Application modules 141-149 represent software functions configured for execution by the device functions or processor 100. In the most well known portable devices, a single processor manages and controls all device functions and software applications as well as all operations of the portable device. Such a concept is applicable to today's portable devices.

A typical processing apparatus includes a number of integrated circuits that perform other tasks. Such integrated circuits may include, in particular, microprocessors, memory, universal asynchronous receiver-transmitters (UARTs), serial / parallel ports, direct memory access (DMA) controls, and the like. Universal Asynchronous Transceiver (UART) translates between parallel and serial bits of data. Recent advances in semiconductor technology that have resulted in very high-large-scale integration (VLSI) have enabled significant growth in complexity and integrating numerous components of a system on a single chip. It was. Referring to FIG. 1, one or more of their components, such as controls 130 and 160, memory components 150 and 140, and one or more interfaces 200, 180, and 110 ) May be integrated with the processor 100 on a single chip.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the device 10 may include two microprocessors. The first one can operate functional or traditional logic respectively, and the other one can operate NFC interface 101 and secure smart card module 102. NFC logic including the additional processor for control may be implemented as a functional cover providing an NFC communication interface. Furthermore, according to the present invention, the smart card module 102 and the SIM card module 210 may be identical, which means that the two modules are combined.

According to the present invention, the portable device 10 includes an NFC module 101 and a smart card module 102. These modules may interact with each other and may be further controlled by the portable device controller 100. The smart card module can be expected to include a CPU or the like, thereby preventing interaction with the portable device CPU 100. Such operations may be required for sensitive applications, in which case all data processing and processing must be performed in a tamperproof environment. Therefore, the NFC module 101 connects to the portable device CPU 100 and / or transmits all received data to the smart card module 102 directly without notification to the user of the portable device 10. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the provided initiation table is stored in the memory module 140 of the device 10, and the CPU 100 or the smart card module CPU may receive information related to the provided table.

2 shows an operational sequence of the method according to the invention. In operation S200, the operation sequence may be started. The start operation S200 may be caused by a user input or other events. The event may correspond to exceeding or similar to a predetermined threshold. The event can also be expected to respond to values below the threshold. For example, if the device 10 has a temperature sensor and the temperature is above 25 degrees, a sensor event is detected. However, according to similar events, the operation sequence can be started, which is obvious to those skilled in the art.

As illustrated in operation S210 of FIG. 2, in the portable device 10, the CPU 100 will maintain a provided application start table. In a next operation S220, sensing of the second device will be provided. The second device is provided to be able to communicate with the first device 10 based on a unidirectional or bidirectional communication link. Therefore, both devices can be expected to initiate P2P communication including two-way data processing.

In a next operation S230, determining a specific parameter related to the second device is provided. The identification parameters or specific parameters may correspond to a data type or a recording type included in the second device. The data type may additionally be used to determine which application should be launched. If the second device corresponds to an RFID tag, the information in the tag includes an NTIP type. Therefore, the data structure in the tag is now known and can be used to control the operation of the portable device 10 according to the invention.

As such, the information received from the second device may correspond to the NTIP type of the second device and may further be used as a criterion for searching the provided initiation table.

In a next operation step (S240), a specific application may be started or started. However, it depends on the information received from the second device used to retrieve the provided table. If at least one match is found, the corresponding application is started and the sequence of operations reaches an end operation S290. If, for example, another second device is detected, the operation sequence resumes in response to a new iteration symbolized by a direct connection between the end operation S290 and the start operation S200.

In summary, when an application is initially initialized by the terminal, it may contain a prespecified rule to be written to a particular cell in the provided initiation table. Furthermore, when the terminal encounters a new tag type or the like, the appropriate application can be written to the table, and the initiation table can be updated continuously after the initial setting.

The subsequent use case uses, for example, an application identifier (AID) defined in the ISO 7816-5 standard received from the second device to determine what kind and which application should be started. This means that AID can be used to retrieve the provided table. In this exemplary use case, the second device corresponds to, for example, but is not limited to, a PoS terminal. First the first portable terminal is moved near the force terminal and the force terminal attempts to select an application, for example in the secure smart card module.

The first portable device can now process communicating ISO 14443-3 and / or ISO 7816 over the point where the force sends the select command. The selection command includes an application identifier (AID). In such embodiments, one would expect these applications to be stored and executed on a secure smart card. Such information may be included in the tables provided above according to the invention. After identifying which application has a problem, the secure smart card module can now be activated to communicate with the Pos. It is also possible to deactivate the module. Typically this kind of application is a user interface for querying the content of a smart card or a user interface used to play branded sounds and / or display a brand logo.

