[0021] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described 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, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0022] In the related art, the structural features of the factory configuration of the terminal device include: no page display function (need to use a computer or mobile phone and other devices to display the management page of the terminal device), built-in sim card slot, network port module, wifi module, but no bluetooth module. In order to realize the download of the esim formal configuration file of the terminal device, the related art needs to preset an initial configuration file when the esim card is produced and shipped, and then embed the esim card into the terminal device. The user is connected to the terminal device through a computer network cable or a local area network, and then uses a computer browser to access the management page of the terminal device, and sets the terminal device to use the esim card in the management page. The terminal device uses the network access server provided by the esim card initial configuration file to download the esim formal configuration file, and transmits it to the esim card. However, the esim card pre-set with the initial configuration file is usually more expensive than the blank esim card, and the initial configuration file will occupy the storage space of the esim card. After completing the download of the formal configuration file, the esim card will no longer need the initial configuration file. The related art has the defects of high cost and waste of resources.

[0023] In order to download the ESIM official configuration file of the terminal device, the relevant technology can also use the mobile phone to download the designated app provided by the operator and connect to the terminal device via Bluetooth. The user sets the terminal device to use the ESIM card in the management page through the mobile phone app. The mobile phone can use the network provided by WiFi or the SIM card in the mobile phone to connect to the server. After downloading the ESIM official configuration file, it is transmitted to the terminal device via Bluetooth. The terminal device then transmits the downloaded ESIM official configuration file to the ESIM card. This download method requires adding an additional Bluetooth module to the terminal device and relies on external networking devices, such as mobile phones, which is costly.

[0024] Among them, the SIM card is used to store the user's identification information and encryption keys in order to communicate with the mobile network. The ESIM card is a chip embedded in the terminal device. Users can activate and manage accounts of multiple operators wirelessly without physically replacing the SIM card. The ESIM card supports remote configuration and switching of operators, providing greater flexibility and convenience. The ESIM official configuration file is a digital file containing user identity information and network configuration data. The file is stored in the ESIM card, and the user activates and manages the user's mobile network connection. The initial configuration file of the ESIM card is a file preset when the ESIM card is produced. It contains less traffic and is specifically used to provide a network connected to the operator's server to download the ESIM official configuration file.

[0025] According to an embodiment of the present application, a method embodiment of a terminal device downloading an ESIM official configuration file is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0026] Figure 1 A flow chart of a method for downloading an ESIM formal configuration file from a terminal device provided in an embodiment of the present application, wherein the terminal device is provided with a SIM card slot and a built-in ESIM card, such as Figure 1 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0027] Step S1, in response to a SIM card slot activation instruction, the terminal device uses the SIM card in the SIM card slot to access the mobile network, and then connects to the operator server.

[0028] When receiving the user's SIM card slot activation instruction, the terminal device automatically sets the card slot to the SIM card, and the terminal device and the SIM card interact with each other. The SIM card stores user authentication information, which is used to verify the user's identity in the mobile network. Once the authentication information is accepted by the mobile network operator, the terminal device can connect to the mobile network through the SIM card.

[0029] Step S3, in response to the ESIM official configuration file download instruction, the terminal device reads the ESIM information and sends it to the operator server to request downloading of the corresponding ESIM official configuration file.

[0030] When requesting to download the ESIM official configuration file, the terminal device needs to provide relevant information of the ESIM card, including the ESIM card identification code, such as ICCID, and other possible identity authentication information. The operator server sends the corresponding ESIM official configuration file to the terminal device based on the ESIM information. The ESIM official configuration file contains all the parameters required for network access. The terminal device and the operator server are connected through the mobile network provided by the above SIM card.

[0031] Step S5, obtaining the ESIM official configuration file sent by the operator server, and the terminal device writes the ESIM official configuration file into the ESIM card.

[0032] After the terminal device obtains the esim official configuration file through communication with the operator's server, it automatically writes the configuration file into the built-in esim card. The esim official configuration file contains all the information required for the terminal device to connect to the mobile network, such as the access point name, network authentication information, etc.

