Abstract

在eSIM技术的背景下,一个eSIM芯片中可以被配置为多个移动运营商提供的Profile,Profile可以理解为运营商为用户提供服务的软件。其中,每一个Profile都有自己的文件结构和应用程序,但是受限于每一个Profile中的应用程序AID不唯一,在多个Profile下会造成冲突。通过增加逻辑通道channel的方式,以及增加逻辑通道管理模块LCHMM管理channel,将channel与profile关联,以保证访问时不出现冲突。同时也可以在现有标准中,通过时分切换或者优先级等待等方法实现通过单个channel访问多个Profile。

嵌入式SIM卡的数据访问的方法和设备
本申请要求于2017年12月18日提交中国专利局、申请号为201711365480.1、发明名称为“嵌入式SIM卡的数据访问的方法和设备”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本发明实施例涉及通信领域,尤其涉及一种基于嵌入式ESIM(embeded Subscriber Identity Module)的多卡多待的方法。
背景技术
在传统技术中,用户终端UE(User Equipment)通常装载有通用的集成电路卡UICC(Universal Integrated Circuit Card),以提供对无线网络的访问服务。UICC通常采用被插入到UE中,例如采用SIM(Subscriber Identity Module)卡的形式。在大多数情况下,每一个UICC与控制该UICC的编程的发行方相关联,例如,移动网络运行商。
常见的做法是将SIM卡安装在物理芯片或者卡上,物理芯片或卡可以与UE分开提供,因此,用户为了获得UE以及用于该UE的服务,用户可能需要获得UE,例如,从无线设备供应商,并且需要单独获得SIM卡(例如,从服务提供商),并且将该SIM卡安装在UE中,最后还需要进行多个与服务提供商之间的交互步骤,非常繁琐。同时,如果用户需要两个手机号码,则必须获得两个UE和两个SIM卡,或者获得具有双卡双待的UE以及两个SIM卡,而且还要考虑到不同UE所支持的不同服务提供商的服务,使用户的成本以及体验效果很差。
尽管eSIM提供了优于传统可移除的eSIM的许多有益效果,但是实施eSIM存在有关eSIM内容如何由移动设备访问的新的挑战。例如,MNO彼此共享许多相同的属性,并且因此eSIM可通常包括共享相同应用程序标识符(AID)的应用程序。因此,其eSIM包括共享性的两个或更多个Profile的移动设备可不能够成功地选择并访问该两个或更多个Profile中的特定一个eSIM的应用程序。更具体地,因为AID单独不能唯一地识别包括应用程序的特定eSIM的应用程序。因此,存在启用移动设备的需要。具体地,被包括在移动设备中的处理器可访问特定eSIM内容,诸如多个Profile环境中的特定eSIM的应用程序。

应当注意的是尽管我们经常会把UICC和SIM这两个术语互换,其实UICC是指物理卡,而SIM是指UICC卡上存储GSM用户签约信息的一个应用。SIM广泛应用于GSM系统中。在一些实施例中,USIM的物理实体就是UICC,USIM实际上是建立在UICC上的一种主要用于终端用户身份识别的应用。为方便理解,本申请统一用eSIM卡表述。
Profile:又称“配置文件”,本申请中的Profile是指用于eUICC上的各种数据和应用的集合,以提供各种服务,例如语音业务或者数据业务。根据一些实施例,Profile由用户与相关的移动运营商进行签约或者订阅,以已提供用户网络服务。根据一些实施例,Profile中可以包括系统文件,例如,MF,EF,DF;应用程序,例如,网络接入应用程序NAA、安全域名Security Domain以及其他非通信服务;以及Profile元数据,例如,配置文件政策规定Profile Policy Rules;以及移动网络运营商的安全域名Mobile Network Operator-SD,例如提供OTA服务。

图3根据本发明一种可能的实施方式提供的用户选择激活手机号码的界面100。
如图3所示,提供一种用户选择手机号码的界面100。用户可以同时选择两个手机号码,例如选择号码3和选择号码4,在一些实施例中,可以理解为激活或配置两个手机号码。一个Profile可以对应一个MNO的电话号码,可以理解为用户选择了Profile 3和Profile4,即选择了香港移动与香港电讯的手机号码。值得说明的是,此处的选择可以理解第一次激活或者再次激活、或者配置各种访问数据的环境或者读取数据等。本申请中的profile编号仅为示例,也可以从0开始编号,如profile-0。
在一些实施例中,每一个eSIM可以下载或者存储多个Profile,例如可以通过和不同的MMO进行签约或者同一个MMO签约多个Profile,即可以提供多个MMO的多个号码供用户进行选择,每一个Profile都有自身的文件结构和应用程序,且具有唯一的身份标识ID,例如ISD P-AID。每一应用程序也具有自身的身份标识,例如AID,在同一个Profile中的应用程序AID是唯一的。
在一些实施例中,根据用户选择的电话号码,可以激活对应的profile。在一些实施例中,用户可以选择多个电话号码,相应地,可以激活对应的多个profile。
