Abstract

La présente invention concerne de nouveaux dispositifs adaptés pour communiquer avec des cartes mémoire mobiles. Le dispositif facilite le transfert de cartes mémoire mobiles en vue d'utiliser une carte mémoire mobile dans une application de carte à puce intelligente (une carte bancaire, par exemple), de placer la carte mémoire mobile dans un dispositif hôte (un téléphone cellulaire, par exemple), et de communiquer à partir d'un dispositif compatible USB (une interface utilisateur graphique solide sur un ordinateur personnel, par exemple). Un dispositif comprend un second ensemble de connecteurs d’un type nouveau qui procure une interface de carte à puce intelligente (ISO/IEC-7816, par exemple) à une carte mémoire mobile. Selon la présente invention, un dispositif pour carte à puce intelligente d'un type nouveau comprend un réceptacle prévu pour la carte mémoire mobile d'un type nouveau. Un autre dispositif comprend une interface sans contact. Un autre dispositif comprend par ailleurs une interface USB. Un autre dispositif constitue l'antenne bloquée d’un type nouveau qui offre une capacité sans contact qui peut être utilisée avec des dispositifs qui ne possèdent pas d'antenne comme, en particulier, une carte mémoire mobile microSD.
