Description

一种eSIM卡的开户方法及终端 技术领域
本申请实施例涉及通信技术领域，尤其涉及一种eSIM卡的开户方法及终端。
背景技术
SIM卡(subscriber identification module，用户身份识别卡)也可称为UICC(universal integrated circuit card，通用集成电路卡)，手机等终端一般需要安装SIM卡后才能正常使用通话和短信等通信功能。虽然SIM卡的尺寸从Mini SIM卡、Micro SIM卡到Nano SIM卡的演变过程中逐渐变小，但始终需要占据手机的内部空间，同时降低了手机的密闭性。
而eSIM卡(embedded-SIM，嵌入式SIM卡)也可称为eUICC(embedded-UICC，嵌入式通用集成电路卡)，它的体积比传统的SIM卡小了90％左右，并且可以直接焊接在手机的主板上，而不是作为独立的可移除零部件插入手机中。另外，eSIM卡是可以编程的，它可以写入或者擦除任意运营商的配置信息(即profile，例如用户身份、运营商签约信息等)，使得用户可以在线开通和更换不同的运营商提供的不同服务。
用户在使用内置eSIM卡前需要去运营商的营业厅办理开户流程，生成与用户的eSIM卡对应的profile，并下载该profile至用户的终端后才能使用。通常，由用户将终端中eSIM卡的标识(EID)提供给营业厅的服务人员，由服务人员使用该EID帮用户开户后生成一个用于下载其profile的激活码(activation code)。当终端扫描该激活码后可下载对应的profile，后续用户在终端上激活该profile后便可正常使用eSIM卡。但用户必须要到运营商的营业厅才能完成上述开户流程，这不仅降低eSIM服务的操作效率，同时降低了用户对eSIM卡的使用体验，浪费用户时间。
发明内容
本申请的实施例提供一种eSIM卡的开户方法及终端，可在线办理eSIM卡的开户流程，简化了eSIM卡的开户流程和操作效率，提高用户对eSIM卡的使用体验。

下面结合图1对手机100的各个部件进行具体的介绍：
处理器101是手机100的控制中心，利用各种接口和线路连接手机100的各个部分，通过运行或执行存储在存储器103内的应用程序，以及调用存储在存储器103内的数据和指令，执行手机100的各种功能和处理数据。在一些实施例中，处理器101可包括一个或多个处理单元；处理器101还可以集成应用处理器和调制解调处理器；其中，应用处理器主要处理操作系统、用户界面和应用程序等，调制解调处理器主要处理无线通信。可以理解的是，上述调制解调处理器也可以不集成到处理器101中。举例来说，处理器101可以是华为技术有限公司制造的麒麟960多核处理器。
射频电路102可用于在收发信息或通话过程中，无线信号的接收和发送。具体地，射频电路102可以将基站的下行数据接收后，给处理器101处理；另外，将涉及上行的数据发送给基站。通常，射频电路包括但不限于天线、至少一个放大器、收发信机、耦合器、低噪声放大器、双工器等。此外，射频电路102还可以通过无线通信和其他设备通信。所述无线通信可以使用任一通信标准或协议，包括但不限于全球移动通讯系统、通用分组无线服务、码分多址、宽带码分多址、长期演进、电子邮件、短信服务等。

Figure PCTCN2018080341-appb-000002
操作系统等。
触摸屏104可以包括触敏表面104-1和显示器104-2。其中，触敏表面104-1(例如触控面板)可采集手机100的用户在其上或附近的触摸事件(比如用户使用手指、触控笔等任何适合的物体在触敏表面104-1上或在触敏表面104-1附近的操作)，并将采集到的触摸信息发送给其他器件例如处理器101。其中，用户在触敏表面104-1附近的触摸事件可以称之为悬浮触控；悬浮触控可以是指，用户无需为了选择、移动或拖动目标(例如图标等)而直接接触触控板，而只需用户位于终端附近以便执行所想要的功能。在悬浮触控的应用场景下，术语“触摸”、“接触”等不会暗示用于直接接触触摸屏，而是在其附近或接近的接触。能够进行悬浮触控的触敏表面104-1可以采用电容式、红外光感以及超声波等实现。触敏表面104-1可包括触摸检测装置和触摸控制器两个部分。其中，触摸检测装置检测用户的触摸方位，并检测触摸操作带来的信号，将信号传送给触摸控制器；触摸控制器从触摸检测装置上接收触摸信息，并将它转换成触点坐标，再发送给处理器101，触摸控制器还可以接收处理器101发送的指令并加以执行。此外，可以采用电阻式、电容式、红外线以及表面声波等多种类型来实现触敏表面104-1。显示器(也称为显示屏)104-2可用于显示由用户输入的信息或提供给用户的信息以及手机100的各种菜单。可以采用液晶显示器、有机发光二极管等形式来配置显示器104-2。