Description

ESIM management method and related device Technical Field The application relates to the technical field of communication, in particular to an eSIM management method and a related device. Background In the field of mobile communications, with the development of mobile communications technology, more and more electronic devices support communication with an operator's network using an embedded subscriber identity card (embedded subscriber identity module, eSIM) scheme. The eSIM solution is to directly embed a traditional SIM card on a chip of an electronic device, rather than adding the traditional SIM card to the device as a separate removable component, and the user does not need to insert a physical SIM card. This approach would allow the user more flexibility in selecting an operator and re-writing new numbers in the eSIM module of the electronic device. However, since the eSIM module can flexibly select an operator, the operator is difficult to form effective management on the eSIM service, which affects the security of the mobile communication network. Disclosure of Invention The application provides an eSIM management method and a related device, which realize that electronic equipment in a first area is prohibited from downloading a first Profile of an operator in other areas, and improve the safety of using eSIM service in the first area. In a first aspect, the application provides an eSIM management method, which comprises the steps that electronic equipment obtains downloading information of a first Profile, wherein the downloading information of the first Profile comprises an address of a Profile server, and if the address of the Profile server does not belong to an operator in a first area and a first position of the electronic equipment is in the first area, a first prompt is output, and the first prompt is used for prompting a user not to allow the first Profile to be downloaded. By the eSIM management method provided by the embodiment of the application, after the eSIM service is opened, the electronic equipment can acquire the download information of the first Profile, and if the address of the configuration file server is detected to not belong to an operator in the first area from the download information of the first Profile and the electronic equipment is in the first area, the first Profile is not downloaded and a first prompt is output, wherein the first prompt is used for prompting a user to disallow downloading the first Profile of the eSIM module. In this way, the electronic device in the first area can be prohibited from downloading the first Profile of the operators in other areas, so that the safety of using the eSIM service in the first area is improved. In one possible implementation, if the address of the Profile server belongs to the operator of the first region, or if the address of the Profile server does not belong to the operator of the first region but the first location where the electronic device is located is not within the first region, the electronic device downloads the first Profile from the Profile server into an eSIM module of the electronic device. In this way, the electronic device in the first region may be allowed to download the first Profile of the operator in the first region, or the electronic device in the other region may download the first Profile of the operator in the other region. In one possible implementation, after the electronic device downloads the first Profile from the Profile server to an eSIM module of the electronic device, the method further includes the electronic device activating the first Profile in the eSIM module. In this way, the electronic device may be enabled to activate the use of the first Profile after downloading the first Profile. In one possible implementation, after the electronic device downloads the first Profile from the Profile server to the eSIM module of the electronic device, the method further includes the electronic device detecting a first event that activates the first Profile, and outputting a second prompt for prompting a user that the first Profile is not allowed to be activated if an operator of the first Profile does not belong to the first region and a second location where the electronic device is located is within the first region in response to the first event. In this way, when the electronic device successfully subscribes to the eSIM service and downloads the first Profile, but does not activate the first Profile, the electronic device may detect a first event that activates the first Profile (e.g., receives an operation that activates the first Profile from a user), and the electronic device may determine whether the operator of the first Profile belongs to the first region and whether the electronic device is within the first region. In this way, when the electronic device is in the first area, the first Profile downloaded by the operators in other areas is forbidden, for example, when the electro
