Abstract: A system for using a dynamic temporary credential with a portable communication device for use in a transaction with an electronic control point (e.g. point of sale, NFC access point) wherein the portable communication device has a geo-location module (e.g. GPS). The system has a centralized module that receives the portable communication device's current geo-location and transmits the dynamic temporary credential to the portable communication device and provides predictive transaction information—including the dynamic temporary credential and portable communication device's geo-location—to an authorization system operably associated with the electronic control point. The dynamic temporary credential has a predetermined time to live, which allows for the recycling of the dynamic credential, such recycling may take into account the geo-location for which the credential has been recently issued. A method for using a dynamic temporary credential with a portable communication device is also disclosed.

Abstract: A system for presentation of multiple NFC credentials via an NFC baseband in a portable communication device during a single NFC transaction. The system comprises a secure element having a directory of available NFC credentials stored therein, wherein the ordering of the available NFC credentials usually indicates the priority. The system further comprises a pre-determined multiple-credential start Application ID (AID) wherein the directory includes a plurality of NFC credentials after the pre-determined multiple-credential start AID. A method for presenting multiple NFC credentials during a single NFC transaction is also disclosed.

Abstract: This invention involves, in part, a system for automatically selecting a credential among a plurality of credentials on a portable communication device based on a geo-location of the portable communication device and based on a user preference, for use in an electronic wallet transaction. The system includes a geo-location device configured to detect the geo-location of the portable communication device; a location identification service unit configured to be activated by a pre-determined user input, and configured to determine a merchant where the portable communication device is most likely to be located based on said geo-location; means for storing preferences corresponding to the plurality of credentials; and means for automatically determining which of the plurality of credentials to use for the electronic wallet transaction based on the preferences.

Abstract: The present invention involves a system for storing one or more passwords on a portable communication device having a secured element and a user interface, the system comprising memory associated with the secure element; a card management module operably associated with the portable communication device and with the secure element capable of controlling the secured element to facilitate writing to and reading from the memory; a graphical user interface operably connected via the user interface of the portable communication device with the card management module, the graphical user interface providing for input of the one or more passwords into the memory via the card management module and for viewing the one or more passwords so stored in the memory.

Abstract: Disclosed is as system and method for automatically selecting a credential among a plurality of credentials on a portable communication device based on a geo-location of the portable communication device and based on a user preference, for use in an electronic wallet transaction. The system includes a geo-location device configured to detect the geo-location of the portable communication device; a location identification service unit configured to be activated by a pre-determined user input, and configured to determine a merchant where the portable communication device is most likely to be located based on said geo-location, a storage means for storing preferences corresponding to the plurality of credentials; and means for automatically determining which of the plurality of credentials to use for the electronic wallet transaction based on the preferences.

Abstract: A system for dynamically adjusting the contactless data emulation used by a portable communication device based on its geo-location. The system determines a geo-location of the portable communication device by transmitting the current geo-location data using a most appropriate channel to a server; receiving data regarding payment systems potentially co-located with the portable communication device; and configuring a payment system in the portable communication device with the data formats and other contact-less point of sale data specific to payment system potentially co-located with the device. A method for dynamically adjusting the contactless data emulation used by a portable communication device based on its geo-location is also disclosed.

Abstract: A system for providing an application associated with a portable communication device the ability to communicate via a secure element. The system has a digital identifier and digital token operably associated with the application; a card services module that provides an application programming interface to the secure element; and a secure data table associated with the card services module. The secure data table includes a list of trusted applications each identifiable by paired digital identifier and token. The card services module [includes] compares the identifier and the token with each of the identifier-token pairs in the table until a match indicates the application is trusted. The card services module issues commands to the secure element based on an action requested by a trusted application in conjunction with the presentation of the digital token. A method of providing an application with the ability to communicate via secure element is also disclosed.

Abstract: A system and method for remotely diagnosing a failure in a mobile transaction is disclosed. The system includes a portable communication device having a diagnostics agent configured to transmit the communication device's unique identification number and present status over a mobile network. The system further includes a retailer subsystem in short proximity communication with the communication device, and a remote system management back end in wireless communication with both the communication devices and the retailer subsystem. The system management back end has a diagnostics management system configured to receive failure data and RF presence data from the portable communication device, and to diagnose the failure based on such data. The system also includes a mobile network in communication with the system management back end, via which the diagnosis and hopefully a solution are wirelessly transmitted to the end user.

Abstract: A system for providing first and second trusted applications diverse permission to communicate via a secure element. The system comprising first digital identifier and digital token operably associated with the first trusted application; a second digital identifier and digital token operably associated with the second trusted application. The system further includes a card services module that provides an application programming interface to the secure element supported by a secure data table including first and second sets of permissions. The card services module issues one or more commands to the secure element based on a first action requested by the first trusted application in conjunction with the presentation of the first digital token only if the one or more commands will not violate the first set of permissions. A method is also disclosed.
