Abstract

The present application relates to a cloud SIM card allocation and management method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a storage medium. Cloud SIM cards of different operators are allocated as a group of cloud SIM card modules to a terminal device. After obtaining the allocated cloud SIM card module, the terminal device can use a primary cloud SIM card in the cloud SIM card module for daily communication. When it is detected that the terminal device is abnormal, a new cloud SIM card allocation request is sent by means of a secondary cloud SIM card in the allocated cloud SIM card module, so as to obtain a new cloud SIM card module to replace the cloud SIM card module currently used by the terminal device. The present application effectively reduces the probability of occurrence of a situation in which, when a fault is caused by an anomaly on a certain operator side, the generated batch of abnormal devices share one virtual card as a boot card at the same time, causing conflicts with each other thereby resulting in the inability to replace the card. The solution can effectively ensure more reasonable utilization of resources, is convenient to operate, and achieve better user experience.

Description

Cloud card allocation and management methods, devices, electronic equipment and storage media Technical Field This application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a cloud card allocation and management method, device, electronic device and storage medium. Background Technology With the continuous improvement of technology, wireless networks are becoming more and more common in people's lives. Within the coverage area of a wireless network, end users have the ability to make mobile communications. When end users move, they often have to move from one service area to another. In order to avoid network communication interruption when mobile users switch between different service areas, the concept of wireless roaming has been introduced. However, for networks of different operators to roam with each other, roaming protocols between operators are required, which will result in high roaming costs. To reduce roaming costs, the traditional approach is for users to replace the physical SIM card in their devices during cross-border travel. However, this method requires users to manually remove and install the physical SIM card, which is inconvenient. Furthermore, if a user needs to travel between different regions with their device in a short period, replacing multiple physical SIM cards can easily lead to confusion. Therefore, this method of replacing the SIM card in the device is not practical. To address the aforementioned issues, related technologies offer cloud SIM card services, allowing users to download a corresponding cloud SIM card (i.e., a virtual SIM card) to their terminal when moving to a different region without manually changing their SIM card. This makes it easier to replace the SIM card used by the terminal, ensuring the compatibility of the SIM card used by the terminal with the region, reducing costs while maintaining convenience. A cloud SIM card is a user identification module (SIM card) that distributes cloud SIM card information to devices (i.e., terminals using the cloud SIM card) via a server. In some cloud SIM card applications, the server sends the cloud SIM card information to the terminal, which then registers with the operator's network based on the cloud SIM card information to enable wireless communication. Devices using cloud cards typically require a pre-installed seed card. This seed card acts as the ignition card, sending a cloud card allocation request to the server to obtain the corresponding cloud card for the terminal to use. Since the seed card, acting as the ignition card, is only used when sending the cloud card allocation request and is not used most of the time, some devices use virtual cards to form seed cards (i.e., forming virtual ignition cards) pre-installed in the devices using cloud cards. Each virtual ignition card can be used by multiple devices for more efficient resource allocation. Summary of the Invention In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies in the related technologies, this application provides a cloud card allocation and management method, device, electronic device and storage medium that can reduce the probability of conflicts and inability to replace cards when cloud card devices using the same operator are used in batches at the same time to replace cards due to problems with a certain operator. This can effectively improve the user experience, provide good performance and ease of use. Firstly, this application provides a method for allocating and managing cloud cards, applied in a cloud card management system, comprising: In response to a cloud card allocation request sent by a terminal device, a cloud card module is allocated to the terminal device. The cloud card module includes a primary cloud card and a secondary cloud card, wherein the primary cloud card and the secondary cloud card belong to different operators. The terminal device acquires the assigned cloud card module; The terminal device communicates through the primary cloud card in the assigned cloud card module, and when the terminal device is detected to meet the preset judgment conditions, it sends a new cloud card allocation request through the secondary cloud card in the assigned cloud card module to obtain a new cloud card module to replace the cloud card module currently used by the terminal device. Multiple cloud card modules form a cloud card combination; Among them, the primary cloud card in one cloud card module of the cloud card combination belonging to the same group can be used as a secondary cloud card in another cloud card module of the same cloud card combination, and the secondary cloud card in one cloud card module of the cloud card combination can be used as a primary cloud card in another cloud card module of the same cloud card combination. The preset determination conditions include: The terminal device is currently unable to communicate, and the duration of the communication failure exceeds the system's preset duration. The m
