[0018] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present application, the service activation method, electronic device and storage medium provided in the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] The present application will be described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the embodiments shown may be embodied in different forms, and the present application should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth below. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the present application thorough and complete, and to enable those skilled in the art to fully understand the scope of the present application.

[0020] The accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present application are used to provide a further understanding of the embodiments of the present application, and constitute a part of the specification. Together with the detailed embodiments, they are used to explain the present application, and do not constitute a limitation of the present application. By describing the detailed embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings, the above and other features and advantages will become more obvious to those skilled in the art.

[0021] The present application may be described with reference to plan views and / or cross-sectional views by means of ideal schematic views of the present application. Therefore, the exemplary illustrations may be modified according to manufacturing techniques and / or tolerances.

[0022] In the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the features therein may be combined with each other.

[0023] The terms used in this application are only used to describe specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the application. The term "and / or" as used in this application includes any and all combinations of one or more related enumerated items. The singular forms "one" and "the" as used in this application are also intended to include plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. The terms "including", "made of..." as used in this application specify the presence of features, wholes, steps, operations, elements and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, wholes, steps, operations, elements, components and / or groups thereof.

[0024] Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used in this application have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the art. It will also be understood that terms such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art and this application, and will not be interpreted as having an idealized or overly formal meaning unless explicitly defined in this application.

[0025] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the network architecture of a service activation system according to an embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0026] like Figure 1As shown, the network architecture may include: a terminal device 10 and a satellite communication system 20. The terminal device 10 may be any electronic device with a SIM card installed, including but not limited to a personal computer, a smart phone, a tablet computer, a personal digital assistant, etc.; the satellite communication system 20 is used to provide a satellite communication network, and the satellite communication system 20 may include multiple satellites. It should be understood that Figure 1 The number of terminal devices in the figure is only for reference and can be adjusted flexibly according to actual application requirements.

[0027] In the related technology, a terminal device can connect to a server through a WiFi network or a cellular network to download the SIM card parameters stored on the server, and then update the SIM card parameters to the terminal device; if the terminal device is in an area where the mobile communication network is not covered, such as forests, deserts, oceans, and mountains, or if the mobile communication network is interrupted due to geological disasters, it will be impossible to download the satellite communication-related user identification card parameters on the server in the above manner.

[0028] However, the ordinary SIM card on the current terminal device cannot be directly used for satellite communication. Existing satellite communication systems, such as Beidou-3 and Tiantong-1, all have corresponding special satellite phone cards, which store satellite communication-related parameters and activate satellite communication services through these parameters. Therefore, in the related technology, to activate the satellite communication service, the ordinary SIM card on the current terminal device needs to be replaced with a special satellite phone card, which is costly and has a poor user experience.

[0029] Based on this, an embodiment of the present application provides a service activation method, which can activate satellite communication services on a terminal device “without changing the card or number”, thereby reducing the cost of activating satellite communication services, making it more applicable, and improving user experience and service competitiveness.

[0030] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a service activation method. The method can be applied to a terminal device, Figure 2 The flowchart of the service activation method provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 2 , the service activation method includes the following steps.

[0031] S210: Send a service activation request to the target satellite.

[0032] In this step, the target satellite may be a satellite searched by the terminal device through satellite search (star search).

[0033] As an example, a satellite communication system may include multiple satellites that orbit the earth. The satellite is captured by setting and adjusting the antenna, and the adjustment of the antenna includes but is not limited to adjusting the azimuth and elevation of the antenna, adjusting the band of the antenna receiving the signal, etc. As an example, according to the continuously adjusted azimuth and elevation, the antenna can be changed in azimuth and moved in elevation. During the azimuth change and elevation movement of the antenna, the terminal device can read the satellite signal strength level value received by the antenna and compare it with the preset value of the antenna system. When the level value is greater than the preset value, it is determined that the antenna has searched for (captured) a satellite, and the searched satellite is used as the target satellite.

[0034] It should be understood that there are many other ways to capture a satellite, and the corresponding capture method can be selected according to the actual scenario, which is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0035] As an example, the target satellite is a satellite that can provide satellite communication services, including but not limited to BeiDou-3, Tiantong-1, etc.

[0036] In some embodiments, a variety of communication modes can be supported between the terminal device and the target satellite, such as short messages, multimedia messages, voice, Bluetooth, WIFI, etc. The service activation method of the embodiment of the present application has no restrictions on the scope of use of the scene, and can achieve seamless coverage of oceans, mountains, grasslands, forests, Gobi, and deserts. The covered population includes various types of mobile users such as vehicles, aircraft, ships, and individuals, providing all-weather, all-day, stable and reliable mobile communication services for various fields such as personal communications, marine transportation, offshore fishing, aviation rescue, tourism, scientific research, etc., supporting voice, short messages and data services.

