Detailed Description

The technical solution in the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

NFC technology has been widely used in people's lives. Generally, the NFC device has three working modes, the first mode is an active mode, also called a card reader/writer (RW) mode, and the NFC device working in the RW mode is used as a card reader to actively send a radio frequency signal to identify and read and write other NFC devices, for example, the NFC device is applied to a POS machine, a door access, and the like; the second mode is a passive mode, also called a Card Emulation (CE) mode, and an NFC device operating in the CE mode may be read and written as a card, and passively responds in a radio frequency field emitted by other NFC devices, for example, applied to mobile payment; the third is a peer to peer (P2P) mode. Hereinafter, for the sake of brevity, an NFC device operating in RW mode is referred to as an RW device, an NFC device operating in CE mode is referred to as a CE device, and an NFC device operating in P2P mode is referred to as a PSP device.

In the use process of three modes of NFC, communication abnormity caused by reasons such as non-hardware damage and the like can occur, so that communication failure is caused, and even an NFC chip is hung up. The reasons for these non-hardware failures include, but are not limited to, the following:

1) Sampling or decoding errors of electromagnetic waves in a normal frequency range such as a 13.56Mhz range by a hardware module of the NFC chip;

2) The clock of the hardware of the NFC chip is inaccurate, so that the running time sequence of the NFC chip is abnormal;

3) Signal sources with other frequencies or foreign matter interference sources and the like exist outside the NFC chip, so that a hardware module of the NFC chip is in an abnormal working state;

4) The configuration of register parameters or feature values of the hardware of the NFC chip does not conform to expected values of the current scenario, but the NFC chip will still operate in this scenario.

For communication abnormality caused by non-hardware damage and the like, a hardware module of the NFC chip cannot work normally, a software module in the NFC chip falls into an unexpected operating state due to abnormal reply of the hardware module, and a command issued by a host (device host, DH) or a security chip (SE) and other master control devices cannot respond normally, and the master control devices terminate a current application process and power off to restart the NFC system, so that the NFC system can be restored to an available state again for a long time, and a user feels obvious pause when using an application program, which affects user experience.

Therefore, the scheme of near field communication aims at solving the problem of communication abnormity caused by non-hardware damage in an NFC chip, and due to the fact that the hardware module which is abnormal is restarted in the standing standby state of the NFC chip, the whole NFC system is not required to be restarted after power failure, so that the NFC chip can be recovered to the state before abnormity under the condition that a user does not sense the NFC chip, and user experience is greatly improved.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a method 100 of near field communication according to an embodiment of the present application. The method 100 is applied to the NFC chip 200, and the NFC chip 200 may be applied to an NFC device in a CE mode, an NFC device in a RW mode, or an NFC device in a P2P mode. The NFC chip 200 is connected to a host device 300, and the host device 300 may be, for example, a Device Host (DH), a security chip (SE), a Universal Integrated Circuit Card (UICC), a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM), or other read heads and gates.

The method 100 may be performed by the master device 300 and the NFC chip 200. Specifically, the NFC chip 200 includes the near field communication apparatus 210 therein, and the method 100 may be performed by the near field communication apparatus 210 and the master device 300. It should be understood that the apparatus 210 described in the embodiment of the present application refers to a software module or a software portion of the NFC chip 200, for example, the apparatus 210 may be a firmware 210 of the NFC chip 200. Further, the NFC chip 200 includes a hardware module 220 connected to the apparatus 210. The device 210 in the NFC chip 200 and the hardware module 220 may interact with each other, so that the hardware module 220 is controlled by the device 210 to implement corresponding functions. Hereinafter, the device 210 is also referred to as a software module 210. The hardware module 220 may include, for example, a field detection module, a sampling module, a coding/decoding module, an analog-to-digital conversion module, and other hardware modules of the NFC chip 200.

As shown in fig. 1, the method 100 may include some or all of the following steps.

In step 110, the software module 210 of the NFC chip 200 determines that an abnormality occurs in the NFC chip 200.

In step 120, the software module 210 controls the NFC chip 200 to enter a standby state (standby state), and restarts the hardware module 220 in which the abnormality occurs in the NFC chip 200 in the standby state.

In step 130, the software module 210 sets a wake-up source to wake up the NFC chip 200 from the standing-by state after a predetermined time.

In step 140, the software module 210 sends exception indication information to the master device 300.

