  • Patent number: 11445337
    Abstract: A method of communicating between a terminal device and a back-end system assigned to the terminal device, the terminal device receives via a direct wireless communication link an authorization code from the mobile communication device. Responsive to receiving the authorization code, the terminal device transmits via the direct wireless communication link to the mobile communication device a terminal report message which includes a message content part and a message addressing part. The mobile communication device transmits the terminal report message in a forwarding message via a telecommunications network to a remote message processing system determined by the addressing part. The remote message processing system determines from the addressing part the back-end system assigned to the electronic terminal device and transfers the content part of the terminal report message to the back-end system.

  • Patent number: 9715586
    Abstract: For controlling access rights between a read/write device (1) and a transponder module (2) configured to exchange data via an electromagnetic field (3), the read/write device (1) obtains via the electromagnetic field (3) from the transponder module (2) a technology release code (T) which indicates a version of technology of the transponder module (2). Subsequently, the read/write device (1) sets access rights for the transponder module (2) using the technology release code (T). Setting access rights based on a technology release code (T) obtained from a transponder module (2) makes it possible to block transponder modules (2) selectively, depending on their inherent technology release, so that transponder modules (2) with a technology release that is without a security breach may remain in operation whereas transponder modules (2) with a technology release having a compromised security can be blocked from access.

  • Patent number: 9483417
    Abstract: A mobile electronic device (1) comprises a data store (11), a transceiver (13) for wireless data exchange with another electronic device (2), and a processor (12) connected to the transceiver (13) and the data store (11). The processor (12) is programmed to implement a virtual card reader (121) which is configured to communicate with a smart card module (122, 20) that is arranged in the mobile electronic device (1). The virtual card reader (121) is implemented as a program running on processor (12). At least one smart card module (122) is a virtual card implemented as a program running on the processor (12). The virtual card reader (121) makes it possible to access smart card modules which are implemented locally in the mobile electronic device as a virtual card, thereby enabling access to a smart card module, without requiring an external reader device.

  • Patent number: 8554795
    Abstract: A method of writing data into identification media of various types (IM-X, IM-Y) via assigned write/read stations WR in accordance with an embodiment of the present application includes a step wherein, a virtual, identification media-independent reference file system RFS is defined. All access keys RKi are replaced by a file system key FSK and all access rights ACi of subsections Bi are suspended and a file system FS, corresponding to the reference file system RFS, is initialized or written into the identification media: (FS(IM-X), FS(IM-Y)). In doing so, a file system starting point (FS-S(IM-X), FS-S(IM-Y)) is defined in the identification media (IM(FS) and in the assigned read/write stations WR(RFS) so that applications (App(RFS) corresponding to the virtual reference file system RFS can be written into the identification media and executed.

  • Patent number: 8390427
    Abstract: A reader device in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure includes an antenna connected electrically to a processing unit through an antenna connection element. The processing unit controls are configured to read data from a transponder module via an electromagnetic field. The reader device includes a user interface unit which is connected to the processing unit through the connection element and includes a data output part and/or a data input part. The data output part receives via the connection element reader data from the processing unit and outputs this data. The data input part receives via a data entry element user data and transmits this data via the connection element to the processing unit. Thus, user authentication data can be entered by the user and transmitted to the processing unit without the need for additional wiring between the user interface and the processing unit.