触敏表面104-1可以覆盖在显示器104-2之上，当触敏表面104-1检测到在其上或附近的触摸事件后，传送给处理器101以确定触摸事件的类型，随后处理器101可以根据触摸事件的类型在显示器104-2上提供相应的视觉输出。虽然在图1中，触敏表面104-1与显示屏104-2是作为两个独立的部件来实现手机100的输入和输出功能，但是在某些实施例中，可以将触敏表面104-1与显示屏104-2集成而实现手机100的输入和输出功能。可以理解的是，触摸屏104是由多层材料堆叠而成，本申请实施例中只展示出了触敏表面(层)和显示屏(层)，其他层在本申请实施例中不予记载。另外，在本申请其他一些实施例中，触敏表面104-1可以覆盖在显示器104-2之上，并且触敏表面104-1的尺寸大于显示屏104-2的尺寸，使得显示屏104-2全部覆盖在触敏表面104-1下面，或者，上述触敏表面104-1可以以全面板的形式配置在手机100的正面，也即用户在手机100正面的触摸均能被手机感知，这样就可以实现手机正面的全触控体验。在其他一些实施例中，触敏表面104-1以全面板的形式配置在手机100的正面，显示屏104-2也可以以全面板的形式配置在手机100的正面，这样在手机的正面就能够实现无边框的结构。在本申请其他一些实施例中，触摸屏104还可以包括一组或多组传感器阵列，用于触摸屏104在感测用户在其上的触摸事件的同时也可以感测到用户在其上施加的压力等。
手机100还可以包括蓝牙装置105，用于实现手机100与其他短距离的终端(例如手机、智能手表等)之间的数据交换。本申请实施例中的蓝牙装置可以是集成电路或者蓝牙芯片等。
手机100还可以包括至少一种传感器106，比如指纹识别器、光传感器、运动传感器以及其他传感器。具体地，指纹识别器可以在手机100的背面(例如后置摄像头的下方)配置指纹识别器，或者在手机100的正面(例如触摸屏104的下方)配置指纹识别器。另外，也可以通过在触摸屏104中配置指纹识别器来实现指纹识别功能。 光传感器可包括环境光传感器及接近传感器，其中，环境光传感器可根据环境光线的明暗来调节触摸屏104的显示器的亮度，接近传感器可在手机100移动到耳边时，关闭显示器的电源。作为运动传感器的一种，加速计传感器可检测各个方向上(一般为三轴)加速度的大小，静止时可检测出重力的大小及方向，可用于识别手机姿态的应用(比如横竖屏切换、相关游戏、磁力计姿态校准)、振动识别相关功能(比如计步器、敲击)等；至于手机100还可配置的陀螺仪、气压计、湿度计、温度计、红外线传感器等其他传感器，在此不予赘述。
WI-FI装置107，用于为手机100提供遵循WI-FI相关标准协议的网络接入，手机100可以通过WI-FI装置107接入到WI-FI接入点，进而帮助用户收发电子邮件、浏览网页和访问流媒体等，它为用户提供了无线的宽带互联网访问。在其他一些实施例中，该WI-FI装置107也可以作为WI-FI无线接入点，可以为其他终端提供WI-FI网络接入。
定位装置108，用于为手机100提供地理位置。可以理解的是，该定位装置108具体可以是全球定位系统(global positioning system，GPS)、北斗卫星导航系统等定位系统的接收器。定位装置108在接收到上述定位系统发送的地理位置后，将该信息发送给处理器101进行处理，或者发送给存储器103进行保存。在另外的一些实施例中，该定位装置108可以是辅助全球卫星定位系统(assisted global positioning system，AGPS)的接收器，AGPS是一种在一定辅助配合下进行GPS定位的运行方式，它可以利用基站的信号，配合GPS卫星信号，可以让手机100定位的速度更快；在AGPS系统中，该定位装置108可通过与辅助定位服务器(例如手机定位服务器)的通信而获得定位辅助。AGPS系统通过作为辅助服务器来协助定位装置108完成测距和定位服务，在这种情况下，辅助定位服务器通过无线通信网络与终端例如手机100的定位装置108(即GPS接收器)通信而提供定位协助。在另外的一些实施例中，该定位装置108也可以是基于WI-FI接入点的定位技术。由于每一个WI-FI接入点都有一个全球唯一的MAC地址，终端在开启WI-FI的情况下即可扫描并收集周围的WI-FI接入点的广播信号，因此可以获取到WI-FI接入点广播出来的MAC地址；终端将这些能够标示WI-FI接入点的数据(例如MAC地址)通过无线通信网络发送给位置服务器，由位置服务器检索出每一个WI-FI接入点的地理位置，并结合WI-FI广播信号的强弱程度，计算出该终端的地理位置并发送到该终端的定位装置108中。
音频电路109、扬声器113、麦克风114可提供用户与手机100之间的音频接口。音频电路109可将接收到的音频数据转换后的电信号，传输到扬声器113，由扬声器113转换为声音信号输出；另一方面，麦克风114将收集的声音信号转换为电信号，由音频电路109接收后转换为音频数据，再将音频数据输出至RF电路102以发送给比如另一手机，或者将音频数据输出至存储器103以便进一步处理。
