Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a method, device, terminal and storage medium for unlocking a user identity card. Background Art

[0002] The SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card is the key for the terminal to connect to the network. Users only need to insert the SIM card into any terminal to achieve communication. In order to protect their own interests, some network operators will add the SIMLock function to the operator-customized terminals. SIMLock is equivalent to a network lock. When the information in the SIM card does not match the information stored in the terminal, the terminal will turn on the SIMLock function, and the related functions of the SIM card cannot be used normally. For example, making calls, sending text messages, and accessing the network. Therefore, how to unlock the SIM card is a technical problem that needs to be solved.

[0003] In the related art, users can actively obtain the unlocking password by calling the operator's service phone or going to the operator's business hall. Then, by entering the unlocking password on the terminal, the SIM card can be unlocked. However, this solution not only requires user participation, but also requires the operator to invest technical personnel to support the unlocking process. Therefore, the operation process is relatively complicated and cumbersome, resulting in low efficiency of human-computer interaction. Summary of the invention

For example, the device identification of the terminal involved in this application is obtained with full authorization.

[0049] The user identity card unlocking method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be executed by a terminal. Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the implementation environment of a user identity card unlocking method provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 The implementation environment includes a terminal 101 and a server 102. The terminal 101 can be directly or indirectly connected to the server 102 through wired or wireless communication, which is not limited in this application.

[0050] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 may be a mobile phone, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a tablet computer, an intelligent voice interaction device, a vehicle-mounted terminal, or other types of terminals. The terminal 101 may be equipped with at least one SIM card, which may be an external SIM card or a built-in eSIM (embedded-SIM) card. The terminal 101 may communicate with the server 102 using the SIM card.

[0051] In some embodiments, the server 102 is an independent physical server, or a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server that provides basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communications, middleware services, domain name services, security services, CDN (Content Delivery Network), and big data and artificial intelligence platforms. The server 102 is managed by the network operator associated with the SIM card in the terminal 101.

[0052] In some embodiments, the server 102 undertakes the main computing work and the terminal 101 undertakes the secondary computing work; or, the server 102 undertakes the secondary computing work and the terminal 101 undertakes the main computing work; or, the server 102 and the terminal 101 adopt a distributed computing architecture to perform collaborative computing.

[0053] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a method for unlocking a user identity card provided in an embodiment of the present application. The method is executed by a terminal, see Figure 2 , the method comprising:

[0054] 201. In response to an unlocking operation on a user identity SIM card, switch a SIMLock function to a disabled state, where the SIMLock function is used to prohibit a terminal from using a SIM card for communication.

[0055] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal is provided with at least one card slot, and each card slot supports the insertion of a SIM card. The terminal can communicate through the SIM card. When the SIMLock function of the terminal is in an enabled state, the functions related to the SIM card cannot be used normally, so the terminal cannot use the SIM card for communication. For example, sending text messages, making calls, and accessing the network. When the user operates the terminal to unlock the SIM card, the terminal can respond to the unlocking operation of the SIM card and change the SIMLock function from an enabled state to a disabled state, so that the terminal can communicate through the SIM card.

[0056] 202. In response to the SIMLock function being in a disabled state, sending a network access request to a target server, where the target server is a server associated with a target network operator associated with the SIM card, and the network access request is used to request access to a network of the target server.

[0057] In an embodiment of the present application, when the SIMLock function is in a disabled state, the terminal can temporarily unlock the SIM card. At this time, the functions related to the SIM card can be used normally, so the terminal can access the network normally during the period when the SIMLock function is disabled. Since the network operators associated with the SIM cards of different users may be the same or different, the servers associated with different operators are different. Therefore, the terminal can send a network access request to the server associated with the target network operator associated with the SIM card to request access to the network of the server, so that the terminal can communicate with the server normally.

[0058] 203. When the disabled time of the SIMLock function is not greater than the time threshold and the network of the target server is successfully connected, an unlock request is sent to the target server, where the unlock request carries a device identification of the terminal. The target server determines whether to disable the SIMLock function based on the device identification.

