Description

一种通信连接的方法及电子设备
本申请要求于2019年12月28日提交中国专利局、申请号为201911384810.0、申请名称为“一种通信连接的方法及电子设备”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
本申请涉及电子技术领域，尤其涉及一种通信连接的方法及电子设备。
背景技术
随着通信行业的不断发展，消费者多卡多待的需求与日俱增。有的用户需要使用不同的手机卡号将生活与工作分开，有的用户需要使用不同的手机卡号将不同的公司业务分开，还有的用户需要使用不同的手机卡号将不同的生活场景分开。除此之外，为了使用不同运营商提供的多种多样的套餐及服务，消费者也有意愿同时使用多张不同的手机卡号。
目前电子设备中均是使用多个用户标识模块(subscriber identification module，SIM)卡槽部件，分别插入SIM卡来实现多卡多待。
即使随着技术的发展，出现了可以在一个嵌入式SIM(Embedded-SIM，eSIM)中下载多个Profile的技术方案，但电子设备也仅支持一个eSIM激活多个Profile的其中一个Profile进行使用。若要实现多卡多待，则同样需要在电子设备中安装多个SIM卡槽部件或eSIM，不仅成本较高，而且极大的占用了电子设备的布局空间。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供了一种通信连接的方法及电子设备，电子设备可支持根据一个eSIM中的多个Profile同时建立多个通信连接，仅需安装一个eSIM即可实现多卡多待，从而节省成本，减少对电子设备空间的占用。
第一方面，本申请提供了一种通信连接的方法，应用于具有eSIM的电子设备，该方法包括：电子设备根据第一Profile建立第一通信连接，该eSIM包含该第一Profile；响应于根据第二Profile建立通信连接的操作，在不终止该第一通信连接的情况下，该电子设备根据该第二Profile建立第二通信连接，该eSIM还包含该第二Profile，该第一Profile和该第二Profile不同。
实施第一方面提供的方法，电子设备在不终止根据一个eSIM中第一Profile建立的第一通信连接的情况下，可响应用户操作，根据该eSIM中与该第一Profile不同的第二Profile建立第二通信连接。在没有数据需要在这两个通信连接上收发的情况下，在这两个通信连接上待机，在有数据需要在这两个通信连接上发送的情况下，在相应的通信连接上收发数据。只需要使用一个eSIM，即可实现根据该eSIM中的多个Profile建立通信连接并待机使用，不再需要多个SIM卡槽或eSIM才能实现多卡多待，节省了成本，减少了对电子设备空间的占用。
结合第一方面，在一些实施例中，该电子设备根据该第二Profile建立第二通信连接后， 该方法还包括：该电子设备更新该第二Profile对应的eSIM条目中状态信息显示为已启用。
具体的，eSIM条目为Profile在电子设备的显示屏上的一种显示形式。该eSIM条目中可以包含有该Profile当前的状态信息，状态信息可以为已启用和已停用这两种状态的一种。其中已启用对应该Profile的激活状态，已停用对应该Profile的去激活状态。在状态信息的显示时，并不限于文字上仅显示已启用/已停用，也可以使用其他表示相同意思的文字显示，或者使用图形、图文结合的方式均可。
本申请实施例中，由于进行了根据第二Profile建立通信连接的操作，且电子设备响应于该操作建立了第二通信连接，所以为了向用户反馈电子设备的工作状态，电子设备可以更新该第二Profile对应的eSIM条目中状态信息显示为已启用。除此之外，该eSIM条目中还可以显示有该Profile所述的运营商，该Profile对应的手机号码等信息。
结合第一方面，在一些实施例中，该方法还包括：该电子设备显示第一指示信息，该第一指示信息用于指示该第一通信连接的信号强度；该电子设备显示第二指示信息，该第二指示信息用于指示该第二通信连接的信号强度。
具体的，在建立通信连接后，电子设备可以监测通信连接的信号强度，在显示屏上通过指示信息的方式显示出来，一方面便于用户查看建立的通信连接当前的信号强度，以便于选择使用哪个通信连接进行业务处理，另一方面，便于用户明确的知晓目前电子设备已经同时建立了多少个通信连接。
示例性的，该指示信息可以为信号强度指示符。该信号强度指示符随着监测到的通信连接的信号强度的强弱不同而更新显示。
结合第一方面，在一些实施例中，该电子设备根据该第二Profile建立第二通信连接，包括：该电子设备激活该第二Profile；该电子设备为该第二Profile分配IMEI，建立第二Profile的唯一标识与分配的第二IMEI的对应关系；该电子设备至少根据该第二IMEI建立该第二通信连接。
具体的，电子设备激活第二Profile可以为将第二Profile中的激活状态字段写为1。
具体的，电子设备为第二Profile分配IMEI后，将第二Profile的唯一标识与分配的第二IMEI的对应关系添加到了电子设备存储的Profile与IMEI的对应关系(例如Profile-IMEI数据表)中，在该对应关系中使用Profile的唯一标识来标志对应的Profile，而不是使用硬件部件SIM卡槽或eSIM与IMEI的对应关系。这样，在一个eSIM中激活有多个Profile时，电子设备还是可以通过存储的Profile与IMEI的对应关系，找到第二Profile的唯一标识，从而基于该第二Profile的唯一标识向该eSIM获取到存储在该eSIM的该第二Profile中的第二IMSI，将该第二IMEI与第二IMSI发送给第二基站，从而建立起第二通信连接。
下面对电子设备存储的Profile与IMEI的对应关系进行说明：
存储的Profile与IMEI的对应关系的表现形式并不限定，可以为Profile-IMEI数据表、可以为Profile-IMEI数组，也可以为Profile-IMEI函数等。该Profile与IMEI的对应关系中存储着Profile的唯一标识与为相应的Profile分配的IMEI的对应关系。
在电子设备激活一个Profile时，会为该Profile分配一个IMEI，然后将该Profile的唯一标识与该IMEI的对应关系添加到该存储的Profile与IMEI的对应关系中，以供后续使用。
可选的，在该Profile与IMEI的对应关系中，可以不仅包含Profile的唯一标识与为其 分配的IMEI的对应关系，还可以包含Profile的唯一标识与该Profile中的IMSI的对应关系，即电子设备从eSIM中读取出该Profile中的IMSI后，还可以将该IMSI与该Profile的对应关系添加到该Profile与IMEI的对应关系中，形成Profile、IMSI与IMEI的对应关系。
可选的，电子设备中还可以存储有Profile与硬件部件(SIM卡槽或eSIM)的对应关系，其中使用Profile的唯一标识来标志Profile，使用SIM卡槽或eSIM编号来标志硬件部件。使得电子设备根据Profile与IMEI的对应关系中的Profile的唯一标识，更容易的确定需要从哪个硬件部件获取到该Profile中的数据。
可选的，在一种实现方式中，在电子设备存储的Profile与IMEI的对应关系中，Profile的唯一标识可以为ICCID号或ISP-D号。
本申请实施例中，由于电子设备中存储的是Profile与IMEI的对应关系，因此，在为eSIM中激活的多个Profile分别分配了IMEI并记录在该对应关系中后，在需要建立通信连接时，电子设备可以根据该Profile与IMEI的对应关系，得到需要建立通信连接的Profile的唯一标识，从而从eSIM中获取到该Profile中的IMSI用于后续的通信连接的建立。
而不会像现有技术一样，由于只存储有硬件部件SIM卡槽或eSIM与IMEI的对应关系，因此，只能在一个eSIM中激活一个Profile。这样在需要建立通信连接时，才可以找到该eSIM获取当前激活的Profile中的IMSI。否则现有技术中若激活一个eSIM中的多个Profile，电子设备在向eSIM获取IMSI时，由于没有准确的信息标识，电子设备只知道要向哪个eSIM获取IMSI，但是无法获取到正确的IMSI用于后续通信连接的建立。
结合第一方面，本申请实施例中，电子设备根据第一Profile建立第一通信连接可能来自于不同情况的触发：
(1)可能第一Profile在本次电子设备开机前已经被启用并激活
在一些实施例中，在开机进行Profile状态加载的过程中，电子设备根据第一Profile建立第一通信连接，包括：该电子设备确定该第一Profile已激活；该电子设备确定与该第一Profile对应的第一IMEI；该电子设备将该第一IMEI与该第一Profile中的第一IMSI发送到第一基站，建立该第一通信连接。
具体的，该电子设备可以通过读取eSIM中各Profile的激活状态字段，确定其中第一Profile已激活。然后查找电子设备中存储的Profile与IMEI的对应关系(例如Profile-IMEI数据表)，确定在该对应关系中，与该第一Profile对应的第一IMEI。该第一IMEI为该第一Profile激活时，电子设备分配给该第一Profile的IMEI，并在分配之后将该第一Profile与第一IMEI的对应关系添加到了存储的Profile与IMEI的对应关系中。该电子设备还可以向eSIM获取到第一Profile中存储的第一IMSI，将该第一IMEI与该第一IMSI发送到第一基站，通过入网鉴权过程后，建立第一通信连接。
本申请实施例中，由于电子设备中存储有Profile与IMEI的对应关系，因此在开机Profile状态加载时，能准确的确定为已激活的Profile分配的IMEI。与此同时，也因为该Profile与IMEI的对应关系存在，因此能准确的确定IMEI对应的已激活的Profile的唯一标识，从而可以准确的向eSIM获取到确定的Profile中的IMSI，为在一个eSIM上同时激活多个Profile，并根据其中的Profile分别建立通信连接提供可行的方案。
(2)可能第一Profile是在本次电子设备开机之后才被启用的
在一些实施例中，电子设备根据第一Profile建立第一通信连接，包括：该电子设备激活该第一Profile；该电子设备为该第一Profile分配IMEI，建立第一Profile的唯一标识与分配的第一IMEI的对应关系；该电子设备将该第一IMEI与该第一Profile中的第一IMSI发送到第一基站，建立该第一通信连接。
