Virtual Resource Sharing Control for Dual SIM Mobile Terminals
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile terminals with dual SIM cards lack a solution for unified management of system resources, leading to potential risks in resource allocation and usage consistency across multiple operating systems.
Innovation Solution
A mobile terminal with a virtual resource sharing control system that allows each operating system to monitor and manage SIM card and channel resource usage in real-time, ensuring consistency and coordinated management across multiple operating systems through a virtual resource sharing control system, modem, and UI processing units.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple operating systems run on one mobile phone to meet mobile office requirements, then the functionality and versatility of the mobile terminal are improved, but the complexity of resource management and the risk of resource allocation conflicts increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a virtual resource sharing control system as an intermediary layer between multiple operating systems and the physical SIM card resources. This virtual system abstracts and manages radio resources, channel resources, and SIM card operations, allowing multiple OSes to access shared resources without direct conflicts. The virtual resource sharing control system coordinates resource allocation, monitors usage status, and prevents allocation conflicts among concurrent operating systems.
2Adaptability or versatility
If dual SIM cards are deployed in a modem for multiple operating systems, then the versatility of the mobile terminal is improved, but the consistency of resource usage status across operating systems deteriorates due to lack of unified management
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the virtual resource sharing control system continuously monitors the usage status of SIM cards and channel resources across multiple operating systems. The system collects status information from each OS, processes it centrally, and distributes updated status information back to all relevant operating systems. This feedback loop ensures that all operating systems maintain consistent views of resource usage status, enabling coordinated management and preventing conflicts.
3Ease of operation
If each operating system independently manages SIM card resources without coordination, then the ease of operation for each OS is improved, but the reliability of resource allocation deteriorates due to potential conflicts
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the resource management function into two independent but coordinated parts: each operating system retains independent control over its own resource management operations (maintaining ease of operation), while the virtual resource sharing control system provides segmented monitoring and coordination of shared physical resources (ensuring reliability). This segmentation allows each OS to operate independently with full functionality while the virtual layer ensures reliable resource allocation by preventing conflicts and coordinating access to shared SIM card and channel resources.

AI summary
The present invention provides a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal includes: a virtual resource sharing control system, a modem, and multiple operating systems, where multiple SIM cards are deployed in the modem; a first operating system is used to: receive a card operation request of a user of the mobile terminal for a first SIM card in the multiple SIM cards, and notify a second operating system and the virtual resource sharing control system of the card operation request; the virtual resource sharing control system is used to: perform a card operation on the first SIM card by using the modem and according to the card operation request and a current state of the first SIM card, and send a feedback result of the card operation to the first operating system and the second operating system; the first operating system is further used to manage and monitor a current state of the first SIM card in the first operating system according to the feedback result; and the second operating system is used to manage and monitor a current state of the first SIM card in the second operating system according to the card operation request or the feedback result.
