The present disclosure provides a method of controlling a display of a SIM card function menu, the method including: determining whether a preset command corresponding to a corresponding preset function is received from the SIM card; and uninstalling a default function module corresponding to the preset function, in response to no preset command corresponding to the preset function being received from the SIM card. The present disclosure further provides a device having a storage function and a terminal.

Examples described herein relate to managing communications on a first subscription and a second subscription of a multi-Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) wireless communication device via a Radio Frequency (RF) resource, including, but not limited to, tuning the RF resource away from the second subscription to the first subscription, detecting a network-set activation state of a secondary cell associated with the first subscription, and adjusting the activation state of the secondary cell based on the network-set activation state.

The present disclosure relates to a communication technique that combines a 5G communication system for supporting a data rate that is higher than that of a beyond 4G system with IoT technology, and a system thereof. The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services on the basis of 5G communication technology and IoT related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car or connected car, health care, digital education, retail, security and safety related services. Disclosed is a method for causing a cellular network itself to receive provisioning of a SIM profile to make it possible to use a normal cellular network service.

Embodiments of this application provide a data transmission method, a multi-function card, and an electronic device. The multi-function card may work as a SIM card or a memory card by using electrical contacts through time division multiplexing. Data is transmitted between the multi-function card and a processor in the electronic device, so that a function of subscriber identity identification can be implemented, and a storage capacity of the electronic device can be expanded. Storage space expanded in the electronic device may be used to store a picture, audio, a video, and an application program. The data transmission method and the multi-function card provided in embodiments of this application may be used to save physical space in the electronic device. This is conducive to lightening and thinning of the electronic device.

A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which a card assignment, allocation, and distribution service is provided. The service may include generating vendor-agnostic identifiers that create a unified inventory among cards of different vendors. The service may also include generating vendor-agnostic identifiers with criterion data based on the vendor-agnostic identifiers. The criterion data may be used to steer and distribute cards among distribution devices associated with different vendor platforms. The vendor-agnostic identifiers with criterion data may optimize or minimize the generation and storage of data used to manage allocation and distribution of cards. Also, the vendor-agnostic identifiers with criterion data may reduce and/or streamline the network processing in allocation and distribution procedures of the cards to end devices.

A method is for a first-time startup of a not fully personalized secure element, which serves for the use of services of a mobile communication network, in a mobile terminal. In the method, the secure element is started and requested to transmit a status message. The secure element transmits a status message in which it is stated whether the secure element: S1) contains only a bootloader but as yet no firmware image for the secure element; S2) contains a firmware image for the secure element but is not yet fully personalized; or S3) is fully personalized. The secure element is accepted in the cases S1), S2) and S3) and rejected in other cases. In the case S1), a download for a firmware image of the secure element is initiated for a first-time startup.
