Electronic device and method for switching electronic device between dual standby mode and single standby mode

An electronic device comprising:

• an embedded subscriber identity module (eSIM) embedded in the electronic device, the eSIM being configured to store a first profile associated with a first communication service;
• a physical SIM (pSIM) configured such that a SIM card is capable of being removably attached thereto or capable of being inserted thereinto, the pSIM being configured to store a second profile associated with a second communication service;
• a communication processor configured to control the eSIM and the pSIM;
• and a processor configured to:
• receive a signal indicating switching from a dual standby mode, in which the first communication service and the second communication service are both available, to a single standby mode, in which the first communication service is unavailable and the second communication service is available;
• disable a local profile assistant in device (LPAd) configured to control the eSIM in response to receiving the signal;
• delete a task associated with the eSIM in response to completion of disabling the LPAd;
• request deactivating of a protocol stack corresponding to the eSIM in response to deleting the task;
• and
• reset the communication processor in response to deactivating the protocol stack.
