服务进行说明, 为了便于说明, 把 正在为 UE提供服务的远程管理平台称为第一远程管理平台,将其他远程管 理平台称为第二远程管理平台。本实施例仅以 UE尚未进行过运营商网络切 换, 且该 UE中的 eUICC未保存有第二运营商网络的签约信息的场景为例 进行说明。 参见图 4, 该实施例具体可以包括:
401、 所述 UE检测是否满足预设切换条件;
本实施例中, 预设切换条件可以至少包括下述任意一种: UE失去所述 第一运营商网络覆盖、 UE的地理位置发生变化、 UE的时钟时间到达预设 时间段或 UE发生预设事件。
( 1 ) UE的地理位置发生变化。 为了使 UE在不同的地理区域里, 可 以根据实际需要使用不同的运营商网络, 因此, 可以以地理位置发生变化 作为触发步骤 402的判断过程的预设切换条件,具体地, 当 UE检测到自身 的地理位置发生变化时,如检测到该 UE由一个地理区域漫游到了另一个地 理区域时, 则 UE满足预设切换条件, 触发步骤 402的判断过程。 具体地, UE可以根据小区广播或者 GPS ( Global Positioning System,全球定位系统 ) 获知自身的地理位置, 并根据当前自身的地理位置判断是否发生了地理位 置的变化, 也可以通过其他方式获知是否发生了地理位置的变化, 本发明 对此不作限定。
( 2 ) UE的时钟时间到达预设时间段。 为了使 UE在不同的时间段里, 可以使用不同的运营商网络, 因此, 可以以时钟时间到达了预设时间段作 为触发步骤 402的判断过程的预设切换条件。具体地,可以为 UE设置预设 时间段以及该预设时间段内为该 UE提供服务的运营商网络,UE检测该 UE 的时钟时间是否到达了预设时间段,当该 UE的时钟时间到达了该预设时间 段时, 则 UE满足预设切换条件, 触发步骤 402的判断过程。 其中, 该预设 时间段可以为一个或一个以上, 本发明在此不 具体限定。 例如, 当前为 UE提供服务的运营商网络为中国联通, 而预设时间段为 17: 00-20: 00, 该预设时间段内提供服务的运营商网络为中国移动, 则在 17: 00-20: 00 以外的时间内由中国联通为 UE提供服务, 而当时钟时间到达了预设时间 段, 即 17: 00-20: 00时, 该 UE满足了预设切换条件, 触发步骤 402以及 后续过程, 使得在 17:00-20: 00之间由中国移动为 UE提供服务。 所述时 钟时间到达预设时间段, 可以理解为时钟时间到达预设时间, 该预设时间 可以为所述预设时间段中的一个时间点, 如可以为预设时间段 17: 00-20: 00这段时间中的任意一个时刻。
( 3 ) UE发生预设事件。将预设事件作为触发步骤 402和后续过程的预 设切换条件,使得 UE发生预设事件后,可以由与该预设事件发生前不同的 运营商网络提供服务。 例如, 预设事件为上网。 若为 UE提供服务的第一运 营商网络为中国移动, 当发生上网事件时, 触发步骤 402 以及后续过程, 使得 UE切换到第二运营商网络(假设为中国电信), 从而可以在整个上网 的过程中一直由中国电信提供服务。
( 4 ) UE失去第一运营商网络(即当前网络)覆盖。 当 UE失去当前网 络覆盖, 可自动切换到其他运营商网络。
具体地, 当 UE检测到第一运营商网络的信号强度低于预设阈值时, 则 可以认为已经失去第一运营商网络覆盖, 该信号强度检测为现有技术所公 开, 在此不再赘述。
可选地, 该步骤 401之前, 该方法还可以包括: 设置 UE的预设切换条 件。 该预设切换条件可以由用户根据使用需要进行设置和调整, 本发明对 此不做具体限定。 另外, UE可以提供设置该预设切换条件的界面, 供用户 进行预设切换条件的设置, 在该界面中还可以为用户提供提醒步骤, 使得 用户能够根据该提醒步骤, 进行预设切换条件的设置。
402、 当通过检测获知 UE满足预设切换条件时, UE判断 eUICC中是 否保存有第二运营商网络的签约信息, 如果否, 执行步骤 403;
当通过检测获知 UE满足预设切换条件时,则用户设备 UE可以获知需 要从第一运营商网络切换到第二运营商网络。
其中,第二运营商网络的签约信息为 UE与第二运营商网络之间的签约 信息, 是判断 UE是否已与第二运营商网络签约的根据。 具体地, 该签约信 息可以为 UE的电话号码。 通过判断 UE的 eUICC中是否保存有第二运营 商网络的签约信息, 可以确定该 UE是否首次向该第二运营商网络进行切 换, 如果 eUICC保存有第二运营商网络的签约信息, 则该 UE曾经执行过 向第二运营商网络的切换, 如果 UE的 eUICC中未保存有第二运营商网络 的签约信息, 则该 UE是首次向该第二运营商网络进行切换。
本领域技术人员可以获知,若检测到 UE未满足预设切换条件,则可以 继续由第一运营商网络为 UE提供服务。
本实施例是以 UE未进行过运营商网络切换, 且该 UE中的 eUICC未 保存有第二运营商网络的签约信息的场景为例进行说明。
403、 UE向所述 eUICC发送获取所述第二运营商网络的签约信息的请 求消息, 以使所述 eUICC向所述第二运营商网络的远程管理平台请求获取 所述第二运营商网络的签约信息;
上述步骤 401-403与步骤 201-203同理, 在此不再赘述。
404、 eUICC向 UE发送建立数据通道请求消息;
