Method and apparatus for contactless interface on ICC supporting high speed interface

摘要

An integrated circuit card includes a plurality of electrical contacts; and a memory to store information, the memory being allowed to communicate with a processor via the plurality of electrical contacts. One set of electrical contacts arc allowed to be allocated by the processor to support an operation in at least one mode depending on a presence of a certain protocol mode detected by the processor. The integrated circuit card is operable in various modes including both contactlcss and high speed protocols, a contaetless only without the high speed protocol and the high speed protocol only without the contactless protocol.
