First embodiment

Fig. 3 is a basic flowchart of the network registration method provided in this embodiment, in the network registration method of this embodiment, a network auxiliary registration module that can help the SIM to register with the operator network is provided on the vehicle device, and in this embodiment, when the user uses the vehicle, both cards of the dual-card terminal can be registered with the operator network, which not only effectively utilizes the advantages of the dual-card terminal, but also improves the bandwidth. The popularization degree of the vehicle device is high, the scheme of the embodiment can be popularized nationwide, and the implementation cost of the scheme of the embodiment is reduced. The network registration method of the embodiment comprises the following steps:

s301, receiving a network registration instruction triggered by a user, establishing connection between a communication module of a target vehicle and a user terminal according to the network registration instruction, and receiving registration information of a second SIM card sent by the user terminal through the communication module; the second SIM card is an SIM card of which the user terminal is not registered to the operator network currently;

the target vehicle in the present embodiment includes, but is not limited to, a car, a truck, a bus, a trailer, etc., and it is understood that the target vehicle in the present embodiment is a vehicle having an in-vehicle device whose function includes, but is not limited to, navigation, entertainment, etc. The target vehicle in this embodiment is provided with a communication module and a network assisted registration module. In one example of the embodiment, the in-vehicle device has a touch screen thereon, and the in-vehicle device can receive a network registration instruction input by a user through the touch screen. Further, in this embodiment, before S301, the vehicle-mounted device may query whether the user needs to perform network registration, where the query includes a query in which a prompt box is displayed through a touch screen, and when the user selects yes, the network registration instruction is triggered. In addition, in this embodiment, the vehicle-mounted device may further query, by using a voice, whether the user performs network registration, and if the voice input by the user is received by the voice acquisition module of the vehicle-mounted device, the voice acquisition module triggers a network registration instruction.

The communication module of this embodiment may be a wireless communication module or a wired communication module. It is understood that, when the communication module is a wired communication module, a data line interface is provided on the target vehicle for data interaction with a data interface (typically, a power interface) on the user terminal through a data line. Further, the data line interface of the wired communication module may be a USB interface, so that wired data interaction between the wired communication module and the user terminal may be accomplished by using the power line of the user terminal. Further, in order to avoid the situation that the user cannot use the wired communication module without carrying the data line, in this embodiment, the wired communication module on the target vehicle may be connected with the data line, and in order to adapt to more user terminal models, the data line may be provided with a plurality of types of interfaces, such as a Type-C interface, an apple Lightning interface, and the like. For the wireless communication module, it may be a bluetooth module, a WiFi module, an NFC module, an external transmission module, and other wireless communication modules, but considering that data downloaded or sent by the user through the second SIM card needs to pass through the wireless communication module and the network assisted registration module, the faster the data transmission, the better the user experience, so generally, the wireless communication module is preferably a module with faster data transmission, such as a WiFi module or a high-speed bluetooth module, and of course, the wireless communication module of this embodiment may be other types of modules.

The second SIM card in this embodiment may be a card in any one of two card slots of the dual-card terminal, and the second SIM card may be a "standard card" (SIMCARD), "small card" (Micro SIM), or "mini card" (Nano SIM). In this embodiment, the size of the SIM card is not limited, and the operator to which the SIM card belongs is not limited at all, for example, in China, the operator to which the second SIM card belongs may be any one of mobile, internet and telecommunication. In view of the popularization of the existing 4G network, the second SIM card is generally a 4G card, and of course, with the continuous development of network systems, the second SIM card may also be a 5G card, and so on. The user terminal of the present embodiment refers to the structure and the related description of the mobile terminal shown in fig. 1.

Optionally, the second SIM card in this embodiment may be an eSIM card (virtual SIM card), and the virtual SIM card may be integrated in the user terminal before factory shipment.

S302, a network auxiliary registration module arranged on the target vehicle acquires registration information of the second SIM card, identifies an operator network to which the second SIM card is to be registered according to the registration information, and registers the second SIM card to the operator network;

the network assisted registration module of this embodiment has a circuit connection with the communication module, and the network assisted registration module is configured to register a second SIM card in a network of a corresponding operator through information interaction between the communication module and the second SIM card on the user terminal. The network assisted registration module includes a modem, which can convert digital signals into analog signals and convert analog signals into digital signals. The network assisted registration module in this embodiment may be integrated on the vehicle-mounted device, and the acquiring, by the network assisted registration module, the registration information of the second SIM card received by the communication module includes: the communication module sends the registration information of the second SIM card to the network auxiliary registration module through the connection with the network auxiliary registration module, and the network auxiliary registration module receives the registration information of the second SIM card. The registration information of the second SIM card is information required for registering the second SIM card to a corresponding operator network, and it is expected that the registration information carries identification information of the SIM card, such as a phone number of the SIM card, and the like.

In this embodiment, the network assisted registration module may identify an operator to which the SIM card belongs according to registration information, such as a phone number of the SIM card, and send the registration information to a corresponding operator network. It can be understood that, during registration, a network in which the SIM card can be registered is affected by not only an operator to which the SIM card belongs but also a network standard supported by the network assisted registration module, and the network assisted registration module in this embodiment may support all standards of domestic operators in one example. In consideration of the development of the current network standard, the network assisted registration module of this embodiment may also perform software or hardware update, so as to support a network standard faster than 4G, such as 5G, and so on. Further, the network systems supported by the network assisted registration module of this embodiment include, but are not limited to, the network systems after 2G, 3G, 4G, and 4G.