外设接口110，用于为外部的输入/输出设备(例如键盘、鼠标、外接显示器、外部存储器、用户识别模块卡等)提供各种接口。例如通过通用串行总线接口与鼠标连接，通过用户识别模块卡卡槽上的金属触点与电信运营商提供的用户识别模块(subscriber identity module，SIM)卡电连接。外设接口110可以被用来将上述外部的输入/输出外围设备耦接到处理器101和存储器103。
示例性的，仍如图1所示，在本申请实施例中，手机100还可以包括eSIM卡112。其中，eSIM卡112可以集成在手机100的SOC(system on chip，)芯片、调制解调(modem)芯片或者近场通信(NFC near field communication，NFC)芯片中，本申请实施例对此不作任何限制。
用户在首次使用手机100内eSIM卡提供的通信服务之前，需要从eSIM服务器中下载属于用户为该eSIM卡签约的配置信息(profile)，该配置信息中包含运营商为用户提供服务所需的卡数据和卡应用的集合，例如，该profile的ICCID(integrate circuit card identity，集成电路卡识别码)、国际移动用户识别码(international mobile subscriber identification number，IMSI)、移动用户国际号码(mobile subscriber international ISDN/PSTN number，MSISDN)以及用户的签约信息等，本申请实施例对此不做任何限制。
当手机100将eSIM卡的配置信息下载至eSIM卡中后，用户激活该eSIM卡内的配置信息后便可以并通过该eSIM卡享受运营商提供的各项服务。
另外，由于eSIM卡是可编程的器件，因此eSIM卡中可以存储属于不同运营商的多个profile，使得用户可以享受不同运营商提供的eSIM服务。例如，用户通过手机100首先与运营商A签约后从eSIM服务器中下载与运营商A关联的配置信息1，后续，当用户希望使用运营商B提供的eSIM服务时，可继续再次从eSIM服务器中下载与运营商B关联的配置信息2，配置信息1与配置信息2中具有不同的ICCID。这样用户在使用手机100时可以通过切换配置信息1和配置信息2，享受不同运营商提供的eSIM服务。
手机100还可以包括给各个部件供电的电源装置111(比如电池和电源管理芯片)，电池可以通过电源管理芯片与处理器101逻辑相连，从而通过电源装置111实现管理充电、放电、以及功耗管理等功能。
尽管图1未示出，手机100还可以包括摄像头、闪光灯、微型投影装置、近场通信(near field communication，NFC)装置等，在此不予赘述。

操作系统为示例来说明终端要实现本实施例的技术方案的所需的软件环境，本领域技术人员可以理解，本申请实施例也可以以其它操作系统来实现。
示例性地，图2是一种可以运行在上述终端中的
Figure PCTCN2018080341-appb-000006
操作系统的软件架构示意图。该软件架构可以分为四层，分别为应用程序层，应用程序框架层，函数库层和Linux内核层。
1、应用程序(Applications)层
应用程序层是操作系统的最上一层，包括操作系统的原生应用程序，例如电子邮件客户端、短信、通话、日历、浏览器、联系人等。当然，对于开发者来说，开发者可以编写应用程序并安装到该层。一般而言，应用程序是使用Java语言开发，通过调 用应用程序框架层所提供的应用程序编程接口(application programming interface，API)来完成。
2、应用程序框架(Application Framework)层
应用程序框架层主要是为开发者提供了可以访问应用程序所使用的各种API，开发者可以通过应用程序框架来与操作系统的底层(例如函数库、Linux内核等)进行交互，开发自己的应用程序。该应用程序框架主要是Android操作系统的一系列的服务和管理系统。应用程序框架主要包括如下基础服务：
活动管理器(Activity Manager)：用来管理应用程序生命周期并提供常用的导航回退功能；
内容提供器(Content Providers)：用来管理不同应用程序间的数据共享和访问；
通知管理器(Notification Manager)：用于控制应用程序在状态栏、锁屏界面等显示提示信息(例如警告(Alerts)、通知(Notifications)等)给用户；
资源管理器(Resource Manager)：提供非代码资源(如字符串、图形和布局文件(Layout file)等)供应用程序使用；