[0037] S220: Receive a feedback message for the service activation request sent by the target satellite.

[0038] In this step, the terminal device may receive a feedback message for the service activation request sent from the target satellite through any of the above communication methods.

[0039] S230: parse the subscriber identity card parameters from the feedback message.

[0040] In some embodiments, the user identification card parameters, i.e., SIM parameters, include but are not limited to at least one of the following parameter items: user identification of the terminal device, multicast identification, multicast subkey, communication length limit parameter, communication frequency control parameter, and international mobile equipment identity code of the terminal device.

[0041] S240, activating corresponding satellite communication services according to the analyzed subscriber identity card parameters.

[0042] According to the service activation method of the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device sends a service activation request to the target satellite, and receives a feedback message for the service activation request sent by the target satellite. When the user identification card parameters are parsed from the feedback message, the corresponding satellite communication service is activated using the user identification card parameters. Through this service activation method, the terminal device does not need to replace a special satellite phone card to activate the satellite communication service, which is beneficial to reducing the cost of activating the satellite communication service and improving the user experience. Moreover, according to this method, even in areas that are not covered by mobile communications, the Internet, etc., it is possible to activate the satellite service without changing the card, changing the number, or adding peripherals, thereby realizing the satellite-ground integrated communication service between the terminal device and the satellite communication system, which has the advantages of all-weather, wide coverage over the entire area, and high reliability.

[0043] In some embodiments, step S210 may specifically include: sending a service activation request to a target service address, where the target service address is an address for activating a satellite communication service.

[0044] As an example, the target service address may be a number provided by a satellite communication operator for activating / opening a satellite communication service, and the number is used to represent a specific communication address provided by the satellite communication operator.

[0045] In this embodiment, the terminal device can directly send the service activation request to the target satellite through the target service address without forwarding through the communication operator network, which is beneficial to improving the transmission efficiency of the service activation request and will not be affected by the communication operator network. Even if a communication connection cannot be established with the operator network, it will not affect the activation of the satellite communication service, thereby improving the reliability of the service activation request transmission during the service activation process.

[0046] In some embodiments, the terminal device includes a terminal display interface, the display content of the terminal display interface includes a first interactive element, and the first interactive element is used to trigger the sending of a service activation request; the above-mentioned step of sending a service activation request to the target service address may specifically include: in response to an operation instruction for the first interactive element, when it is determined that the satellite signal of the target satellite has been searched, sending a service activation request to the target service address.

[0047] As an example, the first interactive element may be an option or button provided by the terminal interface, and the display information of the first interactive element may be "activate satellite communication service", and in response to the operation instruction of the first interactive element, a service activation request may be sent to the target service address. Exemplarily, the operation instruction of the first interactive element may be an instruction triggered by an operation such as a click operation or a selection operation.

[0048] In this embodiment, if it is determined that the target satellite has been captured, the operation instruction of "activate satellite communication service" on the display interface of the terminal device can be triggered. The terminal device responds to the operation instruction by sending a service activation request to the target service address, and sends the service activation request to the target satellite through the target service address.

[0049] In some embodiments, the display content of the terminal display interface may further include a second interactive element. For example, the second interactive element may be an option or button provided by the terminal interface, and the display information of the second interactive element may be "search for communication satellites". In response to an operation instruction on the second interactive element, a search for a target satellite may be triggered.

[0050] In this embodiment, when the target satellite has been searched, the second interactive element is in a non-triggerable state; when the target satellite has not been searched, the second interactive element is in a triggerable state. As an example, the operation instruction for the first interactive element can be an instruction triggered by an operation such as a click operation or a selection operation.

[0051] In some embodiments, the service activation request includes N terminal identity identifiers, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 1, and the N terminal identity identifiers are used for terminal identity authentication, and the feedback message includes the terminal identity authentication result; step S230 may specifically include: parsing the terminal identity authentication result from the feedback message; when the terminal identity authentication result is used to indicate that the authentication of at least one terminal identity identifier is successful, parsing the user identification card parameters from the feedback message.

[0052] In this embodiment, the N terminal identities include but are not limited to: user mobile phone number (Mobile Station Integrated Services Digital Network, MSISDN), International Mobile Subscriber Identity (International Mobile Subscriber Identity, IMSI), International Mobile Equipment Identity (International Mobile Equipment Identity, IMEI), terminal model, terminal version number, etc.

