Abstract
The invention relates to a method for accessing at least one service. A host device is coupled to a chip. The chip stores data relating to at least one test Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) type application and/or data relating to at least one SIM type application. The host device sends to the chip a command for switching from a first application to a second application. The first application is either a test SIM type application or a SIM type application. The second application is either a SIM type application or a test SIM type application. And the chip carries out an activation of the second application and a de-activation of the first application. The invention also relates to a corresponding system for accessing at least one service.
Claims10
A method for accessing at least one service, via a host device coupled to a chip, the chip storing data relating to at least one test Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) type application and/or data relating to at least one SIM type application,
- comprising the following steps:
- the host device sends to the chip a command for switching from a first application to a second application, the first application being either a test SIM type application or a SIM type application, the second application being either a SIM type application or a test SIM type application;
- and
- the chip carries out an activation of the second application and a de-activation of the first application.
A system for accessing at least one service, the system comprising a host device and a chip coupled to the host device, the chip comprising means for storing data relating to at least one test Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) type application and/or data relating to at least one SIM type application,
- wherein the host device is configured to send to the chip a command for switching from a first application to a second application, the first application being either a test SIM type application or a SIM type application, the second application being either a SIM type application or a test SIM type application;
- and
- wherein the chip is configured to carry out an activation of the second application and a de-activation of the first application.
