Patents by Inventor Laurent Degauque

Laurent Degauque has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8843065
    Abstract: The device may include a contactless element and a set of least two auxiliary elements. Each auxiliary element may include a slave SWP interface connected to a same master SWP interface of the contactless element through a SWP link, and a management module configured for activating at once only one slave SWP interface on the SWP link.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 26, 2011

  • Patent number: 7789313
    Abstract: An intelligent portable object has a dual interface and is equipped with a chip and is suitable for communicating with at least one electronic data transmission terminal via a contact interface according to standard ISO7816.3 and likewise without contact via a contactless interface and according to another contactless standard; a transition causing a variation of at least one status for the object. At least one information step, for example in real time, of the chip restituting variations in status, with at least a logical phase forming a supply controller, which ensure a configuration/information allowing a fully simultaneous functioning of applications resorting to the contact and/or contactless interface.

  • Publication number: 20080048042
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for creating immunity to the variations in resources of a portable object comprising a processor block, and at least two communication and/or supply interfaces with and/or without contact. Said method comprises at least one step for controlling the availability state of at least one resource on one of the interfaces, and a resource selection step. The inventive method is characterised in that it comprises the following steps according to which an interruption signal is generated towards the processor block during a variation in the availability of the resource, and the processor treats the interruption signal in order to enable a selection of resources. The invention also relates to the associated portable object.

  • Publication number: 20070164118
    Abstract: The invention relates to the operational maintenance of an intelligent portable object (1) which is provided with a processing unit (6) having at least two communication and/or feed interfaces either with or without contacts. The method comprises a reinitialization step (MaZ) for the processing unit (6). The method is characterized in that it comprises at least one delay and/or reinitialization simulation step if a communication or application is in the process of being processed by the processing unit. The invention also relates to an associated device.