剪贴板管理器(Clipboard Manager):主要提供应用程序内部或者应用程序之间的复制或粘贴功能；
视图(View)：具有丰富的、可扩展的视图集合，可用于构建一个应用程序，它具体包括列表(List)、网格(Grid)、文本框(TextBox)、按钮(Button)，以及可嵌入的网页浏览器；
位置管理器(Location Manager)：主要是让应用程序可以访问到终端所处的地理位置。
3、函数库(Libraries)层
函数库层是应用程序框架的支撑，是连接应用程序框架层与Linux内核层的重要纽带。函数库层包括一些由计算机程序C语言或C++语言编译的函数库，这些函数库能被操作系统中的不同的组件使用，它们通过应用程序框架层为开发者提供服务。具体地，函数库可以包括libc函数库，它是专门为基于embedded linux的设备定制的；函数库还可以包括多媒体库(Media Framework)，该库支持多种编码格式的音频或视频的回放和录制，同时支持静态图像文件，以及常见的音频或视频编码格式。函数库还包括界面管理库(Surface Manager)，主要负责管理针对显示系统的访问，具体用于在执行多个应用程序时候，负责管理显示与存取操作间的互动，另外也负责2D绘图与3D绘图进行显示合成。
函数库层中还可以包括其他的用于实现手机各个功能的函数库，例如：
SGL(Scalable Graphics Library)：基于XML(Extensible Markup Language)文件的2D图形图像处理引擎；SSL(Secure Sockets Layer)：位于TVP/IP协议与各种应用层协议之间，为数据通讯提供支持；OpenGL/ES：3D效果的支持；SQLite：关系型数据库引擎；Webkit：Web浏览器引擎；FreeType：位图及矢量字体支持；等等。
Android Runtime是一种在
Figure PCTCN2018080341-appb-000007
操作系统上的运行环境，是
Figure PCTCN2018080341-appb-000008
操作系统所使用的一种新的虚拟机。在Android Runtime中，采用AOT(Ahead-Of-Time)技术，应用程序在第一次安装的时候，该应用程序的字节码就会被预先编译成机器码， 让应用程序成为真正的本地应用，之后再次运行，就省去了编译这一步骤，启动和执行都会变得更加快速。
在本申请其它一些实施例中，Android Runtime也可以由核心函数库(Core Libraries)和Dalvik虚拟机(Dalvik Virtual Machine)代替。核心函数库提供了Java语言API中的大多数功能，主要通过Java原生界面(Java native interface，JNI)的方式向应用程序框架层提供调用底层程序库的接口。同时也包含了该操作系统的一些核心API，如android.os、android.net、android.media等等。Dalvik虚拟机使用一种JIT(Just-in-Time)的运行时编译的机制，每次启动一个进程都需要虚拟机在后台重新编译字节码，会对启动速度有一定的影响。每一个应用程序都运行在是一个Dalvik虚拟机中的实例中，每一个Dalvik虚拟机实例都是一个独立的进程空间。Dalvik虚拟机设计成在一个设备可以高效地运行多个虚拟机。Dalvik虚拟机可执行文件格式是.dex，dex格式是专为Dalvik设计的一种压缩格式，适合内存和处理器速度有限的系统。需要提出的是Dalvik虚拟机依赖于Linux内核提供基本功能(线程、底层内存管理)。可以理解的是，Android Runtime、Dalvik属于不同类型的虚拟机，本领域技术人员可以在不同情况下选用不同形式的虚拟机。
4、Linux内核(Linux Kernel)层
该层提供操作系统的核心系统服务，如安全性、内存管理、进程管理、网络协议栈和驱动模型等都基于Linux内核。Linux内核同时也作为硬件和软件栈之间的抽象层。该层有许多与移动设备相关的驱动程序，主要的驱动有：显示驱动；基于Linux的帧缓冲驱动；作为输入设备的键盘驱动；基于内存技术设备的Flash驱动；照相机驱动；
音频驱动；蓝牙驱动；WI-FI驱动等。
在本申请实施例中，仍如图2所示，应用程序层中还包括LPA(local profile assistant，本地配置文件助理)应用374。该LPA应用374是上述eSIM卡的管理软件，可用于维护eSIM卡这一硬件内各个profile的下载、激活、删除以及显示等功能。并且，其他应用(例如运营商的网上营业厅APP)可通过LPA应用374提供的相应接口获取eSIM卡内的profile等相关信息。
其中，上述LPA应用374可以集成在eSIM卡内，也可以作为系统级应用运行在手机100的操作系统中，本申请实施例对此不做任何限制。
