Abstract

A mobile device for interacting with a trade device includes: a card reader configured for reading data of an integrated circuit (IC) card, when a processor detects that the card reader contacts or receives the IC card; and a near field communication device configured for connecting to the trade device when the mobile device needs to transact with the trade device, and outputting data of a selected IC card for implementing a transaction between the mobile device and the trade device.

Claims

1. A mobile device for interacting with a trade device, the mobile device comprising:

a card reader configured for reading transactional data of an integrated circuit (IC) card when a processor of the mobile device detects that the card reader contacts or receives the IC card; and

a near field communication device configured for connecting to the trade device, and for outputting transactional data of a selected IC card for implementing a data transaction between the mobile device and the trade device.

2. The mobile device as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a security device for securing the transactional data of the IC card.

3. The mobile device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the security device is configured for prompting a user of the mobile device that a fingerprint of the user, an image of the user to be recognized, or password of the user need to be inputted into the mobile device.

4. The mobile device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the processor is an Advanced Risc Machine processor.

5. The mobile device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the cards are credit cards, automatic teller machine (ATM) cards, identification (ID) cards, or subscriber identity module (SIM) cards.

6. A method for interacting with a trade device using a mobile device, the mobile device comprising a processor, a card reader and a near field communication device, the card reader and the near field communication device connecting with the processor, the method comprising:

reading transactional data of an integrated circuit (IC) card when the processor detects that the card reader contacts or receives the IC card;

connecting the mobile device to a trade device using a near field communication device when the mobile device needs to transact with the trade device; and

selecting an IC card in a storage system in the mobile device; and

outputting transactional data of the selected IC card for implementing a data transaction between the mobile device and the trade device.

7. The method as claimed in claim 6, further comprising:

prompting a user of the mobile device that a fingerprint of the user, an image of the user to be recognized, or password of the user need to be inputted into the mobile device.

8. The method as claimed in claim 6, wherein the processor is an Advanced Risc Machine processor.

9. The method as claimed in claim 6, wherein the IC card is one of credit cards, automatic teller machine (ATM) cards, identification (ID) cards, or subscriber identity module (SIM) cards.

10. A storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by a mobile device, cause the mobile device to perform a trade method, the mobile device comprising a processor, a card reader and a near field communication device, the method comprising:

reading transactional data of an integrated circuit (IC) card when the processor detects that the card reader contacts or receives the IC card;

connecting the mobile device to a trade device using a near field communication device when the mobile device needs to transact with the trade device; and

selecting an IC card in a storage system in the mobile device; and

outputting transactional data of the selected IC card for implementing a data transaction between the mobile device and the trade device.

11. The storage medium as claimed in claim 10, further comprising:

prompting a user of the mobile device that a fingerprint of the user, an image of the user to be recognized, or password of the user need to be inputted into the mobile device.

12. The storage medium as claimed in claim 10, wherein the processor is an Advanced Risc Machine processor.

13. The storage medium as claimed in claim 10, wherein the IC card is one of credit cards, automatic teller machine (ATM) cards, identification (ID) cards or subscriber identity module (SIM) cards.
