Mobile communications device providing near field communication (nfc) card issuance features and related methods

A mobile communications device comprising:

• a near field communications (NFC) device;
• a processor capable of providing a mobile wallet interface;
• a memory, and
• a memory controller coupled with the NFC device, the memory, and the processor, the memory controller being capable of
• receiving an applet and associated mobile wallet interface data via the NFC device,
• storing the applet and the associated mobile wallet interface data in the memory, and
• sending the mobile wallet interface data from the memory to the processor for the mobile wallet interface.

A communications method comprising:

• establishing a near field communications (NFC) link between a mobile communications device and a provisioning terminal, the provisioning terminal being capable of receiving data from a provisioning server, and wherein the mobile communications device comprises a processor capable of providing a mobile wallet interface, a memory, and a memory controller coupled with the memory and the processor;
• receiving an applet and associated mobile wallet interface data from the provisioning server via the provisioning terminal using the memory controller based upon the NFC communication between the provisioning terminal and the mobile communications device;
• storing the applet and the associated mobile wallet interface data in the memory;
• and
• sending the mobile wallet interface data from the memory to the processor for the mobile wallet interface using the memory controller.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium for a mobile communications device comprising a processor capable of providing a mobile wallet interface, a memory, and a memory controller, the computer-readable medium having computer executable instructions for causing the mobile communications device to perform steps comprising:

• establishing a near field communications (NFC) link between the mobile communications device and a provisioning terminal, the provisioning terminal being capable of receiving data from a provisioning server;
• receiving an applet and associated mobile wallet interface data from the provisioning server via the provisioning terminal using the memory controller based upon the NFC communication between the provisioning terminal and the mobile communications device;
• storing the applet and the associated mobile wallet interface data in the memory;
• and
• sending the mobile wallet interface data from the memory to the processor for the mobile wallet interface using the memory controller.
