The electronic device in the embodiment of the invention can be an electronic device with an operating system. The operating system may be an Android operating system, an ios operating system, or other possible operating systems, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited specifically.

The software environment to which the SIM card control method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is applied is described below by taking an android operating system as an example.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an architecture of a possible android operating system according to an embodiment of the present invention. In fig. 1, the architecture of the android operating system includes 4 layers, respectively: an application program layer, an application program framework layer, a system runtime layer and a kernel layer (specifically, a Linux kernel layer).

The application program layer comprises various application programs (including system application programs and third party application programs) in the android operating system.

The application framework layer is a framework of applications, and developers can develop some applications based on the application framework layer while adhering to the development principle of the framework of the applications.

The system runtime layer includes libraries (also referred to as system libraries) and android operating system runtime environments. The library mainly provides various resources required by the android operating system. The android operating system running environment is used for providing a software environment for the android operating system.

The kernel layer is an operating system layer of the android operating system, and belongs to the bottommost layer of the software hierarchy of the android operating system. The kernel layer provides core system services and a driver related to hardware for the android operating system based on a Linux kernel.

Taking an android operating system as an example, in the embodiment of the present invention, a developer may develop a software program for implementing the SIM card control method provided in the embodiment of the present invention based on the system architecture of the android operating system shown in fig. 1, so that the SIM card control method may be operated based on the android operating system shown in fig. 1. Namely, the processor or the electronic equipment can realize the SIM card control method provided by the embodiment of the invention by running the software program in the android operating system.

The electronic device in the embodiment of the invention can be a terminal device. The terminal device may be a mobile terminal device or a non-mobile terminal device. By way of example, the mobile terminal device may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a palm computer, a vehicle-mounted terminal, a wearable device, an ultra-mobile personal computer (ultra-mobile personal computer, UMPC), a netbook or a personal digital assistant (personal digital assistant, PDA), and the like, and the non-mobile terminal device may be a personal computer (personal computer, PC), a Television (TV), a teller machine, a self-service machine, and the like, and the embodiments of the present invention are not limited in particular.

The execution main body of the SIM card control method provided by the embodiment of the present invention may be a SIM card control device, where the SIM card control device may be the above electronic device (including a mobile terminal device and a non-mobile terminal device), or may be a functional module and/or a functional entity capable of implementing the SIM card control method in the electronic device, and may specifically be determined according to actual use requirements. An electronic device is taken as an example to describe an exemplary SIM card control method provided by the embodiments of the present invention.

Generally, as shown in fig. 2, in the case where the electronic device includes two SIM cards, the electronic device may provide a data service to a target application using one of the SIM cards (hereinafter referred to as a first SIM card), for example, when a user plays an online game, video chat, or the like using the target application, the data service may be provided to the target application through the first SIM card. For another SIM card (hereinafter referred to as a second SIM card), in order to ensure that the second SIM card is in a pageable state, the electronic device needs to periodically perform a signaling procedure and cell reselection after the second SIM card is successfully registered. However, the electronic device generally only has one set of radio frequency resources, and if the second SIM card performs the procedures of signaling procedure, cell reselection, etc. under the condition that the first SIM card starts data traffic and provides data service for the target application program, the second SIM card will preempt the radio frequency resources of the electronic device, and the ongoing data service of the first SIM card will be affected, thereby causing a delay to the network of the first SIM card.

In order to solve the above problem, in the process of running the target application program, the first SIM card is controlled to provide network services for the target application program; and under the condition that the target application program is a preset application program and the target parameter corresponding to the target application program is matched with the preset parameter, controlling the second SIM card to execute a first preset operation, wherein the first preset operation is an operation for reducing the radio frequency resource occupation of the second SIM card. According to the scheme, under the condition that the electronic equipment provides network service for the currently running target application program through the first SIM card, if the target application program is a preset application program and the target parameter corresponding to the target application program is matched with the preset parameter, the electronic equipment can confirm that the first SIM card is in a scene with higher radio frequency resource requirement, and can control the second SIM card to execute a first preset operation for reducing radio frequency resources occupied by the second SIM card, so that the electronic equipment can allocate more radio frequency resources to the first SIM card, the possibility of time delay generated by the first SIM card is reduced, and network experience when a user uses the target application program is further improved.

The following describes an exemplary SIM card control method and an electronic device according to the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in fig. 3, an embodiment of the present invention provides a SIM card control method, which may be applied to an electronic device including a first SIM card and a second SIM card. The method may include S301 to S304 described below.

