Cloud SIM Management Server Dynamic Allocation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The traditional SIM card management method is inflexible, leading to resource waste as a single SIM card can only be allocated to one user and cannot be reactivated, necessitating new SIM cards for network access changes.
Innovation Solution
A cloud SIM card management system that associates cloud SIM cards with device identification information and network access information, allowing dynamic allocation and management, enabling flexible network access and reducing resource waste by replacing original SIM cards with cloud SIM cards.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If network access information of one SIM card is fixed and bound to one user, then system management of the SIM card is facilitated, but the SIM card cannot be allocated flexibly and resources are wasted when users need to switch networks
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a mapping relationship between cloud SIM cards and user accounts, allowing a single cloud SIM card to serve multiple users and networks. The cloud SIM card management system enables one physical SIM card to be virtually allocated to different users based on account binding, making the SIM card universally applicable across multiple contexts rather than dedicated to a single user.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a virtual copy of SIM card functionality through cloud-based SIM cards. Instead of requiring physical SIM cards for each user-network combination, the system creates virtual SIM card instances in the cloud that can be dynamically allocated. This virtual copying allows multiple users to share access to network resources without needing separate physical SIM cards.
2Ease of operation
If a user re-activates a new SIM card to acquire services from the telecom carrier's network, then network access is restored, but the previously activated SIM card cannot be activated again causing resource waste
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple SIM card functionalities into a single cloud-based SIM card system. Instead of treating each SIM card as an independent, disposable resource, the system combines multiple SIM card identities and network access rights into one cloud-managed entity that can be dynamically reassigned to different users as needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables recovery and reuse of SIM card resources through cloud-based management. When a user completes their service period or switches networks, the cloud system automatically recovers the SIM card resource and makes it available for reassignment to another user, eliminating the need to discard or permanently deactivate the SIM card.
3Productivity
If cloud SIM cards are dynamically allocated and associated with device identification information, then resource utilization is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a cloud SIM card management system as an intermediary layer between physical SIM cards and users. This intermediary handles the complexity of dynamic allocation, binding, and management operations, shielding end users from the underlying complexity while enabling efficient resource utilization through automated cloud-based control.

AI summary
The present application is applicable to the field of mobile communications and provides a cloud SIM card management server, a binding device, a management method, a binding method and a binding system, the server includes: a request acquisition unit configured to acquire a cloud SIM card allocation request carrying device identification information; a cloud SIM card acquisition unit configured to acquire a cloud SIM card and network access information from a system database and store the device identification information, the cloud SIM card and the network access information in association; and a cloud SIM card transmission unit configured to transmit the cloud SIM card and the network access information to a user terminal. By allocating a cloud SIM card and the network access information to an intelligent terminal of a user, so that the network access information of the original SIM card is replaced to acquire service from a carrier's network, and resource is conserved, the user is facilitated in flexibly replacing a cloud SIM card to access a network, and a system management of cloud SIM card is facilitated.
