[0002] With the continuous development of Internet of Vehicles (IoV) technology, the connection between vehicles and networks has become the fundamental support for realizing functions such as intelligent driving, remote control, and in-vehicle information services. In this context, eSIM (embedded Subscriber Identification Module) technology is widely used in modern intelligent connected vehicles due to its flexibility and manageability, supporting vehicles' access to multiple carrier networks worldwide.

[0003] In related technologies, the solution of achieving multi-carrier adaptation for vehicles based on eSIM cards is mainly led by vehicle manufacturers. That is, based on the country or region where the vehicle is sold, the corresponding carrier configuration file is pre-selected and downloaded to the eSIM card, thereby achieving adaptive access to the communication network in that region. However, this approach still has certain limitations, namely the lack of a flexible dynamic adaptation mechanism between multiple carriers and the failure to provide effective auxiliary recommendation functions to support users in carrier selection. This may lead to problems such as reduced communication quality and excessive roaming charges during the network connection process, which in turn affects the user experience.

[0008] In one embodiment of the present application, pushing the network switching recommendation to the terminal according to a preset recommendation strategy includes: querying the second signal strength and second network rate of each target operator network in the current location area of the target vehicle; sorting the target operator networks according to the second signal strength and the second network rate to obtain a third sorting result; determining the first target operator network to be pushed according to the third sorting result; generating the network switching recommendation based on the first target operator network, and pushing it to the terminal.

[0009] In one embodiment of the present application, pushing a network switching recommendation to the terminal according to a preset recommendation strategy also includes: eliminating the target operator network whose network performance value is less than a preset network performance threshold from the third sorting result; re-sorting the target operator networks in the third sorting result after elimination according to the package fees to obtain a fourth sorting result; determining a second target operator network to be pushed based on the fourth sorting result; generating the network switching recommendation based on the second target operator network, and pushing it to the terminal.

[0011] In one embodiment of the present application, the sorting of at least one package under the target operator network according to the traffic usage preference includes: determining at least one feasible package from the at least one package according to the traffic usage preference, wherein the traffic usage preference includes at least one traffic consumption scenario; for each feasible package, calculating the traffic rate under each traffic consumption scenario; and sorting the feasible packages according to the traffic rate under each traffic consumption scenario.

[0012] In one embodiment of the present application, each operator network in the first sorting result is associated with a first number of selected people within the location information area, and each package in the second sorting result is associated with a second number of selected people within the location information area, so that the terminal displays the user group preferences of the operator network within the location information area based on the first number of selected people, and displays the user group preferences of the packages under the target operator network based on the second number of selected people.

[0025] The following describes the embodiments of the present application through specific examples. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and functions of the present application from the contents disclosed in this specification. The present application can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments. The details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present application. The following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0026] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic illustrations of the basic concept of the present application. The drawings only show components related to the present application and are not drawn according to the number, shape and size of components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component may be changed at will, and the component layout may also be more complicated.

[0027] In the following description, a large number of details are discussed to provide a more thorough explanation of the embodiments of the present application. However, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented without these specific details. In other embodiments, well-known structures and devices are shown in the form of block diagrams rather than in detail to avoid making the embodiments of the present application difficult to understand.

[0028] With the continuous development of Internet of Vehicles (IoV) technology, eSIM cards are widely used in modern intelligent connected vehicles to support multi-operator network access worldwide. However, the inventors of this application have found that the solution for achieving multi-operator adaptation of vehicles based on eSIM cards is mainly dominated by vehicle manufacturers. That is, according to the country or region where the vehicle is sold, the corresponding operator configuration file is pre-selected and downloaded to the eSIM card, thereby achieving adaptive access to the communication network in that region. However, cloud-based eSIM services still have certain limitations, namely, the lack of a flexible dynamic adaptation mechanism between multiple operators and the failure to provide effective auxiliary recommendation functions to support users in operator selection. As a result, problems such as reduced communication quality and excessive roaming charges may occur during the network connection process, thereby affecting the user experience.

