Abstract

The invention relates to a method of communicating a message relating to a transaction of a contactless application effected between a mobile terminal equipped with a contactless module and equipment, comprising the steps of detecting the end of the transaction between the terminal and the equipment, obtaining a message containing at least information identifying said application and end of transaction information, and communicating said message.

The invention also relates to a method of transmitting such a message including the steps of receiving end detection information, identifying the application associated with the transaction, and determining and transmitting the message to the mobile terminal.

The invention further relates to a mobile terminal and a secure module capable of being used with a mobile terminal.

Claims

1. A method of communicating a message concerning a transaction of a contactless application effected between a mobile terminal equipped with a contactless module and an equipment, said transaction being initialized by said equipment, said method comprising the following steps:

detecting the end of a transaction between the terminal and the equipment;

obtaining a message containing information identifying said application and end of transaction information; and

communicating said message.

2. A method according to claim 1, wherein the step of obtaining the message comprises the following steps:

sending end of transaction detection information to a secure module; and

receiving said message and a man-machine interface command.

3. A method according to claim 2, wherein the end of transaction detection information contains an identifier corresponding to said application associated with the transaction.

4. A method according to claim 2, in which the secure module is a subscriber card inserted in said terminal.

5. A method according to claim 1, wherein the end of transaction information includes data of the application updated after execution of the transaction.

6. A method according to claim 1, wherein the communication step comprises a step of displaying said message on a screen of the mobile terminal and/or a step of reproducing a voice message containing said message by a loudspeaker of the mobile terminal.

7. A method of transmitting a message concerning a transaction of a contactless application effected between a mobile terminal equipped with a contactless module and an equipment, said transaction being initialized by said equipment, said method comprising the following steps:

receiving end of transaction detection information;

identifying the application associated with the transaction;

determining said message including information identifying said application and end of transaction information; and

transmitting said message to the mobile terminal.

8. A method according to claim 7, wherein the identification step comprises a step of reading an identifier stored during said transaction.

9. A method according to claim 7, wherein the end of transaction information comprises data of the application updated after execution of the transaction.

14. A computer program product comprising instructions for executing the steps of the method according to claim 7 when it is loaded and executed by a processor of the secure module.

10. A mobile terminal including a contactless communications module, comprising:

means for detecting the end of a transaction;

means for obtaining a message containing information identifying said application and end of transaction information; and

man-machine interface means for communicating said message.

13. A system comprising a mobile terminal according to claim 10 and a secure module according to claim 11 inserted in said terminal.

11. A secure module comprising:

means for receiving end of transaction detection information;

means for identifying the application associated with the transaction;

means for determining a message containing information identifying said application and end of transaction information; and

means for transmitting said message and a man-machine interface command to the mobile terminal.

12. A secure module according to claim 12, further comprising means for storing an identifier corresponding to said application associated with the transaction that is stored during the transaction.
