METHOD AND DEVICE FOR ESTABLISHING NETWORK COMMUNICATION COMPATIBILITY OF TERMINALS, FOR EXAMPLE TO ENABLE DIALOGUE WITH A SMART CARD APPLICATION

摘要

In order to set up a communication channel on a link (R) connecting a client application (10) on a client machine (30) and a service application (12) present on a device (2) dependent on a terminal (31), the client machine comprising a representative (50) of the service application, are further provided: a formatting module (16') located at the client machine (30), downstream of the representative (50), for formatting the client application messages in a form (exchange (Msg card) readable by the service application (12), and a gateway (54) located at the terminal (31), for receiving the messages readable by the card and transmitting them to the service application (12). Typically, the communicating device is a smart card (2), the service application being a card application (12). The link (R) is typically a network, for example of the Internet type.