[0029] Therefore, see Figure 1 , Figure 1FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an implementation environment of an operator network management system shown in an exemplary embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the implementation environment includes a terminal 110 and a cloud 120, wherein the terminal 110 can be a user equipment terminal, a vehicle-mounted terminal, and a car owner APP (), etc., and the cloud 120 can be an eSIM cloud platform. The operator network management system is applied to the cloud 120 to realize the management of the operator network in the target vehicle. The operator network management system, based on a multi-operator network, provides an intelligent recommendation algorithm, that is, it recommends operators and packages based on the vehicle's location and the user's traffic usage requirements, which can effectively assist users in selecting operators and packages, so that vehicles can dynamically adapt to the best operator network and package in different regions, effectively avoiding problems such as decreased communication quality and excessive roaming charges that may occur during the network connection process, and improving the user experience.

[0030] See Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart of an exemplary embodiment of the present application showing an operator network management method. This method can be applied to Figure 1 The implementation environment shown is shown. It should be understood that the method can also be applied to other exemplary implementation environments, and this embodiment does not limit the implementation environment to which the method is applicable.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, in an exemplary embodiment, the operator network management method includes at least steps S210 to S240, which are described in detail as follows:

[0032] Step S210, in response to the network configuration instruction sent by the terminal, obtain at least one operator network that the target vehicle can access, wherein the network configuration instruction carries the location information of the target vehicle and the user's traffic usage preference, and the target vehicle is configured with an embedded user identification card.

[0033] Step S220 , querying the first signal strength and the first network rate of each operator network within the location information area, ranking at least one operator network, and pushing the first ranking result to the terminal.

[0034] Step S230: If the target operator information fed back by the terminal based on the first sorting result is received, at least one package under the target operator network is sorted according to the traffic usage preference, and the second sorting result is pushed to the terminal.

[0035] Step S240: If target package information fed back by the user terminal based on the second sorting result is received, a code number is allocated to the embedded subscriber identity card and the target package is activated.

[0036] Among them, the network configuration instructions are generated by the terminal and sent to the eSIM cloud platform; the location information can represent the location of the target vehicle; the traffic usage preference includes at least one traffic consumption scenario of the user in the target vehicle, such as listening to music, playing games, chasing dramas, etc., which correspond to music APPs, game APPs and TV APPs, etc., so that targeted traffic can be considered and recommended; the target operator information includes the identification information of the target operator network selected by the terminal, representing the selected target operator network; the target package information includes the identification information of the target package selected by the terminal, representing the selected target package; the embedded user identification card configured in the target vehicle, that is, the eSIM card, can be bound to multiple different operator networks at the same time, making it convenient for users to choose a more suitable operator according to the region.

[0037] For example, the location information may be latitude and longitude information, administrative area information, etc.

[0038] In step S210 , if the eSIM cloud platform receives the network configuration instruction from the terminal, it obtains at least one operator network accessible to the target vehicle, ie, the operator network supported by the eSIM card, in response to the network configuration instruction.

[0039] In step S220, after the eSIM cloud platform determines at least one operator network that the target vehicle can access, it queries the first signal strength and first network rate of each operator network in the area where the target vehicle is located, so as to sort at least one operator network according to the first signal strength and the first network rate, and push the first sorting result to the terminal to achieve effective recommendation of the operator network.

[0040] In step S230, if the eSIM cloud platform receives the target operator information fed back by the terminal based on the first sorting result, it sorts at least one package under the target operator network according to the user's traffic usage preference, and pushes the second sorting result to the terminal to achieve effective recommendation of the package.

[0041] In step S240, if the eSIM cloud platform receives the target package information fed back by the user terminal based on the second sorting result, it allocates a code number to the embedded user identification card and activates the target package, thereby realizing the operator network configuration of the target vehicle.

[0042] In this embodiment, an intelligent recommendation algorithm is provided based on a multi-operator network, that is, operators and packages are recommended according to the vehicle's location and the user's traffic usage needs, which can effectively assist users in selecting operators and packages, so that vehicles can dynamically adapt to the best operator network and package in different regions, effectively avoiding problems such as decreased communication quality and excessive roaming charges that may occur during the network connection process, thereby improving the user experience.

