MANAGING CONTACTLESS COMMUNICATIONS

摘要

Communicating via near field communication (NFC) between a reader and an application on an NFC-enabled device. A point of sale (POS) device and a consumer's mobile communication device establish an NFC session in accordance with each of the protocol layers of both International Organization for Standardization (ISO)/International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 14443 and ISO/IEC 7816 standards. A commerce application executing on the consumer's mobile communication device at a protocol layer above the ISO/IEC 14443 and ISO/IEC 7816 standards communicates a plurality of NFC application protocol data units (APDUs) to the POS device. At least one such APDU includes a consumer identifier. The consumer identifier includes a portion identifying the commerce application.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method to communicate via near field communication (NFC), comprising:
establishing, by an NFC reader and a user's mobile communication device, an NFC session between the NFC reader and the user's mobile communication device in accordance with each of multiple protocol layers of both International Organization for Standardization (ISO)/International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 14443 and ISO/IEC 7816 standards; and communicating to the NFC reader during the NFC session, by a NFC-enabled application executing on the user's mobile communication device at a protocol layer above the ISO/IEC 14443 and 7816 standards, a plurality of NFC application protocol data units (APDUs), at least one APDU comprising a user identifier, the user identifier comprising a portion identifying the NFC-enabled application.
