[0027] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained based on the embodiments in the present application belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0028] In the embodiments of the present application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of the present application should not be interpreted as being more preferred or more advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present related concepts in a specific way.

[0029] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described below are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0030] The embodiments of the present application relate to vehicle-mounted satellite communication and vehicle-mounted satellite terminal. For ease of understanding, the vehicle-mounted satellite communication and vehicle-mounted satellite terminal involved in the embodiments of the present application are first introduced.

[0031] Vehicle-mounted satellite communication is a technology that enables communication between vehicles and satellites through vehicle-mounted satellite terminals. Vehicle-mounted satellite communication technology allows vehicles to maintain a stable communication connection with satellites, thereby enabling information exchange between vehicles and the outside world. Figure 1 FIG. 1 shows an example of the architecture of a vehicle-mounted satellite communication system. Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle-mounted satellite communication system may include a vehicle-mounted system 110 , a vehicle-mounted satellite terminal 120 , a communication satellite 130 , and a target terminal 140 .

[0032] The vehicle system 110 is used to provide functions such as infotainment, navigation, vehicle control and safety assistance to enhance the driving experience. The vehicle system 110 may include components such as a central processing unit, a touch screen, a multimedia player, a navigation module, a Bluetooth module, a wireless fidelity (WiFi) module, and a voice recognition module.

[0033] The vehicle-mounted satellite terminal 120 can provide functions such as data transmission, voice communication, positioning services, emergency communications, remote monitoring and management, and navigation services through a satellite network. The vehicle-mounted satellite terminal 120 can be a communication device integrated inside the vehicle, or it can be a portable communication device that can be easily disassembled. The vehicle-mounted satellite terminal 120 can be an ordinary vehicle-mounted satellite terminal that provides a single satellite communication function, such as a satellite phone terminal, a data transmission terminal, etc. The vehicle-mounted satellite terminal 120 can also be a satellite communication box (satellite communication box, S-Box) that integrates multiple satellite communication functions. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the satellite communication network used by the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal 120. The vehicle-mounted satellite terminal 120 can be a vehicle-mounted terminal that realizes satellite communication through the Tiantong satellite communication network (can be called a vehicle-mounted Tiantong satellite device), can be a vehicle-mounted terminal that realizes satellite communication through the Beidou satellite communication network (can be called a vehicle-mounted Beidou satellite device), and can also be a vehicle-mounted terminal that realizes satellite communication through other satellite communication networks.

[0034] Figure 2 FIG. 1 shows a possible structure of the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal 120. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that Figure 2 The structure shown in the figure does not constitute a limitation on the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal 120. The vehicle-mounted satellite terminal 120 may include Figure 2 More or fewer components may be shown, or certain components may be combined. Figure 2 As shown, the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal 120 may include an antenna system 1201, a signal processing unit 1202, an encryption module 1203, a user interface 1204, and an external interface 1205. The antenna system 1201 is used to transmit and receive satellite signals to ensure a stable communication connection with the satellite. The signal processing unit 1202 is used to perform signal processing, such as modulation and demodulation, to ensure the quality of the signal. The encryption module 1203 is used to execute signal processing algorithms, such as data compression, encryption and decryption, etc., to ensure the security and integrity of the data. The user interface 1204 is used for the user to interact with the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal 120. The external interface 1205 is used to connect with other devices (such as external data sources).

[0035] In addition to the above components, the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal 120 may also be equipped with a SIM card. The SIM card may be a physical card that is detachably installed in the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal 120. Alternatively, the SIM card may not be a physical card, but may be integrated or embedded in the hardware of the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal 120. The SIM card may be used to implement functions such as enabling network permissions and user identity authentication in satellite communications. After the SIM card is activated, the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal 120 can access the corresponding satellite communication network. When the SIM card is not activated, the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal 120 may not be able to access the corresponding satellite communication network. Alternatively, when the SIM card is not activated, the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal 120 can access the corresponding satellite communication network, but the satellite communication function of the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal 120 is limited. The satellite communication function here is limited, for example, the communication number range of the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal 120 is limited. The user identity information can be stored in the SIM card to uniquely identify the user's identity. Generally, before activating the SIM card, the user needs to perform real-name authentication to bind the user's personal information to the SIM card.

[0036] The communication satellite 130 is used to receive signals sent by the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal and forward the received signals to the target terminal. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the type of the communication satellite 130. The communication satellite 130 may be, for example, a Tiantong satellite or a Beidou satellite.