[0043] In a possible embodiment, the target operator information fed back by the terminal based on the first sorting result is the target operator information selected by the user based on the first sorting result or the target operator information automatically selected by the terminal based on the first sorting result; the target package information fed back by the terminal based on the second sorting result is the target package information selected by the user based on the second sorting result or the target package information automatically selected by the terminal based on the second sorting result.

[0044] As a possible implementation, the eSIM cloud platform provides users with too few choices, making it impossible to select a more suitable carrier network based on their needs, and the system's lack of effective recommendations. Some users may not be familiar with professional terminology, leading to difficulty in making a choice. The eSIM cloud platform's recommendation algorithm provides users with a reference when selecting an eSIM for their vehicle, but does not force them to make a choice. Instead, it provides suggestions based on their priorities. Therefore, when the eSIM cloud platform pushes the first ranking results of carrier networks to the terminal, the user can refer to this ranking to make a selection. If the user does not make a selection, the terminal automatically selects the optimal carrier network and sends it back to the eSIM cloud platform. Similarly, when the eSIM cloud platform pushes the second ranking results of package plans to the terminal, the user can refer to this ranking to make a selection. If the user does not make a selection, the terminal automatically selects the optimal package and sends it back to the eSIM cloud platform.

[0045] In a possible embodiment, the network configuration instruction only carries the location information of the target vehicle, and while the terminal feeds back the target operator information based on the first sorting result, it sends the user's traffic usage preference information to the eSIM cloud platform.

[0046] In one embodiment, the network configuration instruction is generated by the terminal according to a preset configuration trigger condition, wherein the configuration trigger condition includes at least one of the target vehicle performing network configuration for the first time, the target vehicle network configuration reaching a preset polling cycle, and the target vehicle position change exceeding a preset range.

[0047] Among them, the target vehicle performs network configuration for the first time means that when the target vehicle performs operator network configuration and accesses the network system for the first time, it will trigger the terminal to generate network configuration instructions; the target vehicle network configuration reaches the preset polling cycle means that even if the target vehicle has completed the operator network configuration, the terminal will recheck or update its operator network configuration according to the set time period (such as weekly or when the vehicle computer is enabled), thereby generating network configuration instructions; the target vehicle position change exceeds the preset range means that the target vehicle moves from one geographical location to another, and the position change exceeds the preset range of the terminal (such as the longitude and latitude change reaches the preset threshold or the administrative area changes), which will also trigger the terminal to generate network configuration instructions.

[0048] In this embodiment, the target vehicle network configuration reaches the setting of the preset polling cycle, so that even if the position change of the target vehicle does not exceed the preset range of the terminal, the changes in the signal strength and network rate of each operator network in the current location area, or the changes in user traffic preferences will be taken into account, and the operator network will be adapted again; and the setting of the target vehicle position change exceeding the preset range will make it possible to adapt the operator network again once the target vehicle position change exceeds the preset range, so as to configure the appropriate operator network and package in the new location area.

[0049] In addition, based on the target vehicle network configuration reaching the preset polling cycle or based on the target vehicle position change exceeding the preset range, the results of re-adapting the operator network include: still using the original operator network and package, using another operator network and its corresponding package, and using the original operator network and another package.

[0050] In this way, based on the operator network adaptation method of multi-condition trigger mechanism, the function of binding eSIM cards to multiple operators is delegated to users, and users can continuously modify operators and packages according to their own car usage scenarios, truly realizing the core advantage of eSIM "electronic SIM technology integrated inside the device, which can activate mobile network services without physically inserting the card" in the target vehicles, thereby enhancing the intelligence of vehicle operator network management.

[0051] In a possible embodiment, if the embedded user identity card is bound to two or more target operator networks and the target package under each target operator network is activated, the eSIM cloud platform can delete the corresponding operator code based on the code deletion request sent by the terminal.

[0052] In this way, users can delete operator codes that are no longer in use, and no charges will be deducted after deletion.

