Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of mobile communications, and in particular, to a method, device, and chip for configuring SIM card files. Background Art

[0002] A SIM card (Subscriber Identity Module Card) is an IC card held by a mobile user of a Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), called a user identification card. The GSM system identifies GSM users through the SIM card. The same SIM card can be used on different mobile phones. A GSM mobile phone can only access the network after inserting the SIM card.

[0003] The SIM card is the key for a GSM mobile phone to connect to the GSM network. Once the SIM card is removed from the mobile phone, except for emergency calls, the mobile phone will not be able to enjoy various services provided by the network operator. In addition to serving as a key, the SIM card also provides many conveniences for users. Users can achieve communication by simply inserting or embedding the SIM card into any GSM terminal. The SIM card also manages a lot of information for the services provided to users and can be used to store short messages, especially those received when the user is powered off or not present.

[0004] With the current use by users, since some important information is stored in the SIM card, the SIM card will be retained when replacing the mobile terminal, and the opening and closing configurations of local additional services are mostly saved on the mobile terminal. If the user updates the terminal, the original configuration information will become invalid. Moreover, in current mobile communications, the Call Forwarding Indication Status (CFIS) of the SIM card only has information in the Circuit Switch (CS) domain but no information in the Packet Switch (PS) domain. The status of Call Forwarding Unconditional (CFU) is obtained by interacting with the network, that is, both activation and deactivation will be sent to the network first, and after success, it will be synchronized to the Call Forwarding Indication Status (CFIS) file. In this way, the CFU status needs to be obtained through the network every time, and the CFIS file in the current CFU-related information cannot save the URL format number and cannot be obtained when the mobile terminal is just powered on and not connected to the network, which affects the configuration efficiency of the SIM card.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new SIM card file configuration method, device and chip to solve the above problems existing in the prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide a SIM card file configuration method, device and chip, which can directly obtain the setting status information of the CFU of the SIM card after the user powers on the machine, without obtaining it through the network, improving the configuration efficiency of the SIM card.

[0007] To achieve the above object, the SIM card file configuration method of the present invention includes:

[0008] Read the relevant file information in the user space of the SIM card;

[0009] Obtain the service activation information in the service list according to the relevant file information;

[0010] After determining the existence of the first preset file according to the service activation information, read the indicator status value of unconditional call forwarding in the first preset file, wherein the first preset file is stored in the SIM card and is used to store the setting information of the unconditional call forwarding service in the user space;

[0011] Determine the on / off state of the unconditional call forwarding service according to the indicator status value.

[0012] The beneficial effect of the SIM card file configuration method of the present invention is that: the setting information of the unconditional call forwarding service in the user space is stored through the first preset file, so that the user terminal can directly obtain the setting status information of the CFU in the SIM card without the network during the initial startup process of inserting a new SIM card, improving the configuration efficiency of the SIM card and being applicable to different startup environments.

[0013] Optionally, the determining the existence of the first preset file according to the service activation information includes:

[0016] Optionally, after the user terminal initially obtains the on / off state of the unconditional call forwarding service, the on / off state of the unconditional call forwarding service is obtained through the network subsequently.

[0017] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0018] Read a second preset file stored in the SIM card, where the second preset file is used to store configuration information of local additional services;

[0019] The user terminal performs service configuration based on the configuration information of the local additional services.

[0020] The beneficial effect is that the configuration information of the local additional services of the SIM card is stored through the second preset file. After the user terminal is initially started, the configuration information of the local additional services in the SIM card can be quickly obtained through the second preset file, without having to update or back up the configuration information of the local additional services of the SIM card again.

[0021] Optionally, the local additional services include at least one of call waiting service and call supplementary service.

[0038] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings of the present invention. Apparently, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used herein shall have the ordinary meanings understood by those of ordinary skill in the art in the field to which the present invention belongs. The words such as "including" used herein mean that the elements or items appearing before the word cover the elements or items listed after the word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or items.