其中, eUICC向 UE发送建立数据通道请求消息可以理解为 eUICC通 过第一运营商网络或 MVNO ( Mobile Virtual Network Operator , 移动虚拟 网络运营商网络)向 UE发起建立数据通道请求消息,所述建立数据通道请 求消息用于请求 UE在 UE与第二远程管理平台之间建立数据通道。 其中, MVNO是专门为 UE开放的一个频段,用于运营商网络的签约信息的传递。
405、 UE根据第二远程管理平台信息, 与第二远程管理平台建立数据 通道;
其中, 该第二远程管理平台信息可以保存于 eUICC中。 本领域技术人 员可以获知, 远程管理平台信息可以包括远程管理平台地址等。
需要说明的是, eUICC通过 UE与第二远程管理平台建立了一条数据 通道, UE虽然在中间起到转发的作用, 但是可以不解析 eUICC与第二远 程管理平台间交互的内容, 因此从逻辑上 eUICC与第二远程管理平台可以 是直连。
本实施例后续的 UE 与第二远程管理平台之间的信令交互均是通过该 UE与第二远程管理平台建立的数据通道实现。
本领域技术人员可以获知, eUICC上可以保存多个远程管理平台信息, UE可从 eUICC 中获取某一远程管理平台信息, 以便于与该远程管理平台 建立数据通道。
另外, 每个运营商可能有自己的远程管理平台。 例如中国移动使用第 一远程管理平台, 中国联通使用第二远程管理平台。
406、 eUICC向 UE发送第二请求消息, 该第二请求消息用于请求获取 第二运营商网络的签约信息, 该第二请求消息携带 eUICC的 ICCID;
需要说明的是, eUICC向 UE发送第二请求消息, 由 UE将该请求发送 给第二远程管理平台, 该过程实质上是 eUICC与第二远程管理平台之间的 交互。
407、 UE 向该第二远程管理平台发送所述第二请求消息, 该第二请求 消息携带该 eUICC的 ICCID;
可选的,该第二请求消息携带 ICCID,还可以携带 eUICC的其他标识, 如 IMSI和 /或 IMEL本发明实施例仅以 eUICC的标识为 ICCID为例进行说 明,优选地,该 eUICC的标识还可以为 IMSI( International Mobile Subscriber Identity , 国际移动用户标识) 或 IMEI ( International Mobile Equipment Identity, 国际移动设备身份码)等。
该步骤 406-407是 eUICC向所述第二运营商网络的第二远程管理平台 请求获取第二运营商网络的签约信息的过程。
408、 当第二远程管理平台接收到 UE发送的第二请求消息时, 获取该 UE的第一运营商网络的签约信息对应的远程管理平台信息;
本领域技术人员可以获知, 运营商网络的签约信息包括该运营商网络 的远程管理平台信息, 或, 本领域技术人员可以获知, 各个远程管理平台 间是互相联通的, 远程管理平台中可以维护每个运营商对应于哪个远程管 理平台的关系表, 则运营商网络可以通过签约信息获取其对应的远程管理 平台信息, 在本实施例中, 不对该过程进行具体限定。
对于运营商网络的签约信息包括该运营商网络的远程管理平台信息的 情况,该步骤 408中所述获取该 UE的第一运营商网络的签约信息对应的远 程管理平台信息, 可以具体分为以下两个(一)和(二) 两个阶段:

( 3 )提取该第二请求消息中携带的远程管理平台信息, 将提取到的远 程管理平台信息作为第一运营商网络信息对应的第一远程管理平台信息。
409、 第二远程管理平台根据第一运营商网络的签约信息对应的远程管 理平台信息, 向远程管理平台信息指示的第一远程管理平台发送险证请求 消息, 该验证请求消息携带 eUICC的 ICCID;
其中, 该验证请求消息携带 ICCID, 进一步的, 该验证请求消息中还 可以携带 IMSI和 /或 IMEI。
需要说明的是, 对于 UE来说, 为该 UE提供过服务的运营商网络可以 为一个或多个, 每个运营商网络对应一个远程管理平台, 因此, 在 eUICC 中可能保存有一个或多个远程管理平台信息。本实施例仅以为该 UE提供过 服务的运营商网络为一个为例进行说明,而为该 UE提供过服务的运营商网 络为多个的场景下, 可以向多个远程管理平台发送险证请求消息或向多个 远程管理平台中任一个发送险证请求消息, 即, 可向多个远程管理平台中 的一个或多个发送验证请求消息。
410、 当第一远程管理平台接收到第二远程管理平台送的验证请求消息 时, 获取该 UE的第一运营商网络的签约信息;
具体地,获取该 UE的第一运营商网络的签约信息包括但不限于下列任 一方法: ( 1 )根据该 eUICC的 ICCID, 判断第一远程管理平台中是否预先 保存了该 UE的第一运营商网络的签约信息,如果是, 则第一远程管理平台 从本地获取该 UE的第一运营商网络的签约信息,如果否, 则第一远程管理 平台向 UE发送获取运营商网络的签约信息的消息, 由 UE从其 eUICC获 取第一运营商网络的签约信息,使得该 UE返回 UE当前保存的第一运营商 网络的签约信息。 (2 )当 UE发送的第二请求消息中携带该 UE的第一运营 商网络的签约信息时, 获取第二请求消息中的第一运营商网络的签约信息。
411、 第一远程管理平台根据获取的第一运营商网络的签约信息, 向该 第一运营商网络的签约信息对应的第一运营商网络发送验证请求消息, 该 验证请求消息携带 eUICC的 ICCID;
