Method and device for adapting a near-field communication

A method for inviting communications on a terminal, called reader terminal, of an NFC (near-field communication) type, said reader terminal being adapted to invite according to at least one NFC type near-field communication and one IBC (Intra-Body Communication) type near-field communication, the method comprising, on the reader terminal set to NFC reader mode so as to transmit a message in an electromagnetic field:

• transmitting, to a mobile terminal, an invitation message inviting communications alternately according to types of near-field communication;
• and
• receiving, in response to said invitation message indicating an IBC communication and the mobile terminal being in IBC mode, a pairing message over a return channel distinct from the near-field channel.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising a computer program stored thereon and able to be implemented on a mobile terminal, the program comprising code instructions which, when the program is executed by a processor of the mobile terminal, carries out a method for adapting a communication of the mobile terminal, wherein the mobile terminal is equipped with an NFC (near-field communication) module, said mobile terminal being able to be set to an NFC mode or to an IBC (Intra-Body Communication) mode in order to carry out contactless transactions, and to receive a message in an electromagnetic field over a near-field channel, the method comprising:

• receiving, from a reader terminal, an invitation message inviting communications alternately according to types of near-field communication;
• and
• transmitting, in response to said invitation message indicating an IBC communication, and the mobile terminal being set to IBC mode, a pairing request over a return channel distinct from the near-field channel.
