  • Patent number: 10430177
    Abstract: The invention is a method of updating a first executable code comprised in a first package in a secure element, a class instance being instantiated from said first package and comprising instance data. The method comprises the following steps: loading in the secure element an upgrade file comprising a second executable code and creating a second package from said upgrade file, changing said first executable code for said second executable code by replacing a reference to the first package by a reference to the second package in a package list stored in the secure element, while leaving the class instance alive and said instance data unchanged.

  • Patent number: 10409588
    Abstract: The invention is a method of managing an object which is represented by a first instance of a class. The first instance is stored in a secure element comprising an initial operating system. The method comprises a step of updating the initial operating system to generate an updated operating system, a step of creating a metadata uniquely associated with the object, said metadata being permanently stored in the secure element and comprising a value of a parameter of said class which has been used to create said first instance. The method comprises a step of re-instantiating the object by generating an updated instance of the class in the updated operating system by using said value to set said parameter of the class, said updated instance representing the object. The re-instantiating step is automatically triggered by the step of updating the initial operating system.

  • Patent number: 8602314
    Abstract: An adapter device for connecting a memory card to a host. The adapter having a primary connector to be connected with the host taking up the adapter device and a secondary connector to take up the memory card. An interrupter of the adapter is connected to the primary connector and to the secondary connector. A device interface circuit connected to the primary connector controls the opening and closing of the interrupter depending on the commands received by the first connector, wherein the device interface circuit is configured so that if the primary connector receives a command from the host that is not related to the memory card, the device interface circuit opens the interrupter after the command has passed.