需要说明的是, 步骤 407-411还可以用以下步骤代替: UE向第二远程 管理平台发送第二请求消息, 该第二请求消息携带当前保存的第一运营商 网络签约信息及其对应的第一远程管理平台信息, 第二远程管理平台根据 该第二请求消息携带的第一远程管理平台信息, 向相应的第一远程管理平 台发送验证请求消息, 该验证请求消息携带第一运营商网络签约信息; 第 一远程管理平台接收到验证请求消息时, 根据验证请求消息携带的第一运 营商网络签约信息向相应的第一运营商网络发送验证请求消息。
412、 第一运营商网络接收到第一远程管理平台发送的验证请求消息 时, 根据验证请求消息携带的 ICCID对设置于 UE中的 eUICC进行验证; 其中, 对该 UE进行验证是根据验证请求消息携带的 ICCID对该 UE 是否为合法设备进行验证,具体可以包括: 当验证请求消息中仅携带 eUICC 的 ICCID时, 第一运营商网络可通过 ICCID获取其对应的 IMEI, 并根据 IMEI和 ICCID验证该 UE是否为欠费设备, 和 /或验证该 UE是否为盗窃设 备等;
进一步地,当验证请求消息中携带了 ICCID和 IMEI时,则根据该 IMEI 和 ICCID验证该 UE是否为欠费设备, 和 /或验证该 UE是否为盗窃设备, 和 /或验证该 UE中的 eUICC卡是否为克隆卡等。
对 UE进行验证具体可以包括如下中的至少一个:
(一)验证该 UE是否为欠费设备, 具体可以包括: 第一运营商网络根 据 ICCID获取用户的 IMSI ( International Mobile Subscriber Identity, 国际 移动用户标识), 并根据 IMSI查询计费服务器, 根据该计费服务器的用户 计费信息, 以确定该 IMSI所对应的用户是否欠费, 如果查询获知该用户为 且该验证结果还可以包含欠费信息, 以便指示所述 UE欠费,如果查询获知 该 UE未欠费, 则向远程管理平台发送的验证结果为验证通过;
(二)验证该 UE是否为盗窃设备, 具体包括: 第一运营商网络根据 IMEI查询 EIR( Equipment Identity Register, 设备标识寄存器) , EIR包含 一个或者多个数据库, 该数据库用来存储 UE的 IMEI信息(白名单、 灰名 单、黑名单 ),根据 IMEI查询该 IMEI是否在黑名单上,如果是, 则该 IMEI 所对应的设备为盗窃设备。如果该 UE是盗窃设备,则在步骤 413中向远程 管理平台发送的验证结果为验证未通过, 该验证结果携带指示该设备为非 法设备的标识, 指示所述 UE验证未通过, 还可以指示锁定所述 eUICC, 若该用户设备不是盗窃设备, 则向远程管理平台发送的验证结果为验证通 过。
(三)验证该 UE中的 eUICC是否为克隆卡, 具体包括: 判断第一运 营商网络保存的 ICCID对应的 IMEI与该验证请求消息携带的 ICCID对应 的 IMEI是否相同, 如果是, 则该 UE的 eUICC卡正常, 在步骤 413向远程 管理平台的险证结果为险证通过, 如果否, 在步骤 413 向远程管理平台的 验证结果为验证未通过, 且该验证结果还可以携带锁定设备指令, 以便指 示所述 UE验证未通过, 且指示锁定所述 eUICC。 每个 UE的 IMEI对应唯 一的 ICCID, ICCID是 eUICC的唯一识别号码, 并且 ICCID和 IMEI是一 一对应、 不可变更的, 因此通过分析 ICCID和 IMEI的对应关系可获知该 UE中的 eUICC是否为克隆卡。
413、 第一运营商网络向该第一远程管理平台返回验证结果;
414、 第一远程管理平台将验证结果发送给第二远程管理平台, 若验证 通过, 则继续执行后续步骤 415; 若验证未通过, 则跳转到步骤 419;
415、 第二远程管理平台获取第二运营商网络的签约信息和第二运营商 网络的相关配置信息;
在本实施例中, 该步骤 415可以为第二远程管理平台和第二运营商网 络之间的交互过程, 具体包括: 第二远程管理平台向第二运营商网络发送 第二请求消息, 该第二请求消息携带 ICCID, 进一步的, 该第二请求消息 还可以携带 IMEI 和 /或 IMSI。 第二运营商网络根据第二请求消息携带的 ICCID查询该 UE是否与与第二运营商网络签订了协议,如果是, 则将第二 运营商网络的签约信息和第二运营商网络的相关配置信息发送给第二远程 管理平台, 也即是第二远程管理平台获取第二运营商网络的签约信息和第 二运营商网络的相关配置信息。
其中, 在第二运营商网络接收到第二远程管理平台发送的第二请求消 息后, 第二运营商网络可以保存该第二请求消息携带的 ICCID, 进一步的, 若该第二请求消息携带 IMEI和 /或 IMSI, 则可以同时保存该 IMEI和 /或 IMSI,第二运营商网络保存该 ICCID和 IMEI和 /或 IMSI的目的是为下次切 换运营商网络做准备, 当该 UE下次切换运营商网络时, 同样该第二运营商 网络需要根据保存的该 ICCID和该 IMEI和 /或 IMSI对该 UE进行险证。
416、 第二远程管理平台通过 UE向 eUICC发送指示消息, 该指示消息 携带获取到的第二运营商网络的签约信息和第二运营商网络的相关配置信 可选地, 所述指示消息可以指示所述 eUICC 3 证通过和 /或指示所述 eUICC进行切换。
417、 eUICC接收到该指示消息后, 解析接收到的相关配置信息, 并将 解析后的第二运营商网络的相关配置信息发送给 UE;
418、 UE根据解析后的第二运营商网络的相关配置信息进行配置, 使 UE切换至第二运营商网络;