[0059] In the embodiment of the present application, the disabled duration of the SIMLock function is the duration that the SIMLock function has been in a disabled state. When the disabled duration is not greater than the duration threshold, the SIMLock function can continue to be in a disabled state. After the terminal has sent the network access request, if the terminal receives the response information to the network access request returned by the target server, it means that the terminal has successfully accessed the network of the target server. Otherwise, the network of the target server has not been successfully accessed. Therefore, when the disabled duration is not greater than the duration threshold and the terminal successfully accesses the network of the target server, it means that the terminal has successfully accessed the network when the SIMLock function is in a disabled state. At this time, the terminal can send an unlock request to the target server to request to unlock the SIM card. After receiving the unlock request, the target server can determine whether to turn off the SIMLock function of the terminal corresponding to the device identifier according to the device identifier carried in the unlock request. Among them, the device identifier can be IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity). The duration threshold can be 40 seconds, 50 seconds, 60 seconds, etc., and the embodiment of the present application does not limit the value of the duration threshold.

[0060] 204. When the disabled time is not greater than the time threshold and a response message returned by the target server is received, a response operation indicated by the response message is performed, the response message is approval or refusal to unlock the SIM card, and the response operation is disabling or enabling the SIMLock function.

[0061] In an embodiment of the present application, after sending the unlock request, if the terminal receives a response message to the unlock request returned by the target server when the disabled time of the SIMLock function is not greater than the time threshold, it means that the target server has successfully received the unlock request and returns a response message according to the device identifier carried in the unlock request. If the response message is to agree to unlock the SIM card, the terminal can turn off the SIMLock function and completely unlock the SIM card. At this time, the terminal can maintain the network access state for communication without being restricted by the time threshold. On the contrary, if the response message is to refuse to unlock the SIM card, the terminal immediately restores the SIMLock function and changes the SIMLock function from a disabled state to an enabled state.

[0062] The embodiment of the present application provides a method for unlocking a user identity card. When unlocking a SIM card, the terminal temporarily disables the SIMLock function so that the terminal can access the network normally during the period when the SIMLock function is disabled. The terminal then establishes a network connection through a server associated with a network operator associated with the SIM card, and can send an unlock request to the server to request that the SIM card be unlocked. In the above implementation method, the user does not need to call the operator's service phone or go to the operator's business hall to obtain an unlock password for unlocking. The user only needs to temporarily disable the SIMLOCK function by operating the terminal when the SIM card needs to be unlocked, and the SIM card can be remotely unlocked. This not only simplifies the operation process of unlocking the SIM card, but also improves the efficiency of human-computer interaction.

[0063] Figure 3 is a flowchart of another method for unlocking a user identity card provided in an embodiment of the present application. The method is executed by a terminal, see Figure 3 , the method comprising:

[0064] 301. In response to an unlocking operation on a user identity SIM card, switch a SIMLock function to a disabled state, where the SIMLock function is used to prohibit a terminal from using a SIM card for communication.

[0065] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal is provided with at least one card slot, and each card slot supports the insertion of a SIM card. The terminal can communicate through the SIM card. When the SIMLock function of the terminal is in an enabled state, the functions related to the SIM card cannot be used normally, so the terminal cannot use the SIM card for communication. For example, sending text messages, making calls, and accessing the network. When the user operates the terminal to unlock the SIM card, the terminal can respond to the unlocking operation of the SIM card and change the SIMLock function from an enabled state to a disabled state, so that the terminal can communicate through the SIM card.

