Abstract

Provided are a method and device for determining Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card information. The method includes that: negotiation with a terminal is performed to establish a session Identifier (ID) channel; SIM card information allocated for the terminal by a network-side server is acquired; and the SIM card information is sent to the terminal through the session ID channel. With adoption of the technical solutions, the problem in the related art that a large storage space is wasted and a SIM card information acquisition flow is complex because the SIM card information may be acquired only through a physical SIM card is solved, a physical SIM card form is not required, cost is greatly reduced and, meanwhile, a SIM card information acquisition process is simplified.

Claims (30)

1. A method for determining Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card information, comprising:

performing negotiation with a terminal to establish a session Identifier (ID) channel;

acquiring SIM card information allocated for the terminal by a network-side server; and

sending the SIM card information to the terminal through the session ID channel;

before performing negotiation with the terminal to establish the session ID channel, further comprising:

sending broadcast information to the terminal, the broadcast information containing a session ID configured to establish the session ID channel;

wherein acquiring the SIM card information allocated for the terminal by the network-side server comprises:

when it is monitored that the terminal activates the session ID, forwarding request information sent by the terminal and configured to request for the SIM card information to a Broadcast Multicast Service Center (BM-SC); and

receiving the SIM card information acquired by the BM-SC from the network-side server according to the request information and corresponding to the request information.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein sending the SIM card information to the terminal through the session ID channel comprises:

performing encryption processing on the acquired SIM card information; and

sending the SIM card information subjected to encryption processing to the terminal through the session ID channel.

3. A method for determining Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card information, comprising:

performing negotiation with a base station to establish a session Identifier (ID) channel; and

receiving SIM card information sent by the base station through the session ID channel;

after receiving the SIM card information sent by the base station through the session ID channel, further comprising:

sending feedback information to the base station, the feedback information containing indication information configured to indicate that a terminal has used the SIM card information.

4. The method as claimed in claim 3 , wherein performing negotiation with the base station to establish the session ID channel comprises:

receiving broadcast information sent by the base station, the broadcast information containing a session ID configured to establish the session ID channel; and

establishing the session ID channel on the basis of the broadcast information containing the session ID.

5. A Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card information determination device, applied to a base station and comprising:

a first establishment module, configured to perform negotiation with a terminal to establish a session Identifier (ID) channel;

an acquisition module, configured to acquire SIM card information allocated for the terminal by a network-side server; and

a sending module, configured to send the SIM card information to the terminal through the session ID channel;

wherein the sending module is further configured to send broadcast information to the terminal, the broadcast information containing a session ID configured to establish the session ID channel;

wherein the acquisition module is further configured to, when it is monitored that the terminal activates the session ID, forward request information sent by the terminal and configured to request for the SIM card information to a Broadcast Multicast Service Center (BM-SC); and receive the SIM card information acquired by the BM-SC from the network-side server according to the request information and corresponding to the request information.

6. A device for determining Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card information, applied to a terminal and comprising:

a second establishment module, configured to perform negotiation with a base station to establish a session Identifier (ID) channel; and

a receiving module, configured to receive SIM card information sent by the base station through the session ID channel;

the device is further configured to send feedback information to the base station, the feedback information containing indication information configured to indicate that a terminal has used the SIM card information.