[0053] In this embodiment, when the terminal identity authentication result is parsed from the feedback message, and the terminal identity authentication result indicates that the authentication of at least one terminal identity identification is successful, it can be determined that the target satellite has successfully authenticated the terminal device. Compared with the related technology of only authenticating the terminal IMEI number, the service activation method of the embodiment of the present application can provide more diverse terminal identity authentication methods, which is conducive to improving the success rate of service activation and the scope of use of the service activation method.

[0054] In some embodiments, the satellite may perform identity authentication on multiple terminal identities included in the service activation request, which is beneficial to improving the security of the terminal device using the satellite communication function.

[0055] In some embodiments, the service activation request includes user identity information, and the user identity information is used to indicate the type of service requested for activation; the user identification card parameter is used to activate the satellite communication service corresponding to the service type requested for activation.

[0056] In this embodiment, the user identity information includes at least: a user identification (Identity, ID) or other identity information, and the user identity information can be used to determine the type of service that the terminal device needs to activate.

[0057] Exemplarily, the business types identified by user identity information may include: industry business, user business and other businesses, among which industry business may include, for example, satellite small data station (Very Small Aperture Terminal, VSAT) network business of the oil system, settlement backup business of the financial industry, etc., and user business may include, for example, satellite telephone, satellite Internet access, live broadcast to home, digital distribution and other businesses.

[0058] Exemplarily, other identity information may include the card type corresponding to the user ID, and the card type may be used to indicate the type of satellite communication network supported, thereby determining the type of service to be activated. For example, a Beidou card supports access to the Beidou communication network, and accordingly, services related to the Beidou communication network need to be activated for the user; for example, a Tiantong card supports access to the Tiantong communication network, and accordingly, services related to the Tiantong communication network need to be activated for the user.

[0059] Exemplarily, the service type that needs to be activated and is identified by user identity information may include: at least one of: global networking service, regional networking service and domestic networking service. Among them, global networking service is a satellite communication service with service areas all over the world, regional networking service is a satellite communication service that provides communication services to multiple countries or regions in a certain area; domestic networking service is a satellite communication service that provides communication services domestically.

[0060] It should be understood that the service type may include multiple classification methods. In practical applications, the service type of the satellite communication service corresponding to the user identity information may be set according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations.

[0061] In this embodiment, the target satellite obtains user identity information from the service activation request, identifies the service type corresponding to the user identity information, and generates user identification card parameters corresponding to the service type; the terminal device can activate the satellite communication service of the corresponding service type according to the user identification card parameters.

[0062] In some embodiments, the service activation request includes service activation information, and the service activation information is used to indicate the service type of the service activation request; the subscriber identity card parameter is used to activate the satellite communication service corresponding to the service type.

[0063] In this embodiment, the service activation information can be directly included in the service activation request. According to the service activation information, the service type requested by the terminal device can be directly obtained. The target satellite can generate and send corresponding user identification card parameters according to the service type; the terminal device can activate the satellite communication service of the corresponding service type according to the received user identification card parameters. The specific content of the service type in this embodiment can be referred to the description of the above embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0064] In some embodiments, when the information capacity of a single feedback message is greater than or equal to the information amount of the user identification card parameters, the number of feedback messages is single; or when the information capacity of a single feedback message is less than the information amount of the user identification card parameters, the number of feedback messages is multiple.

[0065] In this embodiment, step S230 may specifically include: when the information capacity of a single feedback message is greater than or equal to the information volume of the subscriber identity card parameters, parsing the subscriber identity card parameters from the single feedback message.

[0066] Alternatively, step S230 may specifically include: when the information capacity of a single feedback message is less than the information amount of the user identification card parameters, respectively obtaining parameter items of the user identification card parameters carried in each feedback message from multiple feedback messages received in sequence, and generating the user identification card parameters according to the parameter items of all the obtained user identification card parameters; wherein the order of the multiple feedback messages is proportional to the importance of the parameter items contained in the corresponding feedback messages.

[0067] In this embodiment, when the information size (Size) of the SIM card parameter is less than the capacity of a single short message, the number of feedback messages received by the terminal device is one, and the one feedback message carries all the parameter items in the SIM parameter; when the size of the SIM card parameter exceeds the capacity of a single short message, the number of feedback messages received by the terminal device is multiple, and the multiple feedback messages are received in batches, and the order of the multiple feedback messages in batches is proportional to the importance of the parameter items contained in each feedback message; the terminal device can extract the parameter items carried in each message from the multiple feedback messages received, and obtain the SIM card parameter according to extracting all the parameter items from the multiple feedback messages. By transmitting the SIM card parameters in batches, a large amount of data can be divided into several batches for processing, which can improve the efficiency and flexibility of data transmission.