具体地, UE把接收到的第二运营商网络的签约信息和第二运营商网络 相关配置信息发送给 eUICC, eUICC保存接收到的第二运营商网络的签约 信息, 并对接收到的第二运营商网络的相关配置信息进行解析, 把解析结 果发送给 UE, 该 UE接收解析后的相关配置信息, 并根据解析后的相关配 置信息对自身进行配置,使得该 UE切换至第二运营商网络,通过第二运营 商网络进行网络活动, 如上网和接收短消息。
进一步地, eUICC通过 UE断开与第二远程管理平台的数据通道, 并 通过第二运营商网络使得 UE在 UE与第二远程管理平台之间建立新的数据 通道。 具体地, 该步骤可以为 eUICC向 UE发送断开数据通道的请求消息, UE在接收到该断开数据通道的请求消息时, 断开与第二远程管理平台之间 的数据通道,并通过第二运营商网络使得 UE在 UE与第二远程管理平台之 间建立新的数据通道。 本领域技术人员可以获知, 通过第二运营商网络使 得 UE在 UE与第二远程管理平台之间建立新的数据通道的具体过程为现有 技术所公开, 在此不再赘述。
进一步地, eUICC还可以通过 UE向第二远程管理平台发送确认消息, 该确认消息用于确认该 UE是否已由第二运营商网络提供服务;第二远程管 理平台获知该确认消息是通过 UE 与第二远程管理平台建立的新的数据通 道连接发送, 则可以确认第二运营商网络的签约信息已启用, 认为该 UE 已由第二运营商网络提供服务。
进一步地,UE使第一运营商网络的签约信息处于闲置状态( Idle状态)。
419、 第二远程管理平台接收到的验证结果为未通过, 根据验证结果携 带的内容通过 UE向 eUICC发送指示消息, 使得 eUICC不为所述 UE切换 运营商网络。
具体地, 所述 eUICC接收所述指示消息, 当所述指示消息指示所述 eUICC验证未通过, 则所述 eUICC可以不向所述 UE发送切换指示或者所 述 eUICC可以指示所述 UE不切换到所述第二运营商网络。
需要说明的是,这里的指示消息在实际中可以使用报告 report消息、通 知 inform消息或指示 indicate消息等消息。
可选地, 若该非法用户为盗窃设备和 /或克隆 eUICC, 则远程管理平台 可以指示 eUICC将 eUICC自身置为锁定状态;
可选地, 若该非法用户为欠费设备, 则 eUICC可以继续使用第一运营 商网络的签约信息。 进一步地, 所述 eUICC执行欠费提示。
在本发明实施例中,用户设备 UE获知需要从第一运营商网络切换到第 二运营商网络时,所述 UE向嵌入式通用集成电路卡 eUICC发送请求消息, 以使所述 eUICC向所述第二运营商网络的远程管理平台发送切换到第二运 营商网络的请求, 从而使得所述第二运营商网络的远程管理平台对所述 eUICC进行验证, 并根据验证结果向 eUICC返回指示消息,使得 eUICC根 据指示消息向 UE发送指示; 所述 UE接收所述 eUICC的指示, 根据所述 指示切换或不切换到所述第二运营商网络。 采用本发明的技术方案, 能够 根据当前为 UE服务的运营商网络对 UE的安全性进行验证, 从而在 UE进 行运营商网络切换的过程中, 对其进行安全控制, 使得非法用户如恶意欠 费、 盗窃设备及克隆卡的用户无法进行运营商网络切换, 提高了 UE 以及 UE用户的安全性。 进一步地, 本实施例在网络架构中有多个远程管理平台 的情况下, 通过远程管理平台之间的信令交互达到了对 UE的安全控制。 图 5是本发明实施例提供的一种切换运营商网络的方法的流程图。 在 本实施例中, 以网络架构中有多个远程管理平台为例进行说明, 为了便于 说明,把正在为 UE提供服务的远程管理平台称为第一远程管理平台,将其 他远程管理平台称为第二远程管理平台。本实施例仅以 UE曾进行过运营商 网络切换, 且该 UE中的 eUICC已保存第二运营商网络的签约信息的场景 为例进行说明。 参见图 5, 该实施例具体包括:
501、 检测所述 UE是否满足预设切换条件;
本实施例中, 预设切换条件可以至少包括下述任意一种: UE失去所述 第一运营商网络覆盖、 UE的地理位置发生变化、 UE的时钟时间到达预设 时间段或 UE发生预设事件。
( 1 ) UE的地理位置发生变化。 为了使 UE在不同的地理区域里, 可 以根据实际需要使用不同的运营商网络, 因此, 可以以地理位置发生变化 作为触发步骤 502的判断过程的预设切换条件,具体地, 当 UE检测到自身 的地理位置发生变化时,如检测到该 UE由一个地理区域漫游到了另一个地 理区域时, 则 UE满足预设切换条件, 触发步骤 502的判断过程。 具体地, UE可以根据小区广播或者 GPS ( Global Positioning System,全球定位系统 ) 获知自身的地理位置, 并根据当前自身的地理位置判断是否发生了地理位 置的变化, 也可以通过其他方式获知是否发生了地理位置的变化, 本发明 对此不作限定。
