Abstract
Devices and methods for configuration of a mobile terminal including a near-field communication device and a radio communication device separate from the near-field communication device are provided. One such method includes determining, by the radio communication device, an identifier of a wireless local network within a range of the mobile terminal. The method further includes selecting, from a configuration table, at least one configuration parameter of a plurality of sets of configuration parameters of the near-field communication device according to the identifier, and applying the at least one configuration parameter to the near-field communication device.
Claims22
A method of configuration of a mobile terminal, the method comprising:
- determining, by a radio communication device of a mobile terminal, an identifier of a wireless local network within a range of the mobile terminal, the mobile terminal including a near-field communication device and the radio communication device within the mobile terminal, the radio communication device being separate from the near-field communication device, the wireless local network different from an near-field communication infrastructure adjacent to the mobile terminal and corresponding to the near-field communication infrastructure adjacent to the mobile terminal;
- selecting, from a configuration table, at least one configuration parameter of a plurality of sets of configuration parameters of the near-field communication device that correspond to the near-field communication infrastructure adjacent to the mobile terminal according to the identifier,
- wherein each set of parameters of the configuration table includes an identifier of a software application to be initiated on the mobile terminal to use the near-field communication device;
- and
- applying the at least one configuration parameter to the near-field communication device.
A mobile terminal, comprising:
- a near-field communication device within the mobile terminal;
- and
- a radio communication device within the mobile terminal and separate from the near-field communication device, the mobile terminal being configured to:
- determine, by the radio communication device, an identifier of a wireless local network within a range of the mobile terminal, the wireless local network different from a aft near-field communication infrastructure adjacent to the mobile terminal and corresponding to the near-field communication infrastructure adjacent to the mobile terminal;
- select, from a configuration table, at least one configuration parameter of a plurality of sets of configuration parameters of the near-field communication device that correspond to the near-field communication infrastructure adjacent to the mobile terminal according to the identifier,
- wherein each set of parameters of the configuration table includes an identifier of a software application to be initiated on the mobile terminal to use the near-field communication device;
- and
- apply the at least one configuration parameter to the near-field communication device.
A system, comprising:
- a mobile terminal including:
- a geolocation device configured to determine a geographic position of the mobile terminal, the geographic position corresponding to a near-field communication infrastructure adjacent to the mobile terminal;
- a first near-field communication device within the mobile terminal;
- and
- a radio communication device within the mobile terminal;
- wherein the mobile terminal is configured to:
- select, from a configuration table, at least one configuration parameter of a plurality of sets of configuration parameters of the near-field communication device that corresponds to the near-field communication infrastructure adjacent to the mobile terminal based on the determined geographic position of the mobile terminal,
- wherein each configuration parameter of each set of configuration parameters of the configuration table includes an identifier of a software application to be initiated on the mobile terminal to use the first near-field communication device;
- and
- apply the at least one configuration parameter to the near-field communication device.