The abnormality indication information is used to indicate that the NFC chip 200 is abnormal. The abnormal indication information may be carried in a notification or a message having a specific format agreed between the NFC chip 200 and the master device 300, for example.

Optionally, the abnormality indication information may also carry a reason why the NFC chip 200 is abnormal, and after the abnormality reason is reported to the main control device 300, a technician can conveniently obtain the abnormality reason, so as to improve the design of the NFC chip 200 in the following.

In step 150, the master device 300 receives the abnormality indication information,

in step 160, in response to the exception indication information, the master device 300 sends configuration parameters to the software module 210.

In step 160, the software module 210 receives the configuration parameters.

The configuration parameters may be carried in the NCI instruction of the master device 300, for example. By setting the configuration parameter, the NFC chip 200 can continue to perform near field communication according to the configuration parameter after waking up.

The configuration parameters may include, for example, at least one of the following parameters: an identifier of NFC (NFCID), a parameter for indicating NFC technology, a parameter for indicating a transmission rate or a frame length, and a Radio Frequency (RF) characteristic parameter of an antenna. NFC technologies include, for example, NFC technology a, technology B, NFC technology F, and the like, also referred to as mode or protocol information. These configuration parameters are used for the hardware module 220 to implement corresponding functions, thereby completing near field communication of the NFC chip 200. In practical protocols, these configuration parameters are carried by signaling, for example, by selecting information of a technology as a response (SKA), reply to a Select command (ATS), and so on.

Therefore, the NFC chip 200 reports its abnormal state through the abnormal indication information and reacquires the configuration parameters from the main control device 300, and at the same time, restarts the abnormal hardware module 220 in the standby state of the NFC chip 200, so that the NFC chip continues near field communication according to the configuration parameters after awakening from the standby state, without powering off and restarting the entire NFC chip 200, the NFC chip 200 can be restored to the state before the abnormality, and the process can make the user unaware, thereby greatly improving the user experience.

The method 100 is applied to an abnormal scene caused by non-hardware damage to solve the abnormality caused by the non-hardware damage of the NFC chip 200. Thus, in one implementation, prior to step 110, method 100 further comprises: and testing the hardware module 220 of the NFC chip 200, and determining that the hardware module 220 of the NFC chip 200 has no physical damage according to the test result.

For example, the antenna of the NFC chip 200 may be self-checked by simply sending a pulse waveform, so as to eliminate the influence of the antenna module on the NFC chip 200 and ensure that the hardware module 220 of the NFC chip 200 is not physically damaged before the NFC chip 200 interacts with the master device 300.

Typically, a state machine includes several state registers and associated combinational logic circuits. In this embodiment of the present application, whether an abnormality occurs in the NFC chip 200 may be determined by detecting a state register or a state machine of the NFC chip 200.

For example, in step 110, a status register of the NFC chip 200 may be detected, and when a value of the status register is different from an expected value, it may be determined that the NFC chip 200 is abnormal. Taking the example that the NFC chip 200 includes 8 registers, the NFC device 210 queries the values of the status registers before sending or receiving a command, and if the current expected values of the status registers are 11000000, respectively, and finds that the values of the status registers are not 11000000 after querying, it is considered that the NFC chip 200 is abnormal.

For another example, in step 110, a state machine of a hardware module of the NFC chip 200 may be detected, and when the state of the state machine is different from an expected state, it may be determined that the NFC chip 200 is abnormal. Taking three possible states of the NFC chip 200, i.e., the state S0, the state S1, and the state S2 as an example, the NFC device 210 queries the state of the state machine before sending or receiving a command, and if the current expected state of the state is assumed to be S0, and finds that the current state of the state machine is not S0 after querying, it is considered that the NFC chip 200 is abnormal.

Once it is determined that the NFC chip 200 is abnormal, a recovery process of the NFC chip 200 is entered, and steps 120 to 160 are performed, for example.

The NFC chip 200 supports a Low Power Mode (LPM), and the NFC chip 200 may implement a stand-by state in the low power mode. Thus, in one implementation, the method 100 further comprises: when it is determined that the NFC chip 200 is abnormal, the clock and the function that have been turned on in the NFC chip 200 are turned off, so that the NFC chip 200 enters the low power consumption mode, and the hardware module that is not abnormal in the NFC chip is controlled to enter an initial state, that is, an IDLE state.

