Abstract
A mobile device includes a smartcard controller that does not rely on power received from an interrogating RF field. The mobile device also includes a small inductive device capable of inductive coupling with an RFID reader. The smartcard controller includes circuitry to modulate an impedance of a port coupled to the inductive element when in the presence of an interrogating RF field at substantially 13.56 MHz.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving at least one of data pattern or an address from an RFID card;
- and
- populating the data pattern or the address into a command to cause the command to be diverted to a smartcard controller on the RFID card.
An apparatus comprises:
- a receiver to receive at least one of data pattern or an address from an RFID card;
- and
- a logic coupled to the receiver, wherein the logic is to populate the data pattern or the address into a command to cause the command to be diverted to a smartcard controller on the RFID card.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having machine-readable instructions stored thereon, that when executed, cause one or more machines to perform a method comprising:
- receiving at least one of data pattern or an address from an RFID card;
- and
- populating the data pattern or the address into a command to cause the command to be diverted to a smartcard controller on the RFID card.
