具体实施方式
为使本发明实施例的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚，下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图，对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述，显然，所描述的实施例是本发明一部分实施例，而不是全部的实施例。
本文中描述的技术可用于各种通信系统，例如3G、4G或下一代通信系统，例如全球移动通信系统(Global System for Mobile communications，GSM)，码分多址(Code Division Multiple Access，CDMA)系统，时分多址(Time Division Multiple Access，TDMA)系统，宽带码分多址(Wideband Code Division Multiple Access Wireless，WCDMA)，频分多址(Frequency Division Multiple Addressing，FDMA)系统，正交频分多址(Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access，OFDMA)系统，单载波频分多址(SC-FDMA)系统，通用分组无线业务(General Packet Radio Service，GPRS)系统，长期演进(Long Term Evolution，LTE)系统，以及其他此类通信系统。
下面将对本发明实施例中的部分用语进行解释说明：
终端设备，是指向用户提供语音和/或数据连通性的设备，例如可以包括具有无线连接功能的手持式设备、或连接到无线调制解调器的处理设备。该终端设备可以经无线接入网(Radio Access Network，RAN)与核心网进行通信，与RAN交换语音和/或数据。该终端设备可以包括用户设备(User Equipment，UE)、无线终端设备、移动终端设备、订户单元(Subscriber Unit)、订户站(Subscriber Station)，移动站(Mobile Station)、移动台(Mobile)、远程站(Remote Station)、接入点(Access Point，AP)、远程终端设备(Remote Terminal)、接入终端设备(Access Terminal)、用户终端设备(User Terminal)、用户代理(User Agent)、或用户装备(User Device)等。例如，可以包括移 动电话(或称为“蜂窝”电话)、移动电脑、平板电脑、个人数字助理(Personal Digital Assistant，PDA)、媒体播放器、智能电视，以及上述两项或两项以上的组合等。
本发明实施例中的第一设备为可以读取软SIM卡数据的终端设备。第二设备用于向运营商获取软SIM卡数据。其中，所述第二设备可以通过嵌入式的eSIM模块获取软SIM卡数据。所述第二设备也可以插入实体SIM卡，并通过实体SIM卡获取软SIM卡数据。所述第二设备还可以通过安装软SIM应用，通过所述软SIM应用获取软SIM卡数据。
第一设备和第二设备的类型可以相同也可以不同。第一设备可以包括穿戴式设备，例如智能手表、智能眼镜或智能衣物等，当然还可以包括非穿戴式设备，例如未设置实体SIM卡的平板电脑(PAD)等。第二设备可以包括非穿戴式设备，例如手机或PAD等，或者第二设备也可以包括穿戴式设备，例如智能手表、智能眼镜或智能衣物等。且第一设备和第二设备的类型可以相同也可以不同，本发明实施例均不作限制。
移动通信运营商服务器，可以视为网络设备，可以包括移动通讯运营商提供的网络服务器，也可以包括基站，基站可以是指接入网中在空中接口上通过一个或多个扇区与无线终端设备通信的设备。基站可用于将收到的空中帧与网际协议(IP)分组进行相互转换，作为无线终端设备与接入网的其余部分之间的路由器，其中接入网的其余部分可包括IP网络。基站还可协调对空中接口的属性管理。例如，基站可以是无线网络控制器(Radio Network Controller，RNC)或基站控制器(Base Station Controller，BSC)，或者也可以是演进的LTE系统(LTE-Advanced，LTE-A)中的演进型基站(NodeB或eNB或e-NodeB，evolutional Node B)，本发明实施例并不限定。
近距离通信协议可以包括目前使用较为广泛的蓝牙(Bluetooth)协议、无线保真(Wireless Fidelity，Wi-Fi)协议、或红外数据传输(Infrared Data Association，IrDA)协议等，还可以包括一些具有发展潜力的近距离无线通信协议，例如紫蜂协议(ZigBee)、超宽带协议(Ultra WideBand)、近距离通信(Near  Field Communication，NFC)协议、或超宽带技术(Ultra Wideband，UWB)协议等。
虚拟客户识别模块，可以识别软SIM卡数据，并根据所述软SIM卡数据中的虚拟用户标识进行通信。所述虚拟客户识别模块可以通过硬件实现也可以通过软件实现。例如所述虚拟客户识别模块可以包括虚拟客户识别模块(virtual Subscriber Identity Module，VSIM)，还可以包括嵌入式客户识别模块(embedded Subscriber Identity Module，eSIM)，当然还可以包括其他可能的形式，本发明实施例不作限制。若虚拟客户识别模块通过软件实现，例如可以表现为应用(APP)的形式，可以称为软SIM应用，第一设备通过运行该软SIM应用的安装包就可以将虚拟客户识别模块安装在第一设备中，第一设备通过运行该软SIM应用就可以实现在移动运营商提供的网络中进行通信。如果虚拟客户识别模块通过硬件实现，则虚拟客户识别模块可以是嵌入在第一设备中的硬件模块，例如为嵌入式的eSIM模块，在下文中，将嵌入式的eSIM模块称为eSIM模块。本发明实施例对于虚拟客户识别模块的形式不作限制。在下文中为了描述方便，也可以将虚拟客户识别模块称为虚拟SIM卡。
虚拟用户标识，即虚拟客户识别模块所支持的通信标识，其在移动通信运营商提供的网络中所能够实现的功能与实体SIM卡所提供的通信标识的功能类似。该用户标识是虚拟客户识别模块所支持的用户标识，例如用于通信的电话号码。因此将其称为虚拟用户标识，名称本身不构成对该特征的限定。虚拟用户标识可以包括卡号，例如称为虚拟卡号，或者也可能包括其他可能形式的标识，例如文字或字母等标识，本发明实施例不作限制。终端设备获得虚拟用户标识后，可以在使用移动网络进行通信时基于该获得的虚拟用户标识来唯一标识使用该设备的用户身份信息，并进行通信。
本发明实施例中的术语“系统”和“网络”可被互换使用。“多个”是指两个或两个以上。“和/或”，描述关联对象的关联关系，表示可以存在三种关系，例如，A和/或B，可以表示：单独存在A，同时存在A和B，单独存在B这三种情况。另外，字符“/”，如无特殊说明，一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或” 的关系。
请参见图1，首先介绍一下本发明实施例的一种可能的应用场景。
图1中包括三个第一设备和一个第二设备，其中第二设备为手机102，手机102中设置了实体SIM卡，三个第一设备分别为智能手表1011、PAD1012和移动路由器1013，三个第一设备中均未设置实体SIM卡。在实际应用中，不限制第一设备的数量和类型，当然也不限制第二设备的数量和类型。第一设备与第二设备之间可以通过短距离通信协议进行通信，第二设备和空中写卡系统可以通过移动通信运营商提供的网络进行通信，其中，空中写卡系统可以理解为移动通信运营商提供的服务器，或者可以理解为移动通信运营商提供的服务器中的硬件模块或软件模块。
下面简单介绍手机102和第二设备中的智能手表1011之间的通信过程：
手机102中设置了实体SIM卡，空中写卡系统可以为手机102分配实体SIM卡对应的通信号码，手机102的通信号码为通常所说的手机号码，或者可以理解为手机102的手机号码与手机102中的实体SIM卡绑定，空中写卡系统可以激活该手机号码，从而手机102可以使用该手机号码在移动通信运营商提供的网络中进行通信。目前，如果第一设备要实现在移动通信运营商提供的网络中通信，例如智能手表1011要在移动通信运营商提供的网络中通信，因智能手表1011中未设置实体SIM卡，无法获得通信号码，因此智能手表1011一般是通过手机102来完成通信，智能手表1011将要发送的信息发送给手机102，由手机102将该信息发送给位于移动通信运营商提供的网络中的通信对端，若其他设备要通过移动通信运营商提供的网络向智能手表1011发送信息，则其他设备可以将信息发送给手机102，由手机102转发给智能手表1011。
综上可见，对于未设置实体SIM卡的设备来说，想要实现在移动通信运营商提供的网络中通信，都需要通过设置了实体SIM卡的设备进行中转，较为麻烦，对中转设备的依赖过高。鉴于此，本发明实施例在该应用场景下提供一种新的通信方式，首先结合附图介绍本发明实施例提供的设备，在设备 介绍完毕后再结合设备以及图1所示的应用场景介绍本发明实施例提供的通信方式。

