Abstract: A method and device for controlling the execution of at least one function in a short-range wireless communication module of a mobile apparatus adapted for receiving at least one identification card. After transmitting an information request to the identification card, to obtain at least one piece of information characteristic of the identification card, an answer including at least one piece of information characteristic of the identification card is received therefrom. When the answer is identified and in response to the at least one piece of information, the at least one function is executed. An authentication request is received by the short-range wireless communication module. If the answer is authenticated, the short-range wireless communication module sends an authorization to the authentication request in response to the at least one piece of information characteristic of the identification card before the execution of the at least one function.

Abstract: The invention concerns a portable electronic transfer device using a near-field wireless communication module and a method of using it. The device includes an element for entering an amount and an acceptance command so that a debitor can enter their personal identification number on their portable device and not on that of a third party. If the acceptance command is authenticated, a secure message containing the amount is sent via the near-field wireless communication module to a creditor. The creditor can then add their references to the message and send it to effect the transaction. Alternatively, the creditor sends their references to the debitor via the near-field wireless communication module and the debitor can formulate a transaction request including the amount and the references of the creditor.