[0033] The embodiment of the present application provides a method for a terminal device to download an ESIM official configuration file. The terminal device is provided with a SIM card slot and a built-in ESIM card. The method comprises: in response to a SIM card slot activation instruction, the terminal device uses the SIM card in the SIM card slot to access a mobile network, and then connects to an operator server; in response to an ESIM official configuration file download instruction, the terminal device reads ESIM information and sends it to the operator server to request downloading of the corresponding ESIM official configuration file; the terminal device obtains the ESIM official configuration file sent by the operator server, and writes the ESIM official configuration file into the ESIM card, thereby solving the technical problem of high device configuration requirements for downloading the ESIM official configuration file in the related art. Only the structure of the existing terminal device and the external page display device are used, without presetting an initial configuration file in the built-in ESIM, without adding an additional Bluetooth module in the terminal device, and without relying on an external networking device, the ESIM official configuration file is downloaded, thereby achieving the technical effect of reducing the terminal device configuration requirements, the ESIM pre-configuration requirements, and reducing the use cost.

[0034] In some embodiments, the method for the terminal device to download the ESIM official configuration file further includes: providing a SIM card slot activation instruction and an ESIM official configuration file download instruction in a management page of the terminal device.

[0035] Specifically, the user inserts the SIM card into the SIM card slot of the terminal device. The user can set the SIM card slot activation instruction and the esim formal configuration file download instruction in the management page of the terminal device, and the terminal device performs corresponding operations according to the user's instructions.

[0036] In some embodiments, the method for the terminal device to download the esim official configuration file further includes: connecting the terminal device to an external display device, and using the external display device to access the management page of the terminal device.

[0037] Specifically, the external display device can be a computer. The computer is connected to the terminal device via a network cable or wifi, and the management page of the terminal device can be logged in using the computer browser. The management page is built into the terminal device and has nothing to do with whether the external display device is connected to the mobile network.

[0038] In some embodiments, the esim card does not include a preset initial configuration file, and / or the terminal device does not have a Bluetooth connection function.

[0039] In the related art, in order to enable the terminal device to download the ESIM formal configuration file, it is required that the terminal device be pre-installed with an ESIM card containing the initial configuration file, or that the terminal device be added with an additional Bluetooth module. The method for downloading the ESIM formal configuration file provided by the embodiment of the present application only utilizes the structure of the existing terminal device and the external page display device, without pre-installing the initial configuration file in the built-in ESIM, without adding an additional Bluetooth module in the terminal device, and without relying on an external networking device, so as to realize the download of the ESIM formal configuration file, thereby achieving the technical effect of reducing the terminal device configuration requirements, the ESIM pre-configuration requirements, and reducing the use cost.

[0040] Specifically, the blank eSIM card provided in the embodiment of the present application is more advantageous in price than the eSIM card with a preset initial configuration file in the related art.

[0041] In some embodiments, the method for the terminal device to download the ESIM official configuration file also includes: in response to a SIM card slot switching instruction, the terminal device switches from the SIM card to the ESIM card, and uses the ESIM official configuration file written in the ESIM card to access the mobile network.

[0042] In some embodiments, the method for the terminal device to download the ESIM official configuration file further includes: the same SIM card is used in different terminal devices successively to download the corresponding ESIM official configuration files.

[0043] When the terminal device has downloaded the ESIM official configuration file, the user sets the SIM card slot switching command in the terminal device's management page, and the terminal device switches from the SIM card to the ESIM card. In this case, the terminal device can use the ESIM card to connect to the mobile network. At this time, the SIM card can be pulled out and used for other terminal devices to supply the network. A batch of terminal devices can reuse the same SIM card, which is more convenient and less expensive to use.

[0044] In some embodiments, the user inserts the sim card into the sim card slot in the terminal device, and the computer is connected to the terminal device by wired or wireless means, and the user can remotely access and manage the terminal device in this way. The user accesses the management page of the terminal device through a browser. The data interaction between the terminal device and the sim card and the esim card is realized through the sim card / esim card interface module on the terminal device. The terminal device uses the "AT+CSIM+APDU" format to interact with the interface module, and the interface module interacts with the sim card or esim card in the card slot via APDU data. The card slot in the terminal device can only be set to use one card, that is, a sim card or an esim card, and the interface module will interact with the selected card in the card slot via APDU data by default.