结合图1和图2所示的手机100，如图3所示，为本申请实施例提供的一种eSIM系统的架构示意图。该eSIM系统中包括用于提供eSIM服务的eSIM服务器200、运营商提供的业务运营支撑系统(business & operation support system，BOSS)300以及至少一个手机100。
其中，BOSS 300是运营商提供的一个综合的业务运营和管理支撑平台。一般包括计费及结算系统、营业与账务系统、客户服务系统和决策支持系统这4个部分。
eSIM服务器200具体可以为SM-DP(subscription manager-data preparation，订阅管理器数据准备)服务器或SM-DP+服务器。eSIM服务器200用于负责安全生成和管理各个手机100中eSIM卡内的配置信息(profile)。如图3所示，eSIM服务器200内设置有用于维护各个eSIM卡内配置信息的数据库201。由于手机100内的eSIM卡 在初始状态下没有与任何用户和运营商绑定，因此当用户首次使用eSIM卡时需要选择一个运营商开通一个与用户相关联的eSIM卡账户。在开户时，eSIM服务器200可在数据库201中为用户生成并存储该eSIM卡的配置信息，后续由手机100将该配置信息下载至手机100的eSIM卡中，从而完成eSIM卡的开户流程。
其中，上述配置信息(profile)中可包含运营商为用户提供服务所需的卡数据和卡应用的集合，例如，该profile的ICCID、IMSI以及用户的签约信息等。由于ICCID是与不同的profile唯一关联的，因此eSIM卡内不同profile中的ICCID一般不同。
仍如图3所示，手机100的硬件层包括嵌入设置在手机主板内的eSIM卡，手机100的应用层可包括管理该eSIM卡的LPA应用以及运营商的网上营业厅APP或网页。
在本申请实施例中，用户在首次使用eSIM卡时可以在网上营业厅APP或网页上在线开通该eSIM卡的账户，避免用户前往运营商的营业厅实体店办理开户流程而导致的开户流程繁琐、使用体验降低等问题。
示例性的，仍如图3所示，手机100检测到用户在网上营业厅APP中请求开通eSIM卡账户的操作后，手机100可向BOSS系统300申请为用户开通该eSIM卡。当用户通过手机100完成选择号码以及实名制认证等签约操作后，BOSS系统300可指示eSIM服务器200为该用户生成其请求开通的eSIM卡的profile(例如profile A)，并通知手机100从eSIM服务器200中获取该eSIM卡的profile A。
例如，eSIM服务器200按照BOSS系统300的指示生成eSIM卡的profile A之后，可将该profile A的索引发送给BOSS系统300。进而，BOSS系统300将eSIM服务器200的地址以及该profile A的索引作为配置信息的下载地址发送给手机100内运行的网上营业厅APP。例如，BOSS系统300将eSIM服务器200的地址以及该profile A的索引制作成激活码，并将该激活码发送给手机100内运行的网上营业厅APP。
那么，网上营业厅APP通过调用LPA应用提供的预设接口，例如setActivationCode()函数，可将该激活码传递给LPA应用，使得LPA应用解析该激活码后获得eSIM服务器200的地址以及profile A的索引。这样，LPA应用可以根据eSIM服务器200的地址与上述eSIM服务器200建立连接，并根据profile A的索引在eSIM服务器200中下载该profile A至手机100的eSIM卡中。
由于手机100的eSIM卡中可以存储属于多个不同的profile，但同一时间只允许一个profile被激活使用。因此，eSIM卡中的每一个profile均设置有一个用于指示是否处于激活状态的标志位。当手机100将请求到的profile A下载至eSIM卡后，如果检测到用户执行了激活该profile A的激活操作，则LPA应用可修改eSIM卡中profile A的标志位，将profile A设置为激活状态，同时，如果eSIM卡中还包括属于其他的profile，则LPA应用可将其他的profile设置为未激活状态。这样，手机100可以通过eSIM卡内唯一被激活的profile A正常使用运营商提供的各项服务。
可以看出，在本申请实施例提供的eSIM卡开户的方法中，用户在网上营业厅APP或网页中执行申请开通eSIM卡账户的相关操作后，便可以在线完成整个eSIM卡的开户流程，无需用户到运营商营业厅实体店进行人工开户，从而简化了eSIM卡的开户流程和操作效率，提高用户对eSIM卡的使用体验。
另外，在本申请实施例中手机100或eSIM服务器200在与BOSS系统300交互 时，具体是与BOSS系统300中设置的相关运营商服务器(例如web服务器)进行通信的，以下实施例中均以手机与BOSS系统或eSIM服务器与BOSS系统交互为例进行说明。