[0053] See Figure 3 , Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of another operator network management method shown in an exemplary embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 As shown in FIG, this other operator network management method reflects the entire process from operator network configuration at vehicle purchase to subsequent management of operator networks and packages, involving terminals, vehicle management platform TSP (Telematics Service Provider, automotive remote communication service system), eSIM cloud platform and multiple operators, as detailed below:

[0054] 1. After purchasing a vehicle, the user enters their preferred regions and data usage preferences, and specifies the carrier and package at the salesperson's location. The vehicle management platform (TSP) receives the information and imports the vehicle purchase information. Before delivery to the car manufacturer, the eSIM cloud platform allocates the designated carrier code number and embeds it into the eSIM. The designated package is activated, and the user then requests the corresponding carrier to perform relevant operations. The vehicle is delivered after the carrier network configuration is completed.

[0055] 2. When the user's car usage scenario changes, the operator and package can be changed or added. That is, the eSIM cloud platform intelligently recommends suitable operators and packages based on the vehicle's current region and traffic usage, and returns the list to the terminal for the user to choose;

[0056] 3. If the user selects another operator and package based on the list, the user pays the eSIM cloud platform to allocate the other operator's code and activate the corresponding package again, and then the eSIM cloud platform requests the corresponding operator to perform relevant operations;

[0057] 4. To avoid expensive roaming charges, users can manually select a carrier to use while the vehicle is stopped, i.e., perform carrier network switching. After receiving the switching request, the eSIM cloud platform executes the switching operation and returns a message indicating that the switching is complete.

[0058] 5. Users can delete operator codes that are no longer in use through the terminal. After deletion, no charges will be deducted. That is, the eSIM cloud platform is requested to delete the code. After receiving the request, the eSIM cloud platform performs the deletion operation and requests the corresponding operator to perform relevant operations, that is, notifies the operator to stop billing, and then feedbacks the terminal that the deletion is successful and no charges will be made.

[0059] In one embodiment, ranking at least one operator network includes: performing weighted calculation on the first signal strength and the first network rate to obtain calculation results of each operator network; and ranking at least one operator network according to the calculation results of each operator network.

[0060] Among them, the first signal strength can be the average signal strength in the area where the target vehicle is located, and the first network rate can be the average network rate in the area where the target vehicle is located; the weight ratio of the weighted calculation can be set according to needs; the calculation results of each operator network are their respective network performance values, which can be recorded as the first network performance value.

[0061] In this embodiment, the network performance of the operator network is comprehensively evaluated from two dimensions: signal strength and network speed, and the operator networks are ranked based on the quality of the network performance, ensuring the reliability of the ranking and providing users with a reliable choice.

[0062] In one embodiment, at least one package under the target operator network is sorted according to traffic usage preference, including: determining at least one feasible package from at least one package according to the traffic usage preference, wherein the traffic usage preference includes at least one traffic consumption scenario; for each feasible package, calculating the traffic rate under each traffic consumption scenario; and sorting each feasible package according to the traffic rate under each traffic consumption scenario.

[0063] In this embodiment, at least one feasible package is matched from a variety of packages based on the user's traffic usage preference, and the traffic rates of each feasible package in different scenarios are further calculated in combination with the user's specific traffic consumption scenarios, thereby intelligently sorting the feasible packages, ensuring the reliability of the sorting, and providing users with reliable choices.

[0064] Exemplarily, the feasible packages are sorted according to the traffic rate in each traffic consumption scenario, including: calculating the average value of the traffic rate in each traffic consumption scenario, and sorting the feasible packages according to the size of the average traffic rate.

[0065] In one embodiment, each operator network in the first sorting result is associated with a first number of selected people within the location information area, and each package in the second sorting result is associated with a second number of selected people within the location information area, so that the terminal displays the user group preferences of the operator network within the location information area based on the first number of selected people, and displays the user group preferences of the packages under the target operator network based on the second number of selected people.

[0066] In this embodiment, the number of users who choose the operator network and package in the location information area is combined to display the selection preferences of the user group, providing users with a multi-dimensional reference and enhancing the user's decision-making experience.

