Abstract
An electronic entity includes contact communication elements (4) and remote communication elements (6). Members (2, K) are also provided to authorize an exchange of certain data at least via the remote communication elements based on the prior reception of an instruction via the contact communication elements. A terminal for communication with such an electronic entity as well as methods for controlling and for customizing the electronic entity are disclosed.
Claims20
Electronic entity comprising:
- contact communication means (4;
- 14);
- contactless communication means (6;
- 16);
- characterized by
- means (2, K;
- 12) for authorizing an exchange of certain data at least via the contactless communication means as a function of the reception before an instruction via the contact communication means.
Terminal comprising
- contact means for communication with an electronic entity comprising contactless communication means,
- characterized by
- means for sending, via the contact communication means, an instruction intended to condition an exchange of certain data at least via the contactless communication means.
Method of controlling an electronic entity comprising contact communication means and contactless communication means, characterized by the following steps:
- reception of an activation instruction (E6;
- E20) via the contact communication means;
- authorization of exchange (E8;
- E24) of certain data at least via the contactless communication means on reception of said activation instruction.
Method of personalizing an electronic entity comprising contactless communication means, characterized by a step of writing activation information intended to condition the exchange of certain data at least via the contactless communication means.
Method of personalizing an electronic entity comprising contactless communication means, characterized by a step of writing configuration information representing conditions for modification of activation information intended to condition the exchange of certain data at least via the contactless communication means.
