  • Patent number: 9843933
    Abstract: A method of accessing, in a mobile communication device, an application issued by a Service Provider from a trusted application, also known as a wallet. A secure element, such as a SmartMX device, comprises a service manager that manages the application and a link between the application and an application-codec issued by the Service Provider, wherein the application-codec is designed for interfacing between the service manager and the application, for processing an access request requesting access to the application received from the service manager and, triggered by the wallet, accessing the application via the service manager by means of the link between the application and the application-codec, such that the application-codec linked with the respective application performs accessing the application under control of the service manager.

  • Patent number: 9016561
    Abstract: A method for server-based managing of unique memory device identifications, such as serial numbers, of memory devices having unique memory device identifications, such as emulated MIFARE devices like SmartMX cards, which memory devices are arranged in mobile communication devices, comprises keeping a repository (DB) of available memory device identifications; fetching a memory device identification from the repository and sending it to a specific mobile communication device; and instructing the mobile communication device to change the memory device identification of its associated memory device from its present value to the received new value. Further, the server instructs the mobile communication device to return the previous value of the memory device identification of its associated memory device. Finally, the server will add the returned memory device identification value to the repository of memory device identifications.