[0067] See Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a flowchart showing a recommended operator network and package according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 As shown, the steps for the eSIM cloud platform to recommend operators and packages are as follows:

[0068] 1. The eSIM cloud platform receives the administrative area of the frequently used vehicle provided by the terminal, calculates the latitude and longitude range of the administrative area, and queries multiple operators for the average signal strength and network speed of multiple operator networks within the range. After receiving the average signal strength and network speed averages fed back by multiple operators, the platform performs a weighted calculation on the average signal strength and network speed averages (for example, a weighted ratio of 7:3) to obtain the final average value, i.e., the network performance value. For each operator network, the platform also associates the number of selected users in the current administrative area. The platform then ranks the operator networks according to their network performance values and feeds them back to the terminal to provide a reference for the user.

[0069] 2. Based on the user's selected specific operator and the user's traffic usage preferences as fed back by the terminal, the eSIM cloud platform queries the corresponding operator for all packages under the operator's network, obtains a package list, and then recommends packages based on traffic usage preferences. That is, it considers limited-time general and targeted traffic based on various traffic consumption scenarios, and calculates traffic rates under different scenario characteristics. For each package, it also associates the number of other users in the current administrative area who have chosen it. Then, the packages are sorted according to the size of the traffic rate and fed back to the terminal to provide users with a reference for selection.

[0070] In one embodiment, after assigning a code number to the embedded user identification card and activating the target package, it also includes: if the embedded user identification card is bound to two or more target operator networks, and the target package under each target operator network is activated, then when the target vehicle network configuration reaches a preset polling cycle or the target vehicle position changes beyond a preset range, according to the preset recommendation strategy, a network switching recommendation is pushed to the terminal, wherein the recommendation strategy includes a network performance priority strategy and / or a cost priority strategy.

[0071] The network performance priority strategy refers to pushing the carrier network with the best network performance to the terminal; the cost priority strategy refers to pushing the carrier network with the lowest package cost to the terminal. In addition, the recommendation strategy includes a network performance priority strategy and / or a cost priority strategy. Users can choose to configure the recommendation strategy. Based on the terminal configuration, they can push only the carrier network with the best network performance, only the carrier network with the lowest package cost, or both the carrier network with the best network performance and the carrier network with the lowest package cost to the terminal.

[0072] In this embodiment, taking into account changes in time and location, the operator network cannot adapt flexibly, which may lead to slower network speeds and even expensive roaming charges. Therefore, by pushing network switching suggestions based on network performance or cost priority strategies when the polling cycle or location change conditions are met, users are provided with a variety of intelligent, flexible, and different car usage scenario strategies, thereby enhancing the user experience.

[0073] In addition, the eSIM cloud platform only pushes network switching suggestions to the terminal for user reference, but does not force users to switch operator networks. Therefore, during the user's operator subscription selection and operator switching selection process, the eSIM cloud platform will give users recommended solutions and display the eSIM cloud platform's statistical analysis data to users for reference, but does not force users to make a choice. After the user confirms to use the recommended operator, he / she will notify the eSIM cloud platform to perform the operator network switching operation.

[0074] In one embodiment, according to a preset recommendation strategy, a network switching recommendation is pushed to the terminal, including: querying the second signal strength and second network rate of each target operator network in the current location area of the target vehicle; sorting each target operator network according to the second signal strength and the second network rate to obtain a third sorting result; determining the first target operator network to be pushed according to the third sorting result; generating a network switching recommendation based on the first target operator network and pushing it to the terminal.

[0075] The second signal strength may be an average signal strength within the target vehicle's current location area, and the second network rate may be an average network rate within the target vehicle's current location area.

[0076] Exemplarily, the first target operator network is the target operator network with the best network performance value in the third ranking result.

[0077] In this embodiment, based on the conditions that the target vehicle network configuration reaches a preset polling cycle or the target vehicle position changes beyond a preset range, the bound operator networks are sorted by the signal strength and network rate of the current location area, and the target operator network to be pushed is determined by the network performance priority strategy, thereby ensuring the reliability of the recommendation.

[0078] Exemplarily, sorting the target operator networks according to the second signal strength and the second network rate includes: performing weighted calculation on the second signal strength and the second network rate to obtain a network performance value; and sorting the target operator networks according to the size of the network performance value.

[0079] The network performance value may be recorded as the second network performance value; and the weight ratio of the weighted calculation may be set as required.

