Method and apparatus for providing an interface between a UICC and a processor in an access terminal that supports asynchronous command processing by the UICC

摘要

Techniques for providing an interface between a UICC and a processor, included in an access terminal, that supports asynchronous command processing by the UICC, are described. A first complex command, with a first processing time, may be received from the processor. An initial response to the first command, including a token, may be sent to the processor. The first command may be processed for the first processing time. At least one additional command, having a processing time shorter than the first processing time, may be received from the processor. Processing of the first command may be completed. Processing of a current one of the at least one additional command, which was being processed before, during, or after completion of the processing of the first command, may be completed. A response to the current one of the at least one additional command, including the token, may be sent to the processor.

1. A method for providing an interface between a Universal Interface Circuit Card (UICC) and a processor, included in an access terminal, that supports asynchronous command processing by the UICC, comprising:
receiving a first command from the processor, wherein the first command is a complex command with a first processing time; sending an initial response to the first command to the processor, wherein the initial response includes a token associated with the first command; processing the first command for the first processing time; receiving at least one additional command from the processor, wherein each of the at least one additional command has a processing time shorter than the first processing time; completing processing of the first command; completing processing of a current one of the at least one additional command, wherein the current one of the at least one additional command is a command that is processing before, during, or after completion of the processing of the first command; and sending a response to the current one of the at least one additional command to the processor, wherein the response includes the token.