S301, in the process of running the target application program, the electronic equipment controls the first SIM card to provide network services for the target application program.

The target application program is an application program which needs the electronic equipment to provide network service to realize the corresponding function.

Optionally, the network service refers to a mobile communication service based on data transmission and information interaction. For example, the web service may be a voice chat, a video chat, an online game, an online payment, any other possible web service, and so on.

Alternatively, the electronic device may control the first SIM card to reside in a wideband code division multiple access (wideband code division multiple access, WCDMA) network or a global system for mobile communications (global system for mobile communications, GSM) network, may control the first SIM card to reside in a long term evolution (long term evolution, LTE) network, and may control the first SIM card to reside in a new radio, NR) network. The network type can be determined according to the network type supported by the electronic equipment and the network type supported by the first SIM card, and the actual residence network of the first SIM card is determined.

S302, the electronic device determines whether the target application program is a preset application program.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the preset application may refer to an application that runs on a low-latency network to enable a user to obtain a better operation experience. For example, the preset application may be an online game-type application, a video-type application, or a communication-type application.

Specifically, the electronic device may include a preset application list including application identifications of at least one preset application. After the electronic device controls the target application program to run, the electronic device can acquire the application program identification of the target application program and determine whether the preset application program list comprises the application program identification of the target application program or not in a mode of traversing the preset application program list. If the preset application program list includes the application program identifier of the target application program, the electronic device may determine that the target application program is the preset application program; if the preset application list does not include the application identifier of the target application, the electronic device may determine that the target application is not the preset application.

Alternatively, the electronic device may add all or part of the application installed in the electronic device to the preset application list according to at least one of the application type and the application use frequency. Alternatively, the user may select a portion of the applications from among the applications installed by the electronic device and trigger the electronic device to add the application selected by the user to a preset application list.

S303, the electronic device determines whether the target parameters corresponding to the target application program are matched with preset parameters.

It should be noted that "the target parameter matches with the preset parameter" refers to whether the relationship between the target parameter and the preset parameter satisfies the preset rule. For example, when the preset rule is that the parameter corresponding to the application program is greater than the preset parameter, the matching of the target parameter and the preset parameter means that the target parameter is greater than the preset parameter; when the preset rule is that the parameter corresponding to the application program is smaller than the preset parameter, the matching of the target parameter and the preset parameter means that the target parameter is smaller than the preset parameter; when the preset rule is that the parameter corresponding to the application program is equal to the preset parameter, the target parameter is matched with the preset parameter, which means that the target parameter is identical to the preset parameter.

During the running of the target application, at least two phases, a preparation phase and an interaction phase, respectively, may be included. The preparation stage is a stage insensitive to time delay, namely, even if the time delay is generated by the network, the preparation stage does not cause great influence on user experience; the interaction phase is a phase sensitive to time delay, i.e. if the network generates time delay, the interaction phase has a great influence on the user experience. For example, where the target application is an online game-like application, the preparation phase may be a phase for the user to select a character, a character skill cooling phase, and a wait for character revitalization phase, and the interaction phase may be a character combat phase. By "whether the target parameters corresponding to the target application program are determined by the electronic device to match the preset parameters" it is understood that the electronic device determines whether the target application program is in an interaction phase that is relatively delay sensitive.

Optionally, the method for determining that the target parameter corresponding to the target application program matches the preset parameter by the electronic device may include at least one of the following:

(1) The frequency of the target application program for transmitting data by using the first SIM card is greater than or equal to a first preset frequency.

It should be noted that, the target parameter is the frequency of the target application program sending data by using the first SIM card, the preset parameter is the first preset frequency, and the preset rule is that the target parameter is greater than or equal to the preset parameter.

When the target application program runs to the interaction stage, the frequency of the target application program sending data by using the first SIM card is higher than the frequency of the target application program sending data by using the first SIM card when the target application program runs in the preparation stage because the interaction rhythm between users is accelerated. The electronic equipment can determine the current operation stage of the target application program according to the frequency of the target application program using the first SIM card to send data, namely, the electronic equipment can determine that the target application program is in the interaction stage under the condition that the frequency of the target application program using the first SIM card to send data is greater than or equal to a first preset frequency; and under the condition that the frequency of the target application program for sending data by using the first SIM card is smaller than the first preset frequency, determining that the target application program is not in the interaction stage, namely, the target application program is in the preparation stage.

Optionally, the data sent by the target application program using the first SIM card may be carried in the signaling, so that the frequency of sending the data by the target application program using the first SIM card may also be determined by the frequency of sending the signaling by the target application program using the first SIM card.

