[0008] Hereinafter, in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the scope protected by the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0009] The flowchart shown in the drawings is merely illustrative and does not have to include all the content and operations / steps, nor does it have to be executed in the order described. For example, a certain operation / step may be further decomposed, combined, or a part of it may be merged. Therefore, the actual execution order may be changed according to the actual situation.

[0010] It should be understood that the terms used in the specification of the embodiments of the present disclosure are only for explaining specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present disclosure. As used in the specification and claims of the embodiments of the present disclosure, unless otherwise clearly indicated in the context, the singular forms "one", "a", and "the" are intended to include the plural forms.

[0011] Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for downloading a profile, a terminal, and a storage medium. Here, the method for downloading the profile can be applied to a mobile terminal, and the mobile terminal may be a device such as a mobile phone, a tablet, a notebook computer, a desktop computer, and a wearable device. For example, when the mobile terminal is a mobile phone, after the mobile phone is powered on, if the eSIM card is not activated and the SIM card is inserted, a download command for the profile of the eSIM card is sent to the server using the communication network of the SIM card, and the SIM card is used to provide the communication network. The server obtains the target profile returned based on the profile download command, writes the target profile to the eSIM, and activates the eSIM card.

[0012] Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings, some embodiments of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail. As long as there is no contradiction, the following embodiments and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0013] Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a method for downloading a profile according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0014] As shown in FIG. 1, the method for downloading the profile may include steps S101 to S102.

[0015] In step S101, after the mobile terminal is powered on, if the eSIM card is not activated and the SIM card is inserted, a download command for the profile of the eSIM card is sent to the server using the communication network of the SIM card, and the SIM card is used to provide the communication network.

[0016] Here, the mobile terminal may include an eSIM card and a card slot, and the card slot is used for inserting a SIM card for providing a communication network. The card slot may be installed according to the actual situation, and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not specifically limit this. For example, the card slot may be provided in the bottom area of the mobile terminal. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the mobile terminal A includes an eSIM card B and a card slot C. The eSIM card B is embedded in the upper left circuit board of the mobile terminal A, and the card slot C is located on the right side of the mobile terminal. The slot C is used for inserting a SIM card.

[0017] Note that the profile of the eSIM card in the embodiments of the present disclosure is Profile, that is, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the profile downloaded for the eSIM card is the target Profile.

[0018] In one embodiment, after the mobile terminal is powered on, the application information and file information of the eSIM card are obtained. The application information includes information such as International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) or Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM). The file information includes information such as Internet information and a profile list. Based on the file information, it is determined whether the eSIM card is activated. By obtaining the file information of the eSIM card, it is possible to accurately know whether the eSIM card is activated.

[0019] In one embodiment, the method for determining whether the eSIM card is activated based on the file information may be to obtain the profile list of the eSIM card from the file information and determine whether the eSIM card is activated based on the profile list. Here, the profile list is a list of the profile sets included in the eSIM card, and the type of the profile included in the profile list may be set according to the actual situation, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not specifically limited thereto. For example, the type of the profile may include profiles such as a test profile and an access network profile. Based on the profile list, it is possible to accurately determine whether the eSIM card is activated.

[0020] In one embodiment, the method for determining whether the eSIM card is activated based on the profile list may be to determine whether there is a profile of a preset type in the profile list. If there is a profile of a preset type in the profile list, it is determined that the eSIM card is activated, or if there is no profile of a preset type in the profile list, it is determined that the eSIM card is not activated. Here, the preset type may be set according to the actual situation, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not specifically limited thereto. For example, the preset type may be an operational type. By determining whether there is a profile of a preset type in the profile list, it is possible to accurately know whether the eSIM card is activated.

[0021] In one embodiment, when it is determined that the eSIM card is not activated, it is determined whether a SIM card is inserted. When it is determined that the SIM card is not inserted, preset prompt information is sent to prompt the user that the SIM card is not inserted in the mobile terminal. When the user receives that the SIM card is not inserted, the user inserts the SIM card into the mobile terminal. Here, the preset prompt information may be set according to the actual situation, and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not specifically limit this. For example, for the preset prompt information, the mobile terminal may announce the voice that the SIM card is not inserted, or display the character information that the SIM card is not inserted on the display screen of the mobile terminal. When it is detected that the SIM card is not inserted, the user can be promptly prompted to insert the SIM card, and the efficiency of downloading the profile can be improved.

