The MSC 280 is configured to interface with a public switched telephone network (PSTN) 290. The MSC 280 is also configured to interface with a BSC 275 that can be coupled to the base station 270 via a backhaul line. The backhaul line can be constructed in accordance with any of a number of well known interfaces including, for example, E1/T1, ATM, IP, PPP, Frame Relay, HDSL, ADSL, or xDSL. It will be appreciated that the system as shown in FIG. 2 may include multiple BSCs 2750.

Each BS 270 can serve one or more partitions (or regions), with each partition covered by a multi-directional antenna or an antenna pointing in a particular direction radially away from the BS 270. Alternatively, each partition may be covered by two or more antennas for diversity reception. Each BS 270 can be configured to support multiple frequency allocations, and each frequency allocation has a particular frequency spectrum (eg, 1.25 MHz, 5 MHz, etc.).

The intersection of partitioning and frequency allocation can be referred to as a CDMA channel. BS 270 may also be referred to as a Base Transceiver Subsystem (BTS) or other equivalent terminology. In such a case, the term "base station" can be used to generally mean a single BSC 275 and at least one BS 270. A base station can also be referred to as a "cell station." Alternatively, each partition of a particular BS 270 may be referred to as multiple cellular stations.

A broadcast receiving module 111 as shown in FIG. 1 is provided at the mobile terminal 100 to receive a broadcast signal transmitted by the BT 295. In Figure 2, several satellites 300 are shown, for example, a Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite 300 can be employed. The satellite 300 helps locate at least one of the plurality of mobile terminals 100.

In Figure 2, a plurality of satellites 300 are depicted, but it is understood that useful positioning information can be obtained using any number of satellites. The GPS module 115 as shown in Figure 1 is typically configured to cooperate with the satellite 300 to obtain desired positioning information. Instead of GPS tracking techniques or in addition to GPS tracking techniques, other techniques that can track the location of the mobile terminal 100 can be used. Additionally, at least one GPS satellite 300 can selectively or additionally process satellite DMB transmissions.

As a typical operation of a wireless communication system, BS 270 receives reverse link signals from various mobile terminals 100. Mobile terminal 100 typically participates in calls, messaging, and other types of communications. Each reverse link signal received by a particular base station 270 is processed within a particular BS 270. The obtained data is forwarded to the relevant BSC 275. The BSC provides call resource allocation and coordinated mobility management functions including a soft handoff procedure between the BSs 270. The BSC 275 also routes the received data to the MSC 280, which provides additional routing services for interfacing with the PSTN 290. Similarly, PSTN 290 interfaces with MSC 280, which forms an interface with BSC 275, and BSC 275 controls BS 270 accordingly to transmit forward link signals to mobile terminal 100.

Based on the above-described mobile terminal hardware structure and communication system, various embodiments of the present invention are proposed.

The mobile terminal stores parameter information of the virtual SIM card. As shown in FIG. 3, the method includes the following steps:

S100. Receive an instruction for accessing parameter information of the virtual SIM card.

S200, receiving the input password;

S300: Compare the received password with a preset password. If the password is the same, the parameter information of the virtual SIM card is allowed to be accessed. Otherwise, the parameter information of the virtual SIM card is denied.

The parameter information of the SIM includes, but is not limited to, an operator card and an integrated circuit card identity (ICCID) of the card to which the virtual SIM card belongs, and is solidified in the SIM card, and the ICCID is a unique identification number of the IC card. It consists of 20 digits and its encoding format is: XXXXXX 0MFSS YYGXX XXXXX. They are introduced as follows: the first six operators code, China Mobile's 898600, 898602, China Unicom's 898601, China Telecom's 898603), the contracted carrier's package category and so on.

Optionally, the preset password includes at least two types of passwords, and the password is compared with a preset password. The virtual SIM card information management method further includes:

In the conventional solution, the user sends a request for reading the SIM card parameter information to the modem through a wireless access point (AP, Wireless Access Point), and then the modem reads the parameter information in the SIM information storage module and then passes through the shared memory. Sended to the AP side, the AP side can read related parameter information (such as contacts, SMS, etc.) in the SIM card in this way. This method does not have any protective measures, and it is easy to cause leakage of SIM information.

Compared with the conventional solution, this embodiment adds a password storage step and an authentication step. The system requires the user to input an authentication password when using the mobile phone, and store the authentication password in the storage module. When the upper system wants to access the SIM card information, the CPU notifies the security module and reads the SIM information settings from the CPU. In order to maintain the (HOLD) state, the AP side is required to input an authentication password, and the security control module compares the authentication password input by the user with the stored authentication password. If the same, the CPU is notified to continue to read the SIM information; If the access is different, the access is denied. In this embodiment, the SIM information of the user is not stolen by others, and the privacy of the user is protected while ensuring that the network traffic of the user is not stolen by others.
