Abstract: The invention relates to a score recording terminal (10) for handling golf score data, and a method for implementing such a terminal. Several score recording terminals are located at certain points on a golf course, and each terminal is adapted to be operated by a golf player by means of a personal smart card (20) during play. The terminal comprises a keypad (12) for the entry of input data from the golf player, a smart card reader (13) for communication with the player's smart card (20), a memory (17) for storage of data (171) and an executable program code (172), and a microprocessor (14). The program code is designed to cause the processor to read score data from the smart card (20), to receive input data from the keypad (12), to calculate new score data on the basis of the received score data and the received input data, and to deliver the new score data back to the smart card (20).

Abstract: The present invention relates to multi-application, secure operating systems for small, secure devices, such as smart card microcontrollers. In particular, the present invention relates to mechanisms for secure runtime upload of applications onto small devices, authorisation mechanisms and the ability for authorised execution of multiple applications on the devices, where an application may be potentially larger than the microcontroller memory size. The mechanism simplifies life-cycle smart card management aspects related to post-issuance application (“applet”) upload and upgrade. Mechanisms to prepare applications (i.e. compiler techniques) using a common set of project files in one compiler toolset, for execution in a dual host & chip processor environment are described. These help automising the programming of the communication interfaces between the host and chip applications.
