Abstract
The present device aggregates all kinds of contactless services such as credit card, loyalty card, micro-payment, discount card, transport card, access control, e-ticket, parking, etc. An NFC (Near Field Communication) device comprises a host CPU, a memory, a GPRS modem controlled by the CPU to access Internet, a SIM holder, an antenna and a battery. The NFC device is shaped as a credit card and it also includes a touch-screen, able to implement technical functionalities to operate contactless services, visualize his ticket/coupon and consult the latest transaction, a secure element to store and execute the contactless applications, and a ST controller connected to Host CPU and to the SE.
Claims11
A device (NFC) comprising a host CPU/MCU, a memory, a GPRS modem controlled by the CPU to access an Internet, a SIM holder, an antenna and a battery, the NFC being shaped as a credit card and further comprising a touch-screen adapted to operate contactless services, visualize a ticket/coupon, and consult the latest transaction or equivalent, a secure element (SE) adapted to store and execute the contactless applications, and a NFC Front-end controller connected to host CPU/MCU and to the SE, the device using a dedicated SC Reader as a smartcard chip, and the SC reader being connected to the SE and to the host CPU.
A connection system of Near Field Communication devices (NFC), the system comprising:
- a host CPU/MCU, a memory, a GPRS modem controlled by the CPU to access an Internet, a SIM holder, and a battery, the NFC further comprising a touch-screen adapted to operate a contactless application, visualize a ticket/coupon, and consult the latest transaction or equivalent, a secure element (SE) adapted to store and execute the contactless application, and a NFC Front-end controller connected to host CPU/MCU and to the SE;
- and
- the NFC devices being connected through the mobile Internet and the GPRS connection to a backend server to manage application download on the SE of the NFC devices and, when a new user subscribes a service, the contactless application is downloaded to the SE and the user interface is downloaded to the NFC device of the new user.
