[0049] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0050] Similar reference numerals and letters in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures. Furthermore, in the description of this application, terms such as "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0051] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the architecture of the joint paging system provided in an embodiment of this application. As shown in Figure 1, the joint paging system may include a first terminal 20 and a second terminal 30. The first terminal 20 may be a smartwatch, smart bracelet, smart glasses, etc., and the second terminal 30 may be a mobile phone, tablet computer, host computer, etc. The second terminal 30 has dual SIM dual standby functionality.

[0052] The first terminal 20 is used to execute the steps performed by the first terminal in the paging message processing method, as detailed in the relevant description below.

[0053] The second terminal 30 is used to execute the steps performed by the second terminal in the paging message processing method, as detailed in the relevant description below.

[0054] As shown in Figure 2, this embodiment provides an electronic device 1, including at least one processor 11 and a memory 12. Figure 2 uses a single processor 11 as an example. The processor 11 and the memory 12 are connected via a bus 10. The memory 12 stores instructions executable by the processor 11. These instructions are executed by the processor 11 to enable the electronic device 1 to perform all or part of the processes described in the following embodiments. In one embodiment, the electronic device 1 may be the first terminal 20 described above, used to execute the steps performed by the first terminal in the paging message processing method. In another embodiment, the electronic device 1 may be the second terminal 30 described above, used to execute the steps performed by the second terminal in the paging message processing method.

[0055] The memory 12 can be implemented by any type of volatile or non-volatile storage device or a combination thereof, such as static random access memory (SRAM), electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM), programmable red-only memory (PROM), read-only memory (ROM), magnetic storage, flash memory, magnetic disk or optical disk.

[0056] This application also provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program that can be executed by a processor 11 to perform the steps performed by the first terminal or the second terminal in the paging message processing method provided in this application.

[0057] This application also provides a computer program product, including a computer program / instructions, which, when executed by a processor, implement the steps performed by the first terminal or the second terminal in the paging message processing method provided in this application.

[0058] Referring to Figure 3, which is a schematic diagram of the paging process in a related scheme provided by an embodiment of this application, as shown in Figure 3, in mobile communication systems (such as 4G, 5G, or 6G), terminal devices need to periodically send and receive signals to maintain the paging process. During the paging occcasion within the discontinuous reception cycle (DRX Cycle), the terminal needs to decode the CCH (Common Control Channel) and confirm the existence of a paging message through the P-RNTI (Physical Radio Network Temporary Identifier). If it exists, the terminal needs to decode the SCH (Synchronization Channel) and confirm the existence of a paging message sent to itself through the device identifier (ue-Identity). If so, the terminal can trigger a random access procedure and an RRC signaling transmission and reception process with the base station (the RRC signaling transmission and reception process in Figure 3 is the RRC connection procedure).

[0059] During this process, the terminal consumes energy at each stage of its operation, which constitutes the main component of the terminal's standby power consumption.

[0060] To reduce standby power consumption of the terminal, this solution uses a terminal with a larger battery capacity to proxy the paging process of a terminal with a smaller battery capacity, as described in the relevant description below.

[0061] Referring to Figure 4, which is a flowchart of a paging message processing method provided in an embodiment of this application, as shown in Figure 4, the method may include the following steps 410-430.

[0062] Step 410: The first terminal pairs with the second terminal through a short-range communication interface to determine that the second terminal is the paging agent of the first terminal.

[0063] The first terminal is a smart wearable device; the second terminal is a user terminal (such as a mobile phone) with dual SIM dual standby functionality. Here, dual SIM dual standby can be achieved through either Dual SIM Dual Standby or Dual SIM Dual Active. It should be noted that having dual SIM dual standby functionality on the second terminal does not mean that a secondary SIM card must be inserted; it only requires the ability to insert a secondary SIM card. Subsequent steps performed by the second terminal via the secondary SIM card are executed by the corresponding hardware and software modules on the second terminal. In other words, even without a secondary SIM card inserted, the relevant steps can still be performed using the secondary SIM card.