(2) The operating frequency of the user on the interface of the target application program is greater than or equal to a second preset frequency.

It should be noted that, the target parameter is an operation frequency of the user to the interface of the target application program, the preset parameter is a second preset frequency, and the preset rule is that the target parameter is greater than or equal to the preset parameter.

When the target application program runs to the interaction stage, the operating frequency of the user on the interface of the target application program is larger than that of the user on the interface of the target application program when the target application program runs in the preparation stage. The electronic equipment can determine the current operation stage of the target application program according to the operation frequency of the user on the interface of the target application program, namely, the electronic equipment can determine that the target application program is in the interaction stage under the condition that the operation frequency of the user on the interface of the target application program is greater than or equal to a second preset frequency; and under the condition that the operation frequency of the user on the interface of the target application program is smaller than the second preset frequency, determining that the target application program is not in the interaction stage, namely, the target application program is in the preparation stage.

It should be noted that the second preset frequency may be the same as or different from the first preset frequency.

(3) The operation area of the user interface for the target application program is located in the preset area.

The preset area refers to a partial area in the screen.

It should be noted that, the target parameter is a parameter for determining the user operation area, the preset parameter is a parameter for determining the preset area, and the preset rule is a parameter for determining the user operation area to be located in the parameter for determining the preset area.

When the target application is running to the interactive phase, the user's operating area of the interface to the target application is typically fixed. Therefore, the electronic device may determine the parameters corresponding to the preset area and the parameters corresponding to the user operation area, and determine that the target application is in the interaction stage when the parameters corresponding to the user operation area are located in the parameters corresponding to the preset area; and under the condition that the parameters corresponding to the user operation area are not located in the parameters corresponding to the preset area, determining that the target application program is not in the interaction stage, namely, the target application program is in the preparation stage.

(4) The process parameters of the target application program are preset process parameters.

It should be noted that, the target parameter is a process parameter of the target application program, the preset process parameter is a process parameter when the target application program is in the interaction phase, and the preset rule is that the process parameter of the target application program is the same as the preset process parameter.

The electronic equipment can determine the process parameters of the target application program by reading the memory data, and determine the current running stage of the target application program according to the process parameters of the target application program. Under the condition that the process parameters of the target application program are the same as the preset process parameters, the electronic equipment can determine that the target application program is in an interaction stage; in the case that the process parameters of the target application are different from the preset process parameters, the electronic device may determine that the target application is not in the interaction stage, that is, the target application is in the preparation stage.

S304, the electronic device controls the second SIM card to execute the first preset operation under the condition that the target application program is a preset application program and the target parameter corresponding to the target application program is matched with the preset parameter.

The first preset operation may be an operation for reducing radio frequency resources occupied by the second SIM card, that is, the electronic device may reduce radio frequency resources occupied by the second SIM card by executing the first preset operation.

Alternatively, the network where the second SIM card resides may be a WCDMA network, a GSM network, an LTE network or an NR network. The network type supported by the electronic equipment and the network type supported by the second SIM card can be determined, and the actual residence network of the second SIM card is determined.

Optionally, the network on which the second SIM card resides may be the same as or different from the network on which the first SIM card resides. The method and the device can be specifically determined according to the actual residence network of the SIM card, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

Optionally, the first preset operation may include at least one of:

(1) The frequency of the measured neighbor cell is reduced from the first frequency to the second frequency. The second frequency is less than the first frequency.

If the location of the electronic device changes, the electronic device may be handed over from the current serving cell to another neighboring cell in order to ensure that the electronic device may obtain continuous network service. Specifically, before the electronic device performs cell switching, the electronic device may measure the neighboring cell according to the signal quality of the serving cell and the priority information of the neighboring cell. For example, the electronic device may search for co-frequency neighboring cells, may search for inter-frequency neighboring cells, may search for other standard neighboring cells, and the like.

Because the second SIM card measures that the adjacent cell needs to occupy the radio frequency resource, the higher the frequency of the second SIM card measuring the adjacent cell, the more radio frequency resource the second SIM card occupies. In order to reduce the occupation of radio frequency resources of the first SIM card by the second SIM card, the electronic device may reduce the frequency of the measurement neighbor cell from the first frequency to the second frequency. I.e. the electronic device may reduce the number of measurements per unit time of measurement from a first number to a second number.

(2) The sample size of the cell is reduced from a first sample size to a second sample size. The second sampling number is smaller than the first sampling number.