[0037] The target terminal 140 is used to receive satellite signals sent by the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal 120, and to send satellite signals to the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal 120. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the type of the target terminal 140. The target terminal 140 can be, for example, a vehicle-mounted satellite terminal on other vehicles, a ground station, a handheld satellite phone, a smart home device, an emergency response center, etc.

[0038] The following is a vehicle-mounted satellite terminal 120 having Figure 2The structure shown in the figure is used as an example to describe the process of vehicle-mounted satellite communication in detail. The user can initiate a communication request by touching the touch screen of the vehicle-mounted system 110. Alternatively, the user can initiate a communication request by issuing a voice command. The communication request can carry the number corresponding to the target terminal 140, which is used to indicate which target terminal the user wants to communicate with by satellite. In response to the communication request button on the touch screen being pressed or in response to the voice recognition module receiving the communication request voice command, the central processor of the vehicle-mounted system 110 controls the Bluetooth module or the WiFi module to send the communication request to the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal 120. The user interface 1204 of the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal 120 receives the communication request from the vehicle-mounted system 110, and the antenna system 1201 and the signal processing unit 1202 adjust their own states to a suitable state in response to the communication request. The signal processing unit 1202 converts the information to be sent (such as voice information, data information, etc.) into a signal format suitable for satellite transmission, and sends the signal to the communication satellite 130 through the antenna 1201. The communication satellite 130 receives the signal sent by the antenna 1201 of the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal 120 , processes the received signal, such as demodulating the signal, and sends the processed signal to the target terminal 140 .

[0039] In order to ensure that the satellite communication function of the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal 120 is in good condition, the satellite communication function of the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal 120 needs to be tested during the vehicle testing phase. During the test, the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal 120 is within the coverage of the satellite signal, and the tester or other personnel may use the satellite communication function of the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal 120 to implement telecommunications fraud, thereby causing losses to others. In order to prevent telecommunications fraud, during the testing phase, a communication management function can be set for the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal 120 to limit the communication number range of the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal 120. That is, during the testing phase, the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal 120 can only conduct satellite communications with target terminals corresponding to one or more specific communication numbers, but cannot conduct satellite communications with terminals corresponding to communication numbers other than the specific communication numbers. The satellite communications here may include making and answering satellite calls, sending and receiving satellite text messages (or short messages), etc. The above-mentioned one or more specific communication numbers can be determined based on a preset communication whitelist. For example, a communication whitelist such as Figure 3The communication whitelist shown in the figure may include n communication numbers, and the n communication numbers may correspond to the target terminals 1 to n one by one, wherein n is an integer greater than or equal to 1. The satellite phone dialing function, satellite phone receiving function, satellite SMS sending function and satellite SMS receiving function of the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal 120 may be tested respectively based on the above communication whitelist. When testing the satellite phone dialing function of the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal 120, the production line tester may initiate a satellite call request through the touch screen of the vehicle-mounted system 110 and enter the communication number on the touch screen. If the input communication number is any one of the communication numbers 1 to n, the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal 120 responds to the satellite call request and calls the target terminal corresponding to the input communication number. If the input communication number does not belong to the communication number 1 to n, the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal 120 refuses to call the terminal corresponding to the input communication number. When testing the satellite phone answering function of the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal 120, if the production line tester uses any one of the target terminals 1 to n to call the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal 120, the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal 120 can answer the call normally. If the production line tester uses any terminal other than the target terminal 1 to n to call the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal 120, the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal 120 automatically hangs up. The process of testing the satellite SMS sending function and the satellite SMS receiving function of the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal 120 is similar to the process of testing the satellite phone dialing function and the satellite phone receiving function of the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal 120, and will not be repeated here.

[0040] As can be seen from the above description, during the test period, the communication number range of the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal is limited, and the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal can only perform satellite communication with target terminals corresponding to several fixed numbers. However, during the normal use stage, it is necessary to remove the restriction on the communication number range of the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal. The following is a detailed description of how to remove the restriction on the communication number range of the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0041] In order to remove the restriction on the communication number range of the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal, an embodiment of the present application provides a communication management method, which is applied to a first cloud platform. The first cloud platform is in communication connection with the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal and the second cloud platform, and the second cloud platform is a cloud platform maintained by the operator of the satellite communication system. The method includes: the first cloud platform receives a first signal from the second cloud platform indicating that the SIM card of the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal has been activated; the first cloud platform responds to the first signal and sends a second signal to the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal to instruct the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal to turn off the communication management function. Using this method, the restriction on the communication number range of the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal can be removed through the cloud.

[0042] Combine the following Figures 4 to 7 , the communication management method provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail.