具体的，电子设备激活第一Profile后，为该第一Profile分配IMEI，并将第一Profile的唯一标识与分配的第一IMEI的对应关系添加到存储在电子设备中的Profile与IMEI的对应关系中。然后电子设备可以向第一Profile获取到第一Profile中存储的第一IMSI，将该第一IMEI与该第一IMSI发送到第一基站，通过入网鉴权过程后，建立第一通信连接。

具体实施方式
本申请以下实施例中所使用的术语只是为了描述特定实施例的目的，而并非旨在作为对本申请的限制。如在本申请的说明书和所附权利要求书中所使用的那样，单数表达形式“一个”、“一种”、“所述”、“上述”、“该”和“这一”旨在也包括复数表达形式，除非其上下文中明确地有相反指示。还应当理解，本申请中使用的术语“和/或”是指并包含一个或多个所列出项目的任何或所有可能组合。
以下，术语“第一”、“第二”仅用于描述目的，而不能理解为暗示或暗示相对重要性或者隐含指明所指示的技术特征的数量。由此，限定有“第一”、“第二”的特征可以明示或者隐含地包括一个或者更多个该特征，在本申请实施例的描述中，除非另有说明，“多个”的含义是两个或两个以上。
由于本申请实施例涉及多卡多待及eSIM的应用，为了便于理解，下面先对本申请实施例涉及的相关术语及多卡多待等相关概念进行介绍。
(1)SIM卡
SIM卡包括微处理器(CPU)、程序存储器(ROM)、工作存储器(RAM)、数据存储器(EEPROM)，以及串行通信单元。在SIM卡使用过程中，实际上是电子设备向SIM卡发出了命令，SIM卡根据标准规范来执行并反馈结果。
SIM卡中存储的数据可分为四类：
1、固定数据。这类数据在被出售之前由SIM卡中心写入，包括国际移动用户识别号(International Mobile Subscriber Identity，IMSI)、鉴权密钥(Ki)等；
2、临时数据。指的是网络相关的临时数据，如位置区域识别码(Local Area Identity，LAI)、移动用户暂时识别码(Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity，TMSI)、禁止接入的公共电话网代码等；
3、业务代码，如个人识别码(PIN)、解锁码(PUK)、计费费率等；
4、电话本、短消息等用户记录。
为便于统一描述及理解，本申请实施例在后续描述中，将一个SIM卡中存储的数据统称为一个Profile。
(2)IMSI
IMSI是用于区分蜂窝网络中不同用户的、在所有蜂窝网络中不重复的识别码。
(3)国际移动设备识别码(International Mobile Equipment Identity，IMEI)
IMEI即通常所说的手机序列号、手机“串号”，用于在移动电话网络中识别每一部独立的手机等移动通信设备，相当于移动电话的身份证。IMEI由设备商根据规范分配，在电子设备出厂时即存储在电子设备的存储器中。
(4)使用SIM卡的入网鉴权过程
1、电子设备开机时，从SIM卡中读取IMSI；
2、电子设备将IMSI与存储器中的IMEI发送给移动网络；
3、移动网络生成一组随机数(RADN)发送给电子设备；
4、电子设备将该RADN发送给SIM卡；
5、SIM卡根据RADN和Ki算出结果1(SENS-1)，发送给电子设备；
6、电子设备将SENS-1发送给移动网络；
7、与此同时，移动网络从数据库中找到与此IMSI对应的Ki，并使用相同的RAND、相同算法计算出结果2(SENS-2)，并比较SENS-1是否与SENS-2相同；
8、若相同，则移动网络确认这个卡是自己发出的合法的卡，鉴权成功，允许其登陆。否则鉴权失败。
(5)使用SIM卡的通信加密过程
在上述鉴权过程的第3步中，移动网络发送RAND给电子设备时，电子设备还会让SIM卡对RAND和Ki计算出另一个密钥(Kc)以供全程通信加密使用。
由于通信加密计算量较大，而SIM卡的运算速度一般不够快，因此所有通信过程中的加密都是由电子设备来完成。
(6)eSIM
eSIM，又称嵌入式通用集成电路卡(Embedded-Universal Integrated Circuit Card，eUICC)。eSIM直接固定安装在电子设备中，它是可编程的，支持通过空中写卡(OTA)进行远程配置，实现运营商Profile的下载、安装、激活、去激活及删除。一个eSIM可以下载多个Profile，从而实现灵活选择多家运营商及不同的卡号。除了通过远程下载的方式，eSIM中也可以包含在电子设备出厂时预先预置的Profile。
其中，Profile包含用户识别信息，即用户身份、认证参数、运营商定制参数等信息和业务签约信息，与传统SIM卡中包含的数据类似。
如图1所示为本申请实施例提供的示例性eSIM的逻辑功能架构图。
·基本平台上的eUICC操作系统提供普通的嵌入式SIM卡操作系统的基础功能。
·平台管理服务用于提供平台管理功能、检索ISD-P通用信息以及通过策略控制来维 护策略执行机制。
·电信框架用于为Profile提供标准化的网络认证算法。算法由存储在ISD-P中的Profile的网络接入应用(NAA)进行网络接入认证时调用。
·在基本平台之上的ECASD为eUICC的控制安全域。
·ISD-P为Profile安全域，为芯片外实体远程管理平台数据准备(SM-DP)在芯片内的代表。一个eSIM中可以有多个ISD-P。
·ISD-R为根安全域，为芯片外实体远程管理平台数据路由(SM-SR)在芯片内的代表。
·MNO-SD为运营商安全域。
(7)远程管理平台
如图2所示为本申请实施例提供的示例性远程管理平台与其他通信角色的关系示意图。
其中，远程管理平台用于从移动网络运营商系统内获取数据，建立和eSIM之间的安全传输通道。远程管理平台可以与多个运营商互联，也可以与多个远程管理平台互联。涉及运营商和eSIM制造商的数据，经由远程管理平台生成完整的运营商数据文件Profile，然后经运营商OTA接口通过OTA方式下载到eSIM中。
远程管理平台中包括两个重要模块：
数据准备(SM-DP)：负责eSIM远程配置的Profile生成、存储和下载。
数据路由(SM-SR)：负责eSIM远程配置数据的安全传输和管理。
(8)远程服务提供商(Remote Service Provider，RSP)服务器
RSP服务器为电子设备与远程管理平台的具体通信服务器。
可以理解的是，由于用户可能使用属于不同运营商的Profile，而不同运营商也可能使用不同主体的远程管理平台，因此，电子设备使用不同的Profile时，可能与不同的RSP服务器进行通信。具体与哪个RSP服务器通信来对Profile进行管理，取决于eSIM制造商、远程管理平台以及运营商之间的协议，需根据实际情况而定，本申请实施例中不作限定。
(9)本地Profile管理助手(Local Profile Assistant，LPA)
LPA用于在电子设备上对eSIM进行管理，主要包括如下功能：
·从远程管理平台获取SM-DP登记的关于本地eSIM中Profile的事件记录；
·从SM-DP获取Profile，转移到eSIM中；
·面向用户提供Profile管理功能，包括Profile的激活、去激活、删除等。
(10)多卡多待
早期的多卡手机虽然能够同时插两张SIM卡，但实际上同一时刻可用的只有一张SIM卡，由硬件电路来实现两张卡的切换。因为协议栈的影响，在工作状态中不能实现两张SIM卡的动态切换。在开机状态选择切换卡时，则需要重新启动手机系统(主要是启动手机协 议栈/上层软件等等)，此时的手机被称为双卡单待系统。双卡单待系统只拥有一套硬件收发模块(基带芯片、射频芯片和天线)以及一套协议栈。双卡单待系统同一时间实际有用的只有一个SIM卡，没有启动的SIM卡处于关机状态，不能接收到呼叫等信息。
在同样只使用一套硬件收发模块的情况下，通过对协议栈的调配(使用多套协议栈密切配合，或者使一套协议栈实现更复杂的切换功能)，使用时分复用技术，将时间分割成足够小的资源，按业务需要分给多个Profile做业务，最大化地利用天线资源，这样，电子设备上的多个Profile都能同时处于待机状态，分别接收呼叫等信息或进行数据业务处理。
如图3所示，为本申请实施例一个双卡双待数据发送示意图，虽然只有一套硬件收发模块，但是通过时分复用技术，可以将根据Profile1和Profile2建立的通信连接上需要发送的数据都通过这一套硬件收发模块发送了出去，由于时间分割的足够小，因此，在一个相对长的时间维度上来看，可以认为在根据这两个Profile建立的通信连接上同时发送了数据。Profile1和Profile2可以存储在同一个eSIM中，也可以存储在不同的eSIM中。
根据时分复用技术的使用程度，一套硬件收发模块可以维持对根据更多个Profile建立的通信连接，并收发数据，此处不作限定。
如图4所述，为本申请实施例一个三卡三待数据发送示意图，通过在一套硬件收发模块上使用时分复用技术，可以将根据Profile1、Profile2和Profile3建立的通信连接上需要发送的数据都通过这一套硬件收发模块发送了出去。Profile1、Profile2和Profile3可以存储在同一个eSIM中，也可以存储在不同的eSIM中
在具有多套硬件收发模块的情况下，同时启用的多个Profile可以分别使用这多套硬件收发模块进行通信连接并收发数据。如图5所示，为本申请实施例另一个双卡双待数据发送示意图，此时电子设备中具有两套硬件收发模块。按照预先配置的硬件收发模块使用规则，硬件收发模块1负责维持根据Profile1建立的通信连接，并收发数据，硬件收发模块2负责维持根据Profile2建立的通信连接，并收发数据。
在具有多套硬件收发模块，但是启用的Profile数目大于硬件收发模块的数目时，也可以通过预先阈值的对应关系，在需要同时维持多个通信连接的硬件收发模块上使用时分复用技术，来实现对多个通信连接的同时待机及数据收发。如图6所示，为本申请实施例另一个三卡三待数据发送示意图，此时电子设备中具有两套硬件收发模块，但是同时启用了3个Profile，需要同时维持根据这3个Profile建立的3个通信连接并发送数据。按照预先配置的硬件收发模块使用规则，硬件收发模块1负责维持根据Profile1和Profile2建立的通信连接，并收发数据。硬件收发模块2负责维持根据Profile3建立的通信连接，并收发数据。因此，硬件收发模块1使用时分复用技术，将Profile1和Profile2对应的通信连接上需要发送的数据都通过硬件收发模块1发送了出去，硬件收发模块2将Profile3对应的通信连接上需要发送的数据通过硬件收发模块2发送了出去。