The electronic equipment can perform full-band scanning in a frequency band range corresponding to the network, and determine a neighbor cell with the highest frequency in each frequency band to obtain at least one accessible neighbor cell. The electronic device may then attempt to access each of the at least one accessible neighbor cell in turn until the access is successful. Because the process of the electronic equipment attempting to access the neighboring cell needs to occupy radio frequency resources, the electronic equipment can set a sampling threshold value and sample from the determined at least one accessible neighboring cell according to the sampling threshold value, thereby obtaining at least one neighboring cell sample. And the electronic device may then attempt to access each of the at least one neighbor cell in turn.

In order to reduce the occupation of radio frequency resources of the first SIM card by the second SIM card due to the attempt to access the neighboring cell, the electronic device may reduce the sample number of the cell from the first sample number to the second sample number, so that the second SIM card may reduce the number of attempts to access the neighboring cell.

Optionally, the electronic device may further increase the sampling threshold of the cell from the first sampling threshold to the second sampling threshold. It will be appreciated that increasing the sampling threshold may indirectly reduce the number of samples in the neighbor cell, since increasing the sampling threshold may reduce the screening result.

(3) The maximum validity period of the system information is increased from the first validity period to the second validity period.

The system information is a tie connecting the electronic equipment and the network, and the wireless communication service and the physical process between the electronic equipment and the network equipment can be completed through the transmission of the system information. Since the network device may in some cases need to modify some system parameters, for example, the system parameters may be transmission power control parameters in system information block 1 (system information block, sib1). Therefore, in order to enable the electronic device to acquire updated system information in time when the system parameters are changed, the electronic device can control the second SIM card to execute a system information changing mechanism, namely, the electronic device can control the second SIM card to acquire the system information again when the maximum validity period of the system information is exceeded. For example, taking the maximum validity period of the system information as 3 hours as an example, the electronic device may control the second SIM card to acquire the system information once every 3 hours.

Because the process of the electronic device controlling the second SIM card to acquire the system information needs to occupy the radio frequency resource of the electronic device, when the target application program is determined to be the application program which can acquire better user experience under the low-delay network and is in the interaction stage which is sensitive to time delay, the electronic device can increase the maximum validity period of the system information from the first validity period to the second validity period, thereby avoiding the second SIM card from occupying the radio frequency resource of the first SIM card.

Optionally, the electronic device may increase the maximum validity period of the system information from the first validity period to the second validity period when the remaining duration of the first validity period is less than or equal to the target duration. For example, taking the target duration of 1 minute as an example, when the electronic device determines that the target application is a preset application and the target parameter corresponding to the target application matches the preset parameter, if the remaining duration of the first validity period is less than 1 minute, the electronic device may increase the first validity period to be the second validity period.

The embodiment of the invention provides a SIM card control method, under the condition that an electronic device provides network service for a target application program running currently through a first SIM card, if the target application program is a preset application program and a target parameter corresponding to the target application program is matched with the preset parameter, the electronic device can confirm that the first SIM card is in a scene with higher radio frequency resource requirement, and the electronic device can control a second SIM card to execute a first preset operation for reducing radio frequency resources occupied by the second SIM card, so that the electronic device can allocate more radio frequency resources to the first SIM card, thereby reducing the possibility of time delay generated by the first SIM card and further improving network experience when a user uses the target application program.

Optionally, if the electronic device determines that the target application is a preset application and the target parameter corresponding to the target application does not match the preset parameter, the electronic device may control the second SIM card to perform a second preset operation, that is, the electronic device may control the second SIM card to complete the second preset operation in advance.

As shown in fig. 4, after S303, before S304, the SIM card control method provided by the embodiment of the present invention may further include S305 described below.

S305, controlling the second SIM card to execute a second preset operation by the electronic equipment under the condition that the target application program is a preset application program and the target parameter corresponding to the target application program is not matched with the preset parameter.

The second preset operation is a periodic operation for keeping the second SIM card in a pageable state.

Optionally, the second preset operation is associated with a network where the second SIM card resides. In the case where the network in which the second SIM card resides is different, the second preset operation is also different. Specifically, the controlling, by the electronic device, the second SIM card to perform the second preset operation may include at least one of the following:

(1) And triggering the second SIM card to execute the PRU program under the condition that the residual time length of the timer corresponding to the periodical update registration (periodic registration update, PRU) program is less than or equal to the first time length.