在一些实施例中,选择界面也可以提供注销手机号码的功能,例如,与运营商的签约到期。在一些实施例中,手机号码注销后,对应的profile解除对应关系。在一些实施例中,用户选择注销操作后,eSIM中的profile也可以删除。
值得说明的是,当用户下载Profile到eSIM中,用户可以读取或者UE自动获取到eSIM中的Profile列表信息,可以显示为手机号码信息,如图3所示。在一些实施例中,也可以读取到eSIM卡上现有的profile列表以及激活状态,例如,通过函数GetProfile Info(),可以参照标准GSMA RSP Technical Specification Version 2中的3.2.4。在一些实施例中,可以将读取到的Profile列表显示给用户。
在一些实施例中,访问应用程序之前,可以确认当前Profile的活动状态,例如是处于激活状态还是去激活状态。在一些实施例中,如果当前Profile处于激活状态,则可以返回激活状态至UE或者Modem。在一些实施例中,如果当前Profile处于去激活状态,则激活当前Profile,并可以返回激活状态至UE或者Modem。
图4A为根据本发明一种可能的实施方式提供的具有eSIM的移动终端的第一内部结构示意图。
如图4A所述,在一些实施例中,UE可以配置一个eSIM芯片。在一些实施例中,eSIM芯片中可以支持并激活多个Profile,例如,最大支持Profile的数目可以由发卡商或者运营商决定。
在一些实施中,可以分配多个逻辑通道channel用于通信,例如激活、初始化或者访问Profile,可以实现多个Profile可使用多个channel在eSIM上被同时激活、访问。
eSIM管理模块可以是eSIM操作系统OS或者应用程序,也可以是由硬件实现,用于对eSIM卡进行激活、访问管理等。例如请求激活Profile-1时,eSIM接收到激活请求时,可以先打开channel-1(channel-1也可以默认处于打开状态),用于接收激活profile-1的指令,该指令中可以携带Profile的身份标识ISD P-AID。激活Profile-2的流程也可以相同。
如图4B所述,在一些实施例中,eSIM管理模块可以存储Profile与逻辑通道channel的映射关系,例如可以是图4B所示的映射关系表。eSIM管理模块也可以存储Profile的身份标识ISD P-AID与channel编号的映射关系。在一些实施例中,当eSIM接收到访问应用程序的AID 是来自channel-1,则通过存储的Profile与逻辑通道channel的映射关系,自动将信号传输给Profile-1或者识别出该请求用于访问Profile-1中的某一应用程序。在一些实施例中,激活Profile时也可以携带Profile的身份标识AID。
在一些实施例中,逻辑通道管理模块LCHMM也可以存储有如图4B所示的映射关系表,例如,当请求激活Profile-2时,请求命令中携带有Profile-2的身份标识ISD P-AID,当LCHMM接收到携带有Profile-2的身份标识ISD P-AID的激活请求后,根据profile与channel的映射关系,LCHMM分配对应的channel用于发送激活命令,例如分配channel-2。
值得注意的是,在一些实施中,eSIM也可以通过记录分配的channel编号与Profile之间的激活关系,建立channel编号与Profile之间的关系,用于识别访问的应用程序AID属于哪一个Profile。
本实施例提供的方法,通过在单eSIM芯片中同时激活多个Profile,从而实现单eSIM芯片支持多卡多待的功能,降低多卡多待终端的硬件成本,并且能够避免不同的Profile中的应用程序AID可能相同造成的访问冲突。
图5示出了用于图4A中的eSIM应用程序文件结构图。文件标识符(AID)被用于寻址或识别特定文件。被包括在图5中的文件类型包括:
专用文件(DF):包含访问条件的文件,以及任选地,基本文件(EF)或者其他专用文件(DF)。
应用程序专用文件(ADF):指向应用程序的条目。具体地,应用程序DF(ADF)是包含应用程序的所有DF和EF的特定DF。
基本文件(EF):在生产SM卡时,有效IMSI值必须默认存在于SIM中的IMSI的基本文件(EF IMSI)中。
主文件(MF)。
应用程序由AID唯一识别,并从EF DIR获取。AID被用于选择应用程序。EF DIR、EF PL和EF ICCID可为强制性的并且可直接驻留在MF下。DF TELECOM可为任选的,并且如果存在的话,其驻留在MF下。DF TELECOM可包含应用程序无关的信息。
如前所述,可以通过修改或者扩展当前的eSIM卡内文件组织结构可以支撑Profile的区分,实现文件系统MF下挂接多个ADF,即实现可以同时存在两个或者多个激活状态的Profile。
图6根据本发明一种可能的实施方式通过逻辑通道管理模块LCHMM(Logic Channel Management Module)管理逻辑通道channel的示意图。
在一些实施例中,eSIM同时激活两个Profile可以先确认eSIM当前可以支持同时激活的Profile数目。在一些实施例中,确认当前可以支持同时激活的Profile数目可以通过Modem与eSIM进行协商的方式。具体地,可以通过如下方法实现:
方法一:在一些实施例中,传统的SIM卡作为从设备只有在两种情况下产生应答信号:收到RST(reset)信号后发送ATR(Answer To Reset)、接到UE或控制模块的指令后应答。在一些实施例中,传统的SIM卡初始化时,当SIM卡接受到RST信号后,向UE发出ATR指令。
在一些实施例中,eSIM初始化时也可以向UE发送ATR指令,例如,可以用过ISO7816或者ISO7916-4中的8.1.1.2.5的描述规定的ATR协议来完成。在一些实施例中,运营商或者发卡方可以在ATR指令中添加发卡方或者运营商的数据(Card Issuer’s Data),例如,可以添加eSIM同时支持激活的Profile数目、数目标识或者保存Profile数目信息的文件标识的等信息。在一些实施中,也可以在ATR指令中添加一些身份标识信息,例如,发卡芯片商信息、发卡商信息等。在一些实施例中,eSIM卡主动上报eSIM芯片支持的Profile能力信息,例如,通过发送ATR指令。在一些实施例中,当modem接收到来自eSIM卡的ATR应答信号,则表明SIM不存在或者传输通道有问题。在一些实施例中,当modem接收到来自eSIM卡的ATR应答信号,其中包含发卡方或者运营商的数据(Card Issuer’s Data),例如,可以添加eSIM同时支持激活的Profile数目、数目标识或者保存Profile数目信息的文件标识的等信息,则modem可以知道esim卡所支持的最大Profile数目等信息。
在一些实施例中,ATR的格式一般为:TST0TA1TB1TC1TD1TA2…TDiT1T2T3…TkTck,其中T1T2…Tk标识历史字符,是可选字段,包含卡生厂商相关信息,可以在卡生厂商相关信息或者ATR中其他字段进行扩展,携带同时激活的信息即可。
方法二:EF文件中SIM卡内存储实际应用数据的基本文件,由共享同一文件标识符的数据单元或记录集合组成,可以在任一文件层次下且不可为其他文件的上级文件。在一些实施例中,可以通过定义专有文件EF EPro的方式,例如,通过该文件来保存eSIM芯片支持同时激活Profile的能力,在初始化卡时,直接读取EF EPro中的信息。
方法三:在一些实施例中,可以在UE启动后,Modem发送APDU(Application Protocol Data Unit)查询指令,eSIM通过对APDU指令的响应来反馈当前支持的可同时激活的Profile数目,数目标识或者保存Profile数目标识的文件标识。Modem获取并保存相关信息。
具体地,APDU查询指令举例:
Command APDU
CLA 00:标识USIM应用
INS A5:标识获取同时支持激活Profile数目的指令
P1 00:当前暂不扩展
P2 01:Return FCP
Lc 04:指令数据长度
Response:
Data XX:返回的FCP数据,即支持同时激活的Profile能力,或者标识Profile能力的文件ID,或者数目标识,例如0标识1个,1标识4个,2标识8个等等。
SW1 90
SW2 00:指令执行成功标识
方法四在一些实施例中,也可以通过与发卡方或者运行上签约,直接按照定制要求在Modem侧固定eSIM可以支持同时激活的Profile数目等信息。
在一些实施例中,eSIM需要激活一个Profile时,可以先分配一个channel。在一些实施例中,channel的分配可以有两种方式,一种是由eSIM卡来分配,一种是由接口设备来分配。在一些实施例中,对于同时支持两个Profile激活,可以将已经打开的channel管理起来,例如,Profile-0对应Channel-0,Profile-n对应的channel-n。具体地,有如下方法进行分配:
方法1:打开channel后,将打开的Channel-n与Profile-n对应起来,例如:打开新的channel-1,然后将channel-1与Profile-1管理起来。以便下次访问对应的Profile时可以通过channel来识别。
方法2:将前N个channel作为预留channel,对于由eSIM卡来分配channel资源的场景,则开机后先将预留的channel全部打开,用于后续新的Profile激活;对于由接口设备来分配channel资源的场景,则在打开时将预留的channel号跳过,在需要激活新的Profile时再打开预留的channel;
方法3:将channel号进行分组管理,例如,第一组用于Profile-1,第二组用于Profile-2,第n组用于Profile-n,在使用时,每个profile只能打开本组对应的channel。该方法对于由eSIM卡分配channel的场景,也可以由EUM来实现分组管理;
本实施例提供一种逻辑通道管理LCHMM(Logic Channel Management Module),用于对当前的逻辑通道channel进行管理,可以通过如图4B的默认映射关系识别应用程序AID。
具体的访问流程如图6所示:
Step1.1:通过ATR指令,获取当前eSIM芯片的Channel数目。在一些实施例中,也可以获取到eSIM所支持的最大激活Profile数目。
LCHMM将所有channel号加入资源池,并设置为未激活状态;在一些实施例中,eSIM卡中可支持的channel数可以由发卡商决定;在一些实施例,可以通过多种方法获取到eSIM卡携带的channel数,例如,通过APDU指令、定义EF专业文件、发卡商公开逻辑通道数等;
