Problems solved by technology

[0002] At present, at least one SIM card that can be inserted into mobile phones generally supports eSIM cards, but the configuration of the baseband chip of the mobile phone cannot support all SIM cards and eSIM cards at the same time , usually, one of the SIM cards (such as the secondary SIM card) of the mobile phone shares radio frequency resources with the eSIM card. When the secondary SIM card is in the working state, the eSIM card is offline; The circuit is in a power-off state. When the SIM card is inserted into the secondary card slot or there is a physical SIM card in the secondary card slot when the phone is turned on, the mobile phone cannot recognize the insertion of the SIM card, and the inserted SIM card cannot be used. At this time, the user may It will be considered that the SIM card is damaged or the phone is malfunctioning

Embodiment 1

[0125] After the electronic device is turned on, the user can take out the card tray. At this time, after the electronic terminal recognizes that the card tray is pulled out, it can interrupt the connection between the SIM card and the / SD card on the card tray. The user can put the SIM card or SD card into the card tray, and then insert the card tray carrying the card (secondary SIM card or SD card) into the card slot of the electronic device. Such as Figure 9A As shown, the SIM card can be removed or inserted when the electronic device is on any interface. After taking out the card or before inserting the card, the user interface of the electronic device is as follows: Figure 9A As shown, the interface 90 includes a content display area 901 , a status bar 902 and a navigation bar 903 . in:

[0126] The content display area 901 may be the main interface of the electronic device currently displayed by the electronic device, or may be the user interface of the currently op...

Embodiment 2

[0140] The user can press the power button of the electronic device, and the electronic device starts up at this time. During the booting process, the electronic device loads the operating system. After the operating system is loaded, the electronic device can detect the card to be detected and the state of the eSIM card. . If the SIM card is detected and the eSIM is enabled, indication information for instructing the user to select the SIM card or the eSIM card may be output. Such as Figure 10 As shown, the method may include but not limited to the following steps:

[0141] S1001: Detect the type of the card to be detected after the operating system is loaded.

[0142] In a specific implementation, the electronic device can pass the above Figure 7A and Figure 7B The method shown to detect the type of card to be detected. When the card to be detected is a SIM card, the electronic device can execute S102-S104; when the card to be detected is an SD card, the electronic d...

Abstract

The invention discloses an SIM card, an eSIM switching method and electronic equipment. The method is applied to the electronic equipment, the electronic equipment at least comprises a card connector and an eSIM card, the SIM card connected with the card connector and the eSIM card share radio frequency resources, and the method comprises the steps that after the electronic equipment is started or a card support is inserted into the electronic equipment, the electronic equipment can determine the type of a to-be-detected card connected with the card connector, and the type comprises the SIM card; therefore, when the to-be-detected card is the SIM card and the eSIM card is enabled, a prompt box is displayed, the prompt box comprises a first control, and the first control is used for indicating to switch the eSIM card to the to-be-detected card. According to the embodiment of the invention, the identification of the SIM card sharing the radio frequency resources with the eSIM card can be realized when the eSIM card is enabled, a user is indicated to switch between the SIM card and the eSIM card, and the convenience of switching between the eSIM card and the SIM card is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the field of terminal technology, and in particular to a method for switching between a SIM card and an eSIM card and an electronic device. Background technique [0002] At present, at least one SIM card that can be inserted into a mobile phone generally supports eSIM cards, but the configuration of the baseband chip of the mobile phone cannot support all SIM cards and eSIM cards at the same time. Usually, one SIM card (such as a secondary SIM card) The radio frequency resources are shared with the eSIM card. When the secondary SIM card is in the working state, the eSIM card is offline; conversely, when the eSIM card is in the working state, the circuit of the secondary card slot is in a power-off state, and the SIM card or There is a physical SIM card in the secondary card slot when the phone is turned on, and the mobile phone cannot recognize the insertion of the SIM card, and the inserted SIM card cannot be used. A...
