[Figure 5] FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of a dual-card communication device according to an embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0024] Hereinafter, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. It is understood by those skilled in the art that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and are not all of the embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make any appropriate modifications and variations based on the embodiments of the present application, and can obtain any other embodiments.

[0025] In a conventional dual SIM dual standby electronic device, both cards are in standby mode, and data and voice communications are performed on one card during operation. When the communication index of the first network in the current area is lower than the switching index of the main card, the first operator switches the data channel to the other card and uses the other card to communicate on the second network, thereby realizing network switching between the two SIM cards in the electronic device. This configuration relies only on the network environment of one card, for example, the network environment of the physical card, and cannot combine networks according to the actual network environment in the field.

[0026] In view of this, an embodiment of the present application provides a dual-card communication method, in which the actual SIM card is first enabled to register with the network, and then the actual SIM card connects to a cloud card server to obtain a cloud card of a different operator from that of the actual SIM card, and the cloud card is registered through the data channel of the actual SIM card, so that the terminal device has the data connection capabilities of two different operators at the same time, and selects one of the data channels to provide services based on factors such as network quality and price.

[0027] In the embodiment of the present application, when registering a cloud card, data services are provided using the cloud card with the best network quality within the same time period, and the cloud card with the best quality is combined with the physical SIM card to form a 1+1 dual-channel network capability, so that the two operator networks consisting of the physical SIM card and the cloud card back up each other, thereby improving the stability and performance of data services.

[0028] The above technical solutions will be described in detail below based on specific examples.

[0029] FIG. 1 is a flow chart illustrating a communication method using a dual card according to an embodiment.

[0030] In step 101, the electronic device enables the physical SIM card to successfully register with the network and establishes a data channel for the physical SIM card.

[0031] An electronic terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a physical SIM card. The physical SIM card cannot communicate unless it is registered with a network. The physical SIM card includes, but is not limited to, an embedded SIM (eSIM) card and an embedded card. An eSIM card is an embedded SIM card. A conventional SIM card is directly embedded in a chip of an electronic device, rather than being added to the electronic device as a separate, removable component. An embedded card may be pre-installed in the electronic device. The electronic device may be an Internet of Things device. An embedded card is a physical card that cannot be removed and, once authenticated, can join a network and communicate, and the data can be used to assist the cloud card in authenticating the cloud card.

[0032] Step 102: The electronic device connects to the cloud card server through the data channel of the physical SIM card to obtain the cloud card distributed by the cloud card server.

[0033] Specifically, the cloud card server has a card pool, which contains card information of multiple cloud cards, each of which belongs to a different network operator. In an embodiment of the present invention, a cloud card is obtained from the cloud card server based on the physical SIM card data channel. In a preferred embodiment, the cloud card and the physical SIM card belong to different operators.

[0034] In an embodiment of the present invention, the operator is determined by the electronic device. When the cloud card server has multiple cloud cards belonging to different operators, the electronic device acquires the cloud card from the cloud card server based on the data channel established by the physical SIM card, and determines whether the operator of the cloud card is the same as the operator of the physical SIM card. If it is determined that they are different, the operation of acquiring the cloud card is completed; if it is determined that they are the same, the electronic device continues to acquire the cloud card from the cloud card server based on the data channel established by the physical SIM card until the operator of the acquired cloud card and the operator of the physical SIM card belong to different operators.

[0035] Preferably, in the same step, the electronic device can obtain multiple cloud cards distributed by the cloud card server, and each cloud card and the physical SIM card belong to a different operator.

[0036] In step 103, the cloud card sends a registration authentication request to the card pool and obtains authentication response data from the card pool for the cloud card.

[0037] In practical application, the cloud card sends a registration authentication request to the card pool based on the data channel of the actual SIM card, receives the authentication response data returned from the card pool, and completes the registration. The data channel of the cloud card can obtain the backup cloud card from the cloud card server, but cannot complete the registration authentication; the registration authentication must be performed by the data channel of the actual SIM card.

[0038] Preferably, multiple cloud cards are obtained in step 102, and when each cloud card and the actual SIM card belong to different carriers, registration authentication is performed for each of the multiple cloud cards, and the one cloud card with the best communication quality is obtained.

