The examples of the present disclosure provide a SIM card sharing method, which can be applied to a client (the client may include: a PAD and/or a mobile phone) that currently supports communication functions of a modem. If no SIM card is inserted into the client, or when a SIM card is inserted and the data traffic is limited, the terminal can share the SIM card of other servers through the SIM card sharing technology, i.e., “virtually moving the SIM card”, without plugging or unplugging any physical SIM card, so that the terminal can use the SIM card of another terminal to access the network and/or make calls.
As shown in
The server 310 includes two processors:
The application processor 311 and the modem processor 312 exchange information through a multi-processor inter-process communication interface (or called as a general interface). The interface may be a Qualcomm Message Interface (QMI) as shown in
The application processor 311 operates on the application layer, and the modem processor 312 can operate on the physical layer.