音频电路360、扬声器361、麦克风362等可选的部件可提供用户与第二设备之间的音频接口。音频电路360可将接收到的音频数据转换后的电信号，传输到扬声器361，由扬声器361转换为声音信号输出。另一方面，麦克风362将收集的声音信号转换为电信号，由音频电路360接收后转换为音频数据，再将音频数据输出处理器390处理后，经射频单元310以发送给比如另一设备，或者将音频数据输出至存储器320以便进一步处理，音频电路也可以包括耳机插孔363，用于提供音频电路和耳机之间的连接接口。
第二设备还可以包括给各个部件供电的电源393，比如电池，优选的，电源393可以通过电源管理系统与处理器390逻辑相连，从而通过电源管理系统实现管理充电、放电、以及功耗管理等功能。
第二设备还可以包括外部接口397，该外部接口可以包括标准的微型通用串行总线(Universal Serial Bus，Micro USB)接口，也可以包括多针连接器，可以用于连接第二设备与其他设备进行通信，也可以用于连接充电器为第二设备充电。
另外，尽管未示出，第二设备还可以包括摄像头、闪光灯、各类传感器等其他可能的功能模块，在此不再赘述。
本发明一实施例还提供一种使用权限控制设备，该设备的结构可继续参考图3。本发明实施例中，使用权限控制设备和分配虚拟用户标识的设备可以是同一设备，例如同为第二设备。当然使用权限控制设备和分配虚拟用户标识的设备也可以是不同的设备。
在本发明实施例中，使用权限控制设备中的处理器390可以完成以下功能：在确定与该使用权限控制设备通过短距离通信协议进行通信的至少一个第一设备分别获得了虚拟用户标识后，确定一个目标第一设备满足更新虚拟用户标识的使用权限的条件，更新该目标第一设备所获取的虚拟用户标识的使用权限。
下面结合设备来介绍本发明实施例提供的通信方式。下面介绍的各个实施例将以图1所示的应用场景为例来详实说明。在下面的各个实施例中，第一设备的结构可参考图2所示的实施例，第二设备的结构可以参考图3所示的实施例，且下面均以第二设备是手机102、手机102中设置的实体SIM卡的号码是号码A、虚拟用户标识是虚拟卡号为例，当然在实际应用中是不限于此的。
参见图4所示，为本发明一实施例提供的分配虚拟卡号的方法实施例，通过该实施例介绍如何分配虚拟卡号、及如何通过虚拟客户识别模块进行通信。
S41、手机102的射频单元310通过号码A向移动通信运营商提供的服务器发送分配请求消息，该分配请求消息可以用于请求注册开通虚拟客户识别模块业务。其中，分配请求消息可以携带手机102的号码A。
虚拟客户识别模块业务也可以称为虚拟SIM卡业务，是本发明实施例中自定义的业务，在手机102开通虚拟SIM卡业务后，移动通信运营商提供的服务器可以根据号码A分配至少一个虚拟卡号，其中，分配的虚拟卡号的数量可以由手机102在向服务器注册开通虚拟SIM卡业务时一并请求，或者也可以由服务器自行确定，在这种情况下，分配请求消息也可以视为还用于请求分配虚拟卡号。其中，虚拟卡号与号码A对应，可以是指虚拟卡号在移动 通信运营商提供的网络中进行通信所产生的资费将计入号码A的资费。
服务器根据号码A分配的每个虚拟卡号都可以不同，这样，手机102可以将服务器分配的至少一个虚拟卡号分配给至少一个第一设备，从而使得至少一个第一设备在不具有实体SIM卡的情况下都可以在移动通信运营商提供的网络中进行通信，且分配给至少一个第一设备的虚拟卡号各不相同，不会出现冲突。
S42、服务器接收到手机102的射频单元310通过号码A发送的用于注册开通虚拟SIM卡业务的分配请求消息后，可以确定是否允许手机102开通虚拟SIM卡业务。服务器确定允许手机102开通虚拟SIM卡业务，则服务器可以根据该分配请求消息携带的号码A分配M个虚拟卡号，M为正整数。
其中，关于服务器确定是否允许手机102开通虚拟SIM卡业务，提供一种确定方式，具体如下：
为了便于管理，服务器可以预先设定允许开通虚拟SIM卡业务的设备，并可以存储这些设备的标识信息或通信标识，通信标识可以是通信号码。那么服务器接到手机102发送的分配请求消息后，可以通过查询确定号码A是否是服务器允许开通虚拟SIM卡业务的设备的通信号码，如果确定号码A是服务器允许开通虚拟SIM卡业务的设备的通信号码，则服务器确定允许手机102开通虚拟SIM卡业务，而如果确定号码A不是服务器允许开通虚拟SIM卡业务的设备的通信号码，则服务器确定不允许手机102开通虚拟SIM卡业务。当然，除了以上确定方式之外，服务器也可以通过其他方式确定是否允许手机102开通虚拟SIM卡业务，本发明实施例不作限制。
服务器可以通过分配请求消息获取号码A和该手机102的标识信息，例如手机102的标识信息可以包括国际移动设备标识(International Mobile Equipment Identity，IMEI)，或者也可以包括手机102的媒体访问控制(Media Access Control，MAC)地址，总之手机102的标识信息可以用于唯一标识手机102。服务器获得手机102的标识信息的目的是将手机102和该手机102的号码A进行绑定，以通过号码A来识别该手机102。
S43、服务器可以将分配的M个虚拟卡号均和号码A建立资费关联。
建立资费关联的意思可以是，为号码A分配的虚拟卡号所产生的资费计入号码A的资费，即由号码A负责，或者由号码A对应的账户或用户承担。则第一设备通过M个虚拟卡号在移动通信运营商提供的网络中进行通信时，则移动通信运营商提供的计费系统会将这些虚拟卡号在该移动通信运营商提供的网络中进行通信所产生的资费计入号码A的资费。
其中，步骤S43也可以不执行，在步骤S42执行完毕之后可直接执行步骤S44。若执行步骤S43，则服务器在分配M个虚拟卡号后可以直接将M个虚拟卡号和号码A建立资费关联，无需后续手机102再请求服务器为M个虚拟卡号和号码A建立资费关联，减少设备之间的交互过程。
S44、服务器可以向手机102发送携带M个虚拟卡号的数据包，即将分配的M个虚拟卡号发送给手机102，则手机102的处理器390可以确定虚拟SIM卡业务开通成功，且可以获得M个虚拟卡号。
本发明实施例中，服务器允许手机102开通虚拟SIM卡业务，则服务器可以向手机102发送针对分配请求消息的响应消息，该响应消息可以用于指示手机102的虚拟SIM卡业务开通成功，手机102通过射频单元310接收针对分配请求消息的响应消息。在另一种替代方案中，服务器允许手机102开通虚拟SIM卡业务，且服务器还根据手机的号码A分配了M个虚拟卡号，则服务器可以向手机102发送针对分配请求消息的响应消息，在该响应消息中可以携带M个虚拟卡号，在这种情况下，该响应消息可以通过携带M个虚拟用户标识的数据包实现，手机102通过射频单元310接收针对分配请求消息的响应消息。其中，若手机102中设置了实体SIM卡，则手机102通过实体SIM卡获得该针对分配请求消息的响应消息，手机102可以将该针对分配请求消息的响应消息存储在实体SIM卡中，或者也可以存储在存储器320中，手机102通过安装的与实体SIM卡对应的APP解析该针对分配请求消息的响应消息，从而可以知道虚拟SIM卡业务开通成功，若针对分配请求消息的响应消息还携带了M个虚拟卡号，则手机102通过安装的与实体SIM卡对应的 APP获得该M个虚拟卡号；若手机102设置了虚拟SIM卡，且虚拟SIM卡为软SIM应用，则手机102通过该软SIM应用获得针对分配请求消息的响应消息，可以将针对分配请求消息的响应消息存储在存储器320中，且通过该软SIM应用解析该针对分配请求消息的响应消息，从而可以知道虚拟SIM卡业务开通成功，若针对分配请求消息的响应消息还携带了M个虚拟卡号，则手机102通过该软SIM应用获得该M个虚拟卡号；若手机102中设置了虚拟SIM卡，且虚拟SIM卡为eSIM模块，则手机102通过eSIM模块获得针对分配请求消息的响应消息，手机102可以将该针对分配请求消息的响应消息存储在eSIM模块中，或者也可以存储在存储器320中，再通过安装的与eSIM模块对应的软SIM应用解析该针对分配请求消息的响应消息，从而可以知道虚拟SIM卡业务开通成功，若针对分配请求消息的响应消息还携带了M个虚拟卡号，则手机102通过安装的与eSIM模块对应的软SIM应用获得该M个虚拟卡号。如果服务器不允许手机102开通虚拟SIM卡业务，则服务器可以向手机102发送针对分配请求消息的响应消息，该响应消息可以用于指示手机102的虚拟SIM卡业务开通失败，在这种情况下服务器也不会分配虚拟卡号。
若执行步骤S43，则上述步骤S43和步骤S44可以同时执行，或者步骤S43在步骤S44之前执行，或者步骤S44在步骤S43之前执行。
S45、手机102在开通虚拟SIM卡业务成功后，在该手机102的虚拟SIM卡功能开启的情况下，该手机102可以通过短距离通信模块以短距离通信协议将M个虚拟卡号发送给M个第一设备，本发明实施例以一个作为第一设备的智能手表1011为例。或者，该手机102也可以只将M个虚拟卡号中的部分虚拟卡号分配给第一设备，其中每个虚拟卡号分配给一个第一设备。在本发明实施例中，手机102发送给第一设备的虚拟SIM卡数据包中可以携带虚拟卡号。
通过短距离通信模块接收了手机102发送的虚拟卡号的第一设备需要事先安装虚拟SIM卡，这样才可以通过安装的虚拟SIM卡从虚拟SIM卡数据包 中获取虚拟卡号，以及可以通过射频单元210以该虚拟卡号在移动通信运营商提供的网络中进行通信。其中，关于第一设备如何通过安装的虚拟SIM卡从虚拟SIM卡数据包中获取虚拟卡号，可以参考图2所示的实施例中的相关描述，不多赘述。自然，该第一设备接收的虚拟卡号的类型需要与智能手表1011中安装的虚拟SIM卡的类型相匹配，例如智能手表1011安装的虚拟SIM卡是VSIM，那么该虚拟卡号应该是VSIM所支持的卡号。