[0039] Step 104 performs dual-card communication based on the physical SIM card and the cloud card.

[0040] This step detects the first communication quality data of the actual SIM card and the second communication quality data of the cloud card, and if the first communication quality data is greater than the second communication quality data, selects the actual SIM card to perform data communication, and if the first communication quality data is not greater than the second communication quality data, selects the cloud card to perform data communication.

[0041] In an embodiment of the present invention, an electronic device communicates using a combination of a physical SIM card and a cloud card. The physical SIM card serves not only as a data card but also as an authentication card for the cloud card. Physical SIM cards include, but are not limited to, eSIM cards and insertable cards. The coverage area of ​​the physical SIM card affects the stability and range of the dual-card network, allowing the electronic device to dynamically share the networks of two different operators.

[0042] By evaluating the network quality of the physical SIM card and the cloud card, it is possible to always select the best two carrier networks as the main and backup. When the physical SIM card or the cloud card is connected to data, the main network is selected based on the network representation at different times. If the network quality of one carrier deteriorates, communication can be immediately switched to the other carrier, ensuring optimal network quality and stability.

[0043] In an embodiment of the present invention, when located at the border of international roaming or continuously crossing multiple countries, the best two operator networks can be always selected to provide services, and the physical SIM card can stably connect and activate a local cloud card with relatively low fees, thereby reducing international roaming costs and improving network stability and communication quality.

[0044] Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 2, a process of detecting a dual card network and switching the network to perform communication provided by an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

[0045] In step 201, it is detected whether the amount of communication consumed in a certain period of time is greater than a predetermined value. If it is greater, it is determined that the network is normal; if not, it is determined that the network is abnormal, and step 202 is executed.

[0046] In actual application, it detects whether the amount of communication consumed within the time T1 is greater than F, and if it is possible to transmit with the T1 parameter (default 60 seconds but adjustable), the communication amount threshold F (default 100kbit but adjustable), and the communication amount within 60 seconds is greater than 100kbit, it is determined that the network to be used is normal; otherwise, it is determined that the network needs to be inspected.

[0047] Step 202 detects the main network, and if the data of the main network is normal, step 203 is executed; if the data of the main network is abnormal, step 204 is executed.

[0048] In this step, the main network is pinged to check the network speed, and parameters such as packet loss and delay are checked based on the general address. The network upload and download are checked to determine whether the network is normal.

[0049] If the delay measured by continuously measuring the main network with only N pings is less than a predetermined value, the main network is determined to be normal, and data is continuously detected on the main data link while continuing to communicate using the main network operator.

[0050] Step 203 continuously uses the main data link to continuously probe the network on the main link.

[0051] In practical applications, the main network may be a physical SIM card or a cloud card. The main network is a physical SIM card. Physical SIM cards include, but are not limited to, eSIM cards and insertable cards. When the backup network is a cloud card, if the physical SIM card data link is normal, the physical SIM card network is continuously used for data communication while continuously detecting the physical SIM card network data link.

[0052] When the main network is a cloud card and the backup network is a physical SIM card, if the cloud card data link is normal, the cloud card network is continuously used for data communication while the cloud card network data link is continuously detected.

[0053] Step 204 detects the backup network, and if the backup network is normal, execute step 205; if the backup network is abnormal, compare the network quality of the main network and the backup network, select the better one as the main data, and execute step 206.

[0054] When the delay measured by pinging the main network is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, the main network is determined to be abnormal, and when the delay measured by pinging only N consecutive times to the backup network is smaller than a predetermined value, the backup network is determined to be normal, and the data link is switched to the backup network.

[0055] When measuring the backup network by ping, if the delay is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, it is determined that the backup network is abnormal.

[0056] Step 205 switches the data link to the backup network and continuously probes the network for the backup link.

[0057] In actual application, when the main network is the actual SIM card and the backup network is the cloud card, if the data link of the network of the actual SIM card is abnormal, the data link of the network of the cloud card is detected, and if the data link of the network of the cloud card is normal, the network of the cloud card is switched to the main network to perform data communication.