[0043] Figure 4 This is a platform architecture diagram related to the communication management method provided in the embodiment of this application. Figure 4 As shown, the communication management method provided in the embodiment of the present application is applied to the first cloud platform, and the first cloud platform can be regarded as the main body for executing the communication management method provided in the embodiment of the present application. The first cloud platform is respectively connected to the second cloud platform and the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal for communication.

[0044] The first cloud platform may be a platform that provides various services for vehicles through cloud computing. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the type of the first cloud platform. The first cloud platform may be a cloud platform that provides services using a ground network. Alternatively, the first cloud platform may also be a cloud platform that provides services using a satellite network. For example, the first cloud platform may be a cloud platform maintained by a company engaged in satellite launch services. The services that the first cloud platform may provide include, but are not limited to, managing on-board satellite equipment, managing satellite information logs, managing satellite SIM cards, and providing one or more intermediate links for satellite short messages.

[0045] The second cloud platform may be a cloud platform maintained by an operator of the satellite communication system. The second cloud platform may be used to support satellite communication services. The functions of the second cloud platform include, but are not limited to, one or more of communication management, data transmission and storage, resource management, user management, and security and privacy management. For example, the second cloud platform may be a cloud platform maintained by an operator of the Beidou satellite communication system, and the second cloud platform may also be a cloud platform maintained by an operator of the Tiantong satellite communication system (which may be referred to as the Tiantong operator cloud platform).

[0046] The first cloud platform is connected to the second cloud platform in communication, so that the first cloud platform can receive signals from the second cloud platform. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the connection method between the first cloud platform and the second cloud platform. For example, the cloud interface of the first cloud platform can be interconnected with the cloud interface of the second cloud platform through a ground network. For another example, the cloud interface of the first cloud platform can be interconnected with the cloud interface of the second cloud platform through a satellite network.

[0047] The embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the structure of the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal. For example, the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal may have the following structure: Figure 2The structure shown. The vehicle-mounted satellite terminal can be a vehicle-mounted terminal that realizes satellite communication through the Tiantong satellite communication network, can be a vehicle-mounted terminal that realizes satellite communication through the Beidou satellite communication network, or can be a vehicle-mounted terminal that realizes satellite communication through other satellite communication networks. When the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal is a vehicle-mounted terminal that realizes satellite communication through the Tiantong satellite communication network, the second cloud platform can be the Tiantong operator cloud platform. The vehicle-mounted satellite terminal has a communication management function. The communication management function can be used to limit the communication number range of the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal when the SIM card of the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal is in an unactivated state. For example, when the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal is in the testing phase, the SIM card of the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal is in an unactivated state. For another example, when the testing phase is over but the user (car owner) has not activated the SIM card of the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal, the SIM card of the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal is in an unactivated state. Limiting the communication number range of the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal may include: only allowing the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal to make satellite calls to the terminal corresponding to the specific communication number; only allowing the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal to receive satellite calls made by the terminal corresponding to the specific communication number; only allowing the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal to send satellite text messages to the terminal corresponding to the specific communication number; and only allowing the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal to receive satellite text messages sent by the terminal corresponding to the specific communication number. Optionally, in some embodiments, the communication number range of the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal may be limited based on a preset communication whitelist. The preset communication whitelist may include one or more preset communication numbers. The one or more preset communication numbers may correspond one-to-one to one or more target terminals.

[0048] The vehicle-mounted satellite terminal is connected to the first cloud platform in a communication manner, so that the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal can receive signals from the first cloud platform. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the connection method between the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal and the first cloud platform. The vehicle-mounted satellite terminal can be connected to the first cloud platform in a communication manner via a cellular network. Alternatively, the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal can also be connected to the first cloud platform in a communication manner via a satellite communication network.

[0049] Based on the above platform architecture, the following Figure 5 The communication management method provided by the embodiment of the present application is described. Figure 5 As shown, the communication management method may include the following steps S510 and S520.

[0050] In step S510, the first cloud platform receives a first signal from the second cloud platform, wherein the first signal is used to indicate that the SIM card of the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal has been activated.

[0051] The second cloud platform may send a first signal to the first cloud platform after the user activates the SIM card of the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal to inform the first cloud platform that the SIM card of the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal has been activated. Therefore, the first signal may also be referred to as an activation signal. Usually, before activating the SIM card of the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal, the user needs to complete the real-name authentication of the SIM card. Therefore, the first signal may also be referred to as a real-name signal, which is used to indicate that the SIM card of the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal has completed the real-name authentication.

[0052] Optionally, in some embodiments, the second cloud platform may also be connected to the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal for communication. The vehicle-mounted satellite terminal may send indication information to the second cloud platform after the SIM card is activated, and the indication information is used to indicate that the SIM card of the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal has been activated. The second cloud platform may send a first signal to the first cloud platform in response to the indication information.