[0064] The implementation methods of short-range communication interfaces can include, but are not limited to, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Zigbee, and sidelink. When a terminal communicates through a short-range communication interface, its standby power consumption is less than its standby power consumption when it directly executes the paging process.

[0065] In one embodiment, either the first terminal or the second terminal can initiate pairing with the other through a short-range communication interface. During the pairing process, the second terminal can be determined as the paging agent of the first terminal by comparing preset identity identifiers (e.g., a preset agent identifier on the first terminal and a preset agent identifier on the second terminal).

[0066] In another embodiment, the first terminal with a smaller battery capacity can actively pair with the second terminal with a larger battery capacity through a short-range communication interface, thereby using the second terminal as its paging agent.

[0067] Step 420: The first terminal sends its paging configuration information to the second terminal through a short-range communication interface.

[0068] After pairing is complete, the first terminal can send its paging configuration information to the second terminal via a short-range communication interface.

[0069] Here, paging configuration information may include, but is not limited to, paging time period, device identifier, and network information; wherein, the paging time period is used to determine the system frame number and subframe number for listening to and receiving paging messages; the device identifier is used to decode paging messages; and the network information may include carrier frequency, bandwidth, cell ID, Master Information Block (MIB), System Information Block (SIB), and other network information used for listening to and decoding paging messages.

[0070] Step 430: The second terminal listens for paging messages sent to the first terminal through the secondary card based on the paging configuration information.

[0071] After obtaining the paging configuration information, the second terminal can use its secondary SIM card to listen for paging messages sent to the first terminal. Here, the secondary SIM card of the second terminal can listen for paging messages sent to the first terminal outside of its own service hours.

[0072] Through the above measures, the second terminal can act as a proxy for the first terminal to listen for and receive paging messages, allowing the first terminal to operate without consuming power while listening for paging messages, effectively reducing its standby power consumption. Furthermore, since the second terminal has dual SIM dual standby functionality, by using the secondary SIM card to proxy the paging process for the first terminal, the normal operation of the second terminal's services and its Quality of Service (QoS) can be guaranteed.

[0073] In one embodiment, when the second terminal detects a paging message sent to the first terminal through the secondary card, it can transmit the paging message to the first terminal through a short-range communication interface.

[0074] After receiving the paging message, the first terminal can respond to the paging message by initiating a random access procedure to establish an RRC (Radio Resource Control) connection with the base station.

[0075] Referring to Figure 5, which is an overall flowchart of a paging message processing method provided in an embodiment of this application, as shown in Figure 5, the first terminal and the second terminal can be paired through a short-range communication interface (in Figure 5, a sidelink connection is selected as the pairing method). The second terminal can indicate to the first terminal that it has the ability to process additional paging messages in order to act as a proxy for the paging process of the first terminal.

[0076] The first terminal can send paging configuration information to the second terminal, enabling the second terminal's secondary SIM card to decode the CCH during paging periods of non-continuous reception cycles and confirm the existence of a paging message via P-RNTI. If a paging message exists, the secondary SIM card can decode the SCH and confirm the existence of a paging message destined for the first terminal via the first terminal's device identifier. If a paging message exists, the second terminal can transmit it to the first terminal.

[0077] After the first terminal receives the paging message, it can trigger a random access procedure and an RRC signaling transmission and reception process with the base station (the RRC signaling transmission and reception process in Figure 5 is the RRC connection process). Here, the RRC signaling transmission and reception process may include, but is not limited to, the RRC connection process, the initial security activation process, the RRC connection reconfiguration process, the RRC connection re-establishment process, the RRC connection release process, the RRC connection release requested by upper layers, and the radio resource configuration process.

[0078] With this measure, the paging process of the first terminal is handled by the second terminal, and the first terminal does not need to be frequently woken up in each discontinuous reception cycle to listen for paging messages, which greatly reduces standby power consumption.

