  • Method, a system and a microcontroller card for communicating application services from a microcontroller card to a terminal
    Patent number: 8550341
    Abstract: A method wherein at least one service of an application stored in a microcontroller card is communicated to a terminal. The terminal transmits a command identifying the selected application to the card immediately after selecting the application. In order to reduce in the card the time for accessing the application service data by the terminal, a reply generator in the card selects the active services related to the application in the card in response to the command, and dynamically establishes a list of data identifying these services, to transmit a reply message including the identification data from the card to the terminal. A reply analyzer in the terminal analyzes the identification data of the reply message to communicate the at least one service of the application identified by the identification data.
