背景技术
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。
发明内容
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。
