Description
本申请要求于2016年6月30日提交中国专利局,申请号为201610506308.2、发明名称为“eSIM的切换方法、切换装置及终端”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。
本发明涉及终端技术领域,具体而言,涉及一种eSIM的切换方法、一种eSIM的切换装置和一种终端。
eSIM(Embedded SIM,嵌入式客户识别模块)就是将传统SIM(Subscriber Identity Module,客户识别模块)卡直接嵌入到设备芯片上,而不是作为独立的可移除零部件加入设备中,这一做法将允许用户更加灵活的选择运营商套餐,或者在无需解锁设备、购买新设备的前提下随时更换运营商 。
在设备具备多个eSIM时,而在不同的场景下,可能需要设备切换至支持不同功能的eSIM,然而在相关技术中,通常都是基于用户手动切换来实现eSIM的切换,整个切换过程比较繁琐,影响用户的使用体验。
因此,如何实现eSIM的自动切换成为亟待解决的技术问题。
本发明正是基于上述技术问题至少之一,提出了一种新的eSIM的切换方案,实现了eSIM的自动切换,无需用户手动切换,简化了整个操作过程,提升了用户的使用体验。
有鉴于此,本发明提出了一种eSIM的切换方法,包括:检测终端所接入的目标接入点是否为具有VoWiFi能力;判断所述终端的多个eSIM中支持VoWiFi功能的目标eSIM是否被启用;在所述终端所接入的目标接入点具有VoWiFi能力,且所述目标eSIM未被启用时,切换至所述目标eSIM。
在该技术方案中,VoWiFi(Voice over WiFi)能力是指基于WiFi (Wireless-Fidelity,无线保真)语音通话能力,终端若要实现VoWiFi功能则需接入无线局域网络以及开通VoWiFi业务,而终端一般通过接入接入点(Access Point,AP)来实现接入无线局域网络,所以通过检测终端所接入的目标接入点是否为具有VoWiFi能力,以及判断终端的多个eSIM中支持VoWiFi功能的目标eSIM是否被启用,在确定目标接入点具有VoWiFi能力、且支持VoWiFi功能的目标eSIM未被启用时,切换至目标eSIM,以基于目标eSIM开通VoWiFi业务,从而实现了eSIM的自动切换,无需用户手动切换,简化了整个操作过程,提升了用户的使用体验。

具体地,所述处理器310对上述指令的具体实现方法可参考图1对应实施例中相关步骤的描述,在此不赘述。
以下结合图5对本发明的技术方案作进一步说明。
在本实施例中,主要针对VoWiFi场景,终端可能安装了多张eSIM,其中一张eSIM开通了VoWiFi业务,终端实时检测所接入的接入点是否具有VoWiFi能力,如果该接入点具有VoWiFi能力,则终端将切换到开通了VoWiFi业务的eSIM上。
如图4所示,根据本发明的另一实施例的eSIM的切换方法,包括:
步骤402,终端实时检测所关联接入点(目标接入点)VoWiFi能力。
步骤404,判断该接入点是否具有VoWiFi能力,若是,执行步骤406;否则,结束。
步骤406,从多个eSIM中检测开通了VoWiFi能力的eSIM。
步骤408,判断是否存在开通了VoWiFi能力的eSIM,若是,执行步骤410;否则,结束。
步骤410,切换至开通了VoWiFi能力的eSIM。
其中,步骤404中已关联接入点VoWiFi能力的检测判断依据主要是判断该接入点是否加入到EPC(Evolved Packet Core,演进分组核心网)网络中,如终端基于该接入点发现接入点的ePDG地址(具体地,终端可触发接入点获取接入点的ePDG地址,或接入点的标识信标帧中会表明ePDG地址),确定接入点基于ePDG地址是否连接到ePDG服务器,如果该接入点有发现ePDG地址且连接到ePDG服务器,则证明该接入点具有VoWiFi能力。终端自动将eSIM切换到开通VoWiFi能力的eSIM上,其中eSIM的VoWiFi能力可以存储在eSIM中。
对于终端未关联接入点的场景,终端通过WiFi扫描获取能够检测到可用接入点的接入能力,如果存在可用VoWiFi接入点(即目标接入点),且该接入点终端之前已连接过或者是可信VoWiFi接入点,此时终端可自动连接到具有VoWiFi能力接入点上,对于具有VoWiFi能力但终端之前未连接过的接入点,终端可提示用户附近具有VoWiFi接入点确认是否连接,并根据用户输入的接入信息(如接入密码)接入VoWiFi接入点,在终端连接上VoWiFi接入点后,确定终端的接入接入点具有VoWiFi能力。其中,获取可用VoWiFi接入点的方法包括:终端主动向能够检测到可用接入点发送探测响应请求,可用接入点在收到探测响应请求,向终端反馈探测响应帧,并在探测响应帧中表明是否具有VoWiFi能力,在探测响应帧中表明具有VoWiFi能力的接入点即为可用VoWiFi接入点;或能够检测到可用接入点主动向终端发送信标帧,并在信标帧中表明是否具有VoWiFi能力,在信标帧中表明具有VoWiFi能力的接入点即为可用VoWiFi接入点。
在上述实施例中,针对VoWiFi场景,终端实时监测所接入的接入点是否具有VoWiFi能力,如果有则自动切换到具有VoWiFi能力的eSIM上,从而可在VoWiFi的场景下自动完成eSIM的切换,方便灵活,提升了用户的使用体验。
以上结合附图详细说明了本发明的技术方案,本发明的技术方案提出了一种新的eSIM的切换方案,实现了eSIM的自动切换,无需用户手动切换,简化了整个操作过程,提升了用户的使用体验。
以上所述仅为本发明的优选实施例而已,并不用于限制本发明,对于本领域的技术人员来说,本发明可以有各种更改和变化。凡在本发明的精神和原则之内,所作的任何修改、等同替换、改进等,均应包含在本发明的保护范围之内。