[0068] In some embodiments, after step S240, the method further includes: storing the user identification card parameters in a predetermined storage area of ​​the terminal device; setting the access rights of the predetermined storage area to: allowing a predetermined application running on the terminal device to access; or, the method further includes: when the terminal device has a specified international mobile equipment identity code, setting the access rights of the predetermined storage area to be accessible and non-copyable; or, the method further includes: setting the access rights of the predetermined storage area to be invisible to the user on the terminal display interface of the terminal device.

[0069] Exemplarily, the predetermined application may be at least one of a short message application, a multimedia message application, a call application, and a video application. It should be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, the predetermined application that can access the predetermined storage area can be set according to the actual requirements of the access rights, and the embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit it.

[0070] Exemplarily, the terminal device may pre-establish a file directory in a predetermined storage area, and store the subscriber identity card parameters in a folder of the file directory. The folder of the file directory may be an encrypted folder.

[0071] In this embodiment, the user identification card parameters are stored in a predetermined storage area, and the access rights of the predetermined storage area can be set. For example, it can be set to allow only one or more predetermined applications on the terminal device to access the predetermined storage area, or, only on a terminal device with a specified IMEI number (also known as a mobile phone serial number), the predetermined storage area is set to be allowed to be accessed and not to be copied, or, the access rights of the predetermined storage area are set on the terminal display interface to be invisible to the user.

[0072] Compared with the related art, the terminal does not need to perform permission management for the stored SIM card parameters. In the embodiment of the present application, various types of permission management can be performed on the predetermined storage area for storing the SIM card parameters in the terminal device, thereby avoiding the security risks caused by user misoperation and improving the security of access to the predetermined storage area corresponding to the SIM card parameters, thereby facilitating the improvement of the security of the SIM parameters and other related data stored in the predetermined storage area.

[0073] In some embodiments, in the above steps, storing the user identification card parameters in a predetermined storage area of ​​the terminal device may specifically include: encrypting the user identification card parameters to obtain a ciphertext of the user identification card parameters; storing the ciphertext of the user identification card parameters in a predetermined storage area, the predetermined storage area being: a predetermined secure storage area on the terminal device, or a physical user identification card of the terminal device, or an electronic user identification card of the terminal device.

[0074] In this embodiment, the SIM card parameters can be stored in the terminal device in ciphertext to improve the security of storing the subscriber identity card parameters, and the subscriber identity card parameters are stored in a predetermined secure storage area on the terminal device, effectively ensuring the secure storage of the SIM card parameters.

[0075] According to the service activation method of the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device can send a service activation request to the target satellite and receive a feedback message sent by the target satellite for the service activation request. When the user identification card parameters are parsed from the feedback message, the user identification card parameters are used to activate the corresponding satellite communication service. Through this service activation method, the terminal device does not need to replace a special satellite phone card to activate the satellite communication service, which is beneficial to reducing the cost of activating the satellite communication service and improving the user experience.

[0076] Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a detailed flow chart of a service activation method of an exemplary embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 As shown, when the service activation method is applied to a terminal device, the processor of the terminal device executes the following steps.

[0077] S301, capturing the satellite signal of the target satellite.

[0078] In this step, when the terminal device determines that the satellite signal of the target satellite has been searched, the "Activate Satellite Communication Service" button on the terminal display page is in an operation-permitting state, and in response to the triggering operation on the button, step S302 is executed.

[0079] S302, sending a service activation request to the target service address to apply for activation of the satellite communication service.

[0080] In this step, the target satellite can authenticate the terminal device according to the terminal device identifier included in the service activation request. After successful authentication, it generates satellite communication-related SIM card parameters for the terminal device and sends a feedback message carrying the SIM card parameters to the terminal device.

[0081] S303: monitor the feedback message sent by the satellite communication system.

[0082] S304, determining whether a feedback message sent by the satellite communication system is received; if so, continuing to execute S305; if not, executing S303.

[0083] S305: parse the identity authentication result in the feedback message.

[0084] S306, determine whether the identity authentication result is successful; if so, continue to execute S307; if not, end the process.

[0085] S307: parse the satellite communication related SIM card parameters in the feedback message.

[0086] In this step, compared with the related art, in which the terminal downloads common SIM card parameters (ie, does not support satellite communication services), in the present application, the terminal downloads satellite communication-related SIM card parameters.

[0087] S308: Store the SIM card parameters in a predetermined storage area on the terminal.

[0088] In this step, the predetermined storage area may be a secure storage area of ​​the terminal device, or a physical user identification card of the terminal device, or an electronic user identification card of the terminal device.