需要说明的是，在现有技术中，由于无法在同一个eSIM中同时启用多个Profile，因此现有技术中同时启用的多个Profile均来源于多个不同的硬件部件。例如，同时启用的2个Profile可能为分别启用一个SIM卡槽中SIM卡的Profile以及一个eSIM中的一个Profile。同时启用的3个Profile为分别启用一个SIM卡槽中SIM卡的Profile以及2个eSIM中的各一个Profile。
而本申请实施例中，可以同时启用同一个eSIM芯片中的多个Profile，因此，同时启用的多个Profile可以来自于同一个硬件部件。例如，同时启用的2个Profile可以为启用同一个eSIM中不同的2个Profile，同时启用的3个Profile同理可以为启用同一个eSIM中不同的3个Profile。
(11)电子设备最多能同时启用并待机的Profile数量
根据对上面多卡多待技术的介绍，可以理解的是，电子设备最多能同时启用并待机的Profile数量在电子设备出厂时即为一个固定值。其与电子设备具有的硬件收发模块的套数以及电子设备在一套硬件收发模块上使用时分复用技术的程度(取决于协议栈内容和数目)均有关。
例如，若一个电子设备仅具有一套硬件收发模块，但是根据与其相关的协议栈的调配，该套硬件收发模块最多能同时维持3个通信连接，则认为该电子设备最多能同时启用并待机的Profile数量为3。再如，若一个电子设备具有2套硬件收发模块，但是根据与其相关的协议栈的调配，其中一套硬件收发模块仅能同时维持1个通信连接，另一套硬件收发模块仅能同时维持2个通信连接，则认为该电子设备最多能同时启用并待机的Profile数量也仅为3。
根据该电子设备最多能同时启用并待机的Profile数量，电子设备厂商会在该电子设备中预置相应数目的IMEI。
为便于描述及理解，在本申请实施例的一些实施例中，会将该电子设备最多能同时启用并待机的Profile数量称呼为预置阈值，在实际应用中，其还可以有其他种不同的称呼，此处不作限定。

下面结合本申请实施例中电子设备100的硬件结构，如图8-图10所示，对本申请实施例电子设备100中移动通信模块150包含有不同数目的硬件收发模块的情况下，启用多个Profile，需要根据这多个Profile建立多个通信连接时，电子设备100为Profile分配IMEI，以及为需要建立的通信连接分配硬件收发模块的过程进行描述，本申请文件中的硬件收发 模块可以为射频接收和发送电路。
可以理解的是，内部存储器121中存储有电子设备最多能同时启用并待机的Profile数量相应数目的待分配的IMEI。此外，内部存储器121中还存储有两套对应关系：一套对应关系为Profile激活时，为Profile分配的IMEI的对应关系，为便于描述，以下称为Profile-IMEI对应关系；另一套对应关系为分配硬件收发模块的配置，即IMEI与硬件收发模块的对应关系，为便于描述，以下称为IMEI-收发模块对应关系。这两套对应关系在内部存储器121中的表现形式可以为多种，例如数据表、数组、函数等等，此处不作限定。此外，这些对应关系可以位于一处表示，也可以分别存储于多处表示，此处不作限定。
作为一种实施方式，Profile和IMEI的对应关系可以不是固定不变的，是可以发生变化的。例如Profile1激活时，分配Profile1和IMEI2对应；然后用户将Profile1去激活，使Profile1由激活变为非激活，之后激活Profile2，可以分配Profile2和IMEI2对应。Profile和IMEI的对应关系发生变化之后，更新存储器中存储的Profile和IMEI的对应关系。
IMEI和硬件收发模块的对应关系也可以不是固定不变的，是可以发生变化的。IMEI和硬件收发模块的对应关系变化之后，更新存储器中存储的IMEI-收发模块对应关系。
以下以这两套对应关系在内部存储器121中分别以数据表的表现形式来存储为例，来进行说明：
下面结合具体的分配场景为例，先对Profile-IMEI对应关系进行描述，在一些实现方式中，将存储有该Profile-IMEI对应关系的数据表称为Profile-IMEI数据表：
假设电子设备最多能同时启用并待机的Profile数量为3，内部存储器121中内置了3个IMEI，分别为：IMEI1，IMEI2，IMEI3。电子设备100中有一个SIM卡接口195，其中插入了一张SIM，卡中包含Profile1。电子设备100中有一个eSIM196，eSIM196中下载安装了3个Profile，分别为Profile2、Profile3、Profile4。其中，Profile2已激活。则如下表1所示，为此时内部存储器121中一个Profile-IMEI数据表的示例，其中，已存储了Profile2的唯一标识与为其分配的IMEI2的对应关系：
IMEI Profile的唯一标识
IMEI2 Profile2的唯一标识
表1
当Profile3激活，需要为Profile3分配IMEI时，至少可以有以下几种方式：
1、随机分配
从还未分配的IMEI1与IMEI3中随机选择一个(例如IMEI3)，分配给该Profile3，并记录在Profile-IMEI数据表中。则如下表2所示，为此时内部存储器121中一个Profile-IMEI数据表的示例：
IMEI Profile的唯一标识
IMEI2 Profile2的唯一标识
IMEI3 Profile3的唯一标识
表2
2、按数值大小顺序分配
按数值大小顺序从还未分配的IMEI1与IMEI3中选择数值大小较小的IMEI1，分配给该Profile3，并记录在Profile-IMEI数据表中。则如下表3所示，为此时内部存储器121中一个Profile-IMEI数据表的示例：
IMEI Profile的唯一标识
IMEI2 Profile2的唯一标识
IMEI1 Profile3的唯一标识
表3
3、按先入先出的顺序分配
在这种分配方式中，待分配的IMEI均存储在一个栈中，遵循后入先出原则。若IMEI3为一个已激活的Profile去激活后最新被释放的IMEI，则IMEI3被存储到该栈的栈顶。此时Profile3被激活，则IMEI3最先出栈，被分配给该Profile3，并记录在Profile-IMEI数据表中。其一种示例可以如上表2所示。
4、按最近分配历史记录优先分配
在这种分配方式中，内部存储器121中还有一个最近分配历史记录表，记录了最近一次为该Profile分配的IMEI，该表的一种表现形式可以如下表4所示：
Profile的唯一标识 最近一次分配的IMEI
Profile1的唯一标识 IMEI1
Profile2的唯一标识 IMEI2
Profile3的唯一标识 IMEI3
Profile4的唯一标识 IMEI1
表4
当Profile3被激活时，电子设备查找该最近分配历史记录表，得到最近一次Profile3激活时分配的IMEI为IMEI3，电子设备确定IMEI3当前未分配，将IMEI3分配给激活的Profile3，并记录在Profile-IMEI数据表中。其一种表现形式的示例可以如上表2所示。
在一种可能的情况中，有可能最近分配历史记录表中记录的Profile3最近一次分配的IMEI当前已被分配，例如若最近分配历史记录表如下表5所示：
Profile的唯一标识 最近一次分配的IMEI
Profile1的唯一标识 IMEI1
Profile2的唯一标识 IMEI2
Profile3的唯一标识 IMEI2
Profile4的唯一标识 IMEI3
表5
Profile2最近一次分配的IMEI为IMEI2，而IMEI2当前已被分配给了已激活的Profile2，则此时电子设备可以采取其他的分配方式(例如上述各种分配方式中的一种)将一个未分配的IMEI分配给Profile2，并更新最近分配历史记录表。
例如，电子设备在确定Profile3最近一次分配的IMEI2已被分配的情况下，使用随机分配的方式将IMIE3分配给激活的Profile3，并记录在Profile-IMEI数据表中。其一种示例可以如上表2所示。并更新最近分配历史记录表为如下表6所示：
Profile的唯一标识 最近一次分配的IMEI
Profile1的唯一标识 IMEI1
Profile2的唯一标识 IMEI2
Profile3的唯一标识 IMEI3
Profile4的唯一标识 IMEI3
表6
5、按Profile-IMEI数据表中空闲IMEI顺序优先分配
在这种分配方式中，Profile去激活后，电子设备不会清除该Profile-IMEI数据表中IMEI的记录，而只是会清除Profile的唯一标识记录。例如下表7所示，为此时内部存储器121中一个Profile-IMEI数据表的示例：
IMEI Profile的唯一标识
IMEI1  
IMEI2 Profile2的唯一标识
IMEI3  
表7
在此之前，Profile1、Profile2、Profile3同时启用，分别被分配了IMEI1、IMEI2、IMEI3。在Profile1、Profile3去激活后，Profile1、Profile3的唯一标识在Profile-IMEI数据表中被删除，但是IMEI1与IMEI3并未被删除。当有新的Profile3被激活时，确定Profile-IMEI数据表中有空值，则直接按顺序将Profile3的唯一标识记录到IMEI1对应的位置，得到如下表8所示的Profile-IMEI数据表的一个示例：
IMEI Profile的唯一标识
IMEI1 Profile3的唯一标识
IMEI2 Profile2的唯一标识
IMEI3  
表8
若新的Profile3被激活时，确定Profile-IMEI数据表中没有空值，则再采取其他的分配方式(例如上述各种分配方式中的一种)将一个未分配的IMEI分配给Profile3。
除了上述分配方式之外，根据预先设定，电子设备还可以采用其他的分配方式，例如历史匹配次数最多优先分配、先入后出顺序分配等等，此处不作限定。
