10. The method according to claim 9, wherein the step of the smart card management platform continuing transmission of the short message of destruction to the mobile station in which the smart card is located comprises:

if times for the smart card management platform transmitting the short message of destruction to the terminal side exceed set times, the smart card management platform transmitting the short message of destruction to the terminal side at a pre-determined time interval.

11. The method according to claim 1, wherein the method further comprises:

if a mobile station in which the smart card is located is in an off-line state, the smart card being updated to a wait-for-destruction state.

12. The method according to claim 11, wherein after the smart card is updated to a wait-for-destruction state, the method further comprises:

if the mobile station, in which the smart card is located, in the off-line state restores to a normal-use state and registers in the mobile network platform, the mobile network platform transmitting a short message command of destruction to the mobile station in which the smart card is located, and the mobile station executing the short message command of destruction.

13. The method according to claim 12, wherein the off-line state comprises one of the following:

the mobile station is in a power-off state;

the mobile station is not in a service area.

14. The method according to claim 1, wherein after the smart card management platform receives an application from the user, the method further comprises:

the smart card management platform judging whether the smart card is valid.

15. The method according to claim 1, wherein before the smart card management platform carries out short message interactive processing with a terminal side via a mobile network platform according to the request, the method further comprises:

the mobile network platform performing security authentication with the terminal side;

wherein the step of the mobile network platform performing security authentication with the terminal side comprises;

after receiving a short message of destruction, the mobile station in which the smart card is located determining whether the short message of destruction is from the smart card management platform;

if not, processing as an ordinary short message;

if yes, performing corresponding smart card destruction operation according to an instruction of the short message of destruction, and the mobile station in which the smart card is located returning a short message of successful execution to the smart card management platform.

17. The method according to claim 1, wherein after the smart card management platform receives the request for destruction of the smart card from the user, the method further comprises:

the smart card management platform searching for state information of the mobile station in which the smart card is located via the mobile network platform;

wherein the step of the smart card management platform searching for state information of the mobile station in which the smart card is located via the mobile network platform comprises;

the smart card management platform searching for, via the mobile network platform, state information of the mobile station in which the smart card is located according to a mobile identification code and location area information of the mobile station.

19. The method according to claim 1, wherein the method further comprises:

the smart card management platform transmitting an instruction of destruction to the terminal side through Over the Air technology, wherein the Over the Air technology comprises a bearer independent protocol.