智能手表1011在得到虚拟卡号后，如果该虚拟卡号已激活，则智能手表1011可以直接通过射频单元210以该虚拟卡号在移动通信运营商提供的网络中与其他设备进行通信，而如果该虚拟卡号还未激活，则智能手表1011可以通过智能手表1011中的短距离通信模块向手机101发送激活请求，或者智能手表1011可以直接通过网络向移动通信运营商提供的服务器发送激活请求，以请求激活该虚拟卡号。如果智能手表1011直接向服务器发送了激活请求，那么服务器可以直接对智能手表1011得到的虚拟卡号进行激活，如果智能手表1011向手机102发送了激活请求，则手机102可以通过射频单元310将该激活请求转发给服务器，由服务器对智能手表1011得到的虚拟卡号进行激活。服务器在激活该虚拟卡号后，可以通知手机102，手机102通过手机102中的短距离通信模块通知智能手表1011，或者服务器也可以直接通过网络通知智能手表1011，则智能手表1011可以通过射频单元210以该虚拟卡号在移动通信运营商提供的网络中进行通信。
其中，服务器也可以在分配了M个虚拟卡号之后就直接激活其中的全部虚拟卡号或者部分虚拟卡号，这样第一设备或第二设备后续都无需再请求激活，节省操作流程并方便第一设备快速在移动通信运营商提供的网络中进行通信。但这种方式在安全性上可能会差一些，第一设备后续再请求激活，服务器可以对第一设备进行验证后再确定是否激活其获取的虚拟卡号，这种方式对于设备来说安全性更高。
在一种实施方式中，手机102中可以设置虚拟SIM卡功能，该虚拟SIM卡功能可以由用户来确定是否开启，用户在开启该虚拟SIM卡功能时也可以 有不同的方式。例如用户可以通过输入单元330在手机102的系统设置中开启该虚拟SIM卡功能，或者手机102中可以安装用于实现虚拟SIM卡功能的应用(APP)，用户在手机102的触摸屏331上点击该APP的图标以实现对该APP的调用，则调用该APP就打开了虚拟SIM卡功能，或者用户可以通过与手机102的触摸屏331进行交互，通过手机102安装的任意一种浏览器打开虚拟SIM卡功能对应的网页，等等。
在一种实施方式中，是否为某个第一设备分配虚拟卡号，可以由使用该手机102的用户确定，例如用户可以确定是否要为第一设备分配虚拟卡号，还可以选择究竟为哪些第一设备分配虚拟卡号。或者，在另一种实施方式中，是否为第一设备分配虚拟卡号，也可以通过其他因素确定，例如，只要有第一设备与该手机102通过短距离通信协议配对成功，则该手机102就可以主动为这些配对成功的第一设备102分配虚拟卡号。
下面举例介绍一种手机102如何确定是否为一个第一设备分配虚拟卡号的方式。例如一个第一设备为智能手表1011，智能手表1011与手机102通过短距离通信协议配对成功，则该手机102可以通过手机102中的短距离通信模块获取该智能手表1011的能力信息，其中，第一设备的能力信息可以包括通信能力(比如是否有通信功能模块)和语音能力中的至少一种，当然还可以包括其他可能的能力信息。若该智能手表1011的能力信息满足预设条件，且该智能手表1011与该手机102处于连接状态，则手机102的处理器390可以主动为该智能手表1011分配虚拟卡号。预设条件例如可以包括智能手表1011具有通信能力和/或具有语音能力。
在一种实施方式中，在手机102通过短距离通信协议向第一设备分配虚拟卡号时，可以通过加密方式进行分配，以提高数据安全性。例如手机102要通过手机102中的短距离通信模块将虚拟SIM卡数据包发送给智能手表1011，则手机102的处理器390可以将虚拟SIM卡数据包加密，再将加密后的虚拟SIM卡数据包通过手机102中的短距离通信模块发送给智能手表1011，智能手表1011通过智能手表1011中的短距离通信模块接收该加密后的数据 包，再通过处理器290对该加密后的数据包进行解密就可以得到虚拟SIM卡数据包，再通过虚拟SIM卡数据包就可以得到虚拟卡号。
在该实施方式下，比较常见的加密安全算法例如包括A3算法(A3Algorithm)，A3算法一般是用于对GSM蜂窝通信进行加密的一种算法，还可以包括A3/A8算法，A3/A8算法包括两个算法，即A3算法和A8算法，是用于对GSM蜂窝通信进行加密的算法，因为A3算法和A8算法通常同时执行，因此，它们通常被称为A3/A8算法，A3/A8算法一般在SIM卡和在GSM网络认证中心中执行。另外加密安全算法还可以包括A5算法(A5Algorithm)，A5算法一般用于对GSM蜂窝通信进行加密，例如A5加密算法通常用于在终端设备的电话听筒和基站之间搅乱用户语音和数据传输以加强隐私保护，因此A5算法一般在电话听筒和基站子系统(BSS)两者中执行。当然以上几种算法只是举例，第二设备在向第一设备发送虚拟SIM卡数据包时，还可以通过其他可能的加密算法进行加密。
对于任意一个第一设备来说，在接收虚拟SIM卡数据包后，可以通过处理器290调用安装在存储器220中的虚拟SIM卡以从该虚拟SIM卡数据包中得到虚拟卡号，从而可以通过射频单元210以该虚拟卡号在移动通信运营商提供的网络中进行通信，该虚拟卡号在该移动通信运营商提供的网络中进行通信所产生的资费将计入手机102的号码A的资费中。
请参见图5，本发明一实施例提供一种分配虚拟卡号的方法实施例，通过本发明实施例介绍对于图4所示的实施例中的步骤S43的替换方案。
S51：手机102通过射频单元310以号码A向移动通信运营商提供的服务器发送分配请求消息，该分配请求消息可以用于请求注册开通虚拟SIM卡业务。其中，分配请求消息可以携带手机102的号码A。
S52、服务器接收到手机102通过号码A发送的用于注册开通虚拟SIM卡业务的分配请求消息后，可以确定是否允许手机102开通虚拟SIM卡业务。服务器确定允许手机102开通虚拟SIM卡业务，则服务器可以根据该分配请求消息携带的号码A分配M个虚拟卡号，M为正整数。
S53、服务器可以将分配的M个虚拟卡号发送给手机102，则手机102可以确定虚拟SIM卡业务开通成功。
S54、手机102在开通虚拟SIM卡业务成功后，在该手机102的虚拟SIM卡功能开启的情况下，该手机102可以通过手机102中的短距离通信模块以短距离通信协议将M个虚拟卡号发送给M个第一设备。或者，该手机102也可以只将M个虚拟卡号中的部分虚拟卡号分配给第一设备，其中每个虚拟卡号分配给一个第一设备。在本发明实施例中，第二设备发送给第一设备的虚拟SIM卡数据包中可以携带虚拟卡号。
S55、手机102将分配的M个虚拟卡号均和号码A建立资费关联。
这里所谓的手机102为多个虚拟卡号均和号码A建立资费关联，可以通过以下方式实现：手机102可以将需建立关联的虚拟卡号通过射频单元310发送给服务器，请求服务器为这几个虚拟卡号和号码A建立资费关联，服务器在建立资费关联之后可以向手机回复确认消息，则手机102的处理器390可以确定已为这几个虚拟卡号和号码A建立了资费关联。其中，需建立关联的虚拟卡号可能是手机102接收的全部的M个虚拟卡号，或者也可能是M个虚拟卡号中的部分虚拟卡号，例如这部分虚拟卡号可以由手机102随机选择，或者也可以由使用手机102的用户进行选择。即，在图4所示的实施例中是服务器选择将哪些虚拟卡号与号码A建立资费关联，服务器可以根据网络的情况进行选择，在本发明实施例中是手机102选择将哪些虚拟卡号与号码A建立资费关联，对用户来说更为灵活。
其中，本发明实施例中的步骤S54和步骤S55可以同时执行，或者步骤S54在步骤S55之前执行，或者步骤S55在步骤S54之前执行。
请参见图6，本发明一实施例提供一种分配虚拟卡号的方法实施例。通过本发明实施例介绍对于图4所示的实施例中的步骤S44的替换方案，即介绍服务器给手机102发送虚拟卡号的另一种方式，在本发明实施例中，服务器可以不直接将虚拟卡号发送给手机102，而是将用于获得虚拟卡号的校验信息发送给手机102，这样可以进一步增强安全性。
S61、用户在手机102上通过射频单元310以号码A向移动通信运营商提供的服务器发送分配请求消息，该分配请求消息可以用于请求注册开通虚拟SIM卡业务，还可以认为，该分配请求消息还可以用于请求分配虚拟卡号。
S62、服务器接收到手机102通过号码A发送的用于注册开通虚拟SIM卡业务的分配请求消息后，可以向该号码A分配M个虚拟卡号，M为正整数。
S63、服务器向号码A所在的设备，即手机102，发送针对该分配请求消息的响应消息，该响应消息可以携带M个用于获取虚拟卡号的校验信息，且服务器可以保存M个虚拟卡号，则手机102通过射频单元310接收该响应消息，手机102通过该响应消息可以获得M个用于获取虚拟卡号的校验信息。可选的，服务器在保存M个虚拟卡号时，可以按照M个虚拟卡号与号码A对应的方式进行保存，当然，M个虚拟卡号除了与号码A对应之外还可以与手机102的标识信息对应。
在如前的实施例中，服务器是直接向手机102发送虚拟卡号，而在本发明实施例中，服务器向手机102发送用于获取虚拟卡号的校验信息，即服务器在得到M个虚拟卡号后，可以根据M个虚拟卡号生成M个校验信息，一个校验信息可以用于获得一个虚拟卡号，校验信息可以包括用于指示虚拟卡号的密钥信息，及还可以包括手机102的标识信息和号码A中的至少一项，服务器可以将M个校验信息添加到该响应消息中发送给手机102，在这种情况下，该响应消息也可以通过携带了M个校验信息的数据包实现。
