This invention relates to a process and system for operating a UICC with a terminal such as a cell phones or a PC, where there is an ISO 7816 channel and/or an IC-USB channel between the UICC and the terminal. The invention enables a Concurrent operation mode for simultaneously communicating data or ISO protocol commands over the ISO 7816 channel and communicating data or USB protocols over the IC-USB channel. The system dynamically enters and exits Concurrent mode when both the UICC and the terminal support it, and operates in standard operation modes when either of them does not support it. In one embodiment, on the terminal, the ISO interface is connected to the communication processor and the IC-USB interface is connected to the application processor through a USB bridge chip, and the UICC can be configured either as a host or a gadget.