It can be understood that, when the network assisted registration module identifies the operator network to which the second SIM card is to be registered, assuming that the identified operator network is mobile, if the currently mobile 4G network has poor signal, the last registration may be a mobile 3G or 2G network. In the process that the user terminal uses the network auxiliary module to surf the internet, when the mobile 4G network around the user terminal is detected to have better signals, the network of the second SIM card can be switched to the 4G network with better signals, and the switching process can be realized through the communication module and the network auxiliary registration module of the target vehicle.

And S303, the network auxiliary registration module acquires feedback information returned by the operator network, and sends the feedback information to the second SIM card of the user terminal through the communication module.

After the registration information is sent out, the network assisted registration module receives feedback information returned by the operator network, and sends the feedback information to the second SIM card, if the feedback information is feedback information that the registration is successful, the registration of the second SIM card is completed, and if the feedback information is feedback information that the registration is failed, it can be understood that, in this embodiment, the user terminal may further perform network registration of the second SIM card again by sending the registration information of the second SIM card to the network assisted registration module again. In this embodiment, in the method for registering the second SIM card in the operator, the data exchanged between the second SIM card and the operator network is the same as the data exchanged when the SIM cards on other terminals register the operator network through the terminal, and the difference between the two methods is that in this embodiment, the data exchanged with the second SIM card needs to be transmitted to the network auxiliary registration module on the target vehicle through the communication module of the user terminal itself and the communication module on the target vehicle, and then the network auxiliary registration module sends the registration information to the operator network.

In the network registration method of the embodiment, the communication module and the network registration auxiliary module are arranged on the vehicle, and after the communication module of the target vehicle is connected with the user terminal, the communication module receives the registration information of the second SIM card sent by the user terminal; the network auxiliary registration module acquires the registration information of the second SIM card received by the communication module; identifying an operator network to which the second SIM card is to be registered according to the registration information, and registering the second SIM card to the operator network; the network auxiliary registration module acquires feedback information returned by the operator network, and sends the feedback information to the second SIM card of the user terminal through the communication module. Therefore, the dual-card terminal can simultaneously use two networks of the two SIM cards to send and download data at the same time, so that the bandwidth of the user terminal is improved, and the user experience is improved.

Second embodiment

In this embodiment, in consideration that the data line of the wired communication module has limitation on the user terminal used by the user, the wireless communication module is not good for use, and the wireless communication module can basically meet the requirement of data transmission, the present embodiment takes the communication module as the wireless communication module as an example to illustrate the network registration method in detail. Referring to fig. 4, the network registration method of the present embodiment includes:

s401, receiving a network registration instruction input by a user through a touch screen of an on-board device of a target vehicle.

In this embodiment, the touch screen of the in-vehicle device may display an interface as shown in fig. 5 to prompt the user whether to perform network registration of the SIM card, and if so, trigger the network registration instruction, otherwise, not trigger the network registration instruction.

In one embodiment, the network registration instruction may be sent to the target vehicle by the user terminal after the user terminal triggers the network registration instruction.

And S402, the power supply module on the control target vehicle starts to supply power to the network auxiliary registration module.

For the wireless communication module, it may be a bluetooth module, a WiFi module, an NFC module, an external transmission module, and other wireless communication modules, but considering that data downloaded or sent by the user through the second SIM card needs to pass through the wireless communication module and the network assisted registration module, the faster the data transmission, the better the user experience, so generally, the wireless communication module is preferably a module with faster data transmission, such as a WiFi module or a high-speed bluetooth module, and of course, the wireless communication module of this embodiment may be other types of modules.

Considering that the wired communication module has an influence on the use of the wired terminal by the user, in order to avoid the influence, preferably, the communication module is a wireless communication module, and the wireless communication module includes at least one of a WiFi module, a bluetooth module and an NFC module; processor 64 is configured to execute one or more programs stored in memory 63 to implement the steps of the network registration method as follows:

The second SIM card in this embodiment may be a card in any one of two card slots of the dual-card terminal, and the second SIM card may be a "standard card" (SIMCARD), "small card" (Micro SIM), or "mini card" (Nano SIM). In this embodiment, the size of the SIM card is not limited, and the operator to which the SIM card belongs is not limited at all, for example, in China, the operator to which the second SIM card belongs may be any one of mobile, internet and telecommunication. In view of the popularization of the existing 4G network, the second SIM card is generally a 4G card, and of course, with the continuous development of network systems, the second SIM card may also be a 5G card, and so on.

In this embodiment, in the method for registering the second SIM card with the operator, the data exchanged between the second SIM card and the operator network is the same as the data exchanged when the SIM cards on other terminals register with the operator network through the terminal, and the difference between the two methods is that in this embodiment, the data exchanged with the second SIM card needs to be transmitted to the network auxiliary registration module on the vehicle device through the communication module of the user terminal itself and the communication module on the vehicle device, and then the network auxiliary registration module sends the registration information to the operator network.

By adopting the method of the embodiment, a new mode can be provided for the SIM card on the terminal to register the operator network, and by adopting the embodiment, two SIM cards on the dual-card terminal can be simultaneously registered in the operator network, for example, the two SIM cards are both registered in the LTE network.

Particularly, the popularization rate of the method of the embodiment can be ensured under the conditions that the current vehicle devices are widely distributed and have high popularization.