S64、手机102在注册虚拟SIM卡业务成功后，在该手机102的虚拟SIM卡功能开启的情况下，该手机102可以通过手机102中的短距离通信模块以短距离通信协议向M个第一设备发送M个虚拟SIM卡数据包。
其中，手机102在通过射频单元310接收针对分配请求消息的响应消息后，可以从该针对分配请求消息的响应消息中获得M个校验信息。其中，若手机102中安装了放置在卡槽301中的实体SIM卡，则实体SIM卡可以获得射频单元310接收的针对分配请求消息的响应消息，手机102可以将该针对分配请求消息的响应消息存储在实体SIM卡中，或者也可以存储在存储器320中，手机102通过 安装的与实体SIM卡对应的APP解析该针对分配请求消息的响应消息，以从中获得M个校验信息，同样的，手机102可以将M个校验信息存储在实体SIM卡中，或者可以存储在存储器320中。若手机102中设置了虚拟SIM卡，且虚拟SIM卡为软SIM应用，则手机102通过该软SIM应用获得射频单元310接收的针对分配请求消息的响应消息，手机102可以将针对分配请求消息的响应消息存储在存储器320中，且通过该软SIM应用解析该针对分配请求消息的响应消息，以从中获得M个校验信息，手机102可以将M个校验信息存储在存储器320中。若手机102中设置了虚拟SIM卡，且虚拟SIM卡为eSIM模块，则手机102通过eSIM模块获得射频单元310接收的针对分配请求消息的响应消息，手机102可以将该针对分配请求消息的响应消息存储在eSIM模块中，或者也可以存储在存储器320中，再通过安装的与eSIM模块对应的软SIM应用解析该针对分配请求消息的响应消息，以从中获取M个校验信息，手机102可以将M个校验信息存储在eSIM模块中，或者可以存储在存储器320中。
手机102在得到校验信息后，可以将校验信息携带在生成的虚拟SIM卡数据包中通过手机102中的短距离通信模块发送给第一设备。
例如有M个第一设备，则每个第一设备可以接收一个虚拟SIM卡数据包，本发明实施例通过作为任意一个第一设备的智能手表1011举例，即智能手表1011通过智能手表1011中的短距离通信模块接收手机102发送的虚拟SIM卡数据包。智能手表1011中预先安装了虚拟SIM卡，智能手表1011通过安装在存储器220中的虚拟SIM卡从接收的虚拟SIM卡数据包中得到校验信息，按照步骤S44的介绍，校验信息可以包括用于指示虚拟卡号的密钥信息，以及可以包括手机102的标识信息和号码A中的至少一项。
S65、因为智能手表1011获得的校验信息不是虚拟卡号，因此智能手表1011还需要获得虚拟卡号。则智能手表1011通过网络向服务器发送校验信息，以请求获得虚拟卡号。例如，智能手表1011可以向服务器发送用于请求获取虚拟卡号的请求信息，在该请求信息中可以携带校验信息。
S66、服务器通过网络接收智能手表1011发送的请求信息，通过解析获得 其中携带的校验信息，服务器可以对校验信息包括的用于获取虚拟卡号的密钥信息进行校验，另外若校验信息还包括手机102的标识信息，则服务器还对手机102的标识信息进行校验，或者若校验信息还包括号码A，则服务器还对号码A进行校验。若校验通过，则服务器根据校验信息携带的手机102的标识信息或号码A可以确定为号码A分配的虚拟卡号，则服务器可以从为号码A分配的虚拟卡号中选择一个虚拟卡号分配给该智能手表1011。
S67、服务器将为该智能手表1011分配的虚拟卡号通过网络发送给该智能手表1011。
S68、服务器将分配给该智能手表1011的虚拟卡号与号码A建立资费关联。
在本发明实施例中，服务器可以每向第一设备发送一个虚拟卡号，就为该虚拟卡号与号码A建立资费关联，如果服务器为号码A分配了多个虚拟卡号，其中有一部分虚拟卡号未发送给第一设备，那么服务器可以暂时不为这些未发送的虚拟卡号和号码A建立资费关联，可以保证建立资费关联的虚拟卡号都是已使用的虚拟卡号，即保证建立的是有效的资费关联。在这种情况下，步骤S67可以在步骤S68之前执行，或者步骤S67可以在步骤S68之后执行，或者步骤S67和步骤S68可以同时执行。或者，步骤S68也可以替换为：服务器一并为给号码A分配的全部虚拟卡号和号码A建立资费关联，在这种情况下，步骤S68可以发生在步骤S62之后的任意位置。
对于智能手表1011来说，在接收虚拟卡号后，若确定接收的虚拟卡号已与号码A建立了资费关联，且该虚拟卡号已激活，则该智能手表1011可以通过射频单元210以该虚拟卡号在移动通信运营商提供的网络中进行通信，该虚拟卡号在该移动通信运营商提供的网络中进行通信所产生的资费将计入号码A的资费中。另外，关于如何激活虚拟卡号的问题，可参考如前实施例的介绍。
请参见图7，本发明一实施例提供一种分配虚拟卡号的方法实施例。在如前的实施例中，智能手表1011都预先安装了虚拟SIM卡，通过本发明实施例介绍智能手表1011未预先安装虚拟SIM卡或未预先安装eSIM模块形式的虚 拟SIM卡对应的软SIM应用的情况，即涉及到智能手表1011如何安装虚拟SIM卡或安装eSIM模块对应的软SIM应用。
S71、智能手表1011通过智能手表1011中的短距离通信模块向手机101请求获得虚拟客户识别模块安装包，该安装包也可以称为虚拟SIM卡安装包。
其中，该安装包可以用于安装软SIM应用，该软SIM应用可以是虚拟SIM卡本身，或者智能手表1011中已经设置了eSIM模块形式的虚拟SIM卡，则该软SIM应用为eSIM模块对应的应用。
智能手表1011中未预先安装作为虚拟SIM卡的软SIM应用，或者智能手表1011中设置了eSIM模块，但未安装与eSIM模块对应的软SIM应用，如果使用智能手表1011的用户需要通过智能手表1011在移动通信运营商提供的网络中进行通信，那么使用智能手表1011的用户可以通过智能手表1011向手机102请求获得虚拟SIM卡安装包。
S72、手机102通过手机102中的短距离通信模块以短距离通信协议向智能手表1011发送虚拟SIM卡安装包，则智能手表1011可以通过智能手表1011中的短距离通信模块接收手机102发送的虚拟SIM卡安装包。
如果手机102的存储器320中存储了虚拟SIM卡安装包，则手机102可以直接通过手机102中的短距离通信模块向该智能手表1011发送虚拟SIM卡安装包，如果手机102的存储器320中没有存储虚拟SIM卡安装包，则手机102可以先向其他设备请求获得虚拟SIM卡安装包，再将获得的虚拟SIM卡安装包发送给智能手表1011，例如手机102可以通过射频单元310向移动通信运营商的服务器请求获得虚拟SIM卡安装包，当然也可以向其他设备请求获得虚拟SIM卡安装包。或者，如果手机102的存储器320中没有存储虚拟SIM卡安装包，则手机102也可以通过短距离通信模块向智能手表1011发送失败响应消息，即告知智能手表1011获取失败，则流程结束。
S73、智能手表1011的处理器290运行该虚拟SIM卡安装包，安装后得到的安装在存储器220中的软件模块就是作为虚拟SIM卡的软SIM应用，或eSIM模块对应的软SIM应用。
S74、智能手表1011通过智能手表1011中的短距离通信模块向手机102请求获得虚拟卡号。
在安装得到作为虚拟SIM卡的软SIM应用或者与eSIM模块对应的软SIM应用后，如果使用智能手表1011的用户需要通过智能手表1011在移动通信运营商提供的网络中进行通信，那么使用智能手表1011的用户可以通过智能手表1011的输入单元230向智能手表1011输入指令，则智能手表1011通过智能手表1011中的短距离通信模块向手机101请求获得与该虚拟SIM卡相应的虚拟卡号。或者，手机102在向智能手表1011发送虚拟SIM卡的安装包时也可以一并将虚拟卡号发送给智能手表1011，或者，手机102在向智能手表1011发送虚拟SIM卡的安装包之后也可以主动将虚拟卡号发送给智能手表1011，无需智能手表1011再请求，减少设备之间的交互过程。
S75、手机102通过手机102中的短距离通信模块向智能手表1011发送虚拟SIM卡数据包。
该虚拟SIM卡数据包中可以携带为该智能手表1011分配的虚拟卡号，或者可以携带用于获得虚拟卡号的校验信息，关于对校验信息的介绍可参考图6所示的实施例。
其中，如果手机102的存储器320中已经存储了未分配的虚拟卡号，则手机102可以直接通过手机102中的短距离通信模块向智能手表1011发送虚拟卡号，或者，如果手机102的存储器320中已经存储了校验信息，该校验信息对应的虚拟卡号还未分配，则手机102可以直接通过手机102中的短距离通信模块向智能手表1011发送校验信息。而如果手机102的存储器320中事先既未存储未分配的虚拟卡号，也未存储对应的虚拟卡号还未分配的校验信息，则手机102可以先通过射频单元310向移动通信运营商提供的服务器发送分配请求消息，以请求获得虚拟卡号，如果服务器根据该分配请求消息发送给手机102的是虚拟卡号，则手机102可以通过手机102中的短距离通信模块将虚拟卡号发送给智能手表1011，如果服务器根据该分配请求消息发送给手机102的是校验信息，则手机102可以通过手机102中的短距离通信模块将校验信息发送给 智能手表1011。关于手机102如何通过与服务器的交互获得虚拟卡号或校验信息，均可以参考如前的实施例的介绍。