[0058] In actual application, when the main network is a cloud card and the backup network is an actual SIM card, if the data link of the cloud card network is abnormal, the data link of the actual SIM card network is detected, and if the data link of the actual SIM card network is normal, the network of the actual SIM card is switched to the main network to perform data communication.

[0059] In an embodiment of the present invention, after the authentication of a cloud card is completed, a data link is established, and the network of the cloud card is pinged to a speed measurement platform to measure uploads and downloads, thereby obtaining network quality information. For multiple cloud cards, the speed is measured after each cloud card is authenticated, and the network quality of the cloud card is determined.

[0060] Step 206 obtains a backup cloud card from the cloud card server according to the data channel of the cloud card, and sends the registration authentication of the backup cloud card to the card pool through the data channel of the actual SIM card. If the authentication is successful, step 207 is executed.

[0061] In practical application, when the main network is a physical SIM card and the backup network is a cloud card, if the data links of the physical SIM card network and the cloud card network are both abnormal, the network of the acquired backup cloud card is detected, and if the network data of the backup cloud card is normal, the backup cloud card switches the cloud card to the main network for data communication; if the network data of the backup cloud card is abnormal, the network quality of the physical SIM card network, the cloud card network, and the backup cloud card network is compared, and the network with the best network quality is selected as the main network for data communication.

[0062] In actual application, when the main network is a cloud card and the backup network is an actual SIM card, if the data links between the cloud card network and the actual SIM card network are both abnormal, the network of the acquired backup cloud card is detected, and if the network data of the backup cloud card is normal, the backup cloud card switches the cloud card to the main network to perform data communication; if the network data of the backup cloud card is abnormal, the network quality of the actual SIM card network, the cloud card network, and the backup cloud card is compared, and the network with the best network quality is selected as the main network to perform data communication.

[0063] Step 207 detects the network of the backup cloud card. If the network data of the backup cloud card is normal, the backup cloud card switches to the cloud card for communication. If the network data of the backup cloud card is abnormal, the network with the best network quality is selected as the main data from the network of the actual SIM card, the network of the cloud card, and the network of the backup cloud card.

[0064] In an embodiment of the present invention, dual-card communication is performed based on a physical SIM card and a cloud card. When the main network is abnormal, communication is switched to a backup network. The main network may be a physical SIM card or a cloud card. The physical SIM card includes, but is not limited to, an eSIM card and an insertable card. When both the physical SIM card and the cloud card are abnormal, a backup cloud card is used. When the backup cloud card data is normal, communication is switched to the cloud card using the backup cloud card. That is, communication is performed using the backup cloud card network. When the backup network data is abnormal, the network with the best network quality is selected as the main data from the physical SIM card network, the cloud card network, and the backup cloud card network.

[0066] In a preferred embodiment, the physical SIM card of the electronic device includes, but is not limited to, an eSIM card and an insertable card.

[0067] In a preferred embodiment, only one or more cloud cards are actually acquired and distributed by the cloud card server. When multiple cloud cards are acquired, the acquisition module 302 further acquires multiple authentication response data obtained when the multiple cloud cards send registration authentication requests to the card pool, and selects the cloud card with the best network quality based on the network quality data of the authenticated cloud cards. The data channel of the cloud card can acquire the backup cloud card from the cloud card server, but cannot complete the registration authentication, and the registration authentication must be performed by the data channel of the actual SIM card.

[0068] Correspondingly, the communication module 303 further performs dual-card communication based on the physical SIM card and the cloud card with the best network quality.

[0070] In a preferred embodiment, the communication quality detection means 3031 is further for detecting the data link of the main network, Correspondingly, the selection communication means 3032 further comprises, when the data link of the main network is normal, continuously detecting the data link of the main network while continuously using the main network to perform data communication; When the data link of the main network is abnormal, the data link of the backup network is detected, and when the data link of the data backup network is normal, the backup network is switched to the main network to perform data communication; When both the data links of the main network and the backup network are abnormal, the network quality of the main network and the backup network are compared, and the better network is selected as the main data for data communication.

[0072] In an embodiment of the present invention, the data channel of the physical SIM card is activated and a cloud card distributed by the cloud card server is obtained, thereby realizing communication between the physical SIM card and the cloud card as a dual card backup for each other.