( 2 ) UE的时钟时间到达预设时间段。 为了使 UE在不同的时间段里, 可以使用不同的运营商网络, 因此, 可以以时钟时间到达了预设时间段作 为触发步骤 502的判断过程的预设切换条件。具体地,可以为 UE设置预设 时间段以及该预设时间段内为该 UE提供服务的运营商网络,UE检测该 UE 的时钟时间是否到达了预设时间段,当该 UE的时钟时间到达了该预设时间 段时, 则 UE满足预设切换条件, 触发步骤 502的判断过程。 其中, 该预设 时间段可以为一个或一个以上, 本发明在此不 具体限定。 例如, 当前为 UE提供服务的运营商网络为中国联通, 而预设时间段为 17: 00-20: 00, 该预设时间段内提供服务的运营商网络为中国移动, 则在 17: 00-20: 00 以外的时间内由中国联通为 UE提供服务, 而当时钟时间到达了预设时间 段, 即 17: 00-20: 00时, 该 UE满足了预设切换条件, 触发步骤 502以及 后续过程, 使得在 17:00-20: 00之间由中国移动为 UE提供服务。 所述时 钟时间到达预设时间段, 可以理解为时钟时间到达预设时间, 该预设时间 可以为所述预设时间段中的一个时间点, 如可以为预设时间段 17: 00-20: 00这段时间中的任意一个时刻。
( 3 ) UE发生预设事件。将预设事件作为触发步骤 502和后续过程的预 设切换条件,使得 UE发生预设事件后,可以由与该预设事件发生前不同的 运营商网络提供服务。 例如, 预设事件为上网。 若为 UE提供服务的第一运 营商网络为中国移动, 当发生上网事件时, 触发步骤 502 以及后续过程, 使得 UE切换到第二运营商网络(假设为中国电信), 从而可以在整个上网 的过程中一直由中国电信提供服务。
( 4 ) UE失去第一运营商网络(即当前网络)覆盖。 当 UE失去当前网 络覆盖, 可自动切换到其他运营商网络。
具体地, 当 UE检测到第一运营商网络的信号强度低于预设阈值时, 则 可以认为已经失去第一运营商网络覆盖, 该信号强度检测为现有技术所公 开, 在此不再赘述。
可选地, 该步骤 501之前, 该方法还可以包括: 设置 UE的预设切换条 件。 该预设切换条件可以由用户根据使用需要进行设置和调整, 本发明对 此不做具体限定。 另外, UE可以提供设置该预设切换条件的界面, 供用户 进行预设切换条件的设置, 在该界面中还可以为用户提供提醒步骤, 使得 用户能够根据该提醒步骤, 进行预设切换条件的设置。
502、 当通过检测获知 UE满足预设切换条件时, 判断 UE的 eUICC中 是否保存有第二运营商网络的签约信息, 如果是, 执行步骤 503;
当通过检测获知 UE满足预设切换条件时,则用户设备 UE可以获知需 要从第一运营商网络切换到第二运营商网络。
其中,第二运营商网络的签约信息为 UE与第二运营商网络之间的签约 信息, 是判断 UE是否已与第二运营商网络签约的根据。 具体地, 该签约信 息可以为 UE的电话号码。 通过判断 UE的 eUICC中是否保存有第二运营 商网络的签约信息, 可以确定该 UE是否首次向该第二运营商网络进行切 换, 如果 eUICC保存有第二运营商网络的签约信息, 则该 UE曾经执行过 向第二运营商网络的切换, 如果 UE的 eUICC中未保存有第二运营商网络 的签约信息, 则该 UE是首次向该第二运营商网络进行切换。
本领域技术人员可以获知,若检测到 UE未满足预设切换条件,则可以 继续由第一运营商网络为 UE提供服务。
而本实施例与图 4所示实施例的不同之处在于,本实施例是以 UE曾经 进行过运营商网络切换, 且该 UE中的 eUICC保存第二运营商网络的签约 信息的场景为例进行说明。
503、 UE向所述 eUICC发送切换至所述第二运营商网络的请求消息, 以使所述 eUICC向所述第二运营商网络的远程管理平台请求切换所述第二 运营商网络;
上述步骤 501-503与步骤 301-303同理, 在此不再赘述。
504、 eUICC向 UE发送建立数据通道请求消息;
其中, eUICC向 UE发送建立数据通道请求消息可以理解为 eUICC通 过第一运营商网络或 MVNO ( Mobile Virtual Network Operator , 移动虚拟 网络运营商网络)向 UE发起建立数据通道请求消息,所述建立数据通道请 求消息用于请求 UE在 UE与第二远程管理平台之间建立数据通道。 其中, MVNO是专门为 UE开放的一个频段,用于运营商网络的签约信息的传递。
505、 UE根据第二远程管理平台信息, 与第二远程管理平台建立数据 通道;
其中, 该第二远程管理平台信息保存于 eUICC中。 本领域技术人员可 以获知, 远程管理平台信息可以包括远程管理平台地址等。
需要说明的是, eUICC通过 UE与第二远程管理平台建立了一条数据 通道, UE虽然在中间起到转发的作用, 但是可以不解析 eUICC与第二远 程管理平台间交互的内容, 因此从逻辑上 eUICC与第二远程管理平台可以 是直连。
本实施例后续的 UE 与第二远程管理平台之间的信令交互均是通过该 UE与第二远程管理平台建立的数据通道实现。 本领域技术人员可以获知, eUICC上可以保存多个远程管理平台信息, UE可从 eUICC 中获取某一远程管理平台信息, 以便于与该远程管理平台 建立数据通道。
506、 eUICC向 UE发送第一请求消息, 该第一请求消息用于请求切换 至第二运营商网络, 该第一请求消息携带 eUICC的 ICCID;
需要说明的是, eUICC向 UE发送第一请求消息, 由 UE将该请求发送 给第二远程管理平台, 该过程实质上是 eUICC与第二远程管理平台之间的 交互。
507、 UE 向该第二远程管理平台发送所述第一请求消息, 该获取请求 消息携带该 eUICC的 ICCID;