S76、智能手表1011通过虚拟SIM卡从该虚拟SIM卡数据包中获取虚拟卡号或校验信息。
S77、智能手表1011通过网络向服务器发送校验信息，以请求获得虚拟卡号。
如果智能手表1011通过虚拟SIM卡从该虚拟SIM卡数据包中得到的是校验信息，那么智能手表1011还需要通过与服务器进行交互来获得虚拟卡号。
S78、服务器通过网络接收智能手表1011发送的校验信息，可以对校验信息包括的用于获取虚拟卡号的密钥信息进行校验。另外，若校验信息还包括手机102的标识信息，则服务器还对手机102的标识信息进行校验，或者若校验信息还包括号码A，则服务器还对号码A进行校验。若校验通过，则服务器根据校验信息携带的手机102的标识信息或号码A可以确定为号码A分配的虚拟卡号，则服务器可以从为号码A分配的虚拟卡号中选择一个虚拟卡号分配给该智能手表1011。
S79、服务器通过网络将为该智能手表1011分配的虚拟卡号发送给该智能手表1011。
其中，步骤S77-步骤S79是智能手表101通过虚拟SIM卡数据包得到校验信息的情况，如果智能手表1011通过虚拟SIM卡从该虚拟SIM卡数据包中得到的是虚拟卡号，则无需执行步骤S77-步骤S79。
对于智能手表1011来说，在接收虚拟卡号后，若确定接收的虚拟卡号已与号码A建立了资费关联，且该虚拟卡号已激活，则该智能手表1011可以通过射频单元210以该虚拟卡号在移动通信运营商提供的网络中进行通信，该虚拟卡号在该移动通信运营商提供的网络中进行通信所产生的资费将计入号码A的资费中。另外，关于如何激活虚拟卡号及如何建立资费关联的问题，可参考如前实施例的介绍。
本发明一实施例提供一种分配虚拟卡号的方法实施例，通过本发明实施 例介绍手机102获得M个虚拟卡号的另一种方式，即，手机102里可以预置M个虚拟卡号，从而手机102无需请求服务器就可以获得虚拟卡号，减少了手机102与服务器的交互过程。
用户通过手动方式将M个虚拟卡号添加到手机102中，手机102可以将M个虚拟卡号存储在存储器320中。其中，用户可以事先向移动通信运营商申请获取M个虚拟卡号，例如用户可以从移动通信运营商的网站获取，或者可以从移动通信运营商的服务厅获取，等等。或者，手机102得到M个虚拟卡号的方式也可以是，在手机102出厂时，移动通信运营商直接为手机102分配M个虚拟卡号，并可以将M个虚拟卡号存储在手机102的存储器320中。例如相应的移动通信运营商可以直接为通信定制机(联通定制机或移动定制机等)分配M个虚拟卡号，并可以将M个虚拟卡号存储到这些通信定制机中。
对于预置在手机102中的M个虚拟卡号，服务器可以事先为这些虚拟卡号和手机102的号码A建立资费关联，即预置在手机102中的M个虚拟卡号都可以是已经跟手机102的号码A建立了资费关联的虚拟卡号，或者服务器也可以在手机102后续请求时再为这些虚拟卡号和手机102的号码A建立资费关联，至于手机102如何向服务器请求为虚拟卡号和号码A建立资费关联，可参考如前实施例的描述。
即，在本发明实施例中，手机102无需请求服务器就可以直接获得M个虚拟卡号。
若手机102未开通虚拟SIM卡业务，则用户可以与手机102的触摸屏331进行交互，以输入指令，从而指示手机102的射频单元310通过号码A向移动通信运营商提供的服务器发送分配请求消息，该分配请求消息可以用于请求注册开通虚拟SIM卡业务。其中，分配请求消息可以携带手机102的号码A。服务器接收到手机102通过号码A发送的用于注册开通虚拟SIM卡业务的分配请求消息后，可以确定是否允许手机102开通虚拟SIM卡业务。
在本发明实施例中，服务器确定允许手机102开通虚拟SIM卡业务，则服务器向手机102发送针对分配请求消息的响应消息，该响应消息用于指示 虚拟SIM卡业务开通成功。因手机102中已经预置了M个虚拟卡号，则服务器无需再向手机102发送虚拟卡号。手机102通过射频单元310接收该响应消息，并通过该响应消息就可以确定虚拟SIM卡业务开通成功。
其中，如果手机102已经开通了虚拟SIM卡业务，则手机102自然无需向服务器发送分配请求消息，也无需接收服务器发送的针对分配请求消息的响应消息。
手机102在确定开通虚拟SIM卡业务成功后，在该手机102的虚拟SIM卡功能开启的情况下，该手机102可以通过手机102中的短距离通信模块以短距离通信协议将M个虚拟卡号中的任意一个虚拟卡号发送给智能手表1011。例如手机102可以向智能手表1011发送虚拟SIM卡数据包，在虚拟SIM卡数据包中可以携带虚拟卡号。
智能手表1011通过智能手表1011中的短距离通信模块接收该虚拟SIM卡数据包，智能手表1011从该虚拟SIM卡数据包中获得虚拟卡号。在得到虚拟卡号后，智能手表1011通过射频单元210以该虚拟卡号在移动通信运营商提供的网络中与其他设备进行通信。
本发明一实施例提供一种分配虚拟卡号的方法实施例，通过本发明实施例介绍对于图2所示的实施例中的步骤S25的改进方案，即手机102如何将虚拟卡号分配给智能手表1011，且本发明实施例以手机102事先申请了虚拟SIM卡业务为例，即手机102事先已向移动通信运营商提供的服务器申请注册开通了虚拟SIM卡业务。
在本发明实施例中，手机102中安装了作为虚拟SIM卡的软SIM应用，则用户通过手机102的触摸屏331点击该软SIM应用的图标就可以调用该软SIM应用，在调用该软SIM应用后，就相当于开启了虚拟SIM卡功能。
手机102在运行该软SIM应用时，手机102的短距离通信模块检测到手机102和智能手表1011发生短距离通信。例如可能是NFC通信、或WI-FI直连、或手机102和智能手表1011连接到了同一局域网中，等等。则手机102通过手机102的短距离通信模块向智能手表1011发送第一请求消息，第一请 求消息可以用于请求向智能手表1011分配虚拟卡号。
在另一种实现方式中，手机102在向智能手表1011发送第一请求消息之前，还可以先通过手机102中的短距离通信模块获取智能手表1011的能力信息。如果智能手表1011的能力信息表明智能手表1011支持虚拟SIM卡业务，则手机102再通过手机102中的短距离通信模块向智能手表1011发送第一请求消息，如果智能手表1011的能力信息表明智能手表1011不支持虚拟SIM卡业务，则流程可以结束。
在如前的实施例中介绍了，智能手表1011的能力信息可以包括通信能力，在本发明实施例中，智能手表1011的能力信息还可以包括用于指示智能手表1011是否支持虚拟SIM卡业务的信息。
其中，若手机102事先已知晓智能手表1011是否支持虚拟SIM卡业务，则手机102可以直接向智能手表1011发送第一请求消息，而无需获取智能手表1011的能力信息。
智能手表1011在通过智能手表1011的短距离通信模块接收第一请求消息后，可以通过智能手表1011的短距离通信模块向手机102发送针对第一请求消息的响应消息。该针对第一请求消息的响应消息可以用于指示智能手表1011是否同意为智能手表1011分配虚拟卡号。例如，智能手表1011接收第一请求消息后可以通过触摸屏231进行显示，以提供给用户，用户比如可以通过触摸屏231按下确认按键，确定同意接收虚拟卡号，或者也可以通过触摸屏231按下取消按键，确定不同意接收虚拟卡号，则智能手表1011的处理器290可以根据用户的操作生成针对第一请求消息的响应消息。
手机102通过手机102中的短距离通信模块接收针对第一请求消息的响应消息后，若处理器390确定该针对第一请求消息的响应消息用于指示智能手表1011同意为智能手表1011分配虚拟卡号，则处理器390确定可以为智能手表1011分配虚拟卡号。若该针对第一请求消息的响应消息用于指示智能手表1011不同意为智能手表1011分配虚拟卡号，则处理器390确定可以不给该智能手表1011分配虚拟卡号。
如果手机102的存储器320中已经存储了移动通信运营商提供的服务器发送的M个虚拟卡号，那么手机102可以通过手机102中的短距离通信模块直接将其中一个虚拟卡号发送给该智能手表1011，若手机102的存储器320中已经存储了M个虚拟卡号，则这M个虚拟卡号可能是手机102通过向服务器发送分配请求消息获得的，或者也可能是在手机102出厂时即预置在手机102中的。而如果手机102的存储器320中还未存储移动通信运营商提供的服务器发送的虚拟卡号，那么手机102可以先向该服务器申请获得虚拟卡号，该服务器可以为手机102分配M个虚拟卡号，服务器可以将M个虚拟卡号发给手机102，则手机102可以通过手机102中的短距离通信模块将M个虚拟卡号中的一个虚拟卡号发送给该智能手表1011，或者服务器也可以根据M个虚拟卡号生成M个校验信息，并将M个校验信息发送给手机102，每个校验信息可以用于获得一个虚拟卡号，手机102接收M个校验信息，可以通过手机102中的短距离通信模块将其中一个校验信息发送给智能手表1011，智能手表1011根据校验信息就可以获得虚拟卡号。
其中的一些实现过程可参考如前各个实施例的介绍，不多赘述。
本发明一实施例提供一种分配虚拟卡号的方法实施例，通过本发明实施例介绍对于图2所示的实施例中的步骤S25的改进方案，即手机102如何将虚拟卡号分配给智能手表1011，本发明实施例以手机102事先申请了虚拟SIM卡业务为例，即手机102事先已向移动通信运营商提供的服务器申请注册开通了虚拟SIM卡业务。
