User interface for interaction with smart card applications
First Claim
1. A method of providing an interface to a first application, said first application being retained within a memory means of an electronic card, with at least one of a plurality of user interface elements being associated with a user interface element object stored in said memory, said memory means being coupled to a processor means of said electronic card, said processor means being coupled to a reading device configured to facilitate reading of said electronic card, said method comprising at least the steps of executing at least a first application and a second application within said processor means, said second application being configured to associate reading signals generated by said reading device in response to a selection of at least one of said elements with a command to be issued to said first application, said second application being configured to provide said interface to said first application.

Abstract
A method of providing an interface to a first application is disclosed. The first application is retained within a memory means (276) of an electronic card (100), with at least one of a plurality of user interface elements (154) being associated with a user interface element object stored in the memory (276). The memory means (276) is coupled to a processor means (275) of the electronic card (100). The processor means (275) is coupled to a reading device (300) configured to facilitate reading of the electronic card (100). The method executes at least a first application and a second application within the processor means (275). The second application is configured to associate reading signals generated by the reading device (300) in response to a selection of at least one of the elements (154) with a command to be issued to the first application. The second application is configured to provide the interface to the first application.