Step1.2:用户或者LPA请求发出获取Profile列表,可以获取到当前eSIM中的Profile信息,例如eSIM发送Profile列表至LAPd或者UE、Modem,列表可以显示电话号码、激活状态、运营商信息等,如图3所示;
Step1.3:用户选择或UE(LPAd)请求激活Profile,例如请求激活Profile-1;在一些实施例中,请求激活指令中可以携带有Profile的身份标识ISD P-AID。
LCHMM接收到指令后,LCHMM分配channe-l,并通过该channel-1发送激活指令给eSIM卡,例如通过channel选择对应Profile的ISD P-AID,完成Profile激活。
在一些实施例中,Channel-1可以作为Profile-1的基础通信逻辑信道,按照协议描述无需打开,默认可以使用;
Step1.4:LCHMM分配channel-1发送激活指令。通过channel-1发送请求,eSIM选择Profile-1,例如通过Profile-1的身份标识ISD P-AID,可以理解为eSIM根据表4B中的映射关系,当接收到channel-1的请求,选择对应的Profile-1;
Step1.5:eSIM向LCHMM返回激活结果,其中,返回内容也可以包括Profile-1的ISD P-AID。LCHMM将Channel-1标记为已使用,Channel池数目减1;
Step1.6:LCHMM反馈激活结果至UE或者Modem;
Step1.7:UE或者Modem请求下发访问Profile-1中的应用程序,该指令中携带有应用程序的身份标识AID;在一些实施例中,访问Profile-1中的应用程序的指令也可以是在步骤Step1.3中。
Step1.8:LCHMM通过channel-1发送请求访问,请求中可以携带有应用程序的AID,检测到来自channel-1的访问请求,eSIM选择channel-1中的应用程序,例如通过应用程序的AID,eSIM根据图4B所示的Profile与channel之间的关联或者映射关系,识别来自channel-1中的AID是访问Profile-1中的;
Step1.9:eSIM返回访问结果至UE或者Modem,例如发送应用程序的数据、文件。
Step1.10:用户选择或UE(LPAd)请求激活Profile,例如请求激活Profile-2。在一些实施例中,激活请求中可以携带Profile-2的身份标识ISD P-AID;
Step1.11:LCHMM接收到请求后,LCHMM需要分配新的channel,以完成新channel的打开动作。通过Channel-1,发送打开Channel-2的指令至eSIM。
eSIM打开新的channel,例如channel-2;
Step1.12:返回打开channel的结果至LCHMM。
LCHMM将Channel-2设置为Open,通过channel-2发送激活指令给eSIM。在一些实施例中,LCHMM也可以记录Channel-2与Profile-2的映射关系;
Step1.13:LCHMM发送激活指令给eSIM芯片,完成Profile-2的选择。
Step1.14-Step1.18:访问流程可以参考访问Profile-1。
Step1.19--Step1.24:可以扩展到多个Profile。在一些实施例中,如果Modem-1有新的业务(比特交错奇偶检验,Bit Interleaved Parity(BIP),SIM卡应用工具包SIM application toolkit(STK)等)需要打开新的channel,发送open请求给LCHMM;
通过以上过程,根据默认的通道编号与Profile之间的映射关系来选择访问的AID程序,能够避免在多个Profile情况下的应用程序AID冲突问题。
本实施例提供一种逻辑通道管理LCHMM(Logic Channel Management Module),用于对当前的逻辑通道channel进行管理,通过建立channel与Profile之间的映射关系,能够避免在多个Profile情况下的应用程序AID冲突问题。
如图7所示,其基本流程与图6相同:
在Step2.2中:请求激活Profile-1中的请求可以携带身份标识ISD P-AID;
在Step2.5中:LCHMM将Channel-1标记为已使用,Channel池数目减1,同时返回Channel Number给对应的Modem-1。在一些实施例中,LCHMM也可以将Profile-1的ISD P-AID发送至 Modem-1。本步骤中是将channel-1发送至Modem-1,下次访问Profile-1时,Modem-1可以通过channel-1访问,例如,请求访问Profile-1中的某一应用程序时,可以携带有channel-1的编号,当LCHMM收到访问命令后,直接根据请求命令中channel-1的编号分配channel-1用于发送访问命令。在此种场景下,访问请求中可以不携带携带Profile的身份标识,在上述场景下,LCHMM中也存储有如图4B所述的Profile与channel的映射关系表。在一些实施例中,LCHMM也可以不用返回channel-1至Modem-1,例如,当LCHMM接收到来自Modem-1的访问请求时,LCHMM将channel-1打开(此时LCHMM记录了Modem-1与channel-1的映射关系),通过channel-1发送访问请求,当eSIM检测到来自channel-1的访问请求,则认为该请求时访问Profile-1;
