In the following, in conjunction with the above system, a method for registering a user identification module according to an embodiment of the present invention is described by taking a SIM card as an example.

FIG. 4 is a schematic flowchart of a method for registering a user identification module in a wireless mobile communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 4, the method includes:

S401: The terminal sends the first identifier set to the network server.

After the SIM card is registered in the wireless mobile communication network, the terminal reads the identification information of at least two SIM cards currently inserted therein, and processes the identification information into the first identification set and sends the identification information to the network server. The at least two SIM cards mentioned herein may be all SIM cards currently inserted into the terminal, or may be part of the SIM card currently inserted into the terminal, which can be set by a person skilled in the art, and is not specifically limited in the present invention. In this embodiment, at least two SIM cards are taken as an example for all SIM cards currently inserted into the terminal.

In an actual application, the first identifier set may be a list of identification information. That is, the identification information of at least two SIM cards inserted into the terminal is saved in the form of a table. For the SIM card, the identification information may be an integrated circuit card identifier (ICCID) of the card.

For example, three SIM cards are currently inserted in the terminal, namely, card 1, card 2, and card 3. The identification information corresponding to the card 1 is ICCID=a, and the identification information of the card 2 is ICCID=b, and the identification information of the card 3 is ICCID=c. After reading the ICCIDs of the three cards, the terminal obtains the first identification set, that is, the identification information list, as shown in Table 1 below.

ICCIDICCID
ICCIDICCID	aa
bb	aa
bb	cc

Table 1

In the above table 1, the order of the identification information may be randomly generated, or may be arranged in the order of the card slot of the SIM card, as long as the table contains the ICCID of all the SIM cards inserted into the terminal, which is not specifically limited in the present application.

In practical applications, the registration information used for registration by the SIM card may change, so In order to obtain the most accurate registration information from the core network, the first identification set may also include other registration information used by the SIM card for registration, such as Mobile Country Code (MCC), Access Point Name (APN, Access Point). Name), PIN Code (Personal Identification Number Code), etc.

In another embodiment, since the terminal can include at least two SIM cards, when the terminal starts to power on, if the terminal controls all SIM cards to be registered, the power consumption of the terminal may be large, affecting the terminal battery. The method further includes: before the S401, the method further includes: the terminal obtains registration information of the preset primary card in the at least two SIM cards, and then controls the preset primary card registration according to the registration information, so that the terminal can Only the preset master card is controlled for registration, and it is not necessary to control all SIM cards to register, which reduces the power consumption of the terminal for the SIM card registration part and enhances the battery life.

For example, the card 1 inserted into the card slot 1 by default is a preset main card. First, the terminal reads the registration information of the card stored in the card 1, or obtains the card 1 according to the setting of each registration parameter of the card 1 by the user. registration message. After obtaining the registration information of the card 1, the terminal controls the card 1 to register with the wireless mobile communication network based on these registration information.

S402: The network server prioritizes the identifier information in the first identifier set according to the priority policy, and obtains the second identifier set.

After receiving the first identifier set from the terminal, the network server determines, according to the preset priority policy, the priority of the SIM card corresponding to each identifier information in the set, and the priority is determined by the priority. The low order sorts the identification information to obtain a second identification set. Here, the second identifier set and the first identifier set are the same type of data.

In a practical application, the preset priority policy is determined by the operator according to the tariff corresponding to the SIM card and/or the service quality of the network where the SIM card is located, and is preset in the network server, and the network server obtains the real-time information from the core network. After the tariff of the SIM card inserted by the terminal and/or the network service quality list of the current location of the terminal, each identification information is sorted according to a priority policy.

It should be noted that the foregoing priority policy may be, but is not limited to, the following two cases.

First, the priority policy is that the lower the tariff, the higher the priority. That is, the network server obtains the tariff corresponding to each identification information sent by the core network by sending a tariff message request carrying the identification information to the core network, and then the network server performs the identification information according to the order of the tariff from low to high. Priority ordering.

Second, the priority strategy is to determine the priority by the level of tariffs and the quality of network services. That is, the network server obtains the tariff information requesting the identification information and the network quality of service message request to the core network, and obtains the tariff corresponding to each identifier information sent by the core network and/or the network service quality list of the current location of the terminal, and then , prioritize the identification information.