在一种可选实现方式中，该Profile-IMEI数据表中并不仅限于记录IMEI与Profile的唯一标识两者之间的对应关系，还可以记录更多数据之间的对应关系以便于后续过程中的直接调用。例如，该Profile-IMEI数据表还可以为IMEI、Profile的唯一标识以及IMSI之间的对应关系。如下表9所示，为此时Profile-IMEI数据表的一个示例，其中，已存储了的Profile2的唯一标识、Profile2中的IMSI2与为其分配的IMEI2的对应关系：
IMEI Profile的唯一标识 IMSI
IMEI2 Profile2的唯一标识 IMSI2
表9
可以理解的是，在这种可选的Profile-IMEI数据表的实现方式中，也可以根据需要采 用上述的各种不同的分配IMEI的方式，此处不作限定。
下面结合具体的移动通信模块150包含不同数目的硬件收发模块的场景为例，对根据IMEI-收发模块对应关系进行硬件收发模块分配的过程进行描述，在一些实现方式中，将存储有该IMEI-收发模块对应关系的数据表称为IMEI-收发模块数据表：
情况1：仅有一套硬件收发模块
如图8所示，为本申请实施例中分配硬件收发模块一个示意图。在这种情况下，在SIM卡接口195中插入的SIM中的Profile1、eSIM196中Profile2和Profile3均被启用，根据该Profile1、Profile2和Profile3建立通信连接时，处理器110根据内部存储器121中存储的Profile-IMEI数据表中的对应关系分别分配IMEI，并根据内部存储器121中存储的默认配置(该默认配置可以表现为图8中所示的IMEI-收发模块数据表)，处理器110会在移动通信模块150中仅有的那一套硬件收发模块1的能力范围内，分配该硬件收发模块1进行通信连接的建立、维持及数据收发工作，Profile1、Profile2和Profile3进行分时通信连接。
情况2：有N套硬件收发模块且电子设备最多能同时启用并待机的Profile数量为N
可以理解的是，在这种情况下，每个被启用的Profile均会分配到单独的一个硬件收发模块。内部存储器121存储的IMEI-收发模块数据表中有N个IMEI与N个硬件收发模块的对应关系。当一个Profile被启用并激活后，处理器110会给该Profile分配IMEI，根据为该Profile分配的IMEI，处理器110会按照内部存储器121存储的IMEI与硬件收发模块的对应关系，分配相应的硬件收发模块为该Profle进行通信连接的建立、维持及数据收发工作。
如图9所示，为本申请实施例中分配硬件收发模块另一个示意图。以电子设备中有3套硬件收发模块且电子设备最多能同时启用并待机的Profile数量为3为例，此时内部存储器121中内置有3个IMEI(IMEI1、IMEI2、IMEI3)分别与3个硬件收发模块(硬件收发模块1、硬件收发模块2、硬件收发模块3)的对应关系，SIM卡接口195插入的SIM卡中的Profile1激活后，由于为该Profile1分配的IMEI为IMEI2，内部存储器121存储的与IMEI2对应的硬件收发模块为硬件收发模块2，因此，分配使用硬件收发模块2为该Profle1进行通信连接的建立、维持及数据收发工作。eSIM196中的Profile2激活后，由于为该Profile2分配的IMEI为IMEI1，内部存储器121存储的与IMEI1对应的硬件收发模块为硬件收发模块1，因此，分配使用硬件收发模块1为该Profle2进行通信连接的建立、维持及数据收发工作。eSIM196中的Profile3激活后，由于为该Profile3分配的IMEI为IMEI3，内部存储器121存储的与IMEI1对应的硬件收发模块为硬件收发模块3，因此，分配使用硬件收发模块3为该Profle3进行通信连接的建立、维持及数据收发工作。
情况3：有N套硬件收发模块且电子设备最多能同时启用并待机的Profile数量大于N
在此种情况下，每套硬件收发模块有最多能同时维持的通信连接的上限数目。当有Profile启用，需要建立通信连接时，电子设备100可以根据各硬件收发模块的能力以及当前各硬件收发模块的状态，让当前有能力维持更多通信连接的硬件收发模块建立该通信连接。按照预先配置的硬件收发模块使用规则，分配建立该通信连接的硬件收发模块的方式可以有多种，例如按照空闲顺序分配、随机分配、历史记录分配等，各种分配方式可参考 为Profile分配IMEI的各种方式，此处不作赘述，具体使用何种分配方式此处不作限定。
下面以电子设备100具有2套硬件收发模块，且电子设备最多能同时启用并待机的Profile数量为3为例，对本情况中分配建立通信连接的硬件收发模块进行示例性描述。如图10所示，硬件收发模块1支持建立及维持1个通信连接，硬件收发模块2支持建立及维持2个通信连接。根据SIM卡接口195插入的SIM卡中的Profile1建立通信连接时，查询内部存储器121中Profile-IMEI数据表，确定为Profile1分配的IMEI为IMEI1，查询内部存储器121中IMEI-收发模块数据表，确定为IMEI1分配的硬件收发模块为硬件收发模块1，因此，使用硬件收发模块1为该Profle1进行通信连接的建立、维持及数据收发工作。根据eSIM196中的Profile2建立通信连接时，查询内部存储器121中Profile-IMEI数据表，确定为Profile2分配的IMEI为IMEI2，查询内部存储器121中IMEI-收发模块数据表，确定为IMEI2分配的硬件收发模块为硬件收发模块2，因此，使用硬件收发模块2为该Profle2进行通信连接的建立、维持及数据收发工作。根据eSIM196中的Profile3建立通信连接时，查询内部存储器121中Profile-IMEI数据表，确定为Profile3分配的IMEI为IMEI3，查询内部存储器121中IMEI-收发模块数据表，确定为IMEI3分配的硬件收发模块也为硬件收发模块2，因此，使用硬件收发模块2为该Profle3进行通信连接的建立、维持及数据收发工作。
电子设备100的软件系统可以采用分层架构，事件驱动架构，微核架构，微服务架构，或云架构。本发明实施例以分层架构的Android系统为例，示例性说明电子设备100的软件结构。
图11是本发明实施例的电子设备100的软件结构框图。
分层架构将软件分成若干个层，每一层都有清晰的角色和分工。层与层之间通过软件接口通信。在一些实施例中，将Android系统分为四层，从上至下分别为应用程序层，应用程序框架层，安卓运行时(Android runtime)和系统库，以及内核层。
应用程序层可以包括一系列应用程序包。
如图11所示，应用程序包可以包括SIM卡管理和/或eSIM管理，相机，图库，日历，通话，地图，导航，WLAN，蓝牙，音乐，视频，短信息等应用程序(也可以称为应用)。
应用程序框架层为应用程序层的应用程序提供应用编程接口(application programming interface，API)和编程框架。应用程序框架层包括一些预先定义的函数。
如图11所示，应用程序框架层可以包括窗口管理器，内容提供器，视图系统，电话管理器，资源管理器，通知管理器，本地Profile管理助手(Local Profile Assistant，LPA)等。
窗口管理器用于管理窗口程序。窗口管理器可以获取显示屏大小，判断是否有状态栏，锁定屏幕，截取屏幕等。
内容提供器用来存放和获取数据，并使这些数据可以被应用程序访问。所述数据可以包括视频，图像，音频，拨打和接听的电话，浏览历史和书签，电话簿等。
视图系统包括可视控件，例如显示文字的控件，显示图片的控件等。视图系统可用于构建应用程序。显示界面可以由一个或多个视图组成的。例如，包括短信通知图标的显示界面，可以包括显示文字的视图以及显示图片的视图。
电话管理器用于提供电子设备100的通信功能。例如通话状态的管理(包括接通，挂断等)。
资源管理器为应用程序提供各种资源，比如本地化字符串，图标，图片，布局文件，视频文件等等。
通知管理器使应用程序可以在状态栏中显示通知信息，可以用于传达告知类型的消息，可以短暂停留后自动消失，无需用户交互。比如通知管理器被用于告知下载完成，消息提醒等。通知管理器还可以是以图表或者滚动条文本形式出现在系统顶部状态栏的通知，例如后台运行的应用程序的通知，还可以是以对话界面形式出现在屏幕上的通知。例如在状态栏提示文本信息，发出提示音，电子设备振动，指示灯闪烁等。
LPA用于提供电子设备100对eSIM196中存储的Profile的操作功能。
安卓运行时(Android Runtime)包括核心库和虚拟机。Android runtime负责安卓系统的调度和管理。
核心库包含两部分：一部分是java语言需要调用的功能函数，另一部分是安卓的核心库。
应用程序层和应用程序框架层运行在虚拟机中。虚拟机将应用程序层和应用程序框架层的java文件执行为二进制文件。虚拟机用于执行对象生命周期的管理，堆栈管理，线程管理，安全和异常的管理，以及垃圾回收等功能。

内核层是硬件和软件之间的层。内核层至少包含显示驱动，摄像头驱动，音频驱动，传感器驱动，虚拟卡驱动。
下面结合捕获拍照场景，示例性说明电子设备100软件以及硬件的工作流程。
当触摸传感器180K接收到触摸操作，相应的硬件中断被发给内核层。内核层将触摸操作加工成原始输入事件(包括触摸坐标，触摸操作的时间戳等信息)。原始输入事件被存储在内核层。应用程序框架层从内核层获取原始输入事件，识别该输入事件所对应的控件。以该触摸操作是触摸单击操作，该单击操作所对应的控件为相机应用图标的控件为例，相机应用调用应用框架层的接口，启动相机应用，进而通过调用内核层启动摄像头驱动，通过摄像头193捕获静态图像或视频。
在现有技术中，若一个电子设备支持双待，且具有存储有多个Profile的eSIM和插入了一张SIM卡的SIM卡槽。eSIM中的一个Profile已经被启用，此时，用户需要进行启用另一个Profile的操作时，用户对电子设备的操作过程可以参考如图12a、图12b、图12c、 图12d、图12e、图12f。
如图12a所示，电子设备显示了用户界面51，其中，用户界面51包括状态栏511和设置区域512。设置区域512中包含多个设置项，该多个设置项中包括：SIM卡管理513和eSIM管理514。
当检测到在如图12a所示的用户界面51中SIM卡管理513上的点击操作时，响应于该操作，电子设备显示如图12b所示的用户界面52。用户界面52的SIM卡管理区域中显示有一个SIM卡条目521，该SIM卡条目显示该SIM卡的当前状态为已停用。
