The application providing server 105 provides the terminal 110 with various (or all) applications that can be provided to any client 100 and stored in a database located inside or outside the terminal 110 in accordance with the present invention. do. In addition, the application providing server 105 generates a code for a service application requested or selected by the client 100 and mounts the code on the chip card of the application request client 100.

The application code is stored in an EEPROM (Electrically Erasable and Programmable Read Only Memory) or a flash memory in the chip card, and selectively reads, adds, changes, and deletes data and information.

In addition, the application code includes identification information for identifying a corresponding application.

Since the application code mounted on the chip card of the client 100 has a considerably smaller capacity than the corresponding actual application, the application code is loaded more than the number of actual applications loaded on the chip card of the client 100. As it becomes possible, the client 100 can actually utilize a much wider variety of applications.

According to the present invention, the terminal 110 receives and stores applications corresponding to the application code of the client 100 from the application providing server 105, and is mounted in the card when the chip card of the client 100 is used. Check the corresponding application code to see if the corresponding application exists, and if so, execute the application.

For the process, the terminal 110 is provided with a CAD (Card Acceptance Device) for the hardware connection with the chip card to communicate through the APDU packet.

The CAD transmits the APDU packet corresponding to the card command from the merchant terminal 110 to the client 100 chip card, and transmits the APDU packet corresponding to the response to the card command from the chip card to the terminal 110. As a device for connecting the chip card and the terminal 110 through, basically the communication path between the chip card and the terminal 110 is made of a half-duplex method.

In addition, the application database linked to the inside or outside of the terminal 110 is a database in which at least one or more applications corresponding to at least one or more application codes mounted in the application area of the client 100 chip card are stored. According to the present invention, due to the storage capacity limitation of the client 100 chip card, the application providing server 105 provides the application code for the corresponding application to be provided and mounted on the client 100 chip card, and correspondingly The application is all contained in the database.

In addition, when using the wireless terminal having the client 100 chip card function, the terminal 110 has an appropriate interface to enable various data communication with the wireless terminal. (RF, Infrared, Bluetooth, Wireless LAN, etc.)

In addition, the communication between the terminal 110 and the application providing server 105 is confidentiality, authentication, integrity (Integrity) for communication by a security system such as a public key infrastructure (Public Key Infrastructure). And security systems such as nonrepudiation apply.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, and in the following description, for the purpose of describing the embodiments of the present invention, specific details such as specific elements are shown, which is illustrated in FIG. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details only as provided to aid a more general understanding of the invention.

Download it to your computer.

The merchant terminal 110 receives and stores an application from a card company server 105, and extracts an application code mounted on the chip card when the client 100 uses the chip card. Ensure that you apply the appropriate application from the application database.

As an example to help understand the present invention, when the client 100 requests a merchant discount coupon or the like to the card company server 105, the card company server 105 actually mounts the related application on the chip card of the client 100. Rather than generating a coupon application code corresponding to the coupon application requested by the client and mounting the generated coupon application code on the chip card of the client 100, the client 100 uses the card, The merchant terminal 110 checks the coupon application code mounted on the chip card, and loads and applies the corresponding coupon application from the database. Accordingly, the client 100 may mount only a code having a relatively small capacity compared to an actual application, and thus may use a wider variety of service applications than a conventional chip card storage capacity.