In practical applications, a roaming list may be used to characterize the network service quality. The list includes all wireless mobile communication networks supported by the current location of the terminal, and these networks are sorted according to the network service quality, and the ranking in this list is ranked. The higher the quality of network service, the better the wireless mobile communication network. The network server can obtain the roaming list by sending an acquisition request to the core network. The roaming list is different in different places, and the core network sends the local roaming list according to the current location of the terminal.

Of course, there may be other priority policies, which are not specifically limited by the present invention.

For example, the first identifier set is the above table 1. The network server may first sort each identification information according to the tariff from low to high. The sequence is: ICCID=b and ICCID=a juxtaposed, ICCID=c; further, the network server According to the network service quality list, the first sorted identification information is sorted a second time, and the sequence is: ICCID=b, ICCID=a, ICCID=c, that is, in the case of the same tariff, ICCID= b The ranking in the network quality of service list is higher than the ranking of ICCID=a. Therefore, the priority of ICCID=b is higher than the priority of ICCID=a. At this time, the network server can sort according to the second time. The order of the table is updated, and Table 2 is obtained, that is, the second identifier set, and Table 2 is as shown in the following table.

ICCIDICCID
ICCIDICCID	bb
aa	bb
aa	cc

Table 2

S403: The network server sends the second identifier set to the terminal.

That is, the network server transmits a second set of identifiers to the terminal through the wireless mobile communication network.

S404: The terminal sequentially controls, according to the second identifier set, the at least two SIM cards to try to register according to the order of priority from high to low, until one of the at least two SIM cards successfully registers with the wireless mobile communication network.

For example, according to the order of ICCID in Table 2, the terminal controls the corresponding card 2, card 1, and card 3 in order of priority according to the order of priority from high to low, that is, in the order of ICCID=b, ICCID=a, and ICCID=c. Until one of the cards is registered successfully.

In another embodiment, the user may add or delete the SIM card inserted into the terminal during the use process, that is, the SIM card may be newly inserted or the original SIM card may be unplugged, and the new SIM card may be replaced. The original SIM card, at this time, before S401, the terminal can detect whether all SIM cards currently inserted into the terminal are changed. When detecting that the SIM cards are changed, the terminal is based on the identification information of the changed SIM card. The first identification set is updated, and then S401 is performed. All SIM card changes mentioned here refer to all SIM cards currently inserted into the terminal as a SIM card set, whether adding, replacing or deleting the SIM card, for the terminal, the SIM card set is considered as That is, all the SIM cards inserted therein are changed.

The terminal detects the above change. If any SIM card in the terminal is not successfully registered to the wireless mobile communication network at this time, the terminal continues to control the SIM card according to the priority order before the change. The program is registered to the wireless mobile communication network until one of the SIM cards is successfully registered to the wireless mobile communication network, and then the terminal updates the first identification set based on the identification information of the changed SIM card. If a SIM card in the terminal is successfully registered to the wireless mobile communication network at this time, the terminal directly updates the first identifier set based on the identification information of the changed SIM card.

In summary, the terminal sends the identifier information of the at least two user identification modules that are inserted into the terminal, that is, the first identifier set to the network server, and the network server sorts the identifier information in the first identifier set according to the priority policy. And the second identifier set is sent to the terminal, and then the terminal starts from the user identification module with high priority according to the second identifier set, and sequentially controls the at least two user identification modules to try to register until the A subscriber identity module is successfully registered, and the last successfully registered subscriber identity module is the best one of all subscriber identity modules that can be registered to the wireless mobile communication network, and the wireless mobile communication network in which it is located is also the optimal wireless mobile communication network. Therefore, the technical problem that the terminal cannot automatically register to the optimal wireless mobile communication network in the related art is effectively solved, the intelligence degree of the terminal is improved, and a good user experience is provided.

Based on the same inventive concept, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for registering a user identification module, which may be applied to the terminal described in one or more embodiments.

FIG. 5 is a schematic flowchart of a method for a terminal to perform registration of a user identification module according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Figure 5, the method includes:

S501: The terminal sends the first identifier set to the network server, where the first identifier set includes the identifier information of the at least two user identification modules currently inserted into the terminal.

In practical applications, the user identification module may be a SIM card such as a standard SIM card, a Micro-SIM card, or a Nano-SIM card, or may be a UIM card. Of course, it may also be another type of user identification module, and the present invention does not. Specifically limited.