在本发明实施例中，智能手表1011中安装了作为虚拟SIM卡的软SIM应用，则用户通过智能手表1011的触摸屏231点击该软SIM应用的图标就可以调用该软SIM应用，在调用该软SIM应用后，就相当于开启了虚拟SIM卡功能。
在智能手表1011运行该软SIM应用时，可以通过智能手表1011中的短距离通信模块以短距离通信协议向手机102发送指示消息，该指示消息可以用于指示智能手表1011未分配虚拟卡号，也可以理解为，该指示消息可以用 于请求为该智能手表1011分配虚拟卡号。
手机102通过手机102中的短距离通信模块接收指示消息后，根据该指示消息确定可以为智能手表1011分配虚拟卡号，从而手机102可以通过手机102中的短距离通信模块为智能手表1011分配虚拟卡号。例如，手机102通过手机102中的短距离通信模块接收指示消息后可以通过触摸屏331进行显示，以提供给用户，用户比如可以通过触摸屏331按下确认按键，以确定可以为智能手表1011分配虚拟卡号，或者也可以通过触摸屏331按下取消按键，以确定不为智能手表1011分配虚拟卡号，则手机102的处理器390可以根据用户的操作确定是否为智能手表1011分配虚拟卡号，比如用户按下的是确认按键，则手机102可以确定为智能手表1011分配虚拟卡号。
在一种实现方式中，如果手机102还未开通虚拟SIM卡业务，则手机102在接收指示消息后，可以先提示用户，以确定是否注册开通虚拟SIM卡业务，如手机102可以通过触摸屏331输出提示框以对用户进行提示。若用户确定注册开通虚拟SIM卡业务，则用户通过触摸屏331输入确定注册开通虚拟SIM卡业务的信息，则手机102向移动通信运营商提供的服务器申请注册开通虚拟SIM卡业务。例如手机102可以通过射频单元310向该服务器发送分配请求消息，该分配请求消息可以用于请求注册开通虚拟SIM卡业务。其中，分配请求消息可以携带手机102的号码A。在手机102确定注册开通虚拟SIM卡业务成功后，手机102可以通过手机102中的短距离通信模块为智能手表1011分配虚拟卡号。当然，如果手机102已经注册开通了虚拟SIM卡业务，则手机可以直接为智能手表1011分配虚拟卡号，而无需再次注册开通虚拟SIM卡业务。
在另一种实现方式中，手机102向移动通信运营商提供的服务器申请注册开通虚拟SIM卡业务，还可以通过如下方式实现：若手机102确定注册开通虚拟SIM卡业务，则手机102的处理器390可以下载虚拟SIM卡的安装包，该虚拟SIM卡为软SIM应用。手机102的处理器390在下载该安装包后，可以运行该安装包，以安装该软SIM应用，手机102运行该软SIM应用，并通 过该软SIM应用经射频单元310向移动通信运营商提供的服务器申请注册开通虚拟SIM卡业务，其中，手机102可以通过该软SIM应用经射频单元310向该服务器发送分配请求消息，该分配请求消息可以用于请求注册开通虚拟SIM卡业务，分配请求消息可以携带手机102的号码A。
通过本发明实施例，可以尽量保证将虚拟卡号分配给有需求的第一设备，尽量减少虚拟卡号的浪费，也尽量保证有需求的第一设备都能够获得虚拟卡号。
其中的一些实施过程，例如手机102如何为智能手表1011分配虚拟卡号等过程，可参考如前的各个实施例。
本发明一实施例提供一种分配虚拟卡号的方法实施例，通过本发明实施例介绍上一实施例中涉及的智能手表1011向手机102发送指示消息的实施方式，即介绍智能手表1011向手机102发送指示消息的一种时机。本发明实施例中手机102事先未申请虚拟SIM卡业务，即手机102事先未向移动通信运营商提供的服务器申请注册开通虚拟SIM卡业务。
若手机102和智能手表1011尚未建立短距离通信连接，则手机102和智能手表1011可以通过各自的短距离通信模块以短距离通信协议进行配对。在手机102和智能手表1011配对成功后，若智能手表1011支持虚拟SIM卡业务，则智能手表1011可以通过智能手表1011中的短距离通信模块向手机102发送指示消息，该指示消息可以用于指示智能手表1011未分配虚拟卡号，也可以理解为，该指示消息可以用于请求为该智能手表1011分配虚拟卡号。
手机102通过手机102中的短距离通信模块接收指示消息后，若手机102未开通虚拟SIM卡业务，则手机102的处理器390可以通过触摸屏331输出提示框，该提示框用于提示用户是否注册开通虚拟SIM卡业务。若用户确定注册开通虚拟SIM卡业务，用户对触摸屏331进行操作，通过触摸屏331上显示的提示框输入确认开通虚拟SIM卡业务的信息，则手机102的处理器390可以下载虚拟SIM卡的安装包该虚拟SIM卡为软SIM应用。手机102的处理器390在下载该安装包后，可以运行该安装包，以安装软SIM应用，在安装 后，手机102运行该软SIM应用，并通过该软SIM应用经射频单元310向移动通信运营商提供的服务器申请注册开通虚拟SIM卡业务。例如手机102可以通过该软SIM应用经射频单元310向该服务器发送分配请求消息，该分配请求消息可以用于请求注册开通虚拟SIM卡业务。其中，分配请求消息可以携带手机102的号码A。
手机102在注册开通虚拟SIM卡业务成功后，可以通过手机102中的短距离通信模块向智能手表1011分配虚拟卡号。
其中的一些实施过程，例如手机102如何注册开通虚拟SIM卡业务，以及手机102如何获取虚拟卡号及如何为智能手表1011分配虚拟卡号等内容，都可参考如前的各个实施例。
在如前的各个实施例中，主要介绍了手机102如何获取M个虚拟卡号及如何为第一设备分配虚拟卡号，进一步的，在手机102为M个第一设备分配虚拟卡号后，手机102还可以管理第一设备所拥有的为第一设备所分配的虚拟卡号的使用权限，即第一设备在使用所分配的虚拟卡号的过程中，第一设备所拥有的虚拟卡号的使用权限可以由第二设备来决定。其中，第一设备对虚拟卡号的使用权限，可以包括第一设备能够通过虚拟卡号与其他设备在移动通信运营商提供的网络中进行语音通信的权限，还可以包括第一设备能够通过虚拟卡号与其他设备在移动通信运营商提供的网络中进行视频通信的权限，还可以包括第一设备能够通过虚拟卡号与其他设备在移动通信运营商提供的网络中通过短消息进行通信的权限，当然还可以包括其他可能的权限。
关于手机102如何管理第一设备所拥有的为第一设备所分配的虚拟卡号的使用权限，以一个第一设备是智能手表1011为例来介绍。在一种实施方式中，手机102在为智能手表1011分配虚拟卡号后，可以实时或周期性监控智能手表1011，以确定智能手表1011是否满足更新虚拟用户标识的使用权限的条件，即确定智能手表1011是否满足更新为其分配的虚拟卡号的使用权限的条件，如果智能手表1011满足更新为其分配的虚拟卡号的使用权限的条件，则手机102的处理器390确定满足手机102的一种触发条件，则手机102的 处理器390可以生成触发指令，手机102通过处理器390执行该触发指令可以更新智能手表1011所拥有的为智能手表1011分配的虚拟卡号的使用权限，例如手机102可以令智能手表1011停止使用虚拟卡号的全部功能或者部分功能，或者手机102也可以直接令智能手表1011停止使用该虚拟卡号，可以理解为手机102回收该虚拟卡号。手机102在更新使用权限后，可以向智能手表1011发送通知消息，智能手表1011就可以知晓后续该如何使用虚拟卡号。手机102通过执行触发指令，可以在本地更新虚拟卡号的使用权限，或者也可以通过移动通信运营商提供的服务器修改虚拟卡号的使用权限，以达到更新虚拟卡号的使用权限的目的，即，手机102的处理器390执行触发指令，通过射频单元310向移动通信运营商提供的服务器发送用于请求修改虚拟卡号的使用权限的请求消息，从而通过服务器来修改虚拟卡号的使用权限。
关于手机102管理虚拟卡号的权限，可以理解为，手机102在为第一设备分配虚拟卡号后，还可以负责管理每个虚拟卡号的使用权限，对于任意一个分配了虚拟卡号的第一设备来说，手机102可以控制其所分配的虚拟卡号的使用权限。那么，如果手机102确定一个第一设备满足了更新为其分配的虚拟卡号的使用权限的条件，则手机102就可以更新该第一设备所具有的为该第一设备分配的虚拟卡号的使用权限，更新使用权限也可以有不同的更新方式，比如手机102可以停用该第一设备对该虚拟卡号的全部使用权限，或者手机102也可以停用该第一设备对该虚拟卡号的部分使用权限，或者手机102也可以回收为该第一设备分配的虚拟卡号。
其中，如果手机102停用该第一设备对该虚拟卡号的全部使用权限，或者停用该第一设备对该虚拟卡号的部分使用权限，则虚拟卡号被手机102停掉的使用权限，该第一设备无法再使用，这样可以更好地对虚拟卡号进行管理，使得虚拟卡号可以在第二设备的管理下使用。在这种情况下，例如手机102更新了该第一设备所具有的为该第一设备分配的虚拟卡号的使用权限，那么被手机102停用的权限，该第一设备无法再使用，但虚拟卡号还是归该第一设备所使用，即虚拟卡号还是属于该第一设备，手机102不会将其分配给 其他的第一设备。
其中，如果手机102回收为一个第一设备分配的虚拟卡号，那么可以包括两层含义：手机102令该第一设备停止使用为该第一设备分配的虚拟卡号的全部功能，且手机102可以将该虚拟卡号重新分配给其他的第一设备，此时，视为该第一设备不再拥有该虚拟卡号。
关于一个第一设备是否满足更新为其分配的虚拟卡号的使用权限的条件，可以包括不同的内容，下面还是以第一设备是智能手表1011为例来分别介绍。