In one implementation, in step 120, restarting, in the stand-by state, the hardware module 220 in which the exception occurs in the NFC chip 200 includes: the power supply of the hardware module 220 in which the abnormality occurs in the NFC chip 200 is reset, so that the hardware module 220 in which the abnormality occurs enters an initial state.

Specifically, before the NFC chip 200 enters the standing standby state, all the enabled clocks (timers) in the NFC chip 200 need to be actively turned off, and various functions of the NFC chip 200 need to be turned off, in preparation for entering the low power consumption mode, and then entering the standing standby state; meanwhile, the NFC chip needs to be set to an initial state. However, the hardware module 220 with the exception cannot be controlled by the software module 210 to enter the initial state, and therefore, a power reset operation needs to be performed in the standing-by state to reset the power of the hardware module 220 with the exception, so as to restore the hardware module 220 with the exception to the initial state. For example, the power domain associated with the abnormal hardware module 220 is rebooted, i.e., powered down and powered up, in the stand-by state.

In one implementation, before controlling the NFC chip 200 to enter the standing-by state, the method 100 further includes: the currently executing operation is completed, i.e. the software module 210 completes the currently executing statement. For example, for a real-time operating system (RTOS), the software module 210 finishes processing a message (message) or an event (event) currently being executed according to an original sequence, so as to avoid memory leakage.

After the NFC chip 200 enters the standing-by state and completes the power reset of the abnormal hardware module 220 in the standing-by state, it needs to wake up the abnormal hardware module from the standing-by state by using a wake-up source, and exit from the low power consumption mode.

Generally, the wake-up source can be implemented by setting a timer, detecting field intensity, receiving a wake-up message sent by the master control device through the communication interface, detecting level variation of a chip power supply, and the like.

The timer is a software timer in the NFC chip 200, and is configured with a timing duration, for example, 100 us, and the timer counts time and triggers the NFC chip 200 to wake up from the standing standby state after the timing duration is reached. The timer has the advantages of wide application scene, simplicity in operation, easiness in implementation and the like.

The wake-up mode for detecting the field strength is to trigger the NFC chip 200 to wake up from a standing standby state according to the field strength change of the RF signal. For example, when the field strength is detected to satisfy a predetermined condition, such as greater than a preset value, the NFC chip 200 is triggered to wake up from the standing-by state.

The wake-up mode for detecting the level change of the chip power supply means that the NFC chip 200 is triggered to wake up from a standing standby state according to the change of the power supply level of the NFC chip 200. For example, pulling up the power supply of the NFC chip 200, such as pulling up the voltage of the corresponding pin from 1.3-1.8V to 2.7-3.3V, triggers the NFC chip 200 to wake up from the standing-by state.

The NFC chip 200 may be connected to the host device 300 through a corresponding communication interface, for example, the NFC chip 200 is connected to the DH through an inter integrated circuit (I2C) communication interface, or connected to the SE through a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) communication interface, or connected to the UICC or the SIM card through a Single Wire Protocol (SWP) communication interface. Optionally, after determining that the NFC chip 200 is abnormal, the software module 210 may send a wake-up notification to the master device 300, for example, send the wake-up notification to the master device 300 when the NFC chip is about to enter the standing-by state; after receiving the wakeup notification, the main control device 300 sends a wakeup message to the NFC chip 200 after a predetermined time according to the wakeup notification, so as to wake up the NFC chip from the standing-by state. For different master devices, the wake-up message may be passed through different communication interfaces, for example, the wake-up message may be a message of an I2C communication interface sent by DH, a message of an SPI communication interface sent by SE, a message of an SWP communication interface sent by UICC or SIM card, a message of a GPIO communication interface sent by other readers and a gate guard, and the like.

A plurality of wake-up sources are usually configured in different devices, and for electronic devices such as a mobile phone, two wake-up sources are usually configured, for example, a wake-up source based on field strength detection and a wake-up source based on I2C interface information; for a security device, three wake-up sources are typically configured, such as a wake-up source based on field strength detection, a wake-up source based on SPI interface messages, a wake-up source based on SWP interface messages. These wake-up sources may also be used in the recovery flow of NFC chip 200.

In order to avoid the situation that a single wake-up source is abnormal and cannot wake up, a plurality of wake-up sources may be configured for the recovery process of the NFC chip 200. At this time, optionally, the wake-up sources may be executed in order from high priority to low priority; and if the priorities of the wake-up sources are the same, executing the wake-up sources according to a preset triggering sequence.