当检测到在如图12c所示的用户界面51中eSIM管理514上的点击操作时，响应于该操作，电子设备显示如图12d所示的用户界面53。用户界面53的eSIM管理区域中显示有4个eSIM条目，分别对应电子设备的eSIM中下载的4个Profile。其中eSIM条目531对应的Profile为已启用状态，其他3个eSIM条目对应的Profile均为已停用状态。
当检测到在如图12d所示的用户界面53中eSIM条目532上的点击操作时，响应于该操作，电子设备显示如图12e所示的用户界面54。用户界面54中包括多个对eSIM条目532对应的Profile的操作控件，其中包括是否启用控件541。该是否启用控件541当前为关闭状态。
当检测到在如图12e所示的用户界面54中否启用控件541上的点击操作时，响应于该操作，如图12f所示，电子设备会在用户界面54上弹出提示框542。该提示框542中显示有文本信息：“一个eSIM仅能启用一个卡，请先停用已启用的卡”以及确定控件543。
当检测到在如图12f所示的提示框542中确定控件543上的点击操作时，响应于该操作，电子设备回到显示如图12d所示的用户界面53。eSIM条目532对应的Profile无法被启用，依然为已停用状态。
由上述图12a、图12b、图12c、图12d、图12e、图12f所示的现有技术可以看出，在eSIM中一个Profile已经启用的情况下，即使电子设备支持双待且SIM卡槽中的SIM卡未启用，电子设备也不支持激活eSIM中另一个Profile。这样，若需要多卡多待，则电子设备中需要至少安装多个SIM卡槽和/或eSIM，不仅成本较高，而且占用了电子设备中极大的空间，增大了电子设备的重量和厚度。本申请实施例提供的一种通信连接的方法，在根据一个eSIM中的第一Profile建立了第一通信连接，且不终止该第一通信连接的情况下，电子设备还可以接受用户进行的根据该eSIM中第二Profile建立通信连接的操作，根据该第二Profile建立第二通信连接，使得电子设备同时在该eSIM中的第一Profile和第二Profile上待机，这样，电子设备可支持在一个eSIM中同时激活多个Profile进行使用，仅需安装一个eSIM即可实现多卡多待，从而节省了成本，减少了对电子设备空间的占用。
应用场景1：针对上述问题，本申请实施例提供了如图13所示的通信连接的方法，可以在第一eSIM中第一Profile激活的情况下，激活第一eSIM中的第二Profile，使电子设备同时根据一个eSIM中的多个Profile分别建立多个通信连接，在该多个通信连接上待机。
如图13所示，该通信连接的方法包含步骤S601～S625。其中S601～S607介绍Profile状态加载过程；S608～S618介绍启用新的第二Profile的处理过程；S619～S625介绍停用第一Profile的处理过程。以下分别进行描述：
(一)步骤S601～S607，Profile状态加载过程
S601、电子设备响应用户操作，开机；
S602、电子设备开机后，从第一eSIM获取并显示Profile状态，其中，第一eSIM中的第一Profile已激活；
第一eSIM可以为电子设备中唯一的一个eSIM，也可以为电子设备中多个eSIM中的其中一个，此处不作限定。
可以理解的是，第一eSIM中的Profile，可以是预装在该eSIM中的，也可以是从远程管理平台下载的，此处不作限定。
在一种实现方式中，在电子设备上一般可以通过用户界面中，位于eSIM管理区域的eSIM条目上的状态指示符，来显示对应于该eSIM条目的Profile的状态信息。显示的Profile状态一般可以有两种：已启用和已停用。其中已启用状态对应的是该Profile已被激活。已停用状态对应的是该Profile已被去激活或已被下载安装还未被激活。该Profile对应的eSIM条目上除了显示用于指示该Profile当前状态的状态指示符外，还可以显示有该Profile的其他相关信息，例如该Profile所属的运营商、该Profile对应的手机号等，此处不作限定。电子设备可以通过LPA读取eSIM中已下载安装的Profile信息，并通过各Profile文件中的状态字段(例如Profilestate字段)来确定各Profile当前的激活状态。
示例性的，若电子设备通过LPA确定第一eSIM中已下载安装了4个Profile：Profile1、Profile2、Profile3、Profile4，且分别读取4个Profile的Profilestate字段的值，得到了Profile1的Profilestate字段值为enabled(1)，Profile2、Profile3、Profile4的Profilestate字段值均为disabled(0)，则电子设备确定Profile1已激活，Profile2、Profile3、Profile4未激活。进而在各Profile对应的eSIM条目的状态指示符上，显示Profile1的状态为已启用，Profile2、Profile3、Profile4的状态为已停用，确定Profile1已激活。
S603、电子设备从第一eSIM的第一Profile中读取第一IMSI；
第一eSIM的第一Profile中包含有运营商分发的IMSI及Ki等身份识别信息，在确定第一Profile已激活后，电子设备可以通过LPA读取第一eSIM中第一Profile的第一IMSI。该第一IMSI用于在通讯过程中，移动网络唯一识别该第一Profile。
S604、电子设备查找Profile-IMEI对应关系，得到为第一Profile分配的第一IMEI；
当电子设备中有Profile激活时，电子设备会给该激活的Profile分配IMEI，然后将被分配的IMEI与该激活的Profile的对应关系在Profile-IMEI对应关系中记录，并在内部存储器中存储，关于Profile-IMEI对应关系的分配和存储的具体描述，请参阅前述图8至图10所示的描述，此处不作赘述。
Profile-IMEI对应关系中，Profile使用Profile的唯一标识来表示。使用何种唯一标识来唯一确定一个Profile，由Profile的远程服务提供商、移动网络运营商、eSIM制造商以及电子设备制造商确定。可选的，可以使用集成电路卡识别码(Integrate circuit card identity，ICCID)作为Profile的唯一标识；也可以使用ISD-P号作为Profile的唯一标识；还可以使用该Profile中的IMSI通过一定的加密算法计算出的标识作为该Profil的唯一标识，还可以是各服务提供商商定的其他类型的唯一标识，此处不作限定。
Profile-IMEI对应关系中，IMEI与Profile唯一标识的对应关系可以使用数据表的形式 表示，也可以使用数组的形式表示，还可以用其他表示对应关系类型来表示，只需能记录Profile的唯一标识与为其分配的IMEI的对应关系，使电子设备能根据Profile的唯一标识，找到为其分配的IMEI即可，此处不作限定。
示例性的，在一种实现方式中，若使用ICCID作为Profile唯一标识，现需要查找ICCID为8986031874876304205的Profile对应的IMEI。电子设备查找到Profile-IMEI对应关系，得到【011472001975695，8986031874876304205】，则电子设备确定为该Profile分配的IMEI为011472001975695。
S605、电子设备将第一IMSI与第一IMEI发送给第一基站，根据第一Profile建立第一通信连接；
电子设备将读取得到的第一IMSI与查找得到的第一IMEI发送给第一基站进行入网鉴权，根据该第一Profile建立第一通信链接。具体的入网鉴权过程可参考上述使用SIM卡的入网鉴权过程，此处不作赘述。
需要说明的是，该第一基站为第一Profile的运营商下属的基站。若电子设备中有多个Profile，且该多个Profile属于不同的运营商，则电子设备可能需要与不同的运营商下属的基站进行通信，这不同运营商下属的基站可能并不是同一个基站。在一些情况下，若相关运营商达成了共用基站的协议，则也可能可以是不同运营商所属的基站，此处不作限定。
S606、电子设备监测该第一通信连接的信号强度；
电子设备根据第一Profile建立第一通信连接后，监测该第一通信连接的信号强度。若在该第一通信连接上有数据需要收发，则进行数据收发工作；若一段时间在该第一通信连接上均无数据需要收发，则在该第一通信连接上进入待机状态。待机状态表示电子设备低功耗的监测是否在该第一通信连接上有数据需要收发。
S607、电子设备显示第一通信连接的信号强度指示符；
电子设备监测到第一通信连接的信号强度后，会在显示屏上实时显示相应的用于指示该信号强度的第一指示信息。该第一指示信息的一种表现形式可以为信号强度指示符。
可以理解的是，若在开机时，电子设备中还有其他的Profile已激活，则其同样可以按照上述过程进行状态加载。
下面介绍Profile状态加载过程所涉及的示例性用户界面(user interface，UI)。本申请的说明书和权利要求书及附图中的术语“用户界面”，是应用程序或操作系统与用户之间进行交互和信息交换的介质接口，它实现信息的内部形式与用户可以接受形式之间的转换。用户界面常用的表现形式是图形用户界面(graphic user interface，GUI)，是指采用图形方式显示的与计算机操作相关的用户界面。它可以是在电子设备的显示屏中显示的一个图标、窗口、控件等界面元素，其中控件可以包括图标、按钮、菜单、选项卡、文本框、对话框、状态栏、导航栏、Widget等可视的界面元素。

在其他一些实施例中，电子设备100还可以包括实体的主屏幕键。该主屏幕键可用于接收用户的指令，将当前显示的UI返回到主界面，这样可以方便用户随时查看主屏幕。上述指令具体可以是用户单次按下主屏幕键的操作指令，也可以是用户在短时间内连续两次按下主屏幕键的操作指令，还可以是用户在预定时间内长按主屏幕键的操作指令。在本申请其他一些实施例中，主屏幕键还可以集成指纹识别器，以便用于在按下主屏幕键的时候，随之进行指纹采集和识别。
可以理解的是，图14a仅仅示例性示出了电子设备100上的用户界面，不应构成对本申请实施例的限定。
图14b示例性示出的用户界面72可以为“设置界面”的一种实现方式。该用户界面72可以是“设置”应用提供的。“设置”应用是安装于智能手机、平板电脑等电子设备上的一款用于设置电子设备的各项功能的应用程序，本申请实施例对该应用程序的名称不做限制。该用户界面72可以是用户点击图14a所示的用户界面71中的设置图标715打开的用户界面。
