Abstract
A method and a terminal device for keeping a subscriber identity module card in a standby state, including receiving an enabling request to enable dual standby of a first subscriber identity module (SIM) card and a second SIM card in the terminal device, wherein the first SIM card is software-implemented, and wherein the second SIM card is hardware-implemented, accessing a first network for the first SIM card by invoking a third-party interface of an operating system of the terminal and using a data file associated with the first SIM card, and implementing a dual standby of the first SIM card and the second SIM card.
Claims21
A method for keeping a first subscriber identity module (SIM) card and a second SIM card in a standby state, comprising:
- accessing, by a terminal device, a second network for the second SIM card using a second interface, wherein the second SIM card is implemented based on hardware;
- receiving, by the terminal device, an enabling request, wherein the enabling request is configured for standby of the first SIM card in the terminal device, and wherein the first SIM card is implemented based on software;
- invoking, by the terminal device, a third-party interface for performing a first network access process of the first SIM card based on a first data file associated with the first SIM card, wherein the third-party interface is different from the second interface;
- and
- keeping the first SIM card and the second SIM card in simultaneous dual standby.
A terminal device, comprising:
- a memory configured to store program codes;
- and
- a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the program codes to cause the terminal device to:
- access a second network for a second subscriber identity module (SIM) card using a second interface, wherein the second SIM card is implemented based on hardware;
- receive an enabling request, wherein the enabling request is configured for standby of a first SIM card in the terminal device, and wherein the first SIM card is implemented based on software;
- invoke a third-party interface for performing a first network access process of the first SIM card based on a first data file associated with the first SIM card, wherein the third-party interface is different from the second interface;
- and
- keep the first SIM card and the second SIM card in simultaneous dual standby.
A non-transitory computer medium configured to store instructions executable by a processor of an apparatus to cause the apparatus to:
- access a second network for a second subscriber identity module (SIM) card using a second interface, wherein the second SIM card is implemented based on hardware;
- receive an enabling request, wherein the enabling request is configured for standby of a first SIM card in the apparatus, and wherein the first SIM card is implemented based on software;
- invoke a third-party interface for performing a first network access process of the first SIM card based on a first data file associated with the first SIM card, wherein the third-party interface is different from the second interface;
- and
- keep the first SIM card and the second SIM card in simultaneous dual standby.
