DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS [0012] Specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth It will be apparent, however, that one or more aspects of the various embodiments can be Therefore, the following description is not to be considered as limiting,

1 is a schematic diagram of an application information providing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the application information providing apparatus may include an application list, where the application list stores application information, wherein the application information is provided by the application information providing apparatus from the security component SE and an application providing platform corresponding to the security component. Acquiring, wherein the application providing platform is configured to remotely issue an application to the SE, where the SE is coupled to the mobile communication device, where the application information includes an application name, a corresponding SE name, and application status information, and the application information The providing means is configured to provide the application information to the user based on the application list.

[0014] In this context, a security component (SE) refers to a stand-alone module with computing and storage functions that are designed with respective functions to protect the security of stored data and provide corresponding security mechanism services for use by external devices. SE can for example It includes an actual physical hardware carrier (entity SE) such as a SIM card or a smart SD card, and also includes a virtual carrier (virtual SE).

[0015] The application providing platform may be, for example, a TSM platform. Trusted Service Management (TSM) is a technology used to implement multiple applications on a single SE. In the prior art, the TSM platform is capable of remotely issuing various smart card applications and the like for users, that is, enabling users to download applications from the remote TSM platform to the SE.

[0016] The application information providing device can be set in the mobile communication device. In particular, the application information providing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention can be added as an application information providing module to an operating system of a mobile communication device, such as a secure operating system. Illustratively, the application information providing apparatus of the present invention can be used for a secure operating system using the TEEI security architecture of TRUSTZO E technology. In this example, the application information providing device can communicate with each SE in the mobile communication device and its corresponding TSM through the networking service provided by the TEEI, read the application information of the SE and the TSM, and record it in the application list for management. For example, when the security operating system starts the application information providing device, the application information providing device can communicate with the plurality of SEs and their corresponding background TSMs on the mobile communication device through the networking service provided by the TEEI, and add the application information provided by them to the application list. in.

[0017] In an embodiment of the present invention, the application information providing apparatus is further configured to be able to download an application from an application providing platform, install an application to a corresponding SE, or delete an application from the SE, and refresh the application list to reflect the latest Application status information. Thus, the user can perform operations on all SEs and corresponding application providing platforms (TSM platforms) using the application information providing device. For example, for a user to delete an application in an SE or download an application corresponding to the SE corresponding to the TSM platform, the user can directly operate through the application information providing device without re-entering the operation interface provided by the SE.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the application information providing apparatus further includes an application presentation template, and the application information providing apparatus is configured to present the application information according to the application presentation template. For example, an app presentation template can save some app display styles, users can choose their own app display style, or download other templates by network. The app list shows the app in a user-specified impression template.

[0019] In an embodiment of the present invention, the application information providing apparatus further includes a configuration information module, where the configuration information module is configured to store personal configuration data, where the personal configuration data is used to customize an application presentation rule, and the application presents Rules include the application's classification rules, collation, and applied display templates. For example, the application information providing device may be further configured to display the application according to the application classification, and may perform classification display according to the SE, function, application location, whether it has been downloaded, whether it is installed, whether it is updateable, or the like. By default, it is classified by SE. Similarly, the application information providing device may be further configured to display the application according to the sorting rule.

[0020] In an embodiment of the present invention, the application information providing apparatus may be further configured to be able to search for a specific application according to the application list. [0021] By way of example only, an application scenario in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention is described below.

[0022] When the user needs to download the micropayment application service (Appl) issued by a bank (SE1), the following steps can be performed by using the application information providing device:

Open the man-machine interface that can be used by the application information providing device, and select SE1 in the SE category;

Search for the app based on information such as the name of Appl;

View the details of Appl;

Ends if Appl is inside SE1 or the status is downloaded;

If Appl is on the TSM platform corresponding to SE1 or the status is downloadable, proceed to the next step;

If the user does not have the download permission, send a download request to the TSM background;

If the user has download rights, download directly.

[0023] Various changes and substitutions of the specific embodiments of the present invention can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention. Such changes and substitutions are intended to fall within the scope of the appended claims.
