Embodiment 1

[0083] figure 1 It is a flow chart of the method for sharing a virtual SIM card among multiple terminals according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. Such as figure 1 As shown, the same virtual SIM card data is stored in the first terminal and the second terminal, and the method also includes the steps of:

[0084] 110: Receive a request for enabling the virtual SIM card sent by the first terminal, where the request for enabling the virtual SIM card includes a virtual SIM card identifier.

[0085] Specifically, the method can be executed by a virtual card server. The first terminal and the second terminal are generally mobile terminals, such as mobile phones, but may also be non-mobile terminals, such as desktop computers. Meanwhile, the first terminal and the second terminal should support virtual SIM cards. The communication network between the first terminal and the second terminal and the virtual card server may generally be a wireless network such as Wi-Fi, but...

Embodiment 2

[0091] The request for enabling the virtual SIM card may further include the user identifier of the first terminal.

[0092] Specifically, the first terminal may automatically obtain the terminal ID and the user ID of the first terminal according to a user instruction, and insert the request for enabling the virtual SIM card together with the virtual SIM card ID.

[0093] Before the step 120, it also includes: judging whether there is a subscription relationship between the user ID and the virtual SIM card ID, if yes, execute the next step, otherwise, end the process. By judging the subscription relationship between the user ID and the virtual SIM card ID, it can be ensured that only authorized users, that is, users who have ordered the virtual SIM card, can activate the virtual SIM card.

[0094] And, in the step 120, judging whether the second terminal has enabled the virtual SIM card according to the virtual SIM card identifier is specifically: querying the activation relat...

Embodiment 3

[0099] The terminal that has enabled the virtual SIM card may disable the virtual SIM card after a period of time, so that other terminals can activate the virtual SIM card.

[0100] figure 2 It is a flowchart of a method for deactivating a shared virtual SIM card by multiple terminals according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention, as shown in figure 2 As shown, the method may also include the steps of:

[0101] 210: Receive a request for deactivating the virtual SIM card sent by the first terminal, where the request for deactivating the virtual SIM card includes a user identifier, a terminal identifier of the first terminal, and the virtual SIM card identifier.

[0102] Specifically, the terminal may automatically obtain a user ID, a terminal ID, and a virtual SIM card ID to generate a request to deactivate a virtual SIM card according to a user instruction, and send the request to deactivate a virtual SIM card to the virtual card server .

[0103] 220: Determine wh...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for allowing multiple terminals to share a virtual SIM card, as well as terminals, a server and a system, and relates to the communication field. Same SIM card data are stored in a first terminal and a second terminal. The method further comprises the steps as follows: a request which is sent by the first terminal to start the virtual SIM card is received; the request for starting the virtual SIM card comprises virtual SIM card identification; whether the second terminal uses the virtual SIM cared is judged by the aid of the virtual SIM card identification; and if the second terminal doesn't use the virtual SIM card, the first terminal uses the virtual SIM card. The method, the terminals, the server and the system simplify the operation steps for allowing the multiple terminals to share the virtual SIM card.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of computer and communication technologies, in particular to a method, terminal, server and system for sharing a virtual Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card with multiple terminals. Background technique [0002] At present, with the rapid development of communication technology and mobile terminals, ordinary users will also have multiple mobile terminals, such as multiple mobile phones, tablet computers, etc., so users desire to be able to share a SIM card among multiple terminals. [0003] For a user using a physical SIM card, if he wants to share the SIM card between multiple mobile terminals, he needs to manually uninstall the physical SIM card from one terminal and then install it on other mobile terminals. It is a troublesome thing to manually uninstall and install the physical SIM card, and it is an extremely inconvenient thing if the user needs to frequently switch the physical SIM card back and forth...
