A managing method and device for embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card (eUICC) configuration files

Abstract

The embodiments of the invention provide a managing method and device for embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card (eUICC) configuration files. When an eUICC operating system needs update, an LPA sets an operating system update identifier, and metadata of a first configuration file are obtained and stored. A configuration file server generates a second configuration file according to the operating system update identifier and generates metadata of the second configuration file; the LPA configures the metadata of the second configuration file according to the metadata of the first configuration file and activates the second configuration file according to the configured metadata of the second configuration file, so that a user can use operator operation normaly without configuration of the configuration files after the upgrade of the eUICC operating system is over. Therefore, the configuration process of configuration files is simplified and the will and the experience of update of the eUICC operating system by users are improved.

Description

[0001] This application claims the priority of the Chinese patent application submitted to the China Patent Office on June 14, 2017, the application number is 201710449255.X, and the application name is "a method and device for downloading and installing eUICC profile", the entire content of which is passed References are incorporated in this application. technical field [0002] The present application relates to the field of communication technology, in particular to a method and device for managing configuration files of an embedded universal integrated circuit card. Background technique [0003] Mobile communication systems usually use smart cards to store information such as user identity, user authentication parameters and algorithms, user phonebook and SMS data, and operator's customized parameters, so as to facilitate the portability of user identity and data and the communication between operators. Differentiated customization. [0004] Universal Integrated Circuit...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The current subscription management-data preparation server (Subscription Manager-Data Preparation, SM-DP) does not save the profile of the eUICC operating system before the update, and the user cannot download the profile of the eUICC operating system before the update from the SM-DP

There is no mechanism in the current standard to restore the previous profile, which makes the configuration process of the new profile after the eUICC operating system is updated more cumbersome, which reduces the user's willingness to update the eUICC operating system and user experience
