Provide technical support for communication functions such as short messages, calls, and WeChat for wearable devices.

The wearable device in the present application is mainly considered as an auxiliary device of the user's mobile phone. In the scenario where the user is not convenient to carry the mobile phone, the virtual SIM card sharing technology is used to replace some functions of the user's mobile phone, for example, by replacing the user's mobile phone. Send short messages, answer calls, and more. The wearable device stores the virtual SIM card data, and performs the required function substitution on the user's mobile phone based on the virtual SIM card data. Specifically, the virtual SIM card data in the wearable device is shared from the mobile phone, etc. SIM card data provided by the mobile terminal, wherein the virtual SIM card data in the wearable device is activated by the server when the distance between the wearable device and the mobile terminal is greater than a set threshold, the movement The SIM card data in the terminal is deactivated by the server, so that the functions of the SIM card in the mobile terminal (such as short message, call, WeChat function, etc.) are temporarily disabled.

The method of the present application is mainly for solving the problem that the battery life of the wearable device is poor, so as to alleviate the power loss of the wearable device and prolong the wearability of the wearable device. operating hours.

Referring to FIG. 1 , when a wearable device is performing a preset call event, for example, when a call is being made or a call request is received but is not answered, the virtual SIM card-based call processing method of the present application may perform the following process on the wearable device. The current call event is used for terminal transfer:

S101: Determine a target terminal required to implement terminal handover.

In the scenario where the user does not carry the mobile phone, in order to alleviate the power loss of the wearable device, the user may transfer the call event on the wearable device during the call of the wearable device or when the wearable device receives the call request but fails to answer the call. To some available terminals in the vicinity, for example, public service terminals such as fixed telephones and service mobile phones provided by public service outlets, or mobile phones of family members and friends, etc., to realize terminal handover of the call terminal.

Turning on the wearable device when the user has a terminal switching requirement for the current call event On the basis of the short-range wireless communication technology, such as Bluetooth, the terminal searches, on the basis of which the wearable device displays the terminal numbers of the searched terminals on the screen interface. After that, the user can determine the target terminal to be used for implementing the terminal handover from the display result.

S102: Share virtual SIM card data of the wearable device to the target terminal.

After determining the target terminal to be used for implementing the terminal handover, the wearable device establishes a communication connection with the target terminal through a short-range wireless communication technology such as Bluetooth; and on the basis of this, initiates a connection with the target terminal. The virtual SIM card data transmission realizes sharing the virtual SIM card data owned by the virtual SIM card to the target terminal, and completes association and binding with the target terminal.

S103: When the sharing is completed, sending a terminal handover request of a call event to the server, so that the server activates the virtual SIM card data shared in the target terminal, and deactivates the virtual SIM card data in the wearable device. Transmitting the call event from the wearable device to the target terminal based on the virtual SIM card data shared by the target terminal; wherein the terminal handover request includes a terminal number of the target terminal .

The wearable device completes the virtual SIM card data transmission with the target terminal, and after the binding between the two terminals, sends a terminal handover request of the call event to the cloud server of the mobile communication network, to request the cloud server to present the wearable device. The call event is transferred to the target terminal. The terminal handover request includes a terminal number of the target terminal to support the cloud server to identify and locate the target terminal.

When the terminal of the call event is transferred by using the virtual SIM card data shared by the target terminal, the virtual SIM card data shared by the target terminal needs to be activated first, so that the target terminal resides in the network, and the mobile communication network does not allow multiple mobile terminals. At the same time, the same SIM card data resident network is activated. Therefore, the cloud server needs to activate the virtual SIM card data in the wearable device while activating the virtual SIM card data in the target terminal, and simultaneously based on the virtual SIM card shared in the target terminal. Data, transferring the current call event of the wearable device to the target terminal, and implementing terminal switching of the call event.

At this time, the target terminal will remind the user to connect the call by ringing, etc., so that the user can complete the call on the wearable device on the target terminal, for example, the public service terminal provided by the public service outlet, or the mobile phone of the family member or friend. An event, such as turning on and completing an unanswered call on a wearable device, or continuing to complete a call that has not ended during a wearable device call.

It should be noted that, in the present application, after the call event is transferred from the wearable device to the target terminal, since the target terminal performs the call event by using the virtual SIM card data shared from the wearable device, After the call event is transferred, no additional billing will be generated for the original SIM card of the target terminal.

It can be seen from the above solution that the method of the present application is applied to a wearable device that stores virtual SIM card data. When the wearable device performs a call event, if the user has a terminal handover requirement, the wearable device may first determine a target required to implement the terminal handover. a terminal, after which the virtual SIM card data is shared into the target terminal, and the server is activated to transmit the virtual SIM card data in the target terminal by transmitting a terminal handover request including the target terminal number to the mobile communication network server, Deactivating the virtual SIM card data in the wearable device, and transferring the current call event of the wearable device to the target terminal based on the virtual SIM card data shared by the target terminal. It can be seen that the application implements the terminal switching of the wearable device call event by the virtual SIM card sharing, and successfully reduces the power consumption voltage of the wearable device during the call event, thereby effectively alleviating the power loss of the wearable device.

After deactivating the virtual SIM card data of the wearable device and transferring the call event to the target terminal, the wearable device detects the communication connection between the device and the target terminal in real time, and detects that it is between the target terminal and the target terminal. When the communication connection is disconnected (for example, when the user's call ends, the public service terminal is returned to the public service network and left), the binding relationship between the wearable device and the target terminal is considered to be ended, and at this time, the wearable device moves to the mobile device. The cloud server of the communication network sends a SIM card activation switching request including the target terminal number, and after receiving the request, the server deactivates the virtual SIM card in the target terminal, and activates the virtual SIM card in the wearable device to implement the wearable device. Resident network.

It should be noted that, when the wearable device sends the SIM card activation switching request to the cloud server, since the virtual SIM card data in the wearable device is in a deactivated state, the communication between the wearable device and the server is based on the The communication of the device terminal number is worn instead of the virtual SIM card based communication.
