Abstract:
1. A method of identifying a SIM card of a mobile terminal comprising a power supply module and a power management module, comprising the steps of: (A) presetting three different reference voltages in the power management module; (B) the power management module controlling the power supply module to supply a first reference voltage of the three different reference voltages to the SIM card, wherein when the mobile terminal responds, go to step (C), and when the mobile terminal does not respond, go to step (D); (C) determining whether an operating voltage of the SIM card is equal to the first reference voltage by comparing the operating voltage of the SIM card with the first reference voltage, wherein when the operating voltage of the SIM card is equal to the first reference voltage, the SIM card is successfully identified and the mobile terminal enters into a normal standby state, and when the operating voltage of the SIM card is not equal to the first reference voltage, go to step (D); (D) the power management module controlling the power supply module to supply a second reference voltage to the SIM card, wherein when the mobile terminal responds, go to step (E), and when the mobile terminal does not respond, go to step (F); (E) determining whether the operating voltage of the SIM card is equal to the second reference voltage by comparing the operating voltage of the SIM card with the second reference voltage, wherein when the operating voltage of the SIM card is equal to the second reference voltage, the SIM card is successfully identified and the mobile terminal enters into the normal standby state, and when the operating voltage of the SIM card is not equal to the second reference voltage, go to step (F); (F) the power management module controlling the power supply module to supply a third reference voltage to the SIM card, wherein when the mobile terminal responds, go to step (G), and when the mobile terminal does not respond, go to step (H); (G) determining whether the operating voltage of the SIM card is equal to the third reference voltage by comparing the operating voltage of the SIM card with the third reference voltage, wherein when the operating voltage of the SIM card is equal to the third reference voltage, the SIM card is successfully identified and the mobile terminal enters into the normal standby state, and when the operating voltage of the SIM card is not equal to the third reference voltage, go to step (H); and (H) determining that the SIM card can not be identified.