To ensure good network conditions, the electronic device may reselect to a registered cell with better network quality of service. In order to enable the network device to timely learn about the cell information of the newly registered cell, the electronic device needs to periodically execute the PRU program to update the cell information stored in the network, so that when the network where the second SIM card resides is an NR network, the second preset operation triggers the second SIM card to execute the PRU program when the remaining duration of the timer corresponding to the PRU program is less than or equal to the first duration.

It should be noted that, because the execution of the PRU program by the second SIM card needs to occupy radio frequency resources of the electronic device, when the target application program is a preset application program and the target parameter corresponding to the target application program is not matched with the preset parameter, that is, the target application program is not in the interaction stage, the electronic device may control the second SIM card to execute the PRU program in advance, so as to recount the timer.

(2) And triggering the second SIM card to execute the TAU program under the condition that the residual time length of the timer corresponding to the periodic tracking area updating (tracking area update, TAU) program is less than or equal to the second time length.

Because the LTE network needs to periodically re-register the location of the electronic device in the new tracking area, so as to notify the network to update the stored location information of the electronic device, when the network where the second SIM card resides is the LTE network and the second preset operation is that the remaining duration of the timer corresponding to the TAU program is less than or equal to the second duration, the second SIM card is triggered to execute the TAU program.

It should be noted that, because the second SIM card needs to occupy radio frequency resources of the electronic device when executing the TAU program, when the target application is a preset application and the target parameter corresponding to the target application is not matched with the preset parameter, that is, the target application is not in the interaction stage, the electronic device may control the second SIM card to execute the TAU program in advance, so as to recount the timer.

(3) And triggering the second SIM card to execute the RAU program under the condition that the residual time length of the timer corresponding to the periodical routing area update (routing area update, RAU) program is less than or equal to the third time length.

Because the WCDMA network and the GSM network require the electronic device to feed back the routing area information to the electronic device at regular time to realize the routing area tracking of the electronic device, when the network where the second SIM card resides is the WCDMA network or the GSM network, the second preset operation triggers the second SIM card to execute the RAU program when the remaining duration of the timer corresponding to the RAU program is less than or equal to the third duration.

It should be noted that, because the second SIM card needs to occupy radio frequency resources of the electronic device when executing the RAU program, when the target application is a preset application and the target parameter corresponding to the target application is not matched with the preset parameter, that is, the target application is not in the interaction stage, the electronic device may control the second SIM card to execute the RAU program in advance, so as to recount the timer.

(4) And triggering the second SIM card to execute the LAU program under the condition that the remaining time length of a timer corresponding to the periodic location update (LAU) program is less than or equal to the fourth time length.

Because the WCDMA network and the GSM network require the electronic device to feed back the location information to the electronic device at regular time to implement location tracking of the electronic device, in the case where the network where the second SIM card resides is a WCDMA network or a GSM network, the second preset operation may be to trigger the second SIM card to execute the LAU procedure when the remaining duration of the timer corresponding to the LAU procedure is less than or equal to the fourth duration.

It should be noted that, because the execution of the LAU program by the second SIM card needs to occupy radio frequency resources of the electronic device, when the target application is a preset application and the target parameter corresponding to the target application is not matched with the preset parameter, that is, the target application is not in the interaction stage, the electronic device may control the second SIM card to execute the LAU program in advance, so as to recount the timer.

Optionally, in the case where the network where the second SIM card resides is a WCDMA network or a GSM network, the electronic device may execute the RAU procedure, or may execute the LAU procedure, or may execute both the RAU procedure and the LAU procedure. The method and the device can be specifically determined according to the actual moving position of the electronic equipment, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

Optionally, the first duration, the second duration, the third duration, and the fourth duration are associated with a class of the signaling procedure, and the first duration, the second duration, the third duration, and the fourth duration may be the same or different.

In the embodiment of the invention, the electronic device can control the second SIM card to execute the second preset operation under the condition that the target application program is determined to be the preset application program and the target parameter corresponding to the target application program is not matched with the preset parameter. Because the second preset operation is a periodic operation for keeping the second SIM card in a pageable state, when the second SIM card determines that the target application is a preset application and the target parameter corresponding to the target application does not match the preset parameter, the second preset operation is executed in advance, so that the second SIM card does not execute the second preset operation when the target parameter corresponding to the target application matches the preset parameter. Therefore, under the condition that the target application program is determined to be the preset application program and the target parameter corresponding to the target application program is matched with the preset parameter, the second SIM card occupies radio frequency resources of the electronic equipment because the second preset operation is executed, the possibility of time delay generated by the first SIM card can be further reduced, and network experience when a user uses the target application program is improved.
