Abstract
The invention discloses a fast booting method for a mobile communication device. This method is accomplished by dividing a memory module of a mobile communication device into two areas, a virtual identity module storage and a mobile communication data storage. The virtual identity storage can store the set of data of a subscriber identity module as a virtual identity module. By reading the data of a virtual identity module the purpose of fast booting the mobile communication device can be achieved.
Claims15
A fast-booting mobile communication device comprising:
- an identity module providing an identity number for the mobile communication device;
- a memory module comprising:
- a virtual identity module storage storing a set of data stored in the identity module, and
- a mobile communication data storage accessing the set of data from the virtual identity module storage.
A fast booting method for a mobile communication device comprising:
- providing a memory module within the mobile communication device, wherein the memory module comprises a virtual identity module storage and a mobile communication data storage;
- providing an identity module within the mobile communication device;
- determining whether, or not, a set of data in the identity module is stored in the virtual identity module storage to represent a virtual identity module;
- if the set of data in the identity module is not stored in the virtual identity module storage, copying the set of data in the identity module into the virtual identity module storage to represent the virtual identity module and then reading and writing the set of data of the virtual identity module to the mobile communication data storage for carrying out a following booting process;
- and
- if the set of data in the identity module is stored in the virtual identity module storage, reading and writing the set of data of the virtual identity module from the virtual identity module storage to the mobile communication data storage for carrying out the following booting process.
