SIM MODULE MANAGEMENT METHOD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17925936 titled 'SIM MODULE MANAGEMENT METHOD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for managing SIM modules in electronic devices. It specifically addresses situations where both an eSIM module and a second plug-in SIM module are present.

  • The electronic device detects the insertion of a second plug-in SIM module into a second SIM module interface, while an eSIM module is already in place.
  • The device then checks if a first plug-in SIM module is inserted into a first SIM module interface.
  • If the first SIM module interface is connected to the first plug-in SIM module, the user is prompted to choose between the second plug-in SIM module or the eSIM module.
  • If the first SIM module interface is not connected to the first plug-in SIM module, the user is prompted to connect the second plug-in SIM module to the first SIM module interface.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Mobile phones and smartphones with dual SIM capabilities.
  • Tablets and other portable devices with multiple SIM card slots.
  • IoT devices that require multiple SIM cards for connectivity.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Simplifies the management of SIM modules in electronic devices with multiple SIM card slots.
  • Provides a clear and user-friendly interface for selecting between different SIM modules.
  • Avoids conflicts and confusion when both eSIM and plug-in SIM modules are present.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced flexibility for users to switch between different SIM cards.
  • Streamlined user experience for managing multiple SIM modules.
  • Efficient utilization of both eSIM and plug-in SIM capabilities in electronic devices.


Original Abstract Submitted

Embodiments of this application provide a SIM module management method and an electronic device, and relate to the field of electronic devices. When an eSIM module is in position and it is detected that a second plug-in SIM module is inserted into a second SIM module interface, the electronic device detects whether a first plug-in SIM module is inserted into a first SIM module interface. If the first SIM module interface is connected to the first plug-in SIM module, a user is prompted to select the second plug-in SIM module or the eSIM module. If the first SIM module interface is not connected to the first plug-in SIM module, the user is prompted to connect the second plug-in SIM module to the first SIM module interface.