3 illustrates one embodiment of a provided application launch table according to the present invention. The table constitutes at least two dimensions (two-dimensional chart), which dimensions can be defined as "NTIP type" and "tag type".

"NTIP type" may indicate the type of one or more tag records (eg, data records stored in the tag's memory) in a tag. In other words, the NTIP type allows the tag reader to indicate what kind of data is included in the tag. According to this information, the tag reproducing apparatus can determine whether the data of the tag is important (whether to read all data records or whether to delete the tag only based on NTIP type information). However, according to embodiments of the present invention, such information may be used as one parameter for triggering / initiating application launch.

The second element in the table may be a "tag type", which indicates the physical type of the tag. That is, what kind of tag is involved (Mifare Ultralight, Mifare 1k, Mifare 4k, or ISO 14443-4 tag for example), or whether there is another NFC device as a corresponding device. In general, different tag types require different readers, but since the NFC device can communicate in essentially various tag types, according to embodiments of the present invention, the tag type may be used to select an appropriate application for initiation. Can be used as an additional parameter. As an example, a Mifare ultralight tag with a "other" NTIP type may require a Mifare 4k tag with a "other" NTIP type to launch another application.

However, as an additional dimension, any peripheral sensing can be included in the application launch. For example, when an RFID tag is read at less than 5 degrees and more than 25 degrees, the application to be launched may be different (below 5 degrees, the application may be a "normal" operation of the temperature sensing application to be sent to the central server, and Exceeding 25 degrees may involve an alert application being initiated).

Furthermore, it should be appreciated that a single cell in the initiation table may be related to two or even more applications, other additional parameters may be included, for example, to add something like a delay to the application initiation.

4 schematically illustrates the interaction of a portable device with certain exemplary external devices and / or events in accordance with the present invention. The portable terminal device may be applied to detect a plurality of events and / or devices by the adjacent magnetic field communication module 45. The module 45 is short for example a sensor, an NFC module or the like. The sensor may be a camera or microphone or another optical instrument or the like.

Although the provided application launch table 42 may be maintained by the portable device CPU 100 in the device, other embodiments are also possible. Therefore, depending on the data received from the outer group entity 58, a search for the application table 42 may be provided by the CPU. According to embodiments of the invention, external group entities may be active and passive RFID tags, such as a POS terminal such as a vending machine for issuing various electronic tickets or reading issued electronic tickets, or an NFC communication interface. It may include other portable devices having a. It should also be appreciated that other types of device areas are possible.

Furthermore, manual control and maintenance of the application table 42 is possible. This allows the user to form the application launch table provided when he first received the portable device 10. Automatic updates of the table 42 may also be provided within the scope of the present invention.

Yet another embodiment of the present invention provides a security smart card element of a terminal device and an event corresponding to triggering an application based on the active application (application table 42) shown in FIG. 5 in another embodiment aspect of the present invention. Allow more direct coupling between senses).

In such embodiments, the portable device 10 may be adapted to provide P2P based data communication or transactions. All data 58 provided from the second device may be sent by the NFC module 101 via the antenna 55 to the portable device CPU 100 or directly to the secure smart card module 102.

It is also possible for both the module CPU 100 and the smart card module 102 to receive data 58. Those skilled in the art can implement other structures of data communication within the scope of the present invention.

In general, upon detecting the presence of an external RF source, the corresponding application is initiated based on the detected tag information using the provided application table 42. After initiating the appropriate application, the terminal control may refer to the access right to the information requested by the external source. If the information is related to a secure smart card element but some access rights are provided to the control unit (some security applications may be too sensitive to the user (eg transaction / credit card specific / details) the terminal control unit Even the control can operate to operate during the initial stages of a transaction to gather basic information about that transaction.

When an external source needs sensitive information, communication is passed to the secure smart card element 102, which performs the actual transaction, but now the controller 100 holds some information according to the actual processing and is involved in the transaction performed. You can ask for information. As an example, when a bus ticket is purchased, the control may be involved in the initial stages of processing, when sensitive information is requested, the transaction may be delivered to a secure smart card element, and after the transaction is performed (the bus ticket is Recorded in the secure smart card element 102), the terminal control may use the available information (bus ticket processing and successful processing) to provide the user with any indication that the bus ticket has been purchased.

5 symbolizes the steps mentioned above with reference to numerals I, II, and III. This means that in the first step (I), the NFC module 101 can deliver the received information to the CPU 100 and the CPU determines which application should be started based on the received information 58. The link between the information and the particular application is defined in the provided application launch table 42. In a next step (III), the CPU may start an application on the device 10 or, depending on the table entry, the CPU 10 terminates the connection to the NFC module and the secure smart card module in the smart card module 102. Anti-tempering data processing can be processed.