结合上述实施例及附图1-3，以下实施例中将通过具体实施例详细阐述本申请提供的一种eSIM卡的开户方法，以终端为手机举例，如图4所示，该方法可以包括以下步骤：
S401、手机接收用户在运营商的网上营业厅APP中执行的开通eSIM卡账户的申请操作。
由于手机的通话、短信以及网络服务等功能均需要eSIM卡配置完成后才能执行，那么，用户首次使用内置eSIM卡的手机时，由于携带的eSIM卡还未与任何运营商和用户绑定，因此，用户接入Wi-Fi等无线网络后可以在手机上安装相应运营商的网上营业厅APP，进而在该网上营业厅APP上申请开通还未使用的eSIM卡，在线完成开通eSIM卡账户的整个开户流程。
又或者，如果用户已经和某一运营商(例如运营商A)签约了eSIM服务，则此时eSIM卡内已经存储有与运营商A关联的配置信息(例如配置信息1)。那么，如果用户希望与新的运营商B签约eSIM服务，则在步骤S401中，用户也可以通过运营商A提供的网络服务登录运营商B的网上营业厅APP，进而在运营商B的网上营业厅APP上申请开通运营商B提供的eSIM服务，在线完成整个开户流程。
示例性的，如图5所示，用户登录运营商A的网上营业厅(也可称为手机营业厅)APP 501后，手机可以在该APP 501内的相关页面显示用于开通eSIM卡账户的控件601。那么，用户如果希望在线开通eSIM卡账户，可对该控件601执行申请操作(例如，单击操作、双击操作或者长按操作等，本申请实施例对此不做任何限制)。这样，手机接收到用户在该网上营业厅APP中执行的申请操作后，可继续执行下述步骤S402-S416。
需要说明的是，本申请实施例中均以网上营业厅APP举例说明用户在线开通eSIM卡账户的过程，可以理解的是，用户可以在任意具有办理eSIM卡开户的应用中在线开通eSIM卡账户，或者，用户也可以通过浏览器访问运营商的网上营业厅在线开通eSIM卡账户，本申请实施例对此不做任何限制。
S402、响应于上述申请操作，网上营业厅APP调用LPA应用提供的第一接口获取手机内eSIM卡的标识。
S403、网上营业厅APP向BOSS系统发送开户请求，该开户请求中携带有上述eSIM卡的标识。
其中，LPA应用是手机内eSIM卡的管理软件，该应用一方面可提供与eSIM卡这一硬件之间交互的接口，用于写入或读取eSIM卡内存储的数据；另一方面，LPA应用还可提供与网上营业厅APP等其他第三方应用之间交互的接口，用于向网上营业厅APP传递获取到的eSIM卡的相关信息。
当然，LPA应用可通过预先向网上营业厅APP授权接口调用权限，或与网上营业厅APP交互时进行鉴权等方式保证eSIM卡相关信息的安全性。
在步骤S402中，手机的触摸屏检测到用户在网上营业厅APP中执行上述申请操作后，经过逐层封装后可将该申请操作上报给应用层中正在运行的网上营业厅APP，那么，网上营业厅APP获取到该申请操作后，可调用LPA应用提供的第一接口，从eSIM卡中获取能够唯一标识该eSIM卡的标识。
其中，上述第一接口是LPA应用提供的用于将eSIM卡的标识传递给第三方应用(例如上述网上营业厅APP)的接口。例如，该第一接口具体可以为getEID()接口，于每一张eSIM卡均设置有与其唯一关联的EID，因此，LPA应用可通过调用getEID()接口获取该eSIM卡的EID。
例如，eSIM卡的EID是一个32位的数字字符串，那么，网上营业厅APP通过执行String EID＝eSIMLPA.getEID()获取该eSIM卡的EID。
进而，在步骤S403中，网上营业厅APP得到eSIM卡的EID之后，便可将该EID携带在开户请求中发送给与该网上营业厅APP对应的运营商的BOSS系统，例如，中国电信的BOSS系统、中国移动的BOSS系统或者中国联通的BOSS系统等，以请求BOSS系统为持有上述EID的eSIM卡开户。
S404、响应于上述开户请求，BOSS系统向手机发送开通eSIM卡账户的服务条款，使得手机通过网上营业厅APP显示该服务条款。
S405、当检测到用户同意上述服务条款的操作后，网上营业厅APP向BOSS系统发送确认消息。
在步骤S404中，BOSS系统接收到手机发送的上述开户请求后，可将开通eSIM卡账户时用户须知的相关服务条款发送给手机，由手机通过上述网上营业厅APP的相关页面显示给用户，使得用户可以通过网上营业厅APP在线与运营商签约相关eSIM服务。
示例性的，用户点击图5中网上营业厅APP内用于开通eSIM卡账户的控件601后，如图6所示，网上营业厅APP可跳转至界面701，并在界面701内显示BOSS系统发送给手机的相关服务条款。其中，界面701中还设置有表示用户同意该服务条款的控件702以及表示用户拒绝该服务条款的控件703。