[0053] The embodiment of the present application does not limit the type of SIM card. The SIM card can be a physical card that can be detachably installed in the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal. Alternatively, the SIM card can also be a non-physical card, but integrated or embedded in the hardware of the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal.

[0054] In step S520, the first cloud platform sends a second signal to the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal in response to the first signal, wherein the second signal is used to instruct the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal to turn off the communication management function.

[0055] As described above, the communication management function can be used to limit the communication number range of the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal when the SIM card of the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal is in an inactivated state. The first cloud platform receives the first signal, indicating that the SIM card of the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal is no longer in an inactivated state. Therefore, after receiving the first signal, the first cloud platform can send a second signal to the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal to instruct the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal to turn off the above-mentioned communication management function, thereby lifting the restriction on the communication number of the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal.

[0056] As mentioned above, in some embodiments, the communication number range of the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal can be limited based on a preset communication whitelist. Therefore, the second signal sent by the first cloud platform to the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal in response to the first signal can be a whitelist management instruction. The whitelist management instruction is used to instruct the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal to perform whitelist management to remove the restrictions of the communication whitelist through the cloud. The whitelist management here can, for example, delete the above-mentioned preset communication whitelist so that the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal is no longer restricted by the communication number in the preset communication whitelist.

[0057] Optionally, in some instances, after receiving the second signal sent by the first cloud platform, the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal may automatically shut down the communication management function of the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal.

[0058] Optionally, in other embodiments, after receiving the second signal sent by the first cloud platform, the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal may prompt the user to turn off the communication management function. The user may manually turn off the communication management function of the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal according to the prompt.

[0059] After turning off the communication management function of the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal, the user can use the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal to make satellite calls and send text messages to any target terminal that uses the same satellite communication network as the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal as needed, and can also receive satellite calls and text messages made by any target terminal that uses the same satellite communication network as the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal. For example, the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal is a vehicle-mounted terminal that conducts satellite communication through the Tiantong satellite communication network. After turning off the communication management function of the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal, the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal can make satellite calls and send text messages to any terminal that supports the Tiantong satellite communication network. The vehicle-mounted satellite terminal can also receive any satellite calls and text messages made through the Tiantong satellite communication network.

[0060] Through the above steps S510 and S520, the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal turns off the communication management function under the instruction of the first cloud platform, and removes the restriction on the communication number range of the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal through the cloud, thereby improving the user experience.

[0061] Another embodiment of the present application provides a communication management method. The communication management method is applied to the first cloud platform. Figure 6 As shown, the method may include the following steps S610 to S630.

[0062] In step S610, the first cloud platform receives a first signal from the second cloud platform, wherein the first signal is used to indicate that the SIM card of the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal has been activated.

[0063] This step S610 is the same as the above-mentioned step S510. For the relevant contents about the first cloud platform, the second cloud platform and the first signal, etc., please refer to the relevant description in the above-mentioned step S510, which will not be repeated here.

[0064] In step S620, the first cloud platform receives a third signal, where the third signal is used to indicate that the vehicle where the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal is located is in a startup state.

[0065] The third signal here is used to indicate that the vehicle where the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal is located is in a startup state. That is to say, the third signal may carry vehicle startup state information (or vehicle state information). The vehicle startup state information is used to indicate that the vehicle where the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal is located is in a startup state. The vehicle being in a startup state may indicate that various devices in the vehicle (including the vehicle-mounted system, the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal, etc.) are in an on state and corresponding operations may be performed. There may be multiple ways to implement the first cloud platform to receive the third signal, and the embodiments of the present application propose two possible implementation methods.

[0066] like Figure 6 As shown in step S620a in the first implementation, in the first implementation, the first cloud platform can directly receive the third signal from the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal. Optionally, in other embodiments, when the vehicle where the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal is located is started, the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal can generate a third signal based on the vehicle state information, and send the third signal to the first cloud platform to inform the first cloud platform that the vehicle is in the startup state. The platform architecture corresponding to the first implementation can be as follows: Figure 4 shown.