[0066] In some embodiments, by setting a times threshold, the number of times the SIM card is unlocked can be limited. Accordingly, in response to the unlocking operation of the SIM card, the number of times the SIM card is unlocked is determined; when the number of times the SIM card is unlocked is not greater than the times threshold, the SIMLock function is switched to a disabled state; when the number of times the unlocking fails is greater than the times threshold, a first prompt message is displayed, and the first prompt message is used to prompt that it is currently impossible to apply to unlock the SIM card. Before successfully unlocking the SIM card, the user can operate the terminal to unlock the SIM card multiple times, but the total number of unlocks cannot exceed the preset times threshold. Therefore, when the user unlocks the SIM card, the terminal can determine the number of times the SIM card is unlocked by detecting the unlocking process of the SIM card. When the number of unlocking failures is not greater than the times threshold, it indicates that the user can continue to unlock the SIM card, so the terminal can switch the SIMLock function to a disabled state, so that the terminal can access the network normally. On the contrary, when the number of unlocking failures is greater than the times threshold, it indicates that it is currently impossible to continue to unlock the SIM card, and the terminal cannot disable the SIMLock function. The terminal can prompt the user that it is currently impossible to apply to unlock the SIM card by displaying the first prompt message. By setting a threshold number of times, the terminal can limit the number of times the SIMLock function is temporarily disabled by the terminal, which makes it convenient for users to remotely unlock the SIM card while reasonably protecting the rights and interests of the network operator associated with the SIM.

[0067] It should be noted that the above number threshold is not the total number of times the SIM card is unlocked, but the total number of times the user can operate the terminal to unlock the SIM card within a period of time. Therefore, if the number of unlocking failures is greater than the number threshold, the SIM card cannot be unlocked at present. However, after a period of time, the user can operate the terminal again to unlock the SIM card. Alternatively, after restarting the terminal or reinserting the SIM card, the SIM card can be unlocked again. Among them, the number threshold can be 3, 4, 5, etc.

[0068] In some embodiments, the terminal can display the unlocking method of the SIM card on the unlocking interface for the user to choose. Accordingly, when it is detected that the SIMLock function is in an enabled state, a third prompt message is displayed, and the third prompt message is used to prompt whether to unlock the SIM card; in response to the confirmation operation of the third prompt message, an unlocking interface is displayed, and the unlocking interface displays an automatic unlocking method and a manual unlocking method; in response to the selection operation of the automatic unlocking method, the SIMLock function is switched to a disabled state. Among them, when it is detected that the SIMLock function is in an enabled state, it indicates that the SIM card is in a locked state at this time, and the terminal cannot use the SIM card for communication. By displaying the third prompt message, the terminal can prompt the user whether to unlock the SIM card. When the confirmation operation of the third prompt message is detected, the terminal can display the unlocking method in the unlocking interface for the user to choose. The unlocking method includes an automatic unlocking method and a manual unlocking method. When the user selects the automatic unlocking method, the terminal can switch the SIMLock function to a disabled state, so that the terminal can access the network normally, and automatically unlock after successfully accessing the network. The above unlocking method simplifies the operation process of unlocking the SIM card and improves the efficiency of SIM card unlocking.

[0069] In some embodiments, the user can also operate the terminal to manually unlock the SIM card. Accordingly, in response to the selection operation of the manual unlocking mode, the password input area is displayed on the unlocking interface; in response to the password input operation of the password input area, when the input password in the password input area is consistent with the unlocking password of the SIM card, the SIMLock function is turned off. Among them, when the user selects the manual unlocking mode, the terminal can display the password input area on the unlocking interface. By verifying the password entered by the user in the password input area, the terminal can turn off the SIMLock function when the input password is consistent with the unlocking password of the SIM card, thereby unlocking the SIM card.

[0070] 302. In response to the SIMLock function being in a disabled state, sending a network access request to a target server, where the target server is a server associated with a target network operator associated with the SIM card, and the network access request is used to request access to a network of the target server.

[0071] In an embodiment of the present application, when the SIMLock function is in a disabled state, the terminal can temporarily unlock the SIM card. At this time, the functions related to the SIM card can be used normally, so the terminal can access the network normally during the period when the SIMLock function is disabled. Since the network operators associated with the SIM cards of different users may be the same or different, the servers associated with different operators are different. Therefore, the terminal can send a network access request to the server associated with the target network operator associated with the SIM card to request access to the network of the server, so that the terminal can communicate with the server normally.