[0022] Note that the method for determining whether a SIM card is inserted may be set according to the actual situation, and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not specifically limit this. For example, it is determined whether SIM card information can be obtained. If the SIM card information can be obtained, it is determined that the SIM card is inserted, or when it is detected that the detection identifier of the SIM card in the mobile terminal is at the first identifier, it is determined that the SIM card is inserted into the card slot.

[0023] In one embodiment, after the mobile terminal is powered on, if the eSIM card is not activated and the SIM card is inserted, it is determined whether the SIM card has registered for a communication network service. If the SIM card has not registered for a communication network service, a request to register the SIM card for a communication network service is sent, and based on the request for the SIM card to register for a communication network service, it is requested that the server matching the SIM card register for a communication network service. If it is determined that the SIM card has not registered for a communication network service, the SIM card is controlled to register for a communication network service with the server, improving the efficiency and accuracy of the mobile terminal to download a profile.

[0024] In one embodiment, the mobile terminal includes a Local Provisioning Assistant (LPA). When it is determined that the SIM card has registered for a communication network, the LPA is controlled to establish a communication connection with the server using the communication network of the SIM card and send a download command for the profile of the eSIM card to the server through the communication connection. By controlling the LPA to send a download command for the profile of the eSIM card to the server using the communication network of the SIM card, the efficiency and accuracy of downloading the profile can be improved.

[0025] In one embodiment, the LPA establishes a communication connection with the server using the communication network of the SIM card in a preset connection manner. After the mobile terminal establishes a communication connection with the server, it controls to send a download command for the profile of the eSIM card to the server through the communication connection. Here, the preset connection manner may be selected according to the actual situation, and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not specifically limit this. For example, the preset connection manner may be a manner of establishing a communication connection with the server by scanning the two-dimensional code of the server, or a manner of establishing a communication connection with the server by accessing the network address corresponding to the server.

[0026] Exemplarily, when it is determined that the SIM card has registered the communication network, the two-dimensional code of the server is obtained, the mobile terminal identifies the two-dimensional code information, and the LPA is controlled to establish a communication connection with the server by using the two-dimensional code information through the communication network of the SIM card. After the mobile terminal establishes a communication connection with the server, the LPA sends a download command for the profile of the eSIM card to the server through the communication connection. The communication connection with the server can be accurately established by the two-dimensional code of the server, significantly improving the efficiency and accuracy of downloading the profile.

[0027] Exemplarily, when it is determined that the SIM card has registered the communication network, the network address of the server is obtained, and the LPA is controlled to establish a communication connection with the server by using the network address through the communication network of the SIM card. After the mobile terminal establishes a communication connection with the server, the LPA sends a download command for the profile of the eSIM card to the server through the communication connection. The communication connection with the server can be accurately established by the network address of the server, significantly improving the efficiency and accuracy of downloading the profile.

[0028] In one embodiment, when an application program other than the LPA receives to use the communication network of the SIM card, each application program other than the LPA is prohibited from using the communication network of the SIM card. By prohibiting an application program other than the LPA from using the communication network of the SIM card, the role of the SIM card is simply for the eSIM card to download a profile, improving the efficiency and accuracy of the eSIM card in downloading the profile.

[0029] Exemplarily, the mobile terminal includes the LPA, application program 1, application program 2, application program 3, and application program 4. When the LPA and application program 2 request to use the communication network of the SIM card, the request by application program 2 is prohibited, and the LPA is allowed to send a download command for the profile of the eSIM card to the server using the communication network of the SIM card.

[0030] In one embodiment, after the mobile terminal is powered on, it determines whether the eSIM card is activated. If the eSIM card is not activated, it determines whether the mobile terminal is connected to a WiFi spot. If the mobile terminal is not connected to a WiFi spot, it determines whether a SIM card is inserted. If a SIM card is inserted, it sends a download command for the profile of the eSIM card to the server using the communication network of the SIM card. When the eSIM card is not activated and the mobile terminal is not connected to a WiFi spot, sending the download command for the profile of the eSIM card to the server using the communication network of the SIM card significantly improves the convenience and efficiency of downloading the profile.

