Communication station for communication with transponders and further communication stations with the aid of different protocols
First Claim
1. A communication station that is suitable for contactless communication with transponders and with further communication stations and that has first protocol-executing means designed to handle a station/transponder protocol, with the aid of which first protocol-executing means communication can be effected between the communication station and at least one transponder while observing the station/transponder protocol, and that has second protocol-executing means designed to handle a station/station protocol that differs from the station/transponder protocol in respect of at least one protocol parameter, with the aid of which second protocol-executing means communication can be effected between the communication station and at least one further communication station while observing the station/station protocol.

Abstract
A communication station (1) is suitable for contactless communication with transponders and with further communication stations and has a first protocol-executing circuit (12) and a second protocol-executing circuit (13), the first protocol-executing circuit (12) being designed to effect communication between the communication station (1) and transponders under a station/transponder protocol and the second protocol-executing circuit (13) being designed to effect communication between the communication station (1) and further communication stations under a station/station protocol.