[0072] In some embodiments, the terminal can send a network access request to the target server multiple times. Accordingly, when the disabled time is not greater than the time threshold and the network is not successfully accessed, the network access request is repeatedly sent to the target server every X seconds until the network of the target server is successfully accessed, where X is a positive integer. Wherein, after the terminal has sent the network access request, if the terminal does not receive the response information to the network access request returned by the target server, it means that the terminal has not successfully accessed the network of the target server. Since the disabled time of the SIMLock function does not exceed the time threshold at this time, it indicates that the SIMLock function can continue to be disabled. Therefore, the terminal can repeatedly send a network access request to the target server every X seconds when the disabled time is not greater than the time threshold until the terminal successfully accesses the network. By repeatedly requesting to access the network of the target server during the process of temporarily disabling the SIMLock function, the terminal can improve the success rate of the terminal's access to the network and avoid sending the situation where the terminal fails to access the network due to network abnormalities or server abnormalities.

[0073] 303. When the disabled time of the SIMLock function is not greater than the time threshold and the network of the target server is successfully connected, an unlock request is sent to the target server, where the unlock request carries a device identification of the terminal. The target server determines whether to disable the SIMLock function based on the device identification.

[0074] In the embodiment of the present application, the disabled duration of the SIMLock function is the duration that the SIMLock function has been in a disabled state. When the disabled duration is not greater than the duration threshold, the SIMLock function can continue to be in a disabled state. After the terminal has sent the network access request, if the terminal receives the response information to the network access request returned by the target server, it means that the terminal has successfully accessed the network of the target server. Otherwise, the network of the target server has not been successfully accessed. Therefore, when the disabled duration is not greater than the duration threshold and the terminal successfully accesses the network of the target server, it means that the terminal has successfully accessed the network when the SIMLock function is in a disabled state. At this time, the terminal can send an unlock request to the target server to request to unlock the SIM card. After receiving the unlock request, the target server can determine whether to turn off the SIMLock function of the terminal corresponding to the device identifier according to the device identifier carried in the unlock request. Among them, the device identifier can be IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity). The duration threshold can be 40 seconds, 50 seconds, 60 seconds, etc., and the embodiment of the present application does not limit the value of the duration threshold.

[0075] In some embodiments, the terminal can send an unlock request to the target server multiple times. Accordingly, when the disabled time is not greater than the time threshold and no response information is received, the unlock request is repeatedly sent to the target server every Y seconds until the response information returned by the target server is received, where Y is a positive integer. Wherein, after the terminal has sent the unlock request, if the terminal does not receive the response information to the unlock request returned by the target server, it means that the target server has not successfully received the unlock request. Since the disabled time of the SIMLock function does not exceed the time threshold at this time, it indicates that the SIMLock function can continue to be disabled. Therefore, the terminal can repeatedly send an unlock request to the target server every Y seconds when the disabled time is not greater than the time threshold until the terminal receives the response information returned by the target server. By repeatedly requesting the target server to unlock the SIM card during the process of temporarily disabling the SIMLock function, the terminal can improve the success rate of unlocking the SIM card and avoid sending the situation where the SIM card unlocking fails due to network abnormalities or server abnormalities.

[0076] 304. When the disabled time is not greater than the time threshold and a response message is received, in response to the response message agreeing to unlock the SIM card, the SIMLock function is disabled.

[0077] In an embodiment of the present application, after sending the unlock request, if the terminal receives a response message to the unlock request returned by the target server when the disabled time of the SIMLock function is not greater than the time threshold, it means that the target server has successfully received the unlock request and returns the response message according to the device identifier carried in the unlock request. The terminal can perform the response operation indicated by the response message. If the response message is to agree to unlock the SIM card, the terminal can turn off the SIMLock function and completely unlock the SIM card. At this time, the terminal can maintain the network access status for communication without being restricted by the time threshold.

[0078] 305. When the disabled time is not greater than the time threshold and a response message is received, in response to the response message refusing to unlock the SIM card, the SIMLock function is switched to an enabled state, and access to the target server's network is prohibited.

