本公开文本实施例中,当IF1接口连接指定类型设备时,选择开关23与IF1接口之间处于连通状态,且选择开关23与第一协议接口22之间处于未连通状态;当IF1接口没有连接指定类型设备时,选择开关23与第一协议接口22之间处于连通状态,且选择开关23与IF1接口之间处于未连通状态。
其中,该指定类型设备具体包括但不限于COS(Chip Operating System,芯片操作系统)编程器或者个人化数据写入设备。
基于此,当通信芯片的IF1接口连接COS编程器或者个人化数据写入设备时,选择开关23通过判断IF1接口的VPP(编程电压)状态,可以确定VPP状态当前为高电平,此时选择开关23的另一端自动倒向IF1接口,使IF1接口与SIMZone单元24连通;当通信芯片的IF1接口没有连接COS编程器或者个人化数据写入设备时,选择开关23通过判断IF1接口的VPP(编程电压)状态,可以确定VPP状态当前为低电平,此时选择开关23的另一端自动倒向第一协议接口22,使第一协议接口22与SIMZone单元24连通。
在本公开文本实施例的一种具体实现方式中,该通信芯片还包括其它单元25。该其它单元25具体包括但不限于DSP(Digital Signal Processing,数字信号处理器)和/或通信芯片外围接口等,该其它单元25的功能在此不再详加赘述。
本公开文本实施例中,上述SIMZone单元24具体包括:RAM(Ramdom Access Memory,随机存储器)241、COS存储单元242、MCU(Micro Control Unit,微控制单元)243、第二协议接口244、个人化数据存储单元245。其中,RAM 241与MCU 243连接,COS存储单元242与MCU 243连接,第二协议接口244与MCU 243连接,个人化数据存储单元245与MCU 243连接。进一步的,SIMZone单元24具体通过该第二协议接口244与选择开关23进 行连接。
本公开文本实施例中,RAM 241,用于保存COS在MCU 243运行所需的临时数据。COS存储单元242,用于保存COS的程序代码。MCU 243,用于运行COS。第二协议接口244,是SIMZone单元24与外部的唯一接口,用于提供通信功能(如ISO7816通信功能)和编程功能。其中,该通信功能提供SIMZone单元24与基带CPU 21之间的通信功能,该编程功能提供IF1接口对COS存储单元242进行COS编程,该编程功能还提供对个人化数据存储单元245进行个人化数据写入。个人化数据存储单元245,用于存储个人化数据。
其中,第二协议接口244具体为基于ISO7816的协议接口。进一步的,在2G网络中,个人化数据具体包括但不限于以下之一或者任意组合:IMSI(International Mobile Subscriber Identification Number,国际移动用户识别码)、ICCID(Integrate Circuit Card Identity,集成电路卡识别码)、PIN1(Personal Identification Number,个人识别密码)、PIN2、PUK1(PIN Unblocking Key,PIN码解锁密码)、PUK2、KI(Key identifier,密钥标识)、SMSP(短信中心号码);在3G网络中,个人化数据包括但不限于以下之一或者任意组合:IMSI、ICCID、PIN1、PIN2、PUK1、PUK2、密钥(Key)、OPC(运营商密钥)、SMSP。
为了保证安全性,可将SIMZone单元24的安全级别配置到当前传统SIM卡同等的安全级别。由于个人化数据存储单元245不对外暴露,通过COS的安全计算和第二协议接口244的安全通信功能,保证了个人化数据的安全。
本公开文本实施例中,IF1接口具体可以为COS编程接口或者个人化数据写入接口。在IF1接口为COS编程接口时,将COS编程接口连接COS编程器,即第二协议接口244通过COS编程接口连接COS编程器,由COS编程器对COS存储单元242进行COS编程。在IF1接口为个人化数据写入接口时,将个人化数据写入接口连接个人化数据写入设备(可以称为写卡器),即第二协议接口244通过个人化数据写入接口连接个人化数据写入设备,由个人化数据写入设备对个人化数据存储单元245进行个人化数据写入。
进一步的,IF1接口的硬件线路组成具体包括:VCC(电源)、GND(接 地端)、RESET(复位)、VPP(编程电压)、CLK(时钟)、数据I/O。
