<p>To make the management of a gratuity counter (6) in a chip card more flexible, a file architecture for easier counter management is recorded in the chip card memory (5). Said architecture is characterised in that it comprises a counter unit file (7) wherein are located the counters concerning an application, associated with the rules (12) applicable thereto. Thus, the simple designation of a counter unit implies the implementation of the rules applicable to said counter unit. This implementation is internal to the chip card and does not require any exchange with the reader. The chip memory further comprises the rules file (12), the conditions file (14), the computation file (14) and the backup file (200) which by interaction provides great flexibility.</p> |