In this embodiment, after the NFC chip 200 is abnormal, the software module 210 sends the abnormal indication information to the main control device 300, and the active device 300 re-issues the configuration parameters for the NFC chip 200 based on the abnormal indication information, so as to configure the NFC chip 200 to the state before the abnormality. Therefore, optionally, before controlling the NFC chip 200 to enter the standing-by state, the method 200 may further include: configuration parameters used by the NFC chip 200 before the occurrence of the abnormality are cleared.

It should be understood that the configuration parameters re-issued by the master device 300 to the NFC chip 200 may be the same as the configuration parameters used before the NFC chip 200 enters the standing-by state; or, the configuration parameter re-issued by the main control device 300 to the NFC chip 200 may also be different from the configuration parameter used before the NFC chip 200 enters the standing standby state, for example, the configuration parameter may be adjusted according to an abnormal reason to obtain a new configuration parameter, and then issued to the NFC chip 200.

Optionally, the method 100 further comprises: after the NFC chip 200 wakes up from the standing-by state, the software module 210 clears all the state bits and data to prevent the existence of the residue in the previous clearing of the configuration parameters, thereby improving the reliability of the NFC system.

After the NFC chip 200 wakes up from the standing-by state and acquires the configuration parameters sent by the master device 300 under the trigger of the wake-up source, the NFC chip 200 may immediately continue the near field communication according to the configuration parameters, for example, for a CE device, after the NFC chip 200 wakes up successfully, the NFC chip may enter a discovery (discovery) procedure according to the configuration parameters, so that the CE device recovers the interaction procedure between the CE device and the RW device.

In one implementation manner, in step 160, the master device 300 sends the configuration parameters to the NFC chip 200, including: the protocol stack for near field communication is reset and the configuration parameters are sent after the protocol stack is reset. It should be noted that the master device 300 maintains a connection between the application and the service process of the near field communication in the process of resetting the protocol stack and transmitting the configuration parameters.

That is, after receiving the abnormality indication information, the master device 300 needs to reset the protocol stack for near field communication, that is, reset the protocols of the layers of the entire NFC network, and send the configuration parameters to the NFC chip 200 after resetting the protocol stack. In this process, the main control device 300 should maintain the connection between the application program and the service process of the nfc, i.e. not restart the running application program, so that the user does not feel that the application program in use is restarted.

The application does not set any limit on how the master device 300 maintains the connection between the application program of the near field communication and the service process. During the process of the master device 300 restarting, i.e., resetting, the protocol stack, the master device 300 may maintain the connection between the application and the service process based on any possible manner.

When the NFC chip 200 is abnormal, if the entire NFC chip 200 is powered off and restarted to recover its hardware state, a user may feel a sense of use break, and the application program being used must be restarted. In the near field communication method 100 of the present application, the nfc chip 200 only controls the abnormal hardware module 220 to power off and restart in the standby state, and sends the abnormal indication information to the main control device 300 to enable the main control device 300 to issue the configuration parameters for near field communication again for the main control device, so that the main control device 300 keeps the connection between the application program and the service process in the process, the current application process is not terminated, the application program being used by the user is not restarted, and the user only experiences the operation delay within a very short period of time, which greatly improves the user experience.

Hereinafter, a recovery process of the NFC chip 200 will be described in detail by taking the NFC chip 200 as an example of applying the NFC chip 200 to an RW device in conjunction with a possible flow interaction diagram shown in fig. 2. The flow is performed by the DH 300, the NFC chip 200 applied to the RW device, and the NFC chip 400 applied to the CE device, where the NFC chip 200 includes a software module 210 and a hardware module 220. As shown in fig. 2, the flow includes some or all of the following steps.

In step 401, the DH 300 sends configuration parameters to the software module 210 of the NFC chip 200.

The configuration parameters include, for example, RF feature parameters and NFC parameters (RF feature and NFC parameter) including, for example, NFCID, SAK, ATS, and the like.

In step 402, the DH 300 sends an RF discovery command (RF DISCOVER CMD) to the software module 210.

The RF discovery command is used to indicate that the NFC chip 200 of the RW device is in a discovery state, so that the NFC chip 400 of the CE device performs field detection to perform a discovery (discovery) procedure.

In step 403, the software module 210 sends an instruction to the hardware module 220 to turn on the RW (RW-up>A) mode based on the NFC technology up>A.