当使用IF1接口的COS编程接口对COS存储单元242进行COS编程后,COS存储单元242是一次性编程单元,COS存储单元242内的数据不可被擦除或修改,以保证COS不会被篡改。如果需要修改SIMZone单元24内的个人化数据,需要使用IF1接口的个人化数据写入接口,通过与COS交互完成,具体流程在此不再赘述。需要注意的是,为了保证个人化数据的安全,个人化数据存储单元245可以采用EEPROM(Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory,电可擦可编程只读存储器)技术或FLASH技术实现。
本公开文本实施例中,由于SIMZone单元24集成在通信芯片的内部,因此,SIMZone单元24需要与基带CPU 21、选择开关23、其它单元25采用相同的制造制程,如0.13微米制程、65纳米制程等。由于现有技术的限制,不同制程下的SIMZone单元24的设计方法也不尽相同。对于RAM 241、MCU243、第二协议接口244都可以采用和通信芯片中的基带CPU21、其它单元25相同的制程。对于COS存储单元242,可以采用OTP(一次性编程)逻辑技术实现,也适用于不同的制程。对于个人化数据存储单元245,一般只有90nm、0.13微米等的支撑才支持EEPROM或FLASH,因此个人化数据存储单元245采用EEPROM或FLASH实现时,整个通信芯片也只能采用相应的制程。
以下分别说明不同情况下通信芯片的SIMZone单元24的实现方法。
(1)在通信芯片采用65nm、55nm、40nm等以下的制程时,RAM 241、MCU 243、第二协议接口244采用数字技术实现,COS存储单元242采用OTPROM技术实现,个人化数据存储单元245采用MTP逻辑实现。其中,当技术进步到可以在通信芯片内嵌入EEPROM或FLASH时,个人化数据存储单元245可以采用EEPROM或FLASH。由于一般MTP的擦写次数只能达到10次左右,因此个人化数据的更新次数有限;如果采用EEPROM或FLASH实现个人化数据存储单元245,其擦写次数就可以为10万次以上。
按照当前协议标准,当基带CPU 21与SIMZone单元24的通信要求小区更新时,基带CPU21需要向SIMZone单元24写入小区信息,但由于通信芯片将SIMZone单元24集成在内部,因此无需向SIMZone单元24写入小区信 息。基于此,即使人化数据存储单元245采用MTP逻辑实现,也不会有任何问题,只不过个人化数据的更新次数有限,不能频繁地本地写卡或空中写卡。
(2)通信芯片采用0.13微米等以上的制程时,个人化数据存储单元245的实现采用EEPROM或FLASH,个人化数据的更新次数可达到10万次以上。
需要说明的是,通过本公开文本实施例的方式进行设计时,可以保证SIMZone单元24的安全等级不低于传统SIM卡。而且,由于COS程序代码存放于COS存储单元242中,容易被反编译。为了解决这个问题,本公开文本实施例中,在通信芯片的设计过程中,COS存储单元242可以采用硬件逻辑实现,即可以将COS程序代码转换为RTL(寄存器传输级)存储在COS存储单元242。
综上所述,本公开文本实施例中,通过将SIM卡集成在终端设备的通信芯片内,安全性不低于传统SIM卡,降低SIM卡在终端设备的PCB上的占用面积,节省了PCB面积,避免SIM卡作为独立硬件实体,避免插拔过程,提高可靠性和安全性。COS在通信芯片内由硬件逻辑实现,不容易被反编译。
通过以上的实施方式的描述,本领域的技术人员可以清楚地了解到本公开文本可借助软件加必需的通用硬件平台的方式来实现,当然也可以通过硬件,但很多情况下前者是更佳的实施方式。基于这样的理解,本公开文本的技术方案本质上或者说对现有技术做出贡献的部分可以以软件产品的形式体现出来,该计算机软件产品存储在一个存储介质中,包括若干指令用以使得一台计算机设备(例如是个人计算机,服务器,或者网络设备等)执行本公开文本各个实施例所述的方法。
本领域技术人员可以理解附图只是一个优选实施例的示意图,附图中的模块或流程并不一定是实施本公开文本所必须的。
本领域技术人员可以理解实施例中的装置中的模块可以按照实施例描述进行分布于实施例的装置中,也可以进行相应变化位于不同于本实施例的一个或多个装置中。上述实施例的模块可以合并为一个模块,也可以进一步拆分成多个子模块。
上述本公开文本实施例序号仅仅为了描述,不代表实施例的优劣。
以上公开的仅为本公开文本的几个具体实施例,但是,本发明并非局限 于此,任何本领域的技术人员能思之的变化都应落入本发明的保护范围。