如图14b所示，用户界面72可包括：状态栏721、标题栏722、包括一个或多个设置项的区域723。
状态栏721可参照图14a所示的用户界面71中的状态栏701，这里不再赘述。
标题栏722可包括当前页面指示符722A，当前页面指示符722A可用于指示当前页面， 例如文本信息“设置”可用于指示当前页面用于展示一个或多个设置项。不限于文本信息，当前页面指示符722A还可以是图标。

在一些实施例中，检测到在如图14b所示的用户界面72中eSIM管理设置项723A上的操作(如触摸操作)，电子设备可显示如图14c所示的用户界面73。
如图14c所示，用户界面73用于展示eSIM管理设置项的对应内容。该用户界面73可包括：状态栏731、标题栏732、eSIM管理区域733。
状态栏731可参照图14a所示的用户界面71中的状态栏701，这里不再赘述。
标题栏732可包括：返回键732A、当前页面指示符732B。返回键732A为APP级返回键，可用于返回菜单上一级。用户界面73的上一级页面可以为如图14b所示的用户界面72。当前页面指示符732B可用于指示当前页面，例如文本信息“eSIM管理”可用于指示当前页面用于展示eSIM管理设置项的对应内容，不限于文本信息，当前页面指示符732B还可以是图标。
eSIM管理区域733可显示eSIM中已下载安装的Profile对应的eSIM条目及添加eSIM控件733E。
添加eSIM控件733E可用于在接收到用户操作(例如触摸操作)时，与远程RSP服务器通信，可下载Profile。
示例性的，若在上述步骤S602中，电子设备确定eSIM中已下载安装了4个Profile：Profile1、Profile2、Profile3、Profile4。则会在图14c所示的用户界面73中eSIM管理区域733内对应显示4个eSIM条目：eSIM条目733A、eSIM条目733B、eSIM条目733C、eSIM条目733D。各eSIM条目中可以包括对应的Profile所属的网络运营商图标、名称、手机号码、Profile状态指示符、以及条目设置控件。当电子设备确定Profile1已激活，Profile2、Profile3、Profile4未激活时，则可以更新Profile1对应的eSIM条目733A中Profile状态指示符733A1显示为已启用，其他未激活的Profile1对应的eSIM条目733B、733C、733D中Profile状态指示符显示为已停用。在步骤S607中，若根据Profile1上建立了通信连接，检测信号后，则可以在图14a的状态栏701中显示该通信连接的信号强度指示符701A。
(二)步骤S608～S618，启用新的第二Profile的处理过程
S608、电子设备接收到用户启用第一eSIM中的第二Profile的操作；
本申请实施例中，电子设备在第一eSIM中第一Profile已启用，根据第一Profile建立的第一通信连接还未终止的情况下，还可以接收用户启用第一eSIM中第二Profile的操作。其中，该第二Profile为第一eSIM中与第一Profile不同的一个Profile。可以理解的是，该操作的目的实质即为使电子设备根据第二Profile建立通信连接。
具体的，用户启用第二Profile的操作可以为在eSIM管理区域内第二Profile对应的eSIM条目上点击条目设置控件，进入卡信息管理界面，通过对卡信息管理界面的卡信息管理区域中的是否启用控件进行操作(例如触摸操作、或点击操作等)，从而将未启用的第二Profile进行启用。在另一种实现方式中，用户在eSIM管理区域内右划第二Profile对应的eSIM条目，在出现的启用/取消选择控件中，点击启用选项，从而将未启用的第二Profile进行启用。可以理解的是，根据电子设备的设置，还可以有其他接收用户启用第二Profile的操作，此处不作限定。
S609、电子设备响应于该操作，判断已启用的Profile数量是否小于预置阈值；
本申请实施例中，电子设备在第一eSIM中第一Profile已启用，根据第一Profile建立的第一通信连接还未终止的情况下，若接收到启用该第一eSIM中第二Profile的操作，即根据第二Profile建立通信连接的操作时，并不会因为第一eSIM上已经有一个已激活的Profile而直接拒绝该操作。而是会判断电子设备上当前已启用的Profile数量是否小于预置阈值，该预置阈值为上述电子设备最多能同时启用并待机的Profile数量，具体可以参与上述描述，此处不作赘述。可以理解的是，该已启用的Profile数量并不仅限于第一eSIM中已启用的Profile，而是电子设备中当前已启用的所有Profile的数量。
具体的，若预置阈值为N，N为大于等于2的正整数。当前电子设备中已启用的Profile数量为M，M为正整数。在接收到用户启用一个新的第二Profile的操作时，电子设备会判断此时N是否小于M。若小于则执行步骤S611；若不小于，则执行步骤S610。
例如，若电子设备最多支持同时启用3个Profile，当前电子设备中已经启用了插在SIM卡槽中的一张SIM卡中的Profile和eSIM中的一个Profile，则已启用了2个Profile。因此，若此时接收到用户启用eSIM中另一个Profile的操作时，电子设备确定2小于3，则会执行步骤S611。
S610、若确定不小于预置阈值，则电子设备显示超出提示；
本申请实施例中，当步骤S609中电子设备确定已启用的Profile数量不小于预置阈值时，此时若再启用新的Profile，则超出了电子设备最多能同时启用并待机的Profile的能力，电子设备可以弹出提示框，提示用户需要将已启用的Profile停用后再启用该Profile。
在一种实现方式中，电子设备可以弹出停用选项框，该停用选项框中可以包含电子设备中所有已启用的Profile对应的条目。当用户在该停用选项框选择停用其中一个条目对应的Profile后，再执行步骤S609。
S611、若确定小于预置阈值，则电子设备激活第二Profile；
本申请实施例中，当步骤S609中电子设备确定已启用的Profile数量小于预置阈值时，表明电子设备此时还能够支持新的Profile启用，则电子设备激活第二Profile。
具体的，电子设备可以通过LPA修改第二Profile中的状态字段(例如Profilestate字段)来将该第二Profile置为激活状态。
示例性的，若步骤S602中电子设备通过LPA确定第一eSIM中已下载安装了4个Profile：Profile1、Profile2、Profile3、Profile4，且分别读取4个Profile的Profilestate字段的值，得到了Profile1的Profilestate字段值为enabled(1)，Profile2、Profile3、Profile4的Profilestate字段值均为disabled(0)。按照步骤S603～S607，电子设备在该Profile1上建立 通信连接。在步骤S608中接收到到用户启用Profile3的操作，在步骤S609中确定当前已启动的Profile数量1小于阈值2，则在步骤S611中，电子设备通过LPA修改Profile3中的Profilestate字段值为enabled(1)，将该Profile3置为激活状态。
S612、电子设备可以通知第二RSP服务器第二Profile已激活；
激活第二Profie后，电子设备可以发送通知消息给第二RSP服务器，告知第二Profile已激活，第二RSP服务器为电子设备与第二Profile的远程管理平台通信的服务器。第二RSP服务器可以对第二Profile的状态进行同步记录。
需要说明的是，根据Profile所属运营商与远程服务提供商之间的协议，可以执行本步骤，也可以不执行本步骤，此处不作限定。
S613、电子设备更新显示第二Profile对应的eSIM条目中的状态信息；
电子设备上在eSIM管理区域中第二Profile对应的eSIM条目中可以显示该第二Profile的相关信息：例如该第二Profile所属的运营商，该第二Profile对应的手机号等。此外，还会显示该第二Profile当前的状态信息。在第二Profile未激活时，电子设备可以在eSIM管理区域中第二Profile对应的eSIM条目中显示第二Profile的状态指示符为已停用；激活第二Profile后，电子设备可以更新状态指示符为已启用。可以理解的是，此时第一Profile对应的eSIM条目中显示的第一Profile的状态指示符也为已启用。
S614、电子设备为第二Profile分配IMEI，并在Profile-IMEI对应关系中添加第二Profile的唯一标识与分配的第二IMEI的对应关系；
本申请实施例中，第二Profile激活后，电子设备会从待分配的IMEI中选择一个，分配给IMEI，建立第二Profile的唯一标识与分配的第二IMEI的对应关系，并存储在内部存储器中的Profile-IMEI对应关系中。为Profile分配IMEI的过程及Profile与IMEI对应关系的存储形式可参阅上述对Profile-IMEI对应关系的描述，此处不作赘述。S615、电子设备监听到第二Profile激活，获取到第二Profile的第二IMSI，并确定为其分配的第二IMEI；
电子设备监听到第二Profile激活后，可以通过LPA从eSIM中获取到存储在第二Profile中的第二IMSI。并根据第二Profile的唯一标识，查找存储在电子设备的内部存储器中的Profile-IMEI对应关系，确定为该第二Profile分配的第二IMEI。
可以理解的是，若在Profile-IMEI对应关系中也存储了第二Profile的唯一标识与第二IMSI的对应关系，则此时可以不需要从eSIM中再次读取第二IMSI，直接从Profile-IMEI对应关系中获取第二IMSI即可。
S616、电子设备将第二IMSI与第二IMEI发送给第二基站，根据第二Profile建立第二通信连接；
具体的入网鉴权过程可参考使用SIM卡的入网鉴权过程，此处不作赘述。
该第二基站为第二Profile的运营商下属的基站。根据第一Profile与第二Profile所属运营商是否相同以及运营商之间是否有相关协议，该第一基站与第二基站可能是同一个基站，也可能不是同一个基站，此处不作限定。
S617、电子设备监测该第二通信连接的信号强度；
