==GAP REQUEST METHOD AND APPARATUS, REQUEST RECEIVING METHOD AND APPARATUS, AND COMMUNICATION APPARATUS AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18689670 titled 'GAP REQUEST METHOD AND APPARATUS, REQUEST RECEIVING METHOD AND APPARATUS, AND COMMUNICATION APPARATUS AND STORAGE MEDIUM

The abstract of this patent application describes a method for requesting a network side device to configure a gap for performing multi-SIM card connection switching for a terminal.

* The method involves sending a request to the network side device to configure the gap for the terminal.
* The configured gap allows the terminal to switch between multiple SIM cards for communication.
* During the gap, one SIM card stops communicating with the network side device while another SIM card takes over for communication.
* This innovation enables seamless multi-SIM card connection switching for the terminal.

Potential Applications:
- Mobile devices with multiple SIM card slots
- IoT devices requiring flexible connectivity options

Problems Solved:
- Simplifying the process of switching between multiple SIM cards
- Enhancing the efficiency of multi-SIM card management

Benefits:
- Improved connectivity options for users
- Streamlined SIM card switching process
- Enhanced user experience with multi-SIM devices

Commercial Applications:
Title: "Enhanced Multi-SIM Connectivity for Mobile Devices"
This technology can be applied in smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices to provide users with seamless multi-SIM card connectivity options. It can also be integrated into IoT devices for enhanced connectivity management.

Questions about Multi-SIM Card Connection Switching:
1. How does the configured gap facilitate multi-SIM card connection switching?
The configured gap allows the terminal to switch between SIM cards seamlessly by temporarily disconnecting one SIM card while the other takes over for communication.

2. What are the potential benefits of multi-SIM card connection switching for users?
Users can enjoy enhanced connectivity options, improved network coverage, and increased flexibility in managing multiple SIM cards.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

The present disclosure relates to a gap request method. The method can include sending a request to a network side device, so as to request that the network side device configures, for a terminal, a gap for performing multi-SIM card connection switching. According to the present disclosure, a terminal may send a request to a network side device, so as to request that the network side device configures, for the terminal, a gap for performing multi-SIM card connection switching, such that when subsequently performing multi-SIM card connection switching, the terminal may perform multi-SIM card connection switching on the basis of the configured gap, for example, during the gap, a first SIM card stops communicating with the network side device, and is switched to a second SIM card for communication.