1、时长条件。时长条件可以理解为：若已到达通过携带在虚拟SIM卡数据包中的时间信息指示的为智能手表1011分配的虚拟卡号的使用时长的上限，则手机102确定智能手表1011满足更新为其分配的虚拟卡号的使用权限的条件。
手机102在给智能手表1011发送虚拟SIM卡数据包时，在该虚拟SIM卡数据包中可以携带时间信息，该时间信息可以用于指示智能手表1011对该虚拟卡号的使用权限的期限，则智能手表1011根据该时间信息就可以确定对该虚拟卡号的使用权限的期限。例如智能手表1011通过该时间信息可以确定，在该时间信息所指示的时刻到达前，智能手表1011拥有获取的虚拟卡号的全部使用权限。那么，如果手机102根据该时间信息确定已到达为该智能手表1011分配的虚拟卡号的使用时长的上限，则手机102可以确定智能手表1011满足了更新为该智能手表1011分配的虚拟卡号的使用权限的条件。
2、位置条件。位置条件可以理解为：若智能手表1011所在的位置在携带在虚拟SIM卡数据包中的位置信息所指示的位置之间发生变更，则手机102确定智能手表1011满足更新为其分配的虚拟卡号的使用权限的条件。
手机102在给智能手表1011发送虚拟SIM卡数据包时，在该虚拟SIM卡数据包中可以携带位置信息，该位置信息可以指示一些信任地点，该位置信息与虚拟卡号的使用权限相关联，不同的位置信息对应该虚拟卡号的不同的使用权限。例如该位置信息可以用于指示一个位置或多个位置，若该位置 信息用于指示多个位置，则该位置信息所指示的多个位置中不同的位置所对应的虚拟卡号的使用权限可以不同，在该位置信息所指示的多个位置中的部分位置或者全部位置，智能手表1011可以拥有该虚拟卡号的全部使用权限，若该位置信息所指示的部分位置拥有全部使用权限，那么在该位置信息所指示的剩余位置，智能手表1011拥有该虚拟卡号的部分使用权限。对于该位置信息没有指示的位置，智能手表1011可能无法使用该虚拟卡号。则智能手表1011通过该位置信息就可以确定虚拟卡号的使用权限，若智能手表1011的位置在该位置信息所指示的位置之间发生了变更，如从该位置信息所指示的其中一个位置移动到了该位置信息所指示的另一个位置，那么手机102可以确定智能手表1011满足更新为其分配的虚拟卡号的使用权限的条件，当然，智能手表1011要满足更新为其分配的虚拟卡号的使用权限的条件，还需要其变更前后的位置对应虚拟卡号的不同的使用权限。另外，因为除了该位置信息所指示的位置之外，智能手表1011还可能移动到其他一些该位置信息未指示的位置，无论智能手表1011移动到哪里，只要智能手表1011移动前后的位置对应于虚拟卡号的不同使用权限，则手机102就可以确定智能手表1011满足更新为其分配的虚拟卡号的使用权限的条件。
例如，携带在虚拟SIM卡数据包中的位置信息共指示三个位置，分别为位置1、位置2和位置3，规定如下：若智能手表1011位于其中的位置1，则智能手表1011拥有该虚拟卡号的全部使用权限，该智能手表1011的全部使用权限包括权限1、权限2和权限3，若智能手表1011位于其中的位置2，则智能手表1011拥有该虚拟卡号的部分使用权限，这部分使用权限包括权限1和权限2，若智能手表1011位于其中的位置3，则智能手表1011拥有该虚拟卡号的部分使用权限，这部分使用权限包括权限3，若智能手表1011所在的位置是位置4，即不是该位置信息所指示的位置，则智能手表1011无法使用该虚拟卡号，即不再拥有该虚拟卡号的全部使用权限。则智能手表1011根据该智能手表1011所在的位置以及该位置信息就可以确定该虚拟卡号的使用权限，同样的，手机102根据该智能手表1011所在的位置以及该位置信息也可 以确定该虚拟卡号的使用权限。那么，如果手机102确定智能手表1011当前所在的位置发生了改变，这里的改变包括智能手表1011从该位置信息所指示的位置移动到了该位置信息未指示的位置，或智能手表1011从该位置信息未指示的位置移动到了该位置信息指示的任意位置，或智能手表1011从该位置信息所指示的其中一个位置移动到了该位置信息所指示的另外一个位置，只要智能手表1011移动前后的位置对应于虚拟卡号的不同使用权限，手机102就可以确定智能手表1011满足更新为该智能手表1011分配的虚拟卡号的使用权限的条件。其中，智能手表1011可以主动将自己所在的位置发送给手机102，或者手机也可以主动请求获得智能手表1011当前所在的位置，等等。
在位置条件下，若智能手表1011从该位置信息所指示的位置移动到了该位置信息未指示的位置，则手机102可以更新智能手表1011对于虚拟卡号的使用权限，更新后智能手表1011无法使用该虚拟卡号，即这里的手机102修改智能手表1011对于虚拟卡号的使用权限，可能是手机回收了分配给该智能手表1011的虚拟卡号。在此之后，智能手表1011又发生了移动，如果又从该位置信息未指示的位置移动到了该位置信息所指示的任意位置，那么手机102也可以根据智能手表1011当前所在的位置所对应的使用权限更新智能手表1011对于虚拟卡号的使用权限，更新之后该智能手表1011可以重新获得虚拟卡号的全部使用权限或部分使用权限。另外，因之前手机102已回收了分配给该智能手表1011的虚拟卡号，因此手机102再次更新使用权限时，可以先为智能手表1011分配虚拟卡号，可以将之前回收的虚拟卡号重新分配给该智能手表1011，或者也可以为该智能手表1011重新分配新的虚拟卡号。
3、短距离通信连接条件。短距离通信连接条件可以理解为：若手机102确定与智能手表1011之间的短距离通信连接断开，则手机102可以确定智能手表1011满足更新为该智能手表1011分配的虚拟卡号的使用权限的条件。
在短距离通信连接条件下，手机102与智能手表1011的短距离通信连接断开可以包括不同的情形。例如手机102与智能手表1011之间的距离大于短距离通信协议能够支持的距离时，手机102和智能手表1011可能断开连接， 此时手机102可能还保存了与智能手表1011的配对信息，但两个设备之间的连接断开了。或者例如，手机102主动取消了与智能手表1011之间的短距离通信连接，或者智能手表1011主动取消了与手机102之间的短距离通信连接，那么，无论两个设备之间的距离是大于短距离通信协议能够支持的距离还是小于等于短距离通信协议能够支持的距离，两个设备之间的连接都会断开，在这种情况下，手机102可能还保存了与智能手表1011的配对信息，或手机102也可能直接取消了与智能手表1011的配对信息。
在短距离通信连接条件下，在手机102更新智能手表1011对于虚拟卡号的使用权限后，如果智能手表1011发生了移动，在移动之后手机102确定智能手表1011与手机102之间的短距离通信连接恢复，或者智能手表1011和手机102之间又重新建立了短距离通信连接，那么手机102可以再次更新智能手表1011对于虚拟卡号的使用权限，例如可以重新令智能手表1011拥有该虚拟卡号的全部使用权限，或者如果之前是停用了智能手表1011对于该虚拟卡号的全部使用权限，那么此时也可以令智能手表1011恢复使用该虚拟卡号的部分使用权限，或者如果之前是回收了智能手表1011的虚拟卡号，则此时也可以重新将虚拟卡号分配给该智能手表1011，等等。
其中，对于以上三种条件，手机102可以选择任意一种来使用，或者也可以选择其中的任意两种来使用，比如手机102可以同时使用时长条件和位置条件，手机102可以将时间信息和位置信息均携带在虚拟SIM卡数据包中发送给智能手表1011，则手机102既可以通过时间信息判断智能手表1011是否满足更新为该智能手表1011分配的虚拟卡号的使用权限的条件，也可以通过位置信息判断智能手表1011是否满足更新为该智能手表1011分配的虚拟卡号的使用权限的条件。或者手机102也可以三种条件均使用。
下面通过几个实施例来介绍手机102如何管理虚拟卡号的使用权限。
本发明一实施例提供一种手机102管理所分配的虚拟卡号的方法实施例，在本发明实施例中，侧重于介绍手机102根据如前所述的时长条件管理所分配的虚拟卡号。本发明实施例中，作为第一设备的智能手表1011已经接收了 手机102分配的虚拟卡号，且可以通过该虚拟卡号在移动通信运营商提供的网络中进行通信。
首先，手机102通过手机102中的短距离通信模块向智能手表1011发送虚拟SIM卡数据包，以为智能手表1011分配虚拟卡号，手机102在该虚拟SIM卡数据包中还携带了时间信息，该时间信息所指示的时长为预设时长，即，手机102为智能手表1011规定了智能手表1011对该虚拟卡号的使用时长。那么智能手表1011在通过智能手表1011中的短距离通信模块接收虚拟SIM卡数据包后，可以根据该时间信息确定，在该时间信息所规定的预设时长未到达前，智能手表1011拥有该虚拟卡号的全部使用权限。该时间信息所规定的预设时长的起始时刻，可以是手机102向智能手表1011发送该虚拟SIM卡数据包的时刻。
在手机102向智能手表1011发送虚拟SIM卡数据包之后的任意时刻，手机102的处理器390确定当前的时刻，并确定从向智能手表1011发送虚拟卡号开始至当前的时长是否已大于或等于预设时长。若手机102确定从向智能手表1011发送虚拟卡号开始至当前的时长已大于或等于预设时长，则手机102确定智能手表1011满足更新为其分配的虚拟卡号的使用权限，则手机102更新智能手表1011所拥有的对于该虚拟卡号的使用权限，在本发明实施例中，手机102选择停用该智能手表1011对该虚拟卡号的全部使用权限。