[0079] In the embodiment of the present application, when the response information is to refuse to unlock the SIM card, the terminal can immediately restore the SIMLock function and change the SIMLock function from a disabled state to an enabled state. At this time, the SIM card is in a locked state, and the terminal cannot communicate through the SIM card. Therefore, the terminal is prohibited from accessing the network of the target server associated with the target network operator associated with the SIM card.

[0080] For example, Figure 4 FIG. 1 is an interactive flow chart of a SIM card unlocking method provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 4As shown, first, the terminal can provide an unlocking interface for the user to unlock the SIM card. In response to the unlocking operation of the SIM card, the terminal can temporarily disable the SIMLOCK function. Since the SIMLOCK function is temporarily disabled, the terminal sends a network access request to the target server to request access to the network of the target server. During the period of disabling the SIMLOCK function, if the terminal successfully accesses the network of the target server, the terminal can send an unlocking request to the target server, and the unlocking request carries the device identification of the terminal. The target server can determine whether to turn off the SIMLOCK function of the terminal based on the device identification carried in the unlocking request. During the period of disabling the SIMLOCK function, if the terminal receives a response message to the received request returned by the target server, the terminal can perform the response operation indicated by the response message. If the response message replied by the target server is to refuse to unlock the SIM card, the terminal will immediately restore the SIMLOCK function after receiving the response message, and change the SIMLOCK function from a disabled state to an enabled state. If the response message replied by the target server is to agree to unlock the SIM card, the terminal will turn off the SIMLOCK function of the terminal after receiving the response message, and maintain the network access state. In addition, in order to prevent the situation where the server does not respond to the unlock request or responds within a time limit due to server or network abnormalities during the unlocking period, the terminal can set a time threshold for temporarily disabling the SIMLOCK function. If no response is received when the SIMLOCK function has been disabled for longer than the time threshold, the SIMLOCK function is restored and the terminal is immediately disconnected from the network.

[0081] In some embodiments, the terminal can prompt the user that the SIM card unlocking failed by displaying a prompt message. Accordingly, in response to the failure to successfully access the network or the failure to receive the response message, a second prompt message is displayed, and the second prompt message is used to prompt that the SIM card unlocking failed. Among them, when the disabled time is greater than the time threshold, the SIMLock function cannot continue to be disabled. Therefore, when the disabled time is greater than the time threshold, if the terminal fails to successfully access the network or does not receive the response message, it indicates that the SIM card unlocking failed. Therefore, the terminal can display the second prompt message to prompt the user that the SIM card unlocking failed.

[0082] In some embodiments, the terminal can immediately restore the SIMLock function when the SIM card fails to be unlocked. Accordingly, in response to failure to successfully access the network or failure to receive a response message, the SIMLock function is switched to an enabled state, and access to the target server's network is prohibited. Wherein, within the duration threshold, if the terminal fails to successfully access the network or fails to receive a response message, it indicates that the SIM card has failed to be unlocked. The terminal can immediately restore the SIMLock function and change the SIMLock function from a disabled state to an enabled state. At this time, the SIM card is in a locked state, and the terminal cannot communicate through the SIM card, so the terminal is prohibited from accessing the network of the target server associated with the target network operator associated with the SIM card.

[0083] The embodiment of the present application provides a method for unlocking a user identity card. When unlocking a SIM card, the terminal temporarily disables the SIMLock function so that the terminal can access the network normally during the period when the SIMLock function is disabled. The terminal then establishes a network connection through a server associated with a network operator associated with the SIM card, and can send an unlock request to the server to request that the SIM card be unlocked. In the above implementation method, the user does not need to call the operator's service phone or go to the operator's business hall to obtain an unlock password for unlocking. The user only needs to temporarily disable the SIMLOCK function by operating the terminal when the SIM card needs to be unlocked, and the SIM card can be remotely unlocked. This not only simplifies the operation process of unlocking the SIM card, but also improves the efficiency of human-computer interaction.

[0084] All the above optional technical solutions can be arbitrarily combined to form optional embodiments of the present application, which will not be described one by one here.
