Terminal configuration method and apparatus

A terminal, comprising at least one processor and a memory, wherein the at least one processor comprises an application processor and a wireless transceiver;

• the memory is configured to store one or more program instructions and data;
• and the at least one processor is configured to:
• determine whether a subscriber identity module (SIM) card in the terminal is powered on;
• upon determining that the SIM card in the terminal is powered on, read, by the wireless transceiver, first information from the SIM card;
• send, by the wireless transceiver, the first information to the application processor;
• and
• obtain, by the application processor based on the first information, an operator parameter, wherein the terminal uses the operator parameter to access a network of the operator by using the SIM card;
• and
• the first information comprises some or all of an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI), a service provider name (SPN), or a global identifier (GID),
• wherein the reading of the first information from the SIM card is triggered by the determination of the SIM card being powered on and is performed at a moment at which the SIM card is determined to be powered on.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium, comprising program instructions, that when executed by at least one processor of a terminal, cause the terminal to perform operations comprising:

• determining whether a subscriber identity module (SIM) card in the terminal is powered on;
• upon determining that the SIM card in the terminal is powered on, reading, by a wireless communications module, first information from the SIM card;
• sending, by the wireless communications module, the first information to an application processor;
• and
• obtaining, by the application processor based on the first information, an operator parameter, wherein the terminal uses the operator parameter to access a network of the operator by using the SIM card;
• and
• the first information comprises some or all of an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI), a service provider name (SPN), or a global identifier (GID),
• wherein the reading of the first information from the SIM card is triggered by the determination of the SIM card being powered on and is performed at a moment at which the SIM card is determined to be powered on.