[0039] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, an embodiment of the present invention provides a SIM card file configuration method. Referring to Figure 1 , the method includes the following steps:

[0040] S101. Read relevant file information in the user space of the SIM card;

[0041] S102. Obtain service activation information in the service list according to the relevant file information;

[0042] S103. After determining the existence of the first preset file according to the service activation information, read the indicator status value of unconditional call forwarding in the first preset file, where the first preset file is stored in the SIM card and is used to store the setting information of the unconditional call forwarding service in the user space;

[0043] S104. Determine the on / off status of the unconditional call forwarding service according to the indicator status value.

[0044] In the existing SIM, the general call forwarding indication status CFIS only has information about the circuit switched domain CS but not the packet switched domain PS. For obtaining the status of unconditional call forwarding CFU, it is obtained by interacting with the network, that is, both activation and deactivation will be sent to the network first, and after success, it will be synchronized to the call forwarding indication status CFIS file. In this way, the CFU status needs to be obtained through the network every time.

[0045] Exemplarily, refer to Figure 2 , by expanding the first preset file in the SIM card to save the setting information of the unconditional call forwarding service CFU set in the user space. When the user terminal is initially started after installing the SIM card, the status of the additional service supporting Voice over Long-Term Evolution (VOLTE) is obtained through the network, and the services in the user space are read through the expanded first preset file CFISurl. Specifically, first read the relevant file information in the user space of the SIM card. After determining the activation of the associated service in the service list according to the relevant file information, it can be determined that the first preset file CFISurl exists, and then read the indicator status value of unconditional call forwarding in the first preset file, so as to directly obtain the status setting information of the unconditional call forwarding service CFU of the current SIM card according to the indicator status value, without the need to obtain it through the network. Thus, after the user terminal is started, the CFU status can be quickly obtained. Especially in the case of no network connection at initial power-on, the CFU status can be quickly obtained, improving the configuration efficiency of the SIM card.

[0046] It should be noted that the setting information of the unconditional call forwarding service CFU saved in the first preset file in the SIM card includes service setting status, format, and number information, so as to quickly save the URL format number through the first preset file.

[0047] In some embodiments, the determining the existence of the first preset file according to the service activation information includes:

[0048] After determining the activation of the call-related service according to the service activation information, determine the existence of the first preset file.

[0049] Specifically, if the service activation information in the service list determines that the call-related services are activated, including Service 49 and Service 99, it is determined that the call forwarding indication status CFIS and the first preset file exist. Subsequently, the status of CFU can be quickly obtained by reading the first preset file, improving the configuration efficiency of the SIM card.

[0050] In some embodiments, the method further includes obtaining the switch status of the unconditional call forwarding service through the network after determining that the call-related services are deactivated according to the service activation information.

[0051] In this embodiment, after determining that the related services are deactivated through the service activation information in the service list, the status of CFU cannot be directly obtained through the first preset file. At this time, the status of CFU is obtained through the network to ensure the normal configuration of the SIM card.

[0052] In some other embodiments, after the user terminal initially obtains the switch status of the unconditional call forwarding service, the switch status of the unconditional call forwarding service is subsequently obtained through the network.

[0053] Exemplarily, when the user terminal initially obtains the switch status of the unconditional call forwarding service, it includes obtaining through the network or through the first preset file, while the subsequent process of obtaining the CFU status is directly through the network.

[0054] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0055] Reading a second preset file stored in the SIM card, where the second preset file is used to store the configuration information of the local supplementary services;

[0056] The user terminal performs service configuration through the configuration information of the local supplementary services.

[0057] By configuring the second preset file in the SIM card, the configuration information of the local supplementary services of the SIM card is stored in the second preset file. After the user terminal restarts or inserts the SIM card for the first time, by reading the information stored in the second preset file EF_SS, the user terminal can quickly obtain the configuration information of the local supplementary services of the SIM card, completing the rapid configuration of the local supplementary services of the SIM card. Compared with the prior art in which the configuration information of the local supplementary services is saved in the terminal, adopting this solution, even if the user terminal is replaced, the configuration information of the local supplementary services can be quickly obtained by reading the SIM card without repeated configuration.

[0058] In some embodiments, the local supplementary services include at least one of call waiting service (CW) and calling line identification restriction (CLIR). It should be noted that, among the configuration information of the local supplementary services stored in the second preset file, the local supplementary service components include the above-mentioned CW service and CLIR service, and can also be extended to include other services. This solution does not make special limitations in this regard and will not be elaborated here.