[0080] In one embodiment, according to a preset recommendation strategy, pushing a network switching recommendation to a terminal also includes: removing a target operator network whose network performance value is less than a preset network performance threshold from a third sorting result; re-sorting the target operator networks in the third sorting result after the removal processing according to the package fees to obtain a fourth sorting result; determining a second target operator network to be pushed based on the fourth sorting result; generating a network switching recommendation based on the second target operator network, and pushing it to the terminal.

[0081] Exemplarily, the second target operator network is the target operator network with the lowest package fee in the fourth ranking result.

[0082] In this embodiment, by eliminating operators whose network performance does not meet the standards and re-sorting them based on package costs, the target operator network to be pushed is determined based on the cost priority strategy. This can optimize the rate selection while ensuring network quality, ensuring the reliability of the recommendation.

[0083] In a possible embodiment, the target operator networks in the third sorting result after elimination may be re-sorted according to package rates to obtain a fourth sorting result.

[0084] In a possible embodiment, the terminal integrates an automatic reminder of whether to automatically switch the operator network entrance, and will remind you when the network quality may deteriorate or roaming charges may be incurred during vehicle activation and driving.

[0085] In a possible embodiment, the terminal has a smart pop-up reminder function.

[0086] For example, when the car computer is activated, the terminal will report the current latitude and longitude information of the vehicle to the eSIM cloud platform, and the eSIM cloud platform will recommend which operator is more suitable for the current binding. After the eSIM cloud platform returns the recommendation, the terminal will remind you through a smart pop-up window. If there is no operation within the preset terminal time (such as 3 seconds), the recommendation window will be closed.

[0087] For example, after the vehicle crosses the administrative area, the terminal will report the current latitude and longitude information of the vehicle to the eSIM cloud platform, and the eSIM cloud platform will recommend which operator is more suitable for the current binding. After the eSIM cloud platform returns the recommendation, the terminal will remind you through a smart pop-up window. If there is no operation within the preset terminal time (such as 3 seconds), the recommendation window will be closed.

[0088] See Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a flow chart showing a method of switching an operator network according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 As shown, for vehicles that have been bound to two or more operator networks, the steps for switching operator networks are as follows:

[0089] 1. When the vehicle computer is activated or the administrative area changes, the operator network switching process is triggered;

[0090] 2. The tbox (telematics box) manages its location and reports its current longitude and latitude to the eSIM cloud platform. After receiving the longitude and latitude information, the eSIM cloud platform queries the carriers and plans activated for the target vehicle. It also queries the corresponding carriers for the signal strength and average network speed of the activated carriers at the latitude and longitude information. Based on the network performance priority strategy, it returns the carrier network with the best network performance to the terminal, and selects carrier networks with medium signal strength and average network speed. It then calculates the rates for each subscribed plan and, based on the cost priority strategy, returns the carrier network with the lowest rate to the terminal.

[0091] 3. The user selects whether to switch the SIM card on the terminal interface, that is, whether to switch to the current carrier network. If the user chooses to switch, the eSIM cloud platform will perform the SIM card switch operation and return a confirmation message after the card switch operation is completed. If the user chooses not to switch or does not make a selection, the carrier network switch will not be performed.

[0092] The above-mentioned operator network management method first obtains at least one operator network accessible to the target vehicle in response to a network configuration instruction sent by the terminal. The network configuration instruction carries the target vehicle's location information and the user's traffic usage preferences. The target vehicle is equipped with an embedded user identification card. The method then queries the first signal strength and first network speed of each operator network within the location information area, sorts at least one operator network, and pushes the first sorting result to the terminal. If the terminal receives target operator information feedback based on the first sorting result, it sorts at least one package under the target operator network based on the traffic usage preference and pushes the second sorting result to the terminal. If the user terminal receives target package information feedback based on the second sorting result, it assigns a code number to the embedded user identification card and activates the target package. Based on multiple operator networks, an intelligent recommendation algorithm is provided, that is, operator and package recommendations are made based on the vehicle's location and the user's traffic usage needs. This can effectively assist users in selecting operators and packages, allowing vehicles to dynamically adapt to the optimal operator network and package in different regions, effectively avoiding problems such as decreased communication quality and excessive roaming charges that may occur during network connection, and improving the user experience.