通过以上过程,每个Modem需要发送请求时,例如激活请求,需要打开新的channel,并且channel与eSIM中对应的profile绑定在一起或者建立映射关系。Profile首次选择需要先激活,后续UE重启过程,直接使用映射关系,各Modem进行Profile AID的选择即可。每个Modem使用哪个channel,可以由LCHMM自由分配,一旦分配后就可以直接访问,或者Modem通过记录了对应的channel号去访问。
在一些实施中,激活了对应的Profile文件后,就可以访问对应Profile的应用程序,例如通过READ binary指令。
图8为根据本发明的一种可能的实施方式提供激活profile的系统框架图。
在一些实施例中,可以读取到eSIM卡上现有的profile列表以及激活状态,例如,通过函数GetProfile Info(),可以参照标准GSMA RSP Technical Specification Version 2.2。在一些实施例中,可以将读取到的Profile列表显示给用户。在一些实施例中,eSIM上可以支持下载或者存储多个Profile。在一些实施例中,获取Profile列表的方法可以参照GSMA RSP Technical Specification Version 2.2中的3.2.4。
在一些实施例中,用户可以选择需要激活的Profile,例如可以通过接口ESeu。在一些实施例中,LPAd也可以自动选择需要激活的Profile,不需要与用户进行交互。在一些实施例中,LUId向LPA service发出激活请求,请求可以包括对应Profile的ISD-P AID、ICCID,以及refreshFlag等参数中的一项或者多项。
在一些实施例中,LPA service发送激活请求至Modem。在一些实施例中,Modem收到请求后,返回激活结果至LUId。在一些实施例中,Modem可以是逻辑模块,例如配置在LPAd或者eSIM芯片、基带芯片中,也可以硬件模块,例如集成在基带芯片中。
图9为根据本发明一种可能的实施方式提供的基于eSIM卡激活双Profile的方法的系统结构图。
在一些实施例中,Modem的功能可以在LPAd中实现,或者由eSIM管理模块、基带芯片来实现,如图8所示。Profile-1和Profile-2可以由不同的运营商提供,且Profile-1与Profile-2中具有相同的AID相同的应用程序文件,例如,该应用程序AID为编号为1。
当Modem-1接收到来自UE或者LPAd的激活指令时,例如激活Profile-1,Modem-1向eSIM发送激活请求,eSIM接收到请求后,可以先打开一个逻辑通道channel,例如channel-1,此时可以认为channel-1与Profile-1建立映射关系。进一步地,激活成功后,eSIM管理模块可以存储Profile-1的身份标识ISD P-AID,也可以发送至Modem中存储或者UE中存储。
在一些实施例中,Profile-1的身份标识ISD P-AID也可以不用存储,例如,当Modem-1访问Profile-1的应用程序时,eSIM管理模块可以检测来自channel-1的访问信息,例如AID1, 根据激活时Profile-1与channel-1之间的映射关系,可以访问到Profile-1中的AID1应用程序,从而避免冲突。
在一些实施例,也可以理解为多个Modem通过不同的逻辑通道访问channel。
在一些实施例,可以通过channel来指示对应的profile。在一些实施例中,当Channel-1和Profile-1建立映射关系,那么通过该Channel-1选择的profile系统文件默认都是profile1下的文件。在一些实施例中,当Channel-2和Profile-2绑定或建立映射关系,则通过Channel-2选择profile系统文件都属于Profile-2。
在一些实施例中,UE能够激活的最大Profile数目需要由UE能力和eSIM支持同时激活的Profile的数目共同确定。例如,UE有2个modem,eSIM支持同时激活profile的数目为3个,则UE能够激活的最大Profile数目为2个。在一些实施例中,可以采取UE支持的能力和eSIM支持的能力的最小值。在一些实施例中,如果同时激活的profile已经达到最大能力,下次的激活时需要先去激活(disable)旧的Profile,然后在激活新的Profile。
在一些实施例中,可以通过LPA模块发送或者接受指令,LPA(Local Profile Assistant)是当前eSIM协议(GSMA RSP Technical Specification Version 2)中描述的Profile管理模块。
图10根据本发明一种可能的实施方式通过时分切换当前使用的Profile初始化或者数据访问的系统结构图。
如图10所示,eSIM配置一个逻辑通道,通过时分切换对Profile-1与Profile-2进行初始化操作,在一些实施例中,初始化操作可以是为UE配置好各种参数或环境,例如可以是读取Profile中的文件和数据,诸如移动设备国际身份码IMEI。
根据上述实施例中任意激活两个Profile的方法,此时Profile-1与Profile-2处于激活状态。在一些实施例中,在eSIM芯片上已经激活了两个profile的场景中,Modem对eSIM的初始化过程,具体步骤如图11所示:
在ATR命令中获取当前eSIM芯片在一个逻辑通道上能支持的最大profile个数,由LCHMM保证不会在一个逻辑通道上使用的Profile个数不会超过eSIM最大支持的profile个数。
Step3.1:初始化Profile-1,Modem-1通过存储的ISP-D AID选择使用所要使用的profile(profile-1)。初始化的请求可以由用户或者UE发出,在一些实施例中,可以提供类似如图9所示的界面图供用户操作。值得说明是,也可以如前述激活实施例中在多个channel的情况下,通过channel指示来初始化Profile。
Step3.2:LCHMM通过Channel-1将发送指令发给eSIM卡。eSIM卡选择Profile-1,此时Modem可以通过channel-1可以访问到profile-1中的文件。
Step3.3:eSIM芯片执行成功或者失败,都会将结果返回给LCHMM。
Step3.4:LCHMM将eSIM芯片的结果返回给Modem-1,如果eSIM芯片执行成功,Modem-1可以通过Channel-1访问到profile-1中的文件;如果eSIM芯片执行失败,Modem-1根据错误原因进行相应处理。
Step3.5:Modem-2通过ISP-D AID选择使用所要使用的profile(profile-2)。
Step3.6:LCHMM通过Channel-1将选择指令发给eSIM卡。eSIM管理模块执行选择指令,此时可以通过逻辑通道channel-2可以访问到profile-2中的文件,而此切换过程不需要重启eSIM芯片。
Step3.7:eSIM芯片执行成功或者失败,都会将结果返回给LCHMM。
Step3.8:LCHMM将eSIM芯片的结果返回给Modem-2,如果eSIM芯片执行成功,Modem-2可以通过Channel-1访问到profile-2中的文件;如果eSIM芯片执行失败,Modem-2根据错误原因进行相应处理。
本实施例可以实现从当前访问Profile-1切换到访问Profile-2,而不需要去激活Profile-1。值得说的是,本实施采用在激活两个Profile的情况下,通过时分切换共享一个channel。上述实施例中,例如双通道激活双Profile的情况下,也可以实现双通道访问Profile中的数据和应用程序,从而避免冲突。
图12根据本发明一种可能的实施方式访问两个Profile的冲突解决的方法。
在一些实施例中,由于多个Modem在同一个逻辑通道(例如Channel-1)使用eSIM芯片资源,当一个Modem在访问eSIM芯片时,有可能其它Modem也正在访问eSIM芯片,例如Modem-2通过Channle-1将eSIM芯片选择到profile-2,并且正在读取某个文件,此时,Modem-1也需要访问eSIM芯片,有以下处理方法:
如图12所示:Step4.1–Step4.6:Modem-2将eSIM卡切换到Profile-2上,并且正在访问Porifle-2中的文件,例如通过channel-1。其中,步骤Step4.1–Step4.4为选择需要访问的Profile-2,查询成功后,返回Modem-2结果,即当前可以通过channel-1访问Profile-2中的文件。Step4.5–Step4.6为Modem-2访问Profile-2中的应用程序;
Step4.7:Modem-1此时有eSIM访问需求,并通过ISP-D AID选择使用所要使用的profile(profile-1)。
Step4.8:LCHMM发现此时Modem-2正在通过Channel-0和eSIM芯片通信,此时,给Modem-1返回通道状态忙碌Channel Busy。Modem-1此时缓存需求,等待Modem-2。
Step4.9:eSIM芯片执行完Modem-2的文件访问请求,将结果返回给LCHMM。
Step4.10:LCHMM将访问结果返回给Modem-2。
Step4.11:LCHMM发送指令至Modem-2,其中,指令用于告知Channel-2已经被释放,可以使用。
Step4.12:选择Profile-1(通过ISD P-AID);
Step4.13:通过channel-1,选择或者激活Profile-1AID(ISDP-AID)。eSIM当前状态为:通过Channel-1可以访问到Profile-1的文件;
Step4.14:eSIM返回激活结果至LCHMM;
Step4.15:LCHMM返回激活结果至Modem1;值得注意的是,步骤Step4.12-4.15为激活需要访问的Profile的。在一些实施中,可以确认Profile当前的活动状态,如果当前是激活状态,可以返回Profile当前的激活状态。
Step4.16–Step4.19:Modem可以通过Channel-1访问eSIM芯片,例如Profile-1与Profile-2。其中访问指令中可以携带有Profile的身份标识ISD P-AID与应用程序的AID。
图13根据本发明一种可能的实施方式两个Modem同时访问eSIM的冲突解决的方法。
在一些实施例中,对访问eSIM芯片的请求,可以按照优先级进行排序,例如高优先级的请求可以打断低优先级的请求,对Channel-1逻辑通道进行抢占。在一些实施例中,被抢占的低优先级请求会因高优先级请求的抢占而失败,需要在高优先级请求结束后重新发起。
如图13所示,步骤如下:
Step5.1-Step5.6:Modem-2将eSIM芯片切换到Profile-2上,并且正在访问Porifle-2中的文件。其中,Step5.1-Step5.4为选择需要访问的Profile-1。查询当前可以通过channel-1访问到Profile中的文件,并返回该结果至Modem-2。Step5.5-Step5.6为Modem-2访问Profile中的文件。
Step5.7:Modem-1此时有eSIM访问需求,并通过ISP-D AID选择使用所要使用的profile(profile-1)。LCHMM发现此时Modem-2正在通过Channel-1和eSIM芯片通信,此时,比较两请求的优先级,发现Modem-1的请求优先级更高。
Step5.8:中断Modem-2的处理流程,直接给Modem-2返回失败的结果,Modem-2收到此失败结果后,需要等待重试,流程可以参考上述流程的Step4.7–Step4.19的流程。
Step5.9-Step5.18:Modem-1通过LCHMM将eSIM芯片切换到profile-1上,并且正常通过Channel-1访问eSIM芯片。
值得说明的是,本申请的实施例是基于实现同时激活两个Profile,在一些实施例中,可以扩展到多个Profile。在一些实施例中,本实施例也可以扩展到多个设备共用一个eSIM,而实现同时激活多个设备,例如,主设备中配置一个下载有多个Profile的eSIM。
图14为根据本发明的一种可能的实施方式提供的eSIM远程管理系统框架。
如图14所示,该系统包括终端设备、用户、移动网络运营商、移动网络运营商后台(服务器)、签约关系管理数据准备平台SM-DP+、签约关系管理发现服务器SM-DS。
如图中所示,系统的签约流程如下:
步骤1:由用户与移动网络运营商签订网络服务协议,例如,可以通过网络订阅服务;
步骤2:移动网络运营商根据与用户签订的网络服务协议,在后台服务器更新数据信息,例如分配ICCID、ISP D-AID等相关信息;
步骤3:移动网络运营商告知用户进行下载服务,例如,移动网络运营商可以提供有访问权限的网络服务;
步骤4:终端设备连接到SM-DS签约关系管理发现服务器;
步骤5:从SM-DS签约关系管理发现服务器获得签约关系管理数据准备平台SM-DP+的地址(可以为多个SM-DP+的地址);
步骤6:从SM-DS签约关系管理数据准备平台SM-DP+获得Profile安装包,本地安装后即可进行语音业务或者数据业务。
在一些实施例中,eSIM可以下载多个Profile,例如,可以多个运营商签订网络服务协议或者同一个运营商签订多份网络服务协议。在一些实施例中,一个Profile可以对应一个手机号码。在一些实施例中,eSIM可以更换卡内的参数信息,例如通过更换Profile,在一些实施例中,Profile可以由不同的移动运营商提供服务。
在一些实施例中,在进行语音业务或者数据业务之前,可以对Profile进行激活(Enable)操作。在一些实施例中,如果不需要使用当前的手机号码,可以对响应的Profile进行去激活(Disable)操作。在一些实施例,用户可以通过选择手机号码来对Profile进行操作,例如,激活或者去激活。
图15为根据本发明的一种可能的实施方式提供的eSIM远程管理系统框架。
如前所述,SIM卡(或者SIM芯片)被直接嵌入到移动设备中并且可以配置为管理多个Profile。例如,用于本地MNO的一个Profile和用于国际MNO的另一个Profile。
如图15所示,整个系统包括终端设备UE(包括eSIM)、用户EU、运营商operator、签约关系管理数据准备平台SM-DP+、签约关系管理发现服务器SM-DS、证书发行商CI、eUICC 卡制造商EUM等。整个系统通过各个单元的职责定位及其之间的接口互联,保证运营商与SIM之间安全可靠的远程配置业务。各单元的接口以及相关定义如下:
ES2+为运营商与SM-DP+之间的接口,用于运营商指令特定的eSIM对应的Profile和其他功能指令;
ES6为运营商用于eUICC之间的接口,主要用于运营商通过OTA服务来管理运营商服务;
ES8+为SM-DP+与eUICC之间的接口,该接口主要用于提供安全的端到端的通道来进行ISD-P和Profile的管理;
ES9+为SM-DP+与LPD之间的接口,用于为受约束的Profile的安装包Bound Profile Package的传输提供安全的传输通道;
ES10a为LDSd与eUICC之间的接口,用于在LDSd和LPA Services之间处理Profile discovery;
ES10b为LPDd和eUICC之间的接口,用于在LPDd和LPA Services之间,传递一个Bound Profile Package至eUICC;
ES10c为LUId与eUICC之间的接口,用于在LUId和LPA Services之间,供用户进行Profile管理操作;

ESeum为eUICC与制造商之间的接口;eUICC与eUICC制造商之间的管理接口;
ESeu为End User与LUI之间的接口,可以用户初始化本地Profile管理功能;
在一些实施例中,LPA也可以是位于终端设备中,例如,可以称之为LPAd。
在一些实施例中,本实施例中的接口定义可以参见GSMA RSP Technical Specification Version 2.2中的2.3部分。
