Patent number: 10448240Abstract: The invention relates to a method of communicating data with an electronic device, comprising the step of receiving signals conveyed by an electrical lead. The method is distinguished in that it comprises the following steps: fitting an RF radiofrequency interface with electrical terminals in the device, extracting signals from the electrical lead, and injecting signals resulting from the extracted signals, in the form of frames of radiofrequency signals in the RF interface with electrical terminals. The invention also relates to a radiofrequency communication device, a system comprising the device and a machine using the device.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2017Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: THALES DIS FRANCE SAInventors: Jean-Paul Caruana, Gregory Capomaggio

Patent number: 10146967Abstract: The present invention concerns a method of radio-frequency communication between a contactless transponder and a reader, in which at least one sideband of the carrier frequency is used for communicating a response from the transponder by modulation of the amplitude of this carrier frequency. The method is distinguished in that the modulation at least partly applies a modulation level greater than 100%, which causes a negative modulation. The invention also concerns a corresponding communication circuit.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2012Date of Patent: December 4, 2018Assignee: GEMALTO SAInventors: Jean-Paul Caruana, Grégory Capomaggio, Christophe Buton

Wireless communication device and method for transmission of services with different security levels
Patent number: 9642096Abstract: A communication device comprises an RF interface (20) and a CPU (10). The RF interface (20) has a physical channel PhCh to exchange radio messages on a wireless network. The physical channel PhCh is coupled with at least two logical channels LCi. The CPU (10) is connected to the RF interface (20) to provide at least two services Si on the wireless network. Each service Si is associated with a logical channel LCi of the RF interface (20). The CPU (10) associates a transmission parameter Pi with each service Si and sends the said transmission parameter Pi to the logical channel LCi associated with the service Si. The RF interface (20) configures the physical channel PhCh on the basis of the transmission parameter Pi depending on the logical channel LCi under transmission.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2008Date of Patent: May 2, 2017Assignee: GEMALTO SAInventor: Gregory Capomaggio -
