  • Patent number: 9357340
    Abstract: The invention is a method of configuring a device and a wireless unit. The device is able to operate in tag mode and in wireless reader mode. The wireless unit is able to operate in wireless reader mode and in a card emulation mode. The method comprises the steps of: reading a setting data into the device running in tag mode, the setting data corresponding to a first configuration and being read by the wireless unit which operates in wireless reader mode, activating the first configuration in the unit, writing an acknowledgment data into the device and switching the unit to the card emulation mode, switching the device to the wireless reader mode when the presence of the acknowledgment data is detected in the device.

  • Patent number: 8849923
    Abstract: In order to broadcast a commercial content corresponding to the centers of interest of a user of a communicating object, the disclosed method involves generating a message including at least one piece of commercial content associated with at least one piece of meta-information characterising the subject concerned by the commercial content. The method is implemented by the object for extracting a piece of commercial content from the message only if the piece of meta-information of the content corresponds to a piece of meta-information characterising a center of interest of the user.

  • 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.

  • Patent number: 8335537
    Abstract: The invention is a method of managing an application embedded in a telecom device. The telecom device comprises a SIM card and a Push Registry as defined by the Mobile Information Device Profile® specifications. The application is intended to be registered in the Push Registry by defining a specific inbound connection associated to the application. The SIM card requires a local connection on the specific inbound connection for activating the application and for establishing a local communication channel between the SIM card and the application.