那么，在步骤S405中，如果手机检测到用户点击上述控件702，则说明用户同意BOSS系统发送来的服务条款，此时，网上营业厅APP可生成一个确认消息，并将该确认消息发送给BOSS系统，从而向BOSS系统指示持有上述EID的eSIM卡用户同意上述服务条款，使得BOSS系统可继续执行下述步骤S406-S416。
相应的，如果手机检测到用户点击上述控件703，则说明用户不同意BOSS系统发送来的服务条款，那么网上营业厅APP可终止开通持有上述EID的eSIM卡的开户流程，返回至网上营业厅APP的首页或登录界面。
S406、响应于上述确认消息，BOSS系统向手机发送候选电话号码和候选业务套餐，使得手机通过网上营业厅APP显示该候选电话号码和候选业务套餐。
S407、当检测到用户选中目标电话号码和目标业务套餐后，网上营业厅APP向BOSS系统发送该目标电话号码和目标业务套餐的标识。
当用户同意BOSS系统发送来的服务条款时，BOSS系统可接收到手机通过网上营业厅APP发送来的确认信息。那么，在步骤S406中，BOSS系统可将当前可用的候 选电话号码和候选业务套餐的相关信息发送给手机，由手机通过上述网上营业厅APP显示该候选电话号码和候选业务套餐，使得用户可以在线选择与其eSIM卡绑定的电话号码和业务内容。
示例性的，如果用户点击图6中表示服务条款上述控件702，则说明用户同意BOSS系统发送来的服务条款，那么，如图7所示，网上营业厅APP可跳转至界面801，并在界面701内显示BOSS系统发送给手机的一个或多个候选电话号码802和候选业务套餐803，这样用户可以在网上营业厅APP上在线为准备开通的eSIM卡挑选目标电话号码和目标业务套餐。
在步骤S407中，用户可以在上述候选电话号码802中选择用户希望的电话号码作为目标电话号码，并在上述候选业务套餐803中选择用户希望的业务套餐作为目标业务套餐绑定至用户准备开通的eSIM卡中。仍如图7所示，当用户选中“133-9999-8888”作为目标电话号码，且选中“199元套餐”作为目标业务套餐后，可点击提交按钮804。这样，网上营业厅APP检测到用户点击提交按钮804后，可将用户选中的目标电话号码和目标业务套餐的标识发送至BOSS系统，以便后续将用户选中的目标电话号码和目标业务套餐等签约数据绑定至用户的eSIM卡中，完成eSIM卡的在线开户流程。
S408、网上营业厅APP获取用户身份的认证信息，并将该认证信息发送至BOSS系统进行实名制认证。
在步骤S408中，为了降低不法分子利用手机进行不法行为的几率，用户还可以在网上营业厅APP上在线完成用户身份的实名制认证流程。示例性的，用户在图7所示的界面801中提交选中的目标电话号码和目标业务套餐后，如图8所示，网上营业厅APP可跳转至界面901，在界面901中显示用于填写姓名902、身份证信息903以及住址904等用户身份认证信息的控件。当用户在界面901中填写了这些身份认证信息后可提交至BOSS系统，由BOSS系统对用户身份进行实名制认证。
当然，用户还可以将身份证的照片、或者用户的录音、视频指纹等信息作为用户身份的认证信息上传至网上营业厅APP，由网上营业厅APP将这些认证信息发送给BOSS系统进行实名制认证。
需要说明的是，上述实名制认证的过程也可以在用户选择目标电话号码和目标业务套餐之前进行，本申请对此不做任何限制。
S409、当用户通过实名制认证后，BOSS系统向eSIM服务器发送指示信息，用于指示eSIM服务器为用户生成eSIM卡的配置信息。
S410、eSIM服务器按照上述指示信息为用户生成eSIM卡的配置信息后，将该配置信息的索引发送给BOSS系统。
在步骤S409中，BOSS系统可根据接收到的身份认证信息对用户的身份进行认证，若通过认证，则说明当前请求开通eSIM卡账户的用户为合法用户。此时，BOSS系统可将用户通过上述步骤S404-S409与运营商签约的相关签约数据，例如待生成的profile的ICCID、签约数据的状态、需要分配的内存以及签约数据的管理策略等，携带在指示信息中发送给eSIM服务器，以指示eSIM服务器根据这些签约数据为用户生成准备开通的eSIM卡的配置信息(profile)。
进而，在步骤S410中，eSIM服务器接收到BOSS系统发送的指示信息后，可按 照该指示信息中携带的签约数据为用户的eSIM卡生成相应的配置信息，该配置信息中包含了运营商为用户提供eSIM服务所需的卡数据和卡应用的集合。
其中，eSIM服务器可基于《eSIM卡远程空中写号技术规范》中规定的profile生成规则生成上述eSIM卡的配置信息(profile)。例如，生成的eSIM卡的配置信息中可以包括IMSI，MSISDN、ICCID等，本申请实施例对此不做任何限制。