[0067] like Figure 6 As shown in step S620b in , in a second implementation, the first cloud platform may receive the third signal from another cloud platform (third cloud platform) other than the first cloud platform and the second cloud platform. The third cloud platform here may be a cloud platform that specifically provides cloud services for vehicles, and the third cloud platform may obtain vehicle status-related information from the vehicle based on a protocol with the vehicle. Optionally, in some embodiments, when the vehicle in which the on-board satellite terminal is located is started, the on-board satellite terminal may send the vehicle startup status information to the third cloud platform. The third cloud platform may generate a third signal based on the received vehicle startup status information, and send the third signal to the first cloud platform to inform the first cloud platform that the vehicle is in a startup state. The platform architecture corresponding to this implementation may be as follows: Figure 7 In this implementation, the third cloud platform can be used to centrally manage vehicle status related information, and the first cloud platform only needs to communicate with the third cloud platform to obtain vehicle status related information of different vehicles without having to communicate with different vehicles separately.

[0068] In step S630, the first cloud platform sends a second signal to the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal in response to the first signal and the third signal, wherein the second signal is used to instruct the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal to turn off the communication management function.

[0069] In step S630, the first cloud platform instructs the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal to turn off the communication management function when the two conditions that the SIM card of the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal has been activated and the vehicle where the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal is located is in the startup state are met. As mentioned above, after receiving the second signal, the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal can automatically turn off the communication management function or instruct the user to manually turn off the communication management function. In other words, turning off the communication management function may require the participation of devices in the vehicle (such as the vehicle-mounted system and the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal). If the vehicle is not in the startup state, the equipment in the vehicle may not work, which may result in the failure to successfully perform the operation of turning off the communication management function. Therefore, when the vehicle where the vehicle-mounted satellite communication terminal is located is in the startup state, instructing the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal device to turn off the communication management function can increase the possibility of successfully turning off the communication management function.

[0070] In the above-mentioned second implementation, the first cloud platform receives the third signal from the third cloud platform. The third cloud platform here can be a cloud platform maintained by the manufacturer (car factory) of the above-mentioned vehicle, that is, a car factory cloud platform. The services that the car factory cloud platform can provide include but are not limited to: vehicle monitoring and diagnosis, remote control and updating, data analysis and mining, etc. The car factory cloud platform is usually deeply integrated with the hardware and software systems of the vehicle and can provide more stable services. In addition, the car factory can directly provide technical support and maintenance services to ensure smoother communication between the vehicle and the cloud platform. Therefore, the first cloud platform can subscribe to the vehicle startup status information from the car factory cloud platform. When the vehicle is in the startup state, the car factory cloud platform can send a third signal to the first cloud platform to indicate that the vehicle is in the startup state. In this way, the first cloud platform can timely and accurately obtain the startup status information of the vehicle where the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal is located, thereby improving the timeliness and accuracy of communication management of the vehicle-mounted satellite terminal.

[0071] Combine the following Figure 8 , the communication management method provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in more detail. In the following example, the first cloud platform is the space-time satellite cloud platform, the second cloud platform is the Tiantong operator cloud platform, and the third cloud platform is the car factory cloud platform. The cloud interface of the space-time satellite cloud platform is interconnected with the cloud interface of the Tiantong operator cloud platform and the cloud interface of the car factory cloud platform respectively. The on-board satellite terminal is an S-Box. The S-Box conducts satellite communication through the Tiantong satellite communication network. The communication number range of the S-Box is limited by a preset communication whitelist, and it can only conduct satellite communication with the numbers in the communication whitelist. The S-Box is communicatively connected to the space-time satellite cloud platform.

[0072] In step S801, the space-time satellite cloud platform obtains the real-name signal sent by the Tiantong operator cloud platform through the cloud interface. The real-name signal indicates that the Tiantong SIM card of the S-Box has completed the real-name authentication.

[0073] In step S802, the space-time satellite cloud platform obtains the subscribed vehicle startup status information from the vehicle manufacturer cloud platform through the cloud interface. The vehicle startup status information indicates that the vehicle where the S-Box is located is in the startup state.

[0074] In step S803, the space-time satellite cloud platform determines that the Tiantong SIM card of the S-Box has completed real-name authentication based on the real-name signal obtained from the Tiantong operator cloud platform and the vehicle startup status information obtained from the car manufacturer cloud platform, and determines that the vehicle corresponding to the Tiantong SIM card is in the startup state.

[0075] In step S804, the space-time satellite cloud platform sends a whitelist management instruction to the S-Box via the Tiantong satellite communication link, informing the S-Box to perform the whitelist management operation.

[0076] In step S805, the S-Box responds to the whitelist management instruction and performs a whitelist management operation to remove the restriction on the communication number range of the S-Box by the communication whitelist.

[0077] In the above example, based on the three-party interconnection between the cloud interface of the Tiantong operator cloud platform, the cloud interface of the car manufacturer cloud platform and the cloud interface of the space-time satellite cloud platform, the satellite communication whitelist of the vehicle-mounted Tiantong satellite equipment is managed through the cloud.