图16为根据本发明一种可能的实施方式提供的基于单eSIM卡激活profile的系统示意图。
如图所示,在一些实施例中,Profile可以通过OTA服务下载到eSIM卡上。在一些实施例中,一个eSIM卡上可以下载多个Profile。在一些实施例中,一个Modem连接一个Profile,例如,Profile-1。在一些实施例中,Modem可以是逻辑模块,例如配置在LPAd或者eSIM芯片、基带芯片中。Modem也可以是实体模块,可以集成在基带芯片中。
eSIM管理模块可以是eSIM操作系统OS或者应用程序,也可以是由硬件实现,用于对eSIM卡进行激活、访问管理等。例如,当Modem-1需要激活Profile-1时,eSIM管理模块可以将channel与Profile-1相关联,以实现Profile-1的激活。又例如,当Modem(或者UE)需要激活Profile时,可以由eSIM打开channel。
在一些实施例中,Profile激活动作可以由eSIM卡来完成。在一些实施例中,激活Profile可以是通过与Modem建立连接,例如,通过eSIM卡的逻辑通道channel发送激活指令。在一些实施例中,eSIM卡的逻辑通道数目可以由发卡商或者运营商来决定。
在一些实施例中,用户选择或者UE自动选择需要激活的Profile可以通过识别profile的一些身份标识,例如,ISD-P AID、ICCID等相关信息。在一些实施例中,ISD-P AID用于识别不同的Profile,每一个Profile具有唯一的ISD P-AID。
在一些实施例中,每一个Profile都有自身的文件结构与应用程序,例如EF文件和应用程序等。AID被用于识别被安装在具体Profile中的应用程序,AID包括5个字节应用程序提供 商ID和11个字节(或者更少的)专有AID,AID可以由发卡商或者运营商在制造过程中被确定。如前所述,eSIM芯片中可包括多个Profile。值得注意的是,这些eSIM可来自不同的Profile,例如AT&T和T-Mobile。在多个Profile的情况下,同一个eSIM卡中多个Profile可以使用相同的AID,使得在不同的Profile之间没有保留AID的唯一性,当Modem访问或者激活eSIM卡的时候,容易造成冲突。
在一些实施例中,当前激活新的profile后,需要将旧的profile去激活,即一次可仅存在一个Profile是活动的,主要原因是当前eSIM的文件系统MF下只能挂接一个ADF。在一些实施例中,可以通过修改或者扩展当前的eSIM卡内文件组织结构可以支撑Profile的区分,实现文件系统MF下挂接多个ADF,即实现可以同时存在两个或者多个激活状态的Profile。本领域技术人员可以实现。
值得说明的是,该实施例也可以用于初始化或者访问Profile中的数据、文件或者应用程序。
在一些实施例中,基于双eSIM卡的实现方式可以类比单eSIM卡的实现方式。在一些实施例中,基于双eSIM卡的实现方式的流程可以是参考现有标准所述的流程步骤。
在一些实施例中,去激活Profile时需要将对应Profile的标识ISD P-AID从对应的Modem删除。
在一些实施例中,Modem与Profile的对应关系需要保存,用于下次开机后进行Profile选择。
如图17所示,提供一种具有嵌入式SIM卡的终端设备UE,至少包括一个处理器、存储器、以及嵌入式SIM芯片,所述eSIM芯片中包括获取单元,被配置为获取来自基带处理器或者应用处理器的指令;选择单元,被配置为选择eSIM中的Profile,例如,通过Profile的身份识别标志ISD P-AID,或者用于将channel与Profile建立关联关系,或者依据channel与Profile的关联关系选择所需要的Profile;以及发送单元,配置为发送Profile的状态信息,例如激活或者去激活(未激活)状态,以及channel编号,以及profile与channel的绑定关系,以及发送channel的状态的信息等。
本发明的各实施方式可以任意进行组合,以实现不同的技术效果。
通过以上的实施方式的描述,所属领域的技术人员可以清楚地了解到本发明可以用硬件实现,或固件实现,或它们的组合方式来实现。当使用软件实现时,可以将上述功能存储在计算机可读介质中或作为计算机可读介质上的一个或多个指令或代码进行传输。计算机可读介质包括计算机存储介质和通信介质,其中通信介质包括便于从一个地方向另一个地方传送计算机程序的任何介质。存储介质可以是计算机能够存取的任何可用介质。以此为例但不限于:计算机可读介质可以包括RAM、ROM、EEPROM、CD-ROM或其他光盘存储、磁盘存储介质或者其他磁存储设备、或者能够用于携带或存储具有指令或数据结构形式的期望的程序代码并能够由计算机存取的任何其他介质。此外。任何连接可以适当的成为计算机可读介质。例如,如果软件是使用同轴电缆、光纤光缆、双绞线、数字用户线(DSL)或者诸如红外线、无线电和微波之类的无线技术从网站、服务器或者其他远程源传输的,那么同轴电缆、光纤光缆、双绞线、DSL或者诸如红外线、无线和微波之类的无线技术包括在所属介质的定影中。如本发明所使用的,盘(Disk)和碟(disc)包括压缩光碟(CD)、激光碟、光碟、数字通用光碟(DVD)、软盘和蓝光光碟,其中盘通常磁性的复制数据,而碟则用激光来光学的复制数据。上面的组合也应当包括在计算机可读介质的保护范围之内。
