SMARTCARD RECEIVING DEVICE FOR PROVIDING A REMOTE COMMUNICATION WITH SWITCHING MEANS

摘要

The invention relates to a smartcard receiving device, comprising a contact interface (11) for communicating with the received smartcard (2); a remote communication interface (13) for communicating with a first remote device (3); a protocol bridge (12) designed to establish a transaction with the received smartcard (2) through the contact interface (11). The smartcard receiving device further comprises a communicating device detector (14, 15) adapted to detect a second remote device (5) communicating according to a remote communication protocol different from the communication protocol used by said remote communication interface (13). The protocol bridge (12) interrupts the transaction with the received smartcard (2) when the second remote device (5) communicating according to said different remote communication protocol is detected.