In step 404, communication is established between NFC chip 200 and NFC chip 400.

Here, assuming that the NFC chip 200 and the NFC chip 400 communicate with each other based on NFC technology a (type a), communication based on protocol layer 3 of technology a (Tech a layer-3 communication) is established between the NFC chip 200 and the NFC chip 300 in step 404.

In step 405, the hardware module 220 sends a corresponding reply message to the software module 210.

In step 406, software module 210 sends an RF activation notification to DH 300 (RF ACTIVATED NTF).

The RF activation notification is used to indicate that the RF field is activated, enabling near field communication between the RW device and the CE device based on the RF field.

In step 407, the DH 300 sends a communication instruction to the software module 210.

In step 408, the software module 210 sends a communication instruction to the hardware module 220.

In step 409, the hardware module 220 sends a communication instruction to the NFC chip 400.

The communication instruction in steps 407 to 409 is, for example, an RW-4 instruction (RW-4 command), which refers to all instructions for establishing communication of technology up>A based protocol layer 4 (Tech up>A layer-4 communication), or all instructions for establishing communication of technology up>A based Application Protocol Datup>A Unit (APDU) (Tech up>A APDU communication), and is also referred to as an RWA layer 4 instruction or an RW-up>A instruction.

In step 410, NFC chip 400 sends a corresponding reply message to hardware module 220.

In step 411, hardware module 220 sends the reply message to software module 210.

In step 412, the software module 210 sends the reply message to the DH 300.

If an abnormality, i.e., an abnormal position shown in fig. 2, occurs in the NFC chip 200 during the step 411, due to interference or the like, the subsequent steps 411 and 412 cannot be normally performed. Then DH 300 may perform step 413 because a corresponding reply message was not received.

In step 413, the DH 300 sends a command to deactivate NFC (inactive NFC) to the software module.

It should be understood that, whether the DH 300 performs step 413 or not, the software module 210 directly performs step 414 after detecting that the NFC chip 200 is abnormal.

In step 414, software module 210 sends an instruction to terminate NFC operation (abort NFC operation) to hardware module 220.

For example, the software module 210 completes the currently executed statement, turns off the turned-on clock and various functions, and prepares to enter the low power mode.

Of course, the abnormality may also occur in other locations, and in this case, the software module 210 directly performs step 414 after detecting that the NFC chip 200 is abnormal.

Next, in step 415, the configuration parameters of the hardware module 220, i.e. the configuration parameters obtained in step 401, are cleared.

In step 416, the software module 210 controls the hardware module 220 to enter a standby state and sets a wake up source (enter stub and enable timer source).

The software module 210 may control the hardware module 220 in the NFC chip 200 that is not abnormal to be in the initial state, and the abnormal hardware module 220 is not controlled by the initial state, so that the power domain associated with the abnormal hardware module 220 can only be restarted in the standby state, that is, the power is turned off and then the power is turned on, so that the abnormal hardware module 220 also enters the initial state.

In step 417, the NFC chip 200 wakes up from a standby timer source based on the wake-up source.

In step 418, the software module 210 sends an exception indication message, which may also be referred to as a RESET _ NTF, to the DH 300.

In step 419, the DH 300 restarts a protocol stack (reset android protocol stack).

Thereafter, the above steps, e.g., steps 401 through 405, may be re-executed to resume near field communication between the CE device and the RW device.

As can be seen, when detecting that the NFC chip 200 is abnormal, the software module 210 sends the abnormal indication information to the master control device 300, and controls the NFC chip 200 to enter the standby state, so as to restart the hardware module 220 in the NFC chip 200 that is abnormal in the standby state, and by setting the wakeup source, the NFC chip 200 is waken up from the standby state after a predetermined time. The main control device 300 re-issues the configuration parameters for near field communication to the NFC chip 200 in response to the abnormal indication information, so that the NFC chip 200 continues near field communication according to the configuration parameters after waking up.

Therefore, the NFC chip 200 reports the abnormal state thereof through the abnormal indication information and reacquires the configuration parameters from the master control device, and restarts the abnormal hardware module in the standing standby state of the NFC chip 200, so that the NFC chip continues to perform near field communication according to the configuration parameters after awakening from the standing standby state, and the whole NFC chip 200 is restarted without power failure, so that the NFC chip 200 can be restored to the state before the abnormality, and the process can make the user unaware, thereby greatly improving the user experience.