Optionally, the same type of user identification module may be set in the terminal, or different types of user identification modules may be set.

In this embodiment, the user identification module takes the SIM card as an example, and then the first identification set may be a list of identification information. That is, the identification information of at least two SIM cards is saved in the form of a table. Wherein, for the SIM card, the identification information may be the ICCID of the card.

It should be noted that the at least two SIM cards may be all the SIM cards currently inserted into the terminal, or may be the SIM cards that are currently inserted into the terminal, and may be set by a person skilled in the art, which is not specifically limited in the present invention. In this embodiment, at least two SIM cards are taken as an example for all SIM cards currently inserted into the terminal.

For example, three SIM cards are currently inserted in the terminal, namely, card 1, card 2, and card 3. The identification information corresponding to the card 1 is ICCID=a, and the ICCID of the card 2=b, and the ICCID of the card 3=c. After reading the ICCIDs of the three cards, the terminal generates a first identification set, that is, a list of identification information, as shown in Table 1 below.

ICCIDICCID
ICCIDICCID	aa
bb	aa
bb	cc

Table 1

In practical applications, since the registration information used for registration by the SIM card may be changed, in order to obtain the most accurate registration information from the core network, the first identification set may further include other registration information used by the SIM card for registration, such as MCC, APN, PIN Code, etc.

S502: The terminal receives the second identifier set from the network server, where the second identifier set is prioritized by the network server according to the priority policy, and the identifier information in the first identifier set is prioritized. Obtained after the order;

After receiving the first identifier set from the terminal, the network server determines, according to the preset priority policy, the priority of the user identification module corresponding to each identifier information in the set, and the priority is higher according to the priority. The identification information is sorted in a low order to obtain a second identification set. Here, the second identifier set and the first identifier set are the same type of data.

In an actual application, the preset priority policy is specifically determined by the operator according to the tariff corresponding to the user identification module and/or the service quality of the network where the user identification module is located, and is preset in the network server, when the network server is from the core network. After obtaining the tariff of the subscriber identity module inserted by the terminal and/or the network service quality list of the current location of the terminal in real time, each identification information is sorted according to the priority policy.

For example, the first identifier set is the above table 1. The network server first sorts each identification information according to the tariff from low to high. The sequence is: ICCID=b and ICCID=a juxtaposed, ICCID=c; further, the network server follows The network service quality list, for the first sorted identification information, is sorted a second time, the sequence is: ICCID=b, ICCID=a, ICCID=c, that is, in the case of the same tariff, ICCID=b The ranking in the network quality of service list is higher than the ranking of ICCID=a, so the priority of ICCID=b is higher than the priority of ICCID=a. At this time, the network server can sort according to the second sorting mentioned above. In order, Table 1 is updated to obtain Table 2, which is the second identifier set. Table 2 is shown in the following table.

ICCIDICCID
ICCIDICCID	bb
aa	bb
aa	cc

Table 2

S503: The terminal sequentially controls, according to the second identifier set, according to the order of priority from high to low. At least two subscriber identity modules attempt to register until one of the at least two subscriber identity modules successfully registers with the wireless mobile communication network.

Since the terminal can include at least two user identification modules, when the terminal starts to power on, if the terminal controls the at least two user identification modules to register, the power consumption of the terminal may be large, which affects the battery life of the terminal battery. Therefore, before S501, the method further includes: the terminal obtaining registration information of the preset primary card in the at least two user identification modules; the terminal controls the preset primary card registration according to the registration information, so that the terminal can only control the preset primary The card is registered without controlling the registration of at least two user identification modules, which reduces the power consumption of the terminal for the registration part of the user identification module, and enhances the battery life capability.

During the process of using the user, the user identification module inserted into the terminal may be added or deleted, that is, the user identification module may be newly inserted or the original user identification module may be unplugged, and the new user identification module may be used to replace the original user identification module. User identification module. Therefore, before S501, the method further includes: the terminal detecting whether all the user identification modules of the currently inserted terminal are changed; and when detecting that all the user identification modules are changed, the terminal is based on the identification information of the changed user identification module, Update the first identity set.

Based on the same inventive concept, the present invention provides a method for registering a subscriber identity module, which may be applied to a network server as described in one or more of the above embodiments.
