Abstract: A piece of electronic equipment including a first subsystem such as a touch-sensitive tablet and a second subsystem such as a payment terminal. The first sub-system embeds a first operating system for managing the power consumption of the first subsystem. The second subsystem embeds a specific and secure operating system capable of executing payment transactions. Since the two subsystems execute two different operating systems, an operating state of one of the subsystems may not allow the required service to be implemented if this requires the use of resources implemented by both of the two subsystems. Thus the first and second subsystems exchange data relating to their respective operating state and, where appropriate, change their current operating state as a function of the data relating to an operating state of the other subsystem thus exchanged.

Abstract: In the field of payment terminals, a new generation of modular, function-rich payment terminals is appearing. Such smart payment terminals transmit, equally well, data relative to payment transactions and, for example, data relative to software updates. However, at present, a smart payment terminal in incapable of transmitting different data in accordance with their respective transmission constraints. This can represent a considerable cost for the merchant. A communications device is therefore provided to set up two connections simultaneously with two different gateways and thus be capable of exchanging data associated with different transmission parameters. Thus, the communications device can simultaneously transmit data relative to different types of services having distinct transmission parameters.