可选的,该第一请求消息携带 ICCID,还可以携带 eUICC的其他标识, 如 IMSI和 /或 IMEL本发明实施例仅以 eUICC的标识为 ICCID为例进行说 明,优选地,该 eUICC的标识还可以为 IMSI( International Mobile Subscriber Identity , 国际移动用户标识) 或 IMEI ( International Mobile Equipment Identity, 国际移动设备身份码)等。
该步骤 506-507是 eUICC向所述第二运营商网络的第二远程管理平台 请求切换至第二运营商网络的过程。
508、 当第二远程管理平台接收到 UE发送的第一请求消息时, 获取该 UE所有的第一运营商网络的签约信息对应的远程管理平台信息;
本领域技术人员可以获知, 运营商网络的签约信息包括该运营商网络 的远程管理平台信息, 或, 本领域技术人员可以获知, 各个远程管理平台 间是互相联通的, 远程管理平台中可以维护每个运营商对应于哪个远程管 理平台的关系表, 则运营商网络可以通过签约信息获取其对应的远程管理 平台信息, 在本实施例中, 不对该过程进行具体限定。
对于运营商网络的签约信息包括该运营商网络的远程管理平台信息的 情况,该步骤 508中所述获取该 UE的第一运营商网络的签约信息对应的远 程管理平台信息, 可以具体分为以下两个(一)和(二) 两个阶段:

需要说明的是, 步骤 507-511还可以用以下步骤代替: UE向第二远程 管理平台发送第一请求消息, 该第一请求消息携带当前保存的第一运营商 网络签约信息及其对应的第一远程管理平台信息, 第二远程管理平台根据 第二请求消息携带的第一远程管理平台信息, 向相应的第一远程管理平台 发送验证请求消息, 该验证请求消息携带第一运营商网络签约信息; 第一 远程管理平台接收到验证请求消息时, 根据验证请求消息携带的第一运营 商网络签约信息向相应的第一运营商网络发送验证请求消息。
512、 第一运营商网络接收到第一远程管理平台发送的验证请求消息 时, 根据验证请求消息携带的 ICCID对设置于 UE中的 eUICC进行验证; 其中, 对该 UE进行验证是根据验证请求消息携带的 ICCID对该 UE 是否为合法设备进行验证,具体可以包括: 当验证请求消息中仅携带 eUICC 的 ICCID时, 第一运营商网络可通过 ICCID获取其对应的 IMEI, 并根据 IMEI和 ICCID验证该 UE是否为欠费设备, 和 /或验证该 UE是否为盗窃设 备等;
进一步地,当验证请求消息中携带了 ICCID和 IMEI时,则根据该 IMEI 和 ICCID验证该 UE是否为欠费设备, 和 /或验证该 UE是否为盗窃设备, 和 /或验证该 UE中的 eUICC卡是否为克隆卡等。
对 UE进行验证具体可以包括如下中的至少一个:
(一)验证该 UE是否为欠费设备, 具体可以包括: 第一运营商网络根 据 ICCID获取用户的 IMSI ( International Mobile Subscriber Identity, 国际 移动用户标识), 并根据 IMSI查询计费服务器, 根据该计费服务器的用户 计费信息, 以确定该 IMSI所对应的用户是否欠费, 如果查询获知该用户为 且该验证结果还可以包含欠费信息, 以便指示所述 UE欠费,如果查询获知 该 UE未欠费, 则向远程管理平台发送的验证结果为验证通过;
(二)验证该 UE是否为盗窃设备, 具体包括: 第一运营商网络根据 IMEI查询 EIR( Equipment Identity Register, 设备标识寄存器) , EIR包含 一个或者多个数据库, 该数据库用来存储 UE的 IMEI信息(白名单、 灰名 单、黑名单 ),根据 IMEI查询该 IMEI是否在黑名单上,如果是, 则该 IMEI 所对应的设备为盗窃设备。如果该 UE是盗窃设备,则在步骤 513中向远程 管理平台发送的验证结果为验证未通过, 该验证结果携带指示该设备为非 法设备的标识, 指示所述 UE验证未通过, 还可以指示锁定所述 eUICC, 若该用户设备不是盗窃设备, 则向远程管理平台发送的验证结果为验证通 过。
(三)验证该 UE中的 eUICC是否为克隆卡, 具体包括: 判断第一运 营商网络保存的 ICCID对应的 IMEI与该验证请求消息携带的 ICCID对应 的 IMEI是否相同, 如果是, 则该 UE的 eUICC卡正常, 在步骤 513向远程 管理平台的险证结果为险证通过, 如果否, 在步骤 513 向远程管理平台的 验证结果为验证未通过, 且该验证结果还可以携带锁定设备指令, 以便指 示所述 UE验证未通过, 且指示锁定所述 eUICC。 每个 UE的 IMEI对应唯 一的 ICCID, ICCID是 eUICC的唯一识别号码, 并且 ICCID和 IMEI是一 一对应、 不可变更的, 因此通过分析 ICCID和 IMEI的对应关系可获知该 UE中的 eUICC是否为克隆卡。
513、 第一运营商网络向该第一远程管理平台返回验证结果;
514、 第一远程管理平台将验证结果发送给第二远程管理平台, 若验证 通过, 则继续执行后续步骤 515; 若验证未通过, 则跳转到步骤 519;
515、 第二远程管理平台获取第二运营商网络的相关配置信息; 在本实施例中, 该步骤 515可以为第二远程管理平台和第二运营商网 络之间的交互过程, 具体包括: 第二远程管理平台向第二运营商网络发送 第二请求消息, 该第二请求消息携带 ICCID, 进一步的, 该第二请求消息 还可以携带 IMEI 和 /或 IMSI。 第二运营商网络根据第二请求消息携带的 ICCID查询该 UE是否与与第二运营商网络签订了协议,如果是, 则将第二 运营商网络的相关配置信息发送给第二远程管理平台, 也即是第二远程管 理平台获取第二运营商网络的相关配置信息。
