detailed description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described in the following with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. It is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts are within the scope of the present invention.

The core of the invention is to provide an operator selection method based on e-SIM card.

The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart of an e-SIM card-based operator selection method provided by the present invention. based on The operator selection method of the e-SIM card includes:

S10: Perform current network signal detection on the communication data of each operator in the current environment of the obtained user to obtain a current network signal detection result.

Among them, the operators are all in the operator list in the user's mobile terminal, and the operator list includes at least two types of operators.

S11: Obtain a current running parameter of the mobile terminal.

S12: Select a corresponding operator in the operator list according to the current operating parameter and the current network signal detection result.

In a specific implementation, the network signals provided by the different operators to the user are different in the same environment. In order to provide a better network signal to the user, the first step of the present invention is to obtain the current environment of the user. The communication data of each operation performs network signal detection, thereby obtaining the current network signal detection result. It should be noted that the network signal described in the present invention is not a signal of a narrow user's Internet access, and the network signal is any communication signal that each operator can provide for the user's mobile terminal, including the user browsing the webpage. The data traffic signal also includes the communication signal used by the user to make a normal call. The network signal detection result includes the detection result of the network signal strength and the detection result of the data flow rate. It can be understood that the current network signal detection result does not include only the above two types.

In order to provide better services, it is necessary to combine the current operating parameters of the mobile terminal. The current operating parameters include any one or more of a power parameter of the mobile terminal, a current use service of the mobile terminal, and an operator consumption package of the mobile terminal. It can be understood that the current operating parameters are not only included in the above-mentioned several types, but also other types. Several specific application scenarios are given below to illustrate.

In an application scenario, the user may just want to browse the webpage through the mobile terminal, and the data traffic required is from the operator, so the operator with the fastest data traffic needs to be selected as the current operation in the current signal network signal detection result. Business, so as not to cause poor user use.

In another application scenario, the user does not need to use data traffic, but calls (voice calls) through the mobile terminal. The best option is to use the operator with the strongest network signal strength as the current operator.

The e-SIM card-based operator selection method provided by the embodiment obtains the current network signal detection result after obtaining the communication data of each operator in the current environment of the user, and then obtains the current network signal detection result, and then acquires the mobile terminal's The current running parameter determines, according to the current running parameter and the current network signal detection result, which operator the mobile terminal selects as the current operator. It can be seen that the method According to actual needs, we can select the right operator for the user and make better use of public resources.

The above two specific application scenarios are only examples. It can be seen from the above that the operator currently selected by the user needs to be determined according to the current operating parameters and the current network signal detection results. The implementation rules may be fixed according to the actual situation, and may be fixed by the user, or may be an operator negotiation rule, and the invention is not limited. Several specific embodiments are given below.

As a preferred implementation, if the current usage service of the mobile terminal is a voice call, step S12 is specifically:

When the power parameter of the mobile terminal is lower than the preset value, the operator with the strongest network signal strength in the operator list is selected according to the current network signal detection result.

When the power of the mobile terminal is low and a voice call is required, if the network signal strength of the operator is weak, the power consumption of the mobile terminal is very large, so if the current service is a voice call and the mobile terminal has a low power When the preset value is used, the operator with the strongest network signal should be selected as the preferred operator in the current network signal detection result. As for the preset value, it can be set according to a specific situation, and the present invention does not require it.

As a preferred implementation, when the current usage service of the mobile terminal is data traffic service, step S12 is specifically:

When the power parameter of the mobile terminal is lower than the preset value, the operator with the fastest data traffic in the operator list is selected according to the current network signal detection result.

When the mobile terminal's power is low and data traffic needs to be used, if the operator's data traffic speed is slow, the mobile terminal's power consumption will be very large, so if the current usage service is data traffic service and the mobile terminal When the power is lower than the preset value, the operator with the strongest network signal should be selected as the preferred operator in the current network signal detection result. As for the preset value, it can be set according to a specific situation, and the present invention does not require it.

The above two specific implementation manners consider the parameter of the power quantity of the mobile terminal, but in the specific implementation, it is possible to also compare the problem of the cost incurred in the communication process, therefore, the following is given Two specific implementations.

As a preferred implementation, when the current usage service of the mobile terminal is a voice call, step S12 is specifically:

According to the current network signal detection result, the user's call tariff corresponding to each operator is compared, and the operator with the lowest call tariff in the operator list is selected.

When the current use service of the mobile terminal is a voice call, the voice call will incur a certain fee, but the cost is different for different operators. For example, if the mobile operator's call cost is a yuan and the telecom operator's call charge is b yuan, then it is only necessary to compare the cost of the two, and select the operator with the lowest call tariff. In this way, the user can be saved.

As a preferred implementation manner, when the current usage service of the mobile terminal is data traffic service, step S12 is specifically:

According to the current network signal detection result, the data traffic rate corresponding to each operator is compared, and the operator with the lowest data traffic rate in the operator list is selected.

When the current service used by the mobile terminal is a data traffic service, a certain fee is incurred in the use process, but the cost is different for different operators. For example, if the cost of the mobile operator is a yuan and the cost of the telecom operator is b yuan, then it is only necessary to compare which of the two costs is lower, and the operator with the lowest tariff can be selected. In this way, the user can be saved.

As a preferred implementation, if the current usage service of the mobile terminal is a voice call and data traffic service, step S12 is specifically:

If the power parameter of the mobile terminal is lower than the preset value, the operator with the strongest network signal strength in the operator list is selected according to the current network signal detection result;

If the power parameter of the mobile terminal is higher than the preset value, the operator with the fastest data traffic in the operator list is selected according to the current network signal detection result.

In the present embodiment, the case where the user uses both the voice call service and the data traffic service is comprehensively considered. The first is to determine whether the power parameter of the mobile terminal is lower than a preset value. If it is lower than the preset value, the operator with the strongest network signal strength in the operator list can be selected; if the power parameter in the mobile If it is not lower than the preset value, you can select the operator with the fastest data traffic in the operator list. This is because, in a specific environment, the voice call used by the mobile terminal consumes a higher amount of power.

As a preferred implementation, if the currently used service of the mobile terminal is to use the WIFI service, step S12 is specifically:

Select the operator with the strongest network signal strength in the operator list according to the current network signal detection result;

In a specific implementation, the user's mobile terminal interacts with the wireless network, for example, using WIFI. In this case, the user does not need to use the data traffic service provided by the operator, and therefore, the parameter does not need to be considered. In this case, you only need to select the operator with the strongest network signal strength in the operator list.

As a preferred embodiment, the communication data of each operator is acquired by the base stations of the respective operators.

On the basis of the above embodiments, the communication data of each operator can be directly obtained from the base stations of each operator, or can be obtained indirectly. This embodiment is only a specific implementation manner.