那么，eSIM服务器按照上述指示信息为用户生成eSIM卡的配置信息后，可将用于查找该配置信息的索引(例如MatchingID)发送给BOSS系统，该配置信息的索引用于指示配置信息在eSIM服务器中的存储位置，以便后续BOSS系统通知手机从eSIM服务器中下载已经生成的eSIM卡的配置信息。
S411、BOSS系统将用于下载上述配置信息的激活码发送给手机上正在运行的网上营业厅APP，该激活码包含eSIM服务器地址以及上述配置信息的索引。
在步骤S411中，BOSS系统接收到eSIM服务器发送来的索引后，说明eSIM服务器已为用户生成好eSIM卡的配置信息，进而，BOSS系统可将上述eSIM服务器的地址以及上述配置信息的索引编码成一个激活码(ActivationCode)发送给手机。其中，上述激活码的具体格式可由GSMA(全球移动运营商的共同关注和权益)协会提供的规范进行定义，本申请实施例对此不做任何限制。
S412、网上营业厅APP调用LPA应用提供的第二接口将上述激活码传递给LPA应用。
S413、LPA应用解析该激活码后得到eSIM服务器地址以及eSIM服务器为用户生成的eSIM卡的配置信息的索引。
在步骤S412中，手机接收到BOSS系统发送的激活码后，可将该激活码上报给发起eSIM卡开通请求的网上营业厅APP。由于网上营业厅APP不具有读写手机内eSIM卡的权限，而LPA应用具有读写手机内eSIM卡的权限，因此，网上营业厅APP可调用LPA应用提供的第二接口将BOSS系统发送的激活码传递给LPA应用。
其中，上述第二接口是LPA应用提供的用于将第三方应用(例如上述网上营业厅APP)获取到的激活码传递给LPA应用的接口。
例如，该第二接口具体可以为setActivationCode()接口，那么，网上营业厅APP可以通过执行：eSIMLPA.setActivationCode(String strActivationCode)将上述激活码传递给LPA应用。
进而，在步骤S413中，LPA应用得到上述激活码后可对该激活码进行解析，得到该激活码中携带的eSIM服务器地址(例如eSIM服务器的URL)以及eSIM服务器为eSIM卡生成的配置信息的索引。
当然，在本申请的另一些实施例中，也可以先由网上营业厅APP解析接收到的激活码后，进而调用上述第二接口将解析后该激活码中携带的eSIM服务器地址以及eSIM服务器为eSIM卡生成的配置信息的索引传递给LPA应用，本申请实施例对此不做任何限制。
S414、LPA应用按照上述eSIM服务器地址与eSIM服务器建立连接，并按照上述配置信息的索引在eSIM服务器中下载eSIM卡的配置信息。
S415、LPA应用将eSIM卡的配置信息写入手机内置的eSIM卡中。
在步骤S414-S415中，LPA应用得到eSIM服务器地址后便可根据该地址与eSIM服务器建立连接，进而，可按照配置信息的索引在eSIM服务器中查找到eSIM服务器为手机内eSIM卡生成的配置信息，并将该配置信息从eSIM服务器中下载至手机的存储器(例如手机的内存)，进而由LPA应用将该配置信息写入eSIM卡内，这样便可以使得手机内的eSIM卡与用户和用户在网上营业厅APP中签约的eSIM服务进行绑定。
此时，如图9所示，LPA应用将下载的配置信息写入eSIM卡后，可向网上营业厅APP返回已经成功下载配置信息的消息，此时，网上营业厅APP可跳转至界面1001向用户显示eSIM卡内的配置信息已经配置成功的消息，提示用户激活该eSIM卡的配置信息后即可开通eSIM服务。
S416、当检测到用户执行激活上述配置信息的激活操作后，LPA应用将上述配置信息设置为激活状态，终端可以使用激活的配置信息进行通信。
与传统SIM卡类似的，首次使用eSIM卡之前也需要激活eSIM卡。由于eSIM卡是可编程的，因此用户可与不同的运行商签约不同的业务，那么eSIM卡中可能存储有属于不同运营商的多个配置信息，而同一时间手机只允许eSIM卡中的一个配置信息被激活使用。
因此，仍如图9所示，网上营业厅APP在向用户显示上述下载的配置信息已配置成功的消息时，还可以在界面1001中设置一个用于激活刚下载的配置信息的激活链接1002。那么，如果检测到用户点击该激活链接1002，则如图10所示，手机可跳转至设置功能的eSIM卡管理器中，当检测到用户点击eSIM卡的激活按钮1003后，LPA应用可将上述步骤S415下载的配置信息设置为激活状态，此时eSIM卡可使用处于激活状态的配置信息为用户提供正常的eSIM服务。当然，用户还可以通过向运营商发送短信或拨打客服电话等方式激活eSIM卡中已下载的配置信息，本申请实施例对此不做任何限制。
同时，通过上述步骤S401-S416，用户通过网上营业厅APP便可在线完成上述eSIM卡的整个开通和激活流程，无需前往运营商的实体营业厅办理人工开户流程，从而简化了eSIM卡的开户流程和操作效率，提高用户对eSIM卡的使用体验。
