Abstract: This invention relates to a method and a system to automatically generate mobile device software applications, where each one is differently personalized in terms of security parameters and/or obfuscation rules, by using a set of input registries from a first entity, each input registry containing at least a unique identifier and is used to generate an output personalization registry, that is different than another output registry. A second entity uses at least part of the data of the output registry, a generic replica of the mobile device software application and obfuscation software to generate a protected mobile software application that is associated to the output registry and to the at least one unique identifier. A user requests a replica of the mobile software application to the first entity and a protected mobile software application is downloaded to a user mobile device.

Abstract: A method for mobile contactless ticketing/payment using an application available in a mobile phone; and a system, server, and mobile phone suitable for carrying out such a method.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for monitoring the presence of a mobile device in at least one special area, wherein a radio communication defining device transmits a radio distinctive defining signal that defines the special area by its coverage. The mobile device processes signals received to determine whether or not the signals are a distinctive defining signal that at least partially defines the special area. Upon a determination that the mobile device is in a special area the mobile device sends an updating signal to a special operating means of a provider of presence related services via a mobile telephone network, the special operating means adapts the value of one or more operating parameter in response to receiving the updating signal. The mobile device also generates a One-Time-Password (OTP) calculated based on information in the distinctive defining signal and sends the OTP to a server of the provider of presence related services.

Abstract: Method for monitoring the presence of a mobile station (200) in at least one special area (203, 203b), wherein a radio communication defining device (212, 212b) transmits one radio distinctive defining signal (214, 214b) that defines the special area by its coverage, the mobile station processes a signal received in order to determine whether or not it is a defining signal and more precisely a distinctive one that defines the special area, the mobile station sends an updating signal to a mobile telephone network, the network routes the updating signal to special operating means that adapt the value of an operating parameter. According to the invention, the special area is associated to the mobile station by transmitting to the mobile station a checking data used by the mobile station for determining whether or not the defining signal received is a distinctive defining signal.

Abstract: A ternary card assembly is provided that includes a detachable smart card, a detachable information tab, and a disposable carrier card, which are connected by breakaway links. The smart card and the information tab may be connected to one another directly or indirectly through an intermediate element. The information tab may include one or more panels that are elastically displaceable from the plane of the information tab to render the information tab useful in different ways. A payload set is also provided, which includes a smart card and an information tab, which is detachably connected to only a part of the smart card's perimeter. Also provided are methods of preparing a smart card for use and for customizing a smart card.