[0079] In one embodiment, when the second terminal detects a paging message sent to the first terminal via its secondary SIM card, it can respond to the paging message by initiating a random access procedure to complete the RRC signaling transmission and reception process with the base station. After the secondary SIM card of the second terminal completes the RRC signaling transmission and reception process with the base station on behalf of the first terminal, the second terminal can transmit the RRC message received from the base station that was destined for the first terminal to the first terminal.

[0080] Referring to Figure 6, which is an overall flowchart of a paging message processing method provided in another embodiment of this application, as shown in Figure 6, the first terminal and the second terminal can be paired through a short-range communication interface (in Figure 6, a sidelink connection is selected as the pairing method). The second terminal can indicate to the first terminal that it has the ability to process additional paging messages in order to act as a proxy for the paging process of the first terminal.

[0081] The first terminal can send paging configuration information to the second terminal, enabling the second terminal's secondary SIM card to decode the CCH during paging periods of non-continuous reception cycles and confirm the existence of a paging message via P-RNTI. If a paging message exists, the secondary SIM card can decode the SCH and confirm whether a paging message intended for the first terminal exists via the first terminal's device identifier.

[0082] If applicable, the second terminal can act as an agent for the first terminal in the random access process and the RRC signaling transmission and reception process with the base station (the RRC signaling transmission and reception process in Figure 6 is the RRC connection process). Here, the RRC signaling transmission and reception process may include, but is not limited to, the RRC connection process, the initial security activation process, the RRC connection reconfiguration process, the RRC connection reconstruction process, the RRC connection release process, the upper layer request for RRC connection release, and the radio resource configuration.

[0083] After the RRC signaling transmission and reception process is completed, the second terminal can transmit the RRC message sent to the first terminal via the Internet to the first terminal.

[0084] With this measure, the paging process of the first terminal is handled by the second terminal. The first terminal does not need to be frequently woken up in each discontinuous reception cycle to listen for paging messages. Furthermore, the first terminal does not need to activate the transmitting / receiving unit to perform random access procedures and RRC signaling transmission and reception processes, which can further reduce standby power consumption.

[0085] In one embodiment, before executing step 430, the second terminal can synchronize the timer configuration parameters to the first terminal via a short-range communication interface. These configuration parameters include a start time, a period duration, and a proxy duty cycle. Here, the start time is the time at which the timer is started; the period duration is the duration of the timer's counting cycle; and the proxy duty cycle is the percentage of time within one cycle during which the second terminal acts as a proxy for the paging process of the first terminal. For example, if the proxy duty cycle is 70%, then the second terminal acts as a proxy for the paging process of the first terminal for 70% of the time within one cycle.

[0086] Referring to Figure 7, which is a schematic diagram of an absolute timeline provided in an embodiment of this application, as shown in Figure 7, the first terminal and the second terminal use the same configuration parameters to determine the start time, cycle length, and working period of the proxy process for their own timers. For the first terminal, one cycle includes a period of "autonomous processing of paging messages" and a period of "deep sleep mode"; for the second terminal, one cycle includes a period of "processing its own business" and a period of "proxying the paging process of the first terminal". The duration of the "deep sleep mode" and the "proxying the paging process of the first terminal" are the same, and are calculated by the proxy duty cycle and the cycle length.

[0087] In this case, when executing step 430, the first terminal can enter deep sleep mode during the proxy period based on the timer under the configuration parameters; the second terminal, based on the timer under the configuration parameters, listens for paging messages sent to the first terminal through the secondary card during the proxy period based on the paging configuration information.

[0088] Taking the absolute timeline shown in Figure 7 as an example, during the non-agent period (the period of "autonomous processing of paging messages"), the first terminal can independently listen to and receive paging messages sent to the first terminal, while the secondary card of the second terminal can handle its own business during the non-agent period (the period of "processing its own business"). During the agent period (the period of "deep sleep mode"), the first terminal can enter a deep sleep state to reduce standby power consumption, while during the agent period (the period of "proxying the paging process of the first terminal"), the second terminal can proxy the paging process of the first terminal and listen to and receive paging messages sent to the first terminal through the secondary card.

