Method and device for processing and displaying coded data stored in a smart card
First Claim
1. A device (1) for processing and displaying information obtained from coded data stored in a smart card (2), corresponding to operations associated with at least one program for keeping a user loyal to at least one trader, the device comprising means (3) for reading coded data from the memory of the smart card, storage means (5, 6) with reading/writing of data, calculating means (6, 7) and data-display means (8, 9), characterized in that, with the memory of the smart card including several data registers (5) respectively allocated to several different traders and/or corresponding to several loyalty programs, said registers comprising files, called Behavior files, relating to the behavior of the holder of the card with the trader or traders concerned, the calculating means (6, 7, 8) include means for formatting data output from the registers in a uniform way, the display means (8, 9) being configured to display, also in a uniform way, said information corresponding to said data thus formatted, and in that it further includes means (10) for navigation through the stored data by a user of the device in order to obtain the display of said information.

Abstract
The invention concerns a device (1) and a method for processing information derived from coded data stored in a smart card (2), corresponding to operations associated with at least a user-loyalty developing program aimed at a tradesman. The device comprises reading means (3), read/write storage means (5, 6), computing means (6, 7) and data display means (8, 9) The smart card memory comprises several data registers (15) respectively assigned to several different tradesmen and/or corresponding to several loyalty developing programs, comprising files concerning the behavior of the card bearer with the tradesman/tradesmen concerned. The computing means (6, 7, 8) include means for homogeneously formatting the data derived from the registers, the display means (8,9) being designed to display the data homogeneously as well. Means (10) are also provided for a user of the device to browse through the stored data to obtain display of the data