[0031] In step S102, the server obtains the target profile returned based on the download command of the profile, writes the target profile to the eSIM card, and activates the eSIM card.

[0032] Here, the target profile is a profile for which the eSIM card of the mobile terminal performs service registration, and the target profile includes data such as a file system, access network key parameters, a support security domain, and an application.

[0033] In one embodiment, the communication network of the SIM card sends a download command for the profile of the eSIM card to the server. The server receives the download command for the profile, obtains the target profile based on the download command for the profile, and the server returns the target profile to the mobile terminal through the communication network of the SIM card. The mobile terminal writes the target profile to the eSIM card and activates the eSIM card. Receiving the target profile returned by the server, writing the target profile to the eSIM card, and significantly improving the convenience and efficiency of the eSIM to download and activate the target profile.

[0034] In one embodiment, the method of obtaining a target profile based on the download command of the profile may be to obtain a mapping relationship table between the preset download command of the profile and the profile, query the profile corresponding to the download command of the profile from the mapping relationship table, and use the profile as the target profile. Here, the mapping relationship table is established in advance based on the download command and profile of the profile, and the mapping relationship table may be established according to the actual situation, and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not specifically limit this. The target profile corresponding to the download command of the profile can be accurately queried from the mapping relationship table, and the efficiency of downloading the profile is significantly improved.

[0035] In one embodiment, after writing the target profile into the eSIM card and activating the eSIM card, obtain the activation information of the eSIM card, and based on the activation information, determine whether the eSIM card is activated. If it is determined that the eSIM card is activated and the SIM card is inserted, use of the SIM card is prohibited. If it is determined that the eSIM card is activated, use of the SIM card is prohibited, and the SIM card is only for the eSIM card to download the profile, improving the efficiency and accuracy of the eSIM card to download the profile.

[0036] In one embodiment, based on the activation information, the method for determining whether the eSIM card is activated is to determine whether the activation information contains first identifier information. If the activation information contains the first identifier information, it is determined that the eSIM card is activated. If the activation information contains second identifier information, it is determined that the eSIM card is not activated. When the eSIM card is not activated, the LPA controls to establish a communication connection with the server using the communication network of the SIM card and send a download command for the profile of the eSIM card to the server through the communication connection. By checking whether the eSIM card is activated, the efficiency and accuracy of activating the eSIM card can be improved.

[0037] Exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 3, it includes S201 where the mobile terminal is powered on, S202 for determining whether the eSIM card is activated, S203 for determining whether the SIM card is inserted when the eSIM card is not activated, S204 for ending the download of the profile when the eSIM card is activated, S205 for the SIM card to register for the communication network service when it is determined that the SIM card is inserted, S206 for the LPA to establish a communication connection with the server using the communication network of the SIM card and send a download command for the profile of the eSIM card to the server through the communication connection when the SIM card has registered for the communication network service, S207 for the server to obtain the target profile returned based on the download command of the profile, write the target profile to the eSIM card, and activate the eSIM card, S208 for determining whether the eSIM card is activated, S209 for prohibiting the use of the SIM card when the eSIM card is activated, and S204 for ending the download of the profile.

[0038] According to the method of downloading the profile in the above embodiment, after the mobile terminal is powered on, when the eSIM card is not activated and the SIM card is inserted, a download command for the profile of the eSIM card is sent to the server using the communication network of the SIM card, the target profile returned by the server based on the profile download command is obtained, the target profile is written into the eSIM card, and the eSIM card is activated. In this solution, when the eSIM card is not activated, a download command for the profile of the eSIM card is sent to the server using the communication network of the SIM card, which can solve the problem that the mobile terminal does not have a communication network. Also, the target profile returned by the server based on the profile download command is received, the target profile is written into the eSIM card, the eSIM card is activated, significantly improving the convenience and accuracy of downloading the target profile of the eSIM card, and also improving the efficiency of activating the eSIM card.