[0089] Through the above measures, the first terminal and the second terminal can synchronize their working periods through a timer, so that during the proxy period, the secondary card of the second terminal can act as a proxy for the paging process of the first terminal.

[0090] In one embodiment, before executing step 430, the second terminal may load a preset priority configuration file. The priority configuration file indicates the priority relationship between various service modes and proxy modes of the second terminal.

[0091] When executing step 430, the second terminal can find the priority relationship between the current business mode and the proxy mode in the priority configuration file.

[0092] In one scenario, if the priority configuration file indicates that the priority of the current service mode is lower than that of the proxy mode, the second terminal can determine that it needs to proxy the paging process for the first terminal. Based on the paging configuration information, it can listen for paging messages sent to the first terminal through the secondary card.

[0093] For example, if the priority configuration file indicates that the priority of the regular service mode of the secondary SIM card on the second terminal is lower than the priority of the proxy mode, then when the secondary SIM card performs regular services on the second terminal, it can proxy the paging process for the first terminal by listening for paging messages sent to the first terminal. In this case, the secondary SIM card can perform its own regular services intermittently. Alternatively, it can perform its own regular services during non-proxy periods using the aforementioned timer synchronization strategy.

[0094] In another scenario, if the priority configuration file indicates that the current business mode has a higher priority than the proxy mode, the second terminal can determine that it needs to perform its own business, exit the proxy mode, and transmit a notification message to the first terminal via a short-range communication interface.

[0095] For example, if the priority configuration file indicates that the priority of the service mode in which the user actively initiates the secondary card service on the second terminal is higher than the priority of the proxy mode, then when the user initiates the secondary card service on the second terminal (for example, making a call through the secondary card), the second terminal can exit the proxy mode and transmit the exit from the proxy mode notification information to the first terminal through the short-range communication interface, so that the first terminal can autonomously execute the paging process after receiving the notification information.

[0096] For example, if the priority configuration file indicates that the service mode of low power mode on the second terminal has a higher priority than the proxy mode, then after the second terminal enters low power mode, it can exit the proxy mode and transmit a notification message of exiting the proxy mode to the first terminal through a short-range communication interface, so that the first terminal can autonomously execute the paging process after receiving the notification message.

[0097] In one embodiment, in proxy mode, the first terminal is triggered by a first target event to exit proxy mode and transmits a notification message of exiting proxy mode to the second terminal via a short-range communication interface. After receiving the notification message, the second terminal can exit proxy mode, so that the secondary SIM card no longer acts as a proxy for the paging process of the first terminal.

[0098] The first target event is the event that triggers the first terminal to actively exit the agent mode. The content of the first target event can be configured according to the application's needs.

[0099] For example, the first target event is the activation of the application layer of the first terminal, such as when a user initiates a voice call through the first terminal. In this case, when the user initiates a voice call through the first terminal, the first terminal can exit deep sleep mode, that is, exit agent mode, handle the paging process autonomously, and send a notification message of exiting agent mode to the second terminal through a short-range communication interface.

[0100] Furthermore, in proxy mode, the second terminal, triggered by the second target event, exits proxy mode and transmits a notification message to the first terminal via a short-range communication interface. Upon receiving this notification, the first terminal can exit proxy mode and autonomously execute the paging process.

[0101] The second target event is the event that triggers the second terminal to actively exit the agent mode. The content of the second target event can be configured according to the application's needs.

[0102] For example, the second target event is the activation of the secondary SIM card service of the second terminal by the application layer, such as when a user initiates a voice call through the second terminal. Alternatively, the second target event is an instruction issued by the application layer of the second terminal to exit the proxy mode. In this case, the second terminal can respond to the second target event, exit the proxy mode, and send a notification message about exiting the proxy mode to the first terminal through a short-range communication interface.

[0103] Through the above measures, the first or second terminal can exit the agent mode by triggering an event, thereby enabling timely business switching when needed.
