Abstract

The invention relates to a method for processing and transmitting digital data in a mobile telephone network, particularly using the GSM standard, and more particularly for applications using the so-called SIM Toolkit standard stores in a smart card of the so-called SIM Type of a unit of mobile equipment (1). According to the method, so-called master applications (30M) are remoted to a remote server (3) with which the mobile equipment (1) communicates. These applications (30M) communicate with the SIM smart card (2) via the circuits of the mobile equipment (10) and first and second types of so-called “reporter” SIM Toolkit applications, respectively called “reporter” (21) and “slave” (22). The invention also concerns an embedded microchip system, particularly a smart card of the so-called SIM type.

Claims13

Dependent claims

A method for processing digital data in a mobile telephone network comprising a mobile unit operatively connected to a smart card having an embedded chip, said embedded chip having an information processor and a data storage unit, said data storage unit including a reporter-type application program and a slave-type application program, said method comprising:

receiving, by said reporter-type application program in said smart card, an event sent from said mobile unit;
delegating, in response to receiving said event, execution of a smart-card operation to an additional application program stored in a data storage unit of a remote application server, said additional application program being a master-type application program, wherein said delegating comprises sending a message for processing from the reporter-type application to the master-type application of the remote application server via a channel of said mobile telephone network;
receiving, by said slave-type application program, commands from the master-type application program using said mobile telephone network;
executing said commands using said information processor of said embedded chip of the smart card;
and
retransmitting results of said executing commands to the master-type application program using said mobile telephone network.
