User interface for accessing files in a smartcard file
First Claim
1. A program for allowing access to data associated with at least one file stored within an electronic card having one or more associated user interface elements, said electronic card comprising a card portion having an electronic apparatus attached thereto, said electronic apparatus comprising a processor means coupled to a memory means, said processor means being adapted for coupling to a reading device to facilitate reading of said electronic card, said memory means being configured to retain said files and said program for execution by said processor means, said program comprising:
- code for relating reading signals generated from a user selection of at least one of said associated user interface elements with a first file stored within said memory, said first file being classified by said program as protected; and
code for allowing access to data of a second file associated with said first file, said second file being classified by said program as unprotected.

Abstract
A program, method and apparatus for allowing access to data associated with at least one file stored within an electronic card (100) having one or more associated user interface elements (154), is disclosed. The electronic card (100) comprises a card portion (270) having an electronic apparatus (259) attached thereto. The electronic apparatus (259) comprises a processor means (275) coupled to a memory means (276). The processor means (275) is adapted for coupling to a reading device (300) to facilitate reading of the electronic card (100). The memory means (276) is configured to retain the files and the program for execution by the processor means (275). The program relates reading signals generated from a user selection of at least one of the associated user interface elements (154) with a first file stored within the memory (276). The first file is classified by the program as protected. The program allows access to data of a second file associated with the first file. The second file is classified by the program as unprotected.