其中，本发明实施例中，手机102更新智能手表1011所拥有的对于该虚拟卡号的使用权限，可以通过以下方式实现：手机102修改本地数据，以更新智能手表1011所拥有的对于该虚拟卡号的使用权限。手机102在存储器320中例如存储了第一设备与为第一设备分配的虚拟卡号之间的对应关系，且在该对应关系中还包括为每个第一设备分配的虚拟卡号的使用权限，则手机102可以修改存储的智能手表1011的虚拟卡号的使用权限，这样就更新了为该智能手表1011分配的虚拟卡号的使用权限。
由于本发明实施例中手机102更新使用权限的方式只是修改了本地的数据，没有更改网络数据，智能手表1011如果继续按照原来的使用权限使用该 虚拟卡号，在网络中也是可以实现的，因此手机102需要通知智能手表1011，以避免智能手表1011继续按照原来的使用权限使用虚拟卡号。在本发明实施例中，手机102在更新智能手表1011所拥有的对于该虚拟卡号的使用权限后，可以通过手机102中的短距离通信模块向智能手表1011发送通知消息，该通知消息用于指示智能手表1011不再具有该虚拟卡号的所有使用权限。
智能手表1011通过智能手表1011中的短距离通信模块接收该通知消息后，就可以停用该虚拟卡号的全部功能，相当于停止使用该虚拟卡号。但该虚拟卡号还是分配给该智能手表1011的，虽然智能手表1011可能暂时不会使用该虚拟卡号，但手机102可以不将该虚拟卡号分配给其他的第一设备。
另外，手机102已经将时间信息携带在虚拟SIM卡数据包中发送给智能手表1011，因此除了手机102可以确定是否已到达预设时长的上限之外，智能手表1011也可以确定是否已到达预设时长的上限。因此，作为手机102因为时长条件更新虚拟卡号的使用权限后需要通知智能手表1011的方案的替换方案，手机102和智能手表1011可以事先协商因为满足时长条件而对于虚拟卡号的使用权限的更新方式，即手机102和智能手表1011可以事先协商手机102因为时长条件会如何更新虚拟卡号的使用权限，在这种情况下，如果手机102因为时长条件而更新智能手表1011对于虚拟卡号的使用权限，也可以无需通知智能手表1011，智能手表1011在确定该智能手表1011满足时长条件时，就可以确定虚拟卡号的使用权限已被更新。
本发明一实施例提供一种手机102管理所分配的虚拟卡号的方法实施例。在本发明实施例中，侧重于介绍手机102根据如前所述的位置条件管理所分配的虚拟卡号。本发明实施例中，作为第一设备的智能手表1011已经接收了手机102分配的虚拟卡号，且可以通过射频单元210以该虚拟卡号在移动通信运营商提供的网络中进行通信。
首先，手机102通过手机102中的短距离通信模块向智能手表1011发送虚拟SIM卡数据包，以为智能手表1011分配虚拟卡号，手机102在该虚拟SIM卡数据包中还携带了位置信息，携带在虚拟SIM卡数据包中的位置信息 可以指示一个位置或者多个位置，该位置信息所指示的位置与虚拟卡号的使用权限相关联，该位置信息所指示的不同的位置对应该虚拟卡号的不同的使用权限。智能手表1011通过智能手表1011中的短距离通信模块虚拟SIM卡数据包后，智能手表1011根据该位置信息就可以确定智能手表1011对于所分配的虚拟卡号的使用权限。
在本发明实施例中，该位置信息共指示2个位置，分别为位置1和位置2。可以预先设置：若智能手表1011位于其中的位置1，则智能手表1011拥有该虚拟卡号的全部使用权限，该虚拟卡号的全部使用权限包括权限1和权限2，若智能手表1011位于其中的位置2，则智能手表1011拥有该虚拟卡号的部分使用权限，这部分使用权限包括权限1。若智能手表1011所在的位置不是位置1也不是位置2，即不是该位置信息所指示的位置，则智能手表1011无法使用该虚拟卡号，即不再拥有该虚拟卡号的全部使用权限。
在手机102向智能手表1011发送虚拟SIM卡数据包之后的任意时刻，手机102接收智能手表1011发送的位置信息，智能手表1011发送的位置信息用于指示智能手表1011当前所在的位置。或者，手机102也可以通过向智能手表1011发送请求来获得智能手表1011发送的位置信息。
若手机102根据智能手表1011发送的位置信息确定智能手表1011当前所在的位置为位置2，相对于智能手表1011之前所在的位置1来说发生了变更，则手机102确定智能手表1011满足更新为其分配的虚拟卡号的使用权限，则手机102更新智能手表1011所拥有的对于该虚拟卡号的使用权限。在本发明实施例中，手机102停用智能手表1011所拥有的权限2。
同理，本发明实施例中，手机102更新智能手表1011所拥有的对于该虚拟卡号的使用权限，也可以通过修改本地数据来实现，这部分内容可参考上一实施例的介绍。
由于本发明实施例中手机102更新使用权限的方式也只是修改了本地的数据，没有更改网络数据，因此手机102需要通知智能手表1011，以避免智能手表1011继续按照原来的使用权限使用虚拟卡号。在本发明实施例中，手 机102在更新智能手表1011所拥有的对于该虚拟卡号的使用权限后，可以通过手机102中的短距离通信模块向智能手表1011发送通知消息，该通知消息用于指示智能手表1011不再具有该虚拟卡号的部分使用权限，以及还可以指示被停用的使用权限是权限2。
智能手表1011通过智能手表1011中的短距离通信模块接收该通知消息后，就可以停用该虚拟卡号的权限2对应的功能。
另外，作为手机102因为位置条件更新虚拟卡号的使用权限后需要通知智能手表1011的方案的替换方案，手机102和智能手表1011可以事先协商因为满足位置条件而对于虚拟卡号的使用权限的更新方式，即手机102和智能手表1011可以事先协商手机102因为位置条件会如何更新虚拟卡号的使用权限，在这种情况下，如果手机102因为位置条件而更新智能手表1011对于虚拟卡号的使用权限，也可以无需通知智能手表1011，智能手表1011在确定该智能手表1011满足时长条件时，就可以确定虚拟卡号的使用权限已被更新。
本发明一实施例提供一种手机102管理所分配的虚拟卡号的方法实施例，在本发明实施例中，侧重于介绍手机102根据如前所述的短距离通信连接条件管理所分配的虚拟卡号。本发明实施例中，作为第一设备的智能手表1011已经接收了手机102分配的虚拟卡号，且可以通过该虚拟卡号在移动通信运营商提供的网络中进行通信。
在手机102为智能手表1011分配虚拟卡号后，手机102的短距离通信模块确定与智能手表1011之间的短距离通信连接断开。例如手机102或智能手表1011发生了移动，在移动之后手机102与智能手表1011之间的距离增大，超出了短距离通信协议所支持的通信距离，因此手机102和智能手表1011之间的短距离通信连接断开。
因为与智能手表1011之间的短距离通信连接断开，不便于控制智能手表1011对于虚拟卡号的使用，因此手机102确定智能手表1011满足更新为其分配的虚拟卡号的使用权限，则手机102更新智能手表1011所拥有的对于该虚拟卡号的使用权限。在本发明实施例中，手机102更新智能手表1011所拥有 的对于该虚拟卡号的使用权限，通过以下方式实现：手机102的处理器390在确定智能手表1011满足更新为其分配的虚拟卡号的使用权限后，生成触发指令，处理器390执行该触发指令，以通过射频单元310向移动通信运营商提供的服务器发送用于请求修改虚拟卡号的使用权限的请求消息，服务器接收该请求消息后，可以在网络侧修改该虚拟卡号的使用权限，即修改网络数据，从而达到更新该虚拟卡号的使用权限的条件。
在本发明实施例中，手机102选择回收为该智能手表1011分配的虚拟卡号。因为直接修改的是网络数据，因此在修改网络数据之后，智能手表1011直接无法再使用该虚拟卡号，因此手机102也无需再另外通知智能手表1011。
另外，在本发明实施例中，手机102是选择回收为该智能手表1011分配的虚拟卡号，在这种情况下，手机102可以选择将回收的该虚拟卡号分配给其他的第一设备。
手机102在回收为该智能手表1011分配的虚拟卡号后，手机102的短距离通信模块确定手机102与智能手表1011之间的短距离通信连接恢复。例如智能手表1011或手机102发生了移动，在移动之后，智能手表1011和手机102之间的距离缩短，重新达到了短距离通信协议对于距离的要求，且智能手表1011和手机102中均保留了对方的名称等连接信息，因此，在距离重新达到要求后，手机102和智能手表1011之间的短距离通信连接可自动恢复。
此时，手机102确定智能手表1011又满足更新为其分配的虚拟卡号的使用权限，则手机102再次更新智能手表1011所拥有的对于该虚拟卡号的使用权限。因为之前手机102选择了回收为该智能手表1011分配的虚拟卡号，那么手机102再次更新智能手表1011所拥有的对于该虚拟卡号的使用权限，可以是再次为该智能手表1011分配虚拟卡号，其中，如果之前回收的该智能手表1011的虚拟卡号还未分配给其他的第一设备，则手机102可以选择将该虚拟卡号重新分配给该智能手表1011，如果之前回收的该智能手表1011的虚拟卡号已分配给其他的第一设备，则手机102可以为该智能手表1011重新分配其他的虚拟卡号，或者，即使之前回收的该智能手表1011的虚拟卡号还未分 配给其他的第一设备，手机102也可以为该智能手表1011重新分配其他的虚拟卡号。关于手机102再次更新智能手表1011所拥有的对于该虚拟卡号的使用权限的方式，依然可以通过服务器修改网络数据来实现，不多赘述。