[0045] In some embodiments, when the terminal device interacts with the SIM card, the "AT+CSIM+APDU" format is used through the interface module. When the terminal device interacts with the ESIM card, the "AT+GTCSIM+APDU" format is used through the interface module. After receiving the data from the terminal device, the interface module sends the APDU data to the SIM card or the ESIM card according to whether the data is in the "AT+CSIM+APDU" format or the "AT+GTCSIM+APDU" format.

[0046] In some embodiments, Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a method for downloading an esim formal configuration file from a terminal device provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the specific steps include:

[0047] Step 1: On the management page of the terminal device, the user clicks the SIM card slot activation command and sets the SIM card to be used.

[0048] Step 2: The terminal device receives the SIM card slot activation instruction and automatically sets the card slot to the SIM card. The terminal device interacts with the SIM card, and the SIM card provides Internet authentication information so that the terminal device can connect to the mobile network.

[0049] Step 3: On the management page of the terminal device, click the esim official configuration file download command.

[0050] Step 4: The terminal device receives the ESIM official configuration file download instruction, obtains ESIM information, and sends the ESIM official configuration file (profile information) to the operator server. Figure 2 The profile server in sends a profile download request, wherein the profile request contains esim information.

[0051] Step 5: The profile server sends the corresponding ESIM formal configuration file (profile information) to the terminal device, and the terminal device returns the ESIM formal configuration file to the ESIM card.

[0052] When the esim formal configuration file is written into the esim card, if no changes are made, the terminal device can continue to use the sim card to access the Internet. If the sim card in the terminal device is pulled out, the esim card in the terminal device can also be used to access the Internet. The pulled out sim card is used for other terminal devices to supply the Internet.

[0053] In some embodiments, the method for a terminal device to download an esim official configuration file specifically includes the following steps:

[0054] Step 1: On the terminal device management page, the user clicks on Set SIM card slot activation instructions.

[0055] Step 2: After receiving the user's instruction, the terminal device sends "AT+ESIMMAP=1" to the interface module to set the card slot of the interface module to use the sim card. The terminal device sends "AT+CCID" to the interface module, the interface module obtains the ICCID of the sim card, and the terminal device sends "AT+CFUN=4" to the interface module to set the registration network.

[0056] Step 3: The terminal device sends "AT+CSIM=10,"0070000001"" to the interface module. After receiving it, the interface module determines that it is the "AT+CSIM" format and sends "0070000001" to the SIM card. The SIM card opens the data channel. The terminal device then sends instructions to the interface module in sequence, which is processed by the interface module and then sent to the SIM card.

[0057] Step 4: The terminal device sends "AT+CSIM=10,"0070000001"" to the interface module. After receiving it, the interface module determines that it is in the "AT+CSIM" format and sends "0070000001" to the eSIM card. After receiving it, the eSIM card opens the data channel.

[0058] Step 5: The terminal device then sends commands such as AT+GTCGLA=1,42,"01A4040010A0000005591010FFFFFFFF8900000100", AT+CGLA=1,16,"81E2910003BF2800", AT+CGLA=1,16,"81E2910003BF2000" to the interface module in sequence. After processing, the interface module sends them to the esim card, and the esim card provides its own information. The terminal device sends a request to download the esim official configuration file to the operator server through the mobile network provided by the sim card.

[0059] Step 6: The interface module processes the official configuration file information replied by the operator server into AT commands and sends it to the esim card. The esim card decrypts and parses it into the esim official configuration file information and installs it.

[0060] Accordingly, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a system for a terminal device to download an ESIM official configuration file provided in an embodiment of the present application, the system comprising: an access module, for responding to a SIM card slot activation instruction, the terminal device uses a SIM card in the SIM card slot to access a mobile network, and then connects to an operator server; a download module, for responding to an ESIM official configuration file download instruction, the terminal device reads ESIM information and sends it to the operator server to request downloading of the corresponding ESIM official configuration file; an acquisition module, for acquiring the ESIM official configuration file sent by the operator server, and the terminal device writes the ESIM official configuration file into the ESIM card