电子设备根据第二Profile建立第二通信连接后，监测该第二通信连接的信号强度。若在该第一通信连接上有数据需要收发，则进行数据收发工作；若一段时间在该第二通信连 接上均无数据需要收发，则在该第二通信连接上进入待机状态。待机状态表示电子设备低功耗的监测是否在该第二通信连接上有数据需要收发。
S618、电子设备显示第二通信连接的信号强度指示符；
电子设备监测到第二通信连接的信号强度后，会在显示屏上实时显示相应的用于指示该信号强度的第二指示信息。该第二指示信息的一种表现形式可以为信号强度指示符。
下面介绍启用新的第二Profile的处理过程所涉及的示例性用户界面。
以用户要启用的第二Profile为图14c所示的用户界面73中eSIM条目733C对应的Profile为例进行示例性说明：
在一些实施例中，检测到在如图14c所示的用户界面73中eSIM条目733C上的操作(如触摸操作)，电子设备可显示如图15a所示的用户界面81。
用户界面81可包括状态栏811、标题栏812、包括一个或多个管理控件的区域813。
状态栏811可包括：表示图14c所示用户界面73中eSIM条目733A对应的Profile激活后建立的通信链接的信号强度指示符811A、WIFI信号强度指示符、电池状态指示符与时间指示符。
标题栏812可包括：返回键812A、当前页面指示符812B。返回键812A为APP级返回键，可用于返回菜单上一级。用户界面81的上一级页面可以为如图14c所示的用户界面73。当前页面指示符812B可用于指示当前页面，例如文本信息“卡信息管理”可用于指示当前页面用于展示eSIM信息管理的对应内容，不限于文本信息，当前页面指示符812B还可以是图标。
区域813包括一个或多个卡信息管理控件项，该一个或多个卡信息管理控件项可包括：
是否启用控件813A：用于接受用户的操作(点击或触摸等)，改变Profile的启用/通用状态。若控件813A开关状态为OFF，则表示该Profile停用；若控件813A开关状态为ON，则表示该Profile启用。
网络选择控件813B：用于表示该Profile的网络选择。一般为Profile下载安装时根据Profile的信息默认选择。
手机号码控件813C：用于表示该Profile对应的手机号码。一般为Profile下载安装时根据Profile的信息默认显示。
卡名称控件813D：用于在本机上标识该Profile的名称以方便用户识别。用户可点击该控件在弹出的文本框中输入自己命名的卡名称。
启用移动数据控件813E：用于接受用户的操作(点击或触摸等)，控制在该Profile启用后，是否启用移动数据。若控件813E开关状态为OFF，则表示不启用该Profile的移动数据，则电子设备中的所有应用程序不能使用该Profile的移动数据。若控件813E开关状态为ON，则表示启用该Profile的移动数据，则电子设备中的应用程序可以选择使用该Profile的移动数据。
作为默认移动数据卡控件813F：用于接受用户的操作(点击或触摸等)，控制在启用移动数据控件813E开关状态为ON的情况下，是否将该Profile作为默认移动数据卡。若控件813F开关状态为ON，则表示该将该Profile作为默认移动数据卡，在用户不主动进行 选择的情况下，移动设备中的应用程序都优先默认使用该Profile的移动数据。若控件813F开关状态为OFF，则表示不将该Profile作为默认移动数据卡，除非用户主动选择某些应用程序使用该Profile的移动数据，否则应用程序会默认使用当前默认移动数据卡的移动数据。可以理解的是，在电子设备中，只有一个Profile的控件813F的开关状态能处于ON，其他的都是OFF。例如若此时将该Profile的作为默认移动数据卡控件813F的开关状态置为ON，则电子设备上之前作为默认移动数据卡控件开关状态置为ON的那个Profile下面的作为默认移动数据卡控件的开关状态会自动置为OFF。
作为默认电话/信息卡控件813G：用于接受用户的操作(点击或触摸等)，控制在该Profile启用后，是否作为默认电话/信息卡。若控件813G开关状态为ON，则表示将该Profile作为默认电话/信息卡，在用户拨打电话或发送信息时，在用户不主动进行选择的情况下，点击拨出键或发送键，会默认使用该Profile拨打电话或发送信息。若控件813G开关状态为OFF，则表示不将该Profile作为默认电话/信息卡，在用户拨打电话或发送信息时会默认使用当前默认电话/信息卡拨打电话或发送信息。可以理解的是，在电子设备中，只有一个Profile的控件813G的开关状态能处于ON，其他的都是OFF。例如若此时将该Profile的作为默认电话/信息卡控件813G的开关状态置为ON，则电子设备上之前作为默认电话/信息卡控件开关状态置为ON的那个Profile下面的作为默认电话/信息卡控件的开关状态会自动置为OFF。
出现在拨号选项中控件813H：用于接受用户的操作(点击或触摸等)，控制在作为默认电话/信息卡控件813G的开关状态为OFF的情况下，是否将该Profile的对应的电话拨出控件出现在拨号选项中。若控件813H的开关状态为ON，则在用户拨打电话时，若长按拨号按键，会出现拨号选项，该Profile对应的电话拨出控件会出现在该拨号选项中，若用户点击该Profile对应的电话拨出控件，则会使用该Profile拨出该电话，而不再使用默认Profile拨出该电话。若控件813H的开关状态为OFF，则在用户拨打电话时，若长按拨号按键，若有其他Profile下的出现在拨号选项中控件的状态开关置为ON，则该其他Profile对应的电话拨出控件会出现在拨号选项中，若所有Profile下的出现在拨号选项中控件的状态开关均为OFF，则长按拨号按键时不会出现拨号选项，只能使用默认电话/信息卡拨出电话。
删除本卡控件813I：用于接受用户的操作(点击或触摸等)，删除该Profile。只有当是否启用控件813A的开关状态为OFF时，该删除本卡控件813I才能被触发，否则该控件813I处于不可被触发状态。
在一些实施例中，检测到在如图15a所示的用户界面81中是否启用控件813A，以及作为默认电话/信息卡控件813G上的操作(如触摸操作)，电子设备可显示如图15b所示的用户界面81。此时，由于用户点击将是否启用控件813A置为ON，电子设备执行上述步骤S608至S618，根据图14c所示的用户界面73中eSIM条目733C对应的Profile建立通信连接。如图15b所示，在用户界面81的状态栏811中显示出该新启用的eSIM条目733C对应的Profile激活后建立的通信连接的信号强度指示符811B。是否启用控件813A与作为默认电话/信息卡控件813G的开关状态均更新为ON状态，而删除本卡控件813I更新为不可触发状态。
在一些实施例中，检测到在如图15b所示的用户界面81中返回键812A上的操作(如 触摸操作)，电子设备可显示如图15c所示的用户界面73。
相比于图14c所示的用户界面73，此时状态栏731中更新显示了根据eSIM条目733C对应的Profile建立的通信连接的信号强度指示符811B，且eSIM条目733C中的Profile状态指示符733C1更新显示为已启用。
在一些实施例中，用户启用新的第二Profile时，在步骤S609中，电子设备可能会判断出已启用的Profile数量不小于预置阈值，从而不能执行后续步骤S611～S618，而是执行步骤S610。下面以预置阈值为2为例，示例性展示用户在图15c所示用户界面73中已启用2个Profile的情况下，想要再次启用新的Profile时，电子设备执行步骤S610所涉及的示例性用户界面。
检测到用户在如图16a所示的用户界面73中eSIM条目733B上的操作(如触摸操作)，电子设备可显示如图16b所示的用户界面91。
用户界面91中各控件的具体描述可参考图15a所示的用户界面81，此处不作赘述。
检测到用户在如图16b所示的用户界面91中是否启用控件911上的操作(如点击操作)，电子设备执行步骤S609后确定，当前已启用的Profile数量为2，不小于阈值2，因此电子设备可显示如图16c所示的用户界面91，在用户界面91上弹出提示框912。该提示框912中显示有文本信息：“提示：本终端支持最大启用卡数为2，启用卡数已满，请停用其他卡再启用”以及确定控件912A。
当检测到在如图16c所示的提示框912中确定控件912A上的点击操作时，响应于该操作，电子设备回到显示如图16a所示的用户界面73。eSIM条目733B对应的Profile无法被启用，依然为已停用状态。
(三)步骤S619～S625，停用第一Profile的处理过程
S619、电子设备接收到用户停用第一eSIM中的第一Profile的操作；
S620、电子设备响应于该操作，断开第一通信连接；
S621、电子设备将第一Profile去激活；
具体的，电子设备可以通过LPA修改第一Profile中的状态字段(例如Profilestate字段)来将该第二Profile去激活。
示例性的，若第一Profile为Profile1，Profile1中的Profilestate字段值为enabled(1)。则步骤S621中，电子设备通过LPA将Profile1中的Profilestate字段值修改为disabled(0)。
S622、电子设备更新显示第一Profile对应的eSIM条目中的状态信息；
具体的，去激活第一Profile后，电子设备可以在eSIM管理区域中第一Profile对应的eSIM条目中更新状态指示符为已停用。
S623、电子设备可以通知第一RSP服务器第一Profile已去激活；
需要说明的是，根据Profile所属运营商与远程服务提供商之间的协议，可以执行本步骤，也可以不执行本步骤，此处不作限定。
具体的，去激活第一Profie后，电子设备可以发送通知消息给第一RSP服务器，告知第一Profile已激活，第一RSP服务器为电子设备与第一Profile的远程管理平台通信的服 务器。第一RSP服务器可以对第二Profile的状态进行同步记录。
可以理解的是，根据第一Profile与第二Profile的远程管理平台的服务商是否相同，以及服务商之间是否签有协议，该第一RSP服务器可能与第二RSP服务器为同一个RSP服务器，也可能与第二RSP为不同的服务器，此处不作限定。
S624、电子设备不再显示第一通信连接的信号强度指示符；
S625、电子设备更新Profile-IMEI对应关系：去除第一Profile的唯一标识。