516、 第二远程管理平台通过 UE向 eUICC发送指示消息, 该指示消息 携带获取到的第二运营商网络的相关配置信息;
可选地, 所述指示消息可以指示所述 eUICC 3 证通过和 /或指示所述 eUICC进行切换。
517、 eUICC接收到该指示消息后, 解析接收到的相关配置信息, 并将 解析后的第二运营商网络的相关配置信息发送给 UE;
518、 UE根据解析后的第二运营商网络的相关配置信息进行配置, 使 UE切换至第二运营商网络;
具体地, UE把接收到的第二运营商网络相关配置信息发送给 eUICC , eUICC对接收到的第二运营商网络的相关配置信息进行解析, 把解析结果 发送给 UE, 该 UE接收解析后的相关配置信息, 并根据解析后的相关配置 信息对自身进行配置,使得该 UE切换至第二运营商网络,通过第二运营商 网络进行网络活动, 如上网和接收短消息。
进一步地, eUICC通过 UE断开与第二远程管理平台的数据通道, 并 通过第二运营商网络使得 UE在 UE与第二远程管理平台之间建立新的数据 通道。 具体地, 该步骤可以为 eUICC向 UE发送断开数据通道的请求消息, UE在接收到该断开数据通道的请求消息时, 断开与第二远程管理平台之间 的数据通道,并通过第二运营商网络使得 UE在 UE与第二远程管理平台之 间建立新的数据通道。 本领域技术人员可以获知, 通过第二运营商网络使 得 UE在 UE与第二远程管理平台之间建立新的数据通道的具体过程为现有 技术所公开, 在此不再赘述。
进一步地, eUICC还可以通过 UE向第二远程管理平台发送确认消息, 该确认消息用于确认该 UE是否已由第二运营商网络提供服务;第二远程管 理平台获知该确认消息是通过 UE 与第二远程管理平台建立的新的数据通 道连接发送, 则可以确认第二运营商网络的签约信息已启用, 认为该 UE 已由第二运营商网络提供服务。
进一步地,UE使第一运营商网络的签约信息处于闲置状态( Idle状态)。
519、 第二远程管理平台接收到的验证结果为未通过, 根据验证结果携 带的内容通过 UE向 eUICC发送指示消息, 使得 eUICC不为所述 UE切换 运营商网络。
具体地, 所述 eUICC接收所述指示消息, 当所述指示消息指示所述 eUICC验证未通过, 则所述 eUICC可以不向所述 UE发送切换指示或者所 述 eUICC可以指示所述 UE不切换到所述第二运营商网络。
需要说明的是,这里的指示消息在实际中可以使用报告 report消息、通 知 inform消息或指示 indicate消息等消息。
可选地, 若该非法用户为盗窃设备和 /或克隆 eUICC, 则远程管理平台 可以指示 eUICC将 eUICC自身置为锁定状态;
可选地, 若该非法用户为欠费设备, 则 eUICC可以继续使用第一运营 商网络的签约信息。 进一步地, 所述 eUICC执行欠费提示。
在本发明实施例中,用户设备 UE获知需要从第一运营商网络切换到第 二运营商网络时,所述 UE向嵌入式通用集成电路卡 eUICC发送请求消息, 以使所述 eUICC向所述第二运营商网络的远程管理平台发送切换到第二运 营商网络的请求, 从而使得所述第二运营商网络的远程管理平台对所述 eUICC进行验证, 并根据验证结果向 eUICC返回指示消息,使得 eUICC根 据指示消息向 UE发送指示; 所述 UE接收所述 eUICC的指示, 根据所述 指示切换或不切换到所述第二运营商网络。 采用本发明的技术方案, 能够 根据当前为 UE服务的运营商网络对 UE的安全性进行验证, 从而在 UE进 行运营商网络切换的过程中, 对其进行安全控制, 使得非法用户如恶意欠 费、 盗窃设备及克隆卡的用户无法进行运营商网络切换, 提高了 UE 以及 UE用户的安全性。 进一步地, 本实施例在网络架构中有多个远程管理平台 的情况下, 通过远程管理平台之间的信令交互达到了对 UE的安全控制。 图 6是本发明实施例提供的一种用户设备的结构示意图。 参见图 6, 该 用户设备包括:

检测模块 64, 用于检测 UE是否满足预设切换条件;
相应地, 所述发送模块 61具体用于通过检测模块 64检测获知所述 UE 满足所述预设切换条件时, 向所述 eUICC发送请求消息。
可选地, 所述预设切换条件至少包括下述任意一种: UE失去所述第一 运营商网络覆盖、 UE的地理位置发生变化、 UE的时钟时间到达预设时间 段或 UE发生预设事件。
相应地, 所述检测模块 64具体用于检测 UE是否失去所述第一运营商 网络覆盖、 UE的地理位置是否发生变化、 UE的时钟时间是否到达预设时 间段或 UE是否发生预设事件。
( 1 ) UE的地理位置是否发生变化。 为了使 UE在不同的地理区域里, 可以根据实际需要使用不同的运营商网络, 因此, 可以以地理位置发生变 化作为触发步骤 202的判断过程的预设切换条件,具体地, 当 UE检测到自 身的地理位置发生变化时,如检测到该 UE由一个地理区域漫游到了另一个 地理区域时,则 UE满足预设切换条件,触发步骤 202的判断过程。具体地, UE可以根据小区广播或者 GPS ( Global Positioning System,全球定位系统 ) 获知自身的地理位置, 并根据当前自身的地理位置判断是否发生了地理位 置的变化, 也可以通过其他方式获知是否发生了地理位置的变化, 本发明 对此不作限定。
