Communications of UICC in mobile devices using Internet protocols
First Claim
1. A system for communication between a mobile device having a mobile device memory and a mobile device processor and a UICC having a UICC memory and a UICC processor, comprising:
- a mobile device communications module stored in the mobile device memory and having instructions to cause the mobile device processor to selectively communicate with the UICC processor or with at least one node on a network, the mobile device communications module having;
an Internet protocol module operable to receive messages issued from a first Internet application, to package the messages as Internet protocol packets, and to transmit the packets to target IP addresses; and
operable to receive Internet protocol packets, to process the packets, and to send the messages contained in the packets to the first Internet application and having;
a routing module operable to receive Internet protocol packets and operable to cause the internet protocol module to transmit the packets selectively to the mobile device, to a GPRS network or to the UICC as a function of the target Internet protocol address of the packets.

Abstract
A mobile device and UICC communication using standard Internet protocols. Such communication allows users access to their UICC information using standard web browsers and allows use of the UICCs to communicate with remote servers and thereby provide secure services for Internet transactions. The mobile device has a communications module to selectively communicate with the UICC processor or with at least one node on a network, the mobile device communications module has an Internet protocol module operable to receive messages issued from a first Internet application as Internet protocol packets, and to transmit the packets to target IP addresses; and operable to receive Internet protocol packets, to process the packets, and to send the messages contained in the packets to the first Internet application.

21. A mobile device operable to provide a mechanism for communication between a UICC having a UICC memory and a UICC processor and a remote server connected to a network via a mobile device having a mobile device memory and a mobile device, wherein the mobile device comprises:
-
a mobile device communications module stored in the mobile device memory and having instructions to cause the mobile device processor to selectively communicate with the UICC processor or with at least one node on a network, the mobile device communications module having;
an Internet protocol module operable to receive messages issued from a first Internet application as Internet protocol packets, and to transmit the packets to target IP addresses; and
operable to receive Internet protocol packets, to process the packets, and to send the messages contained in the packets to the first Internet application and having;
a routing module operable to receive Internet protocol packets and operable to cause the internet protocol module to transmit the packets selectively to the mobile device, to a GPRS network or to the UICC as a function of the target Internet protocol address of the packets;
wherein the first application is an application on a remote server; and
wherein the mobile device further comprises means operable to connect to the Internet and to provide means by which the first application communicates with a second application executing on the UICC. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25)