[0089] S309: Setting permissions for the predetermined storage area.

[0090] S310, displaying the activation result.

[0091] In this step, the terminal interface can display the activation result in real time, and the activation result is used to indicate whether the satellite communication service activation is successful or failed.

[0092] Through the above steps S301-S310, the terminal device can send a service activation request to the satellite communication system to apply for activation of the satellite communication service to the target satellite, and the satellite communication system can return a feedback message carrying the user identification card parameters to the terminal; the terminal receives and parses the user identification card parameters from the feedback message, and activates the satellite communication service according to the user identification card parameters. Through this service activation method, the satellite communication service can be activated on the terminal device without replacing the existing SIM card, which is conducive to reducing costs and improving user experience.

[0093] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a service activation method, which can be applied to a target satellite. The target satellite can be any satellite in a satellite communication system, and the target satellite is a satellite that can be searched by a terminal device.

[0094] Figure 4 A flow chart showing a service activation method according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 4 , the service activation method includes the following steps.

[0095] S410: Receive a service activation request from a terminal device.

[0096] In this step, a communication connection can be established with the terminal device through a variety of communication methods to receive a service activation request from the terminal device. The communication connection can be a connection established through any communication method such as short message, MMS, voice, Bluetooth, WIFI, etc., and the embodiment of the present application does not make specific limitations.

[0097] S420, generating user identification card parameters for the terminal device.

[0098] In this step, the user identification card parameters, i.e., SIM card parameters, include but are not limited to at least one of the following parameter items: user identification of the terminal device, multicast identification, multicast subkey, communication length limit parameter, communication frequency control parameter, and international mobile equipment identity code of the terminal device.

[0099] S430, sending a feedback message for the service activation request, the feedback message carries a user identification card parameter, and the user identification card parameter is used in the terminal device to activate the corresponding satellite communication service.

[0100] According to the service activation method, when the target satellite receives a service activation request from a terminal device, it can generate user identification card parameters for the terminal device according to the service activation request, and send a feedback message corresponding to the service activation request to the terminal device, and the feedback message carries the user identification card parameters related to satellite communication, so that the terminal device can activate the corresponding satellite communication service according to the user identification card parameters. Through the service activation method, the target satellite can respond to the service activation request of the terminal device, generate and send user identification parameters for activating satellite communication services to the terminal device, and during the entire activation process, the terminal device does not need to replace a special satellite phone card, which is conducive to reducing the cost of activating satellite communication services and improving user experience.

[0101] In some embodiments, the service activation request includes N terminal identity identifiers, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 1, and user identification card parameters are generated for the terminal device; step S420 may specifically include: using N terminal identity identifiers to perform terminal identity authentication, and when at least one terminal identity identifier is successfully authenticated, generating user identification card parameters for the terminal device.

[0102] In this embodiment, the target satellite can verify one or more terminal identity identifiers in the service activation request to ensure the authenticity of the terminal device. When the authenticity of at least one terminal identity identifier is successfully authenticated, it can be determined that the identity authentication of the terminal device is successful, which is beneficial to ensure that the terminal device can use the satellite communication function normally after activating the satellite communication service, thereby improving the security of the terminal device using the satellite communication function.

[0103] In some embodiments, the service activation request includes user identity information, and the step of generating user identification card parameters for the terminal device may specifically include: determining, based on the user identity information, the service type corresponding to the user identity information requested to be activated by the terminal device; generating user identification card parameters, and the user identification card parameters are used to activate the satellite communication service corresponding to the service type requested to be activated.

[0104] Exemplarily, the target satellite can determine, based on the user identity information, that the corresponding service type requested to be activated by the terminal device can be any one of industry services and user services; or, it can be the service type indicated by the corresponding card type, such as any one of Beidou communication network-related services and Tiantong communication network-related services, or, it can be at least one of global networking services, regional networking services and domestic networking services.

[0105] The specific contents of different service types can refer to the description of the above embodiment, which will not be repeated here. In the embodiment of the present application, the service type can include multiple classification methods. In practical applications, the service type of the satellite communication service corresponding to the user identity information can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present application does not make specific limitations.

[0106] In some embodiments, the service activation request includes service activation information, and the step of generating user identification card parameters for the terminal device may specifically include: generating user identification card parameters according to the service type indicated by the service activation information, and the user identification card parameters are used to activate the satellite communication service corresponding to the service type.

[0107] In this embodiment, the service activation information is used to indicate the service type requested for activation. After receiving the service activation request, the target satellite can directly obtain the service type requested for activation by the terminal device from the service activation request, and generate user identification card parameters corresponding to the service type for the terminal device.