( 2 ) UE的时钟时间是否到达预设时间段。 为了使 UE在不同的时间 段里, 可以使用不同的运营商网络, 因此, 可以以时钟时间到达了预设时 间段作为触发步骤 202 的判断过程的预设切换条件。 具体地, 可以为 UE 设置预设时间段以及该预设时间段内为该 UE提供服务的运营商网络, UE 检测该 UE的时钟时间是否到达了预设时间段, 当该 UE的时钟时间到达了 该预设时间段时, 则 UE满足预设切换条件, 触发步骤 202的判断过程。 其 中, 该预设时间段可以为一个或一个以上, 本发明在此不做具体限定。 例 如, 当前为 UE提供服务的运营商网络为中国联通, 而预设时间段为 17: 00-20: 00, 该预设时间段内提供服务的运营商网络为中国移动, 则在 17: 00-20: 00以外的时间内由中国联通为 UE提供服务, 而当时钟时间到达了 预设时间段, 即 17: 00-20: 00时, 该 UE满足了预设切换条件, 触发步骤 202以及后续过程, 使得在 17:00-20: 00之间由中国移动为 UE提供服务。 所述时钟时间到达预设时间段, 可以理解为时钟时间到达预设时间, 该预 设时间可以为所述预设时间段中的一个时间点, 如可以为预设时间段 17: 00-20: 00这段时间中的任意一个时刻。
( 3 ) UE是否发生预设事件。将预设事件作为触发步骤 202和后续过程 的预设切换条件,使得 UE发生预设事件后,可以由与该预设事件发生前不 同的运营商网络提供服务。 例如, 预设事件为上网。 若为 UE提供服务的第 一运营商网络为中国移动, 当发生上网事件时, 触发步骤 202 以及后续过 程, 使得 UE切换到第二运营商网络(假设为中国电信), 从而可以在整个 上网的过程中一直由中国电信提供服务。
( 4 ) UE是否失去第一运营商网络(即当前网络)覆盖。 当 UE失去当 前网络覆盖, 可自动切换到其他运营商网络。
具体地, 当检测模块 64检测到第一运营商网络的信号强度低于预设阈 值时, 则可以认为已经失去第一运营商网络覆盖, 该信号强度检测为现有 技术所公开, 在此不再赘述。
进一步地, 所述检测模块 64还用于设置 UE的预设切换条件。 该预设 切换条件可以由用户根据使用需要进行设置和调整, 本发明对此不做具体 限定。 另外, UE可以提供设置该预设切换条件的界面, 供用户进行预设切 换条件的设置, 在该界面中还可以为用户提供提醒步骤, 使得用户能够根 据该提醒步骤, 进行预设切换条件的设置。
可选地, 所述用户设备还包括:
判断模块 65, 用于判断所述 eUICC中是否保存有所述第二运营商网络 的签约信息; 具体地, 判断模块 65在满足预设切换条件时, 向 eUICC发起 判断请求,从而使得 eUICC判断其是否保存有第二运营商网络的签约信息, 并将判断结果告知给 UE;或所述 UE向 eUICC查询当前保存的运营商网络 的签约信息中是否包含第二运营商网络的签约信息, 若是则判断为当前 eUICC中保存有第二运营商网络的签约信息。
相应地,所述发送模块 61具体用于当所述 eUICC中保存有所述第二运 营商网络的签约信息, 向所述 eUICC发送第一请求消息, 以使所述 eUICC 向所述第二运营商网络的远程管理平台请求切换至所述第二运营商网络; 可选的,该第一请求消息携带 ICCID,还可以携带 eUICC的其他标识, 如 IMSI和 /或 IMEL本发明实施例仅以 eUICC的标识为 ICCID为例进行说 明,优选地,该 eUICC的标识还可以为 IMSI( International Mobile Subscriber Identity , 国际移动用户标识) 或 IMEI ( International Mobile Equipment Identity, 国际移动设备身份码)等。
所述发送模块 61还用于所述 eUICC中未保存有所述第二运营商网络的 签约信息, 向所述 eUICC发送第二请求消息, 以使所述 eUICC向所述第二 运营商网络的远程管理平台请求获取所述第二运营商网络的签约信息。
可选的,该第二请求消息携带 ICCID,还可以携带 eUICC的其他标识, 如 IMSI和 /或 IMEL本发明实施例仅以 eUICC的标识为 ICCID为例进行说 明,优选地,该 eUICC的标识还可以为 IMSI( International Mobile Subscriber Identity , 国际移动用户标识) 或 IMEI ( International Mobile Equipment Identity, 国际移动设备身份码)等。
其中,第二运营商网络的签约信息为 UE与第二运营商网络之间的签约 信息, 是判断 UE是否已与第二运营商网络签约的根据。 具体地, 该签约信 息可以为 UE的电话号码。 通过判断 UE的 eUICC中是否保存有第二运营 商网络的签约信息, 可以确定该 UE是否首次向该第二运营商网络进行切 换, 如果 eUICC保存有第二运营商网络的签约信息, 则该 UE曾经执行过 向第二运营商网络的切换, 如果 UE的 eUICC中未保存有第二运营商网络 的签约信息, 则该 UE是首次向该第二运营商网络进行切换。 本领域技术人员可以获知,若检测到 UE未满足预设切换条件,则可以 继续由第一运营商网络为 UE提供服务。
可选地, 所述切换模块 63具体用于当所述指示为切换至第二运营商网 络时, 所述 UE切换到所述第二运营商网络;
