Profile download method and device
This application relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a profile download technology. In a profile download method, a primary device obtains an embedded integrated circuit card identifier (EID) of a secondary device, where the EID is used by the primary device to obtain, from a mobile operator server, profile download information that matches the EID; receives the profile download information from the mobile operator server; and sends the profile download information to the secondary device, where the profile download information is used by the secondary device to download a profile from a profile management server, and the profile is installed in an embedded UICC (eUICC) of the secondary device after the download is complete.
1. A system, comprising:
a first device configured to:
obtain an embedded universal integrated circuit card (eUICC) identifier (EID) of a second device;
send, to a mobile operator network, a first message indicating a profile download request, wherein the first message comprises the EID;
receive a profile associated with the EID from the mobile operator network;
send the profile to the second device; and
send an unbinding request to the mobile operator network for unbinding a multiple-device, single-mobile subscriber integrated services digital network number (MSISDN)-service, binding relationship between the first device and the second device; and
the second device configured to:
install the profile in an eUICC of the second device, wherein an MSISDN of the first device is shared by the second device; and
delete the profile in the eUICC in response to receiving an unbinding operation indication.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first device is further configured to obtain the EID by obtaining the EID via a BLUETOOTH connection between the first device and the second device.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first message further comprises an identifier of the first device, and wherein the identifier comprises any one of an integrated circuit card identify (ICCID), the MSISDN, or an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI).
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first device is further configured to:
display a web page comprising contract information; and
receive a user input for approving a service term of the contract information.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first device is further configured to receive the profile by receiving the profile from a profile management server.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the unbinding request comprises a first identifier of the first device and a second identifier of the second device.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first device is further configured to:
perform an authentication process with the mobile operator network, wherein the authentication process comprises an Extensible Authentication Protocol-Authentication and Key Agreement (EAP-AKA) authentication process; and
obtain authentication success information from the mobile operator network in response to the authentication process.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second device is further configured to delete the profile by:
sending a profile release request to a profile management server;
receiving a profile release result from the profile management server in response to the profile release request; and
deleting the profile in response to the profile release result.
9. A first device, comprising:
a universal integrated circuit card (UICC);
a processor; and
a memory coupled to the processor and configured to store instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the first device to:
obtain an embedded universal integrated circuit card (eUICC) identifier (EID) of a second device;
send, to a mobile operator network, a first message indicating a profile download request, wherein the first message comprises the EID of the second device;
receive a profile associated with the EID from the mobile operator network;
send the profile to the second device; and
send an unbinding instruction to the second device for deleting the profile in an eUICC of the second device.
10. The first device of claim 9 , wherein the instructions cause the first device to obtain the EID of the second device by obtaining the EID of the eUICC of the second device via a BLUETOOTH connection with the second device.
11. The first device of claim 9 , wherein the first message further comprises an identifier of the first device, and wherein the identifier of the first device comprises any one of an integrated circuit card identify (ICCID), a mobile subscriber integrated services digital network number (MSISDN), or an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI).
12. The first device of claim 9 , wherein the instructions further cause the first device to:
display a web page comprising contract information; and
receive a user input for approving a service term of the contract information.
13. The first device of claim 9 , wherein the profile comprises an address of a profile management server.
14. The first device of claim 9 , wherein the unbinding instruction comprises a first identifier of the first device and a second identifier of the second device.
15. The first device of claim 9 , wherein the instructions further cause the first device to:
perform an authentication process with the mobile operator network; and
obtain authentication success information from the mobile operator network.
16. The first device of claim 15 , wherein the authentication process is an Extensible Authentication Protocol-Authentication and Key Agreement (EAP-AKA) authentication process.
17. A computer program product comprising instructions stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium that, when executed by a processor, cause a first device to:
obtain an embedded universal integrated circuit card (eUICC) identifier (EID) of a second device;
send, to a mobile operator network, a first message indicating a profile download request, wherein the first message comprises the EID of the second device;
receive a profile associated with the EID from the mobile operator network;
send the profile to the second device; and
send an unbinding instruction to the second device for deleting the profile in an eUICC of the second device.
18. The computer program product of claim 17 , wherein the instructions cause the first device to obtain the EID of the second device by obtaining the EID of the eUICC of the second device via a BLUETOOTH connection with the second device.
19. The computer program product of claim 17 , wherein the first message further comprises an identifier of the first device, and wherein the identifier of the first device comprises any one of an integrated circuit card identify (ICCID), a mobile subscriber integrated services digital network number (MSISDN), or an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI).
20. The computer program product of claim 17 , wherein the instructions further cause the first device to:
display a web page comprising contract information; and
receive a user input for approving a service term of the contract information.