具体的，第一Profile去激活后，电子设备可以在Profile-IMEI对应关系中去除第一Profile的唯一标识，将分配给该第一Profile的IMEI回收到未分配IMEI存储空间。
在一些实现方式中，也可以仅将Profile-IMEI对应关系中第一Profile的唯一标识去除，而不回收分配给它的IMEI，将IMEI对应的Profile唯一标识部分置空，等到有新的Profile激活需要分配IMEI时，直接将需要分配IMEI的Profile的唯一标识填写在空值部分，从而建立对应关系。具体可参阅上述对Profile-IMEI对应关系的描述，此处不再赘述。
下面介绍停用第一Profile的处理过程所涉及的示例性用户界面。
如图17a所示，以用户要停用的第一Profile为图17a所示的用户界面73中eSIM条目733A对应的Profile为例进行示例性说明：
此时图17a所示的用户界面73中，eSIM条目733A的Profile状态指示符733A1显示为已启用，eSIM条目733C的Profile状态指示符733C1显示为已启用，状态栏中有对应于这两个Profile的2个信号强度指示符。
在一些实施例中，检测到在如图17a所示的用户界面73中eSIM条目733A上的操作(如触摸操作)，电子设备可显示如图17b所示的用户界面101。
如图17b所示用户界面101的状态栏101包括有eSIM条目733A对应的Profile的信号强度指示符1011A以及eSIM条目733C对应的Profile的信号强度指示符1011B。用户界面101中还包括是否启用控件1012以及删除本卡控件1013。由于该Profile当前为启用状态，因此删除本卡控件1013当前为不可激活状态。用户界面101中其他控件的具体描述可参考图15a所示的用户界面81，此处不再赘述。
检测到用户在如图17b所示的用户界面101中是否启用控件1012上的操作(如触摸操作)，电子设备可显示如图17c所示的用户界面101。
响应于用户的操作，在如图17c所示的用户界面101中，是否启用控件1012的开关状态被置为OFF，电子设备执行上述步骤S619～S625。eSIM条目733A对应的Profile的信号强度指示符1011A隐藏，状态栏1011中仅显示eSIM条目733C对应的Profile的信号强度指示符1011B。由于该Profile已停用，删除本卡控件1013更新为可激活状态。
检测到用户在如图17c所示的用户界面101中返回键1014上的操作(如点击操作)，电子设备可显示如图17d所示的用户界面73。
此时在如图17d所示的用户界面73中，eSIM条目733A上的Profile状态指示符733A1更新为已停用。
在本申请一些实施例中，用户可以删除已停用的Profile。下面以用户要删除图18a所 示的用户界面73中eSIM条目733C对应的Profile为例，进行示例性说明：
检测到用户在如图18a所示的用户界面73中eSIM条目733C上的操作(如触摸操作)，电子设备可显示如图18b所示的用户界面81。由于该eSIM条目733C对应的Profile处于已停用状态，因此，删除本卡控件813I处于可触发状态。
检测到用户在如图18b所示的用户界面81中删除本卡控件813I上的操作(如点击操作)，电子设备可显示如图18c所示的用户界面81。在该如图18c所示的用户界面81中弹出了身份验证提示框1101。该身份验证提示框1101中可以包括：
身份认证指示符1101A：用于提示用户该身份验证提示框1101用于进行身份验证；
指纹识别指示符1101B：用于提示用户当前正触发的身份验证方式为指纹识别。该指纹识别指示符1101B的指纹图标可以根据用户指纹识别的进度产生相应的变化。
密码认证控件110C：用于在接收到用户的操作后，弹出密码输入框；
人脸识别控件110D：用于在接收到用户的操作后，触发人脸识别验证方式。
在检测到用户身份认证成功后，电子设备显示如图18d所示的用户界面81。在该如图18d所示的用户界面81中弹出了认证成功提示框1102。该认证成功提示框1102中包含有文本信息：身份认证成功，本卡信息已删除。
然后，电子设备会自动跳转到如图18e所示的用户界面73。在该如图18e所示的用户界面73中，eSIM条目733C已被删除，不再显示。
应用场景2：在本申请的一些实施例中，电子设备中可以安装有不止一个eSIM，与此同时，还可以安装有卡槽。
下面以电子设备中具有2个eSIM和一个插有SIM卡的SIM卡槽，电子设备最多能同时启用并待机的Profile数量为5为例，对执行本申请实施例中通信连接的方法时其中可能涉及到的用户界面进行示例性说明：
如图19a所示的用户界面121中，包括有状态栏1201，标题栏以及设置项区域。
状态栏1201中包含有信号强度指示符1201A、信号强度指示符1201B、信号强度指示符1201C，表示电子设备中有3个Profile已启用，处于激活状态。
在设置项区域中包括SIM卡管理设置项1202。该SIM卡管理设置项用于多电子设备中所有的eSIM以及SIM卡进行管理。
检测到用户在如图19a所示的用户界面121中SIM卡管理设置项上的操作(如触摸操作)，电子设备可显示如图19b所示的用户界面122。
该如图19b所示的用户界面122中包括状态栏、返回键、页面指示符、卡管理区域1203、卡管理区域1205、滑动控件1204。

检测到用户在如图19b所示的用户界面122中该滑动控件1204上的操作(如按住向下滑动操作)，电子设备可显示如图19c所示的用户界面122。
该如图19c所示的用户界面122中包括卡管理区域1205剩下的部分，以及卡管理区域1206。
该卡管理区域1203中包含：区域指示符1203A、eSIM条目1203B、eSIM条目1203C、eSIM条目1203D、eSIM条目1203E以及添加eSIM控件。
其中，区域指示符1203A用于指示该区域显示的SIM/eSIM条目所属的eSIM/卡槽为eSIM1。eSIM条目1203B中Profile状态指示符显示为已启用，表示其对应的Profile为激活状态。该Profile对应的状态栏中信号强度指示符为信号强度指示符1201A。eSIM条目1203C、eSIM条目1203D、eSIM条目1203E中Profile状态指示符均显示为已停用。
该卡管理区域1205中包括：区域指示符1205A、eSIM条目1205B、eSIM条目1205C以及添加eSIM控件。
其中，区域指示符1205A用于指示该区域显示的SIM/eSIM条目所属的eSIM/卡槽为eSIM2。eSIM条目1205B中Profile状态指示符显示为已启用，表示其对应的Profile为激活状态。该Profile对应的状态栏中信号强度指示符为信号强度指示符1201B。eSIM条目1205C中Profile状态指示符显为已停用。
该卡管理区域1206中包括：区域指示符1206A、SIM卡条目1206B。
其中，区域指示符1206A用于指示该区域显示的SIM/eSIM条目所属的eSIM/卡槽为SIM卡槽1。SIM卡条目1206B中Profile状态指示符显示为已启用，表示其对应的Profile为激活状态。
检测到用户在如图20a所示的用户界面122中eSIM条目1203D上的操作(如触摸操作)，电子设备可显示如图20b所示的用户界面131。

应用场景3：在一些实施例中，电子设备启用激活了一个eSIM的多个Profile，并根据这多个Profile分别建立通信连接，在这多个通信连接上待机后，可能会在其中一个激活的Profile对应的通信连接上进行业务处理时，接收到在另一个激活的Profile对应的通信连接 上进行业务处理的请求。
下面以电子设备100的eSIM196中已启用激活了2个Profile(ProfileA与ProfileB)为例，结合图7所示电子设备100的结构示意图以及图11所示电子设备100的软件结构框图，对电子设备100同时在一个eSIM196中两个已激活的Profile对应的两个通信连接上分别进行业务处理的过程进行示例性描述：
ProfileA激活时，CPU110通过电子设备100中应用程序框架层的LPA从eSIM196中读取了该ProfileA的IMSI-A，并查找Profile-IMEI数据表，确定为该ProfileA分配的为IMEI-A，电子设备100通过移动通信模块150将IMSI-A与IMEI-A发送给基站A，基站A为移动网络A的基站。移动网络A生产一组随机数(RADN-A)发送给电子设备100。电子设备100中的通过移动通信模块150接收到该RADN-A后，利用应用程序框架层的LPA通过CPU110发送给eSIM196。eSIM196根据RADN-A与ProfileA中存储的鉴权密钥(Ki-A)计算出鉴权结果(SENS-A)。同时，eSIM196根据RADN-A与ProfileA中存储的鉴权密钥(Ki-A)计算出通信密钥(Kc-A)。eSIM196将SENS-A与Kc-A发送给CPU110。CPU110将Kc-A保存，将SENS-A过移动通信模块150发送给基站A。移动网络A确定SENS-A与自己计算的鉴权结果相同，允许根据该ProfileA上建立通信连接A，电子设备100在通信连接A上待机。
ProfileB激活时，过程与ProfileA类似，此处不作赘述。同理，CPU110会将eSIM196根据RADN-B与ProfileB中存储的鉴权密钥(Ki-B)计算出的通信密钥(Kc-B)保存，并将计算出的鉴权结果(SENS-B)发送给基站B，基站B为移动网络B的基站。移动网络B确定SENS-B与自己计算的鉴权结果相同，允许根据该ProfileB上建立通信连接B，电子设备100在通信连接B上待机。
当用户打开了电子设备100上的在线音乐播放器APP进行在线音乐播放，该在线音乐播放器APP预设使用ProfileA的数据流量时，CPU110使用Kc-A对该数据流量进行通信加密，并通过移动通信模块150在通信连接A上与基站A进行数据的收发处理。
与此同时，当用户打开了电子设备100上的浏览器APP进行网页浏览，该浏览器APP预设使用ProfileB的数据流量时，CPU110使用Kc-B对该数据流量进行通信加密，并通过移动通信模块150在通信连接B上与基站B进行数据的收发处理。
可以理解的是，移动通信模块150可以使用时分复用技术分别与基站A和基站B进行通信。具体移动通信模块150在其中硬件收发模块数目不同的情况下对分配硬件收发模块建立和维持通信连接的描述，请参阅上述图8至图10所示的对IMEI-收发模块对应关系的描述，此处不作赘述。
