Abstract
A method for routing incoming or outgoing application data in an NFC system includes an NFC interface circuit performing contactless data sending and receiving. The routing of incoming application data received by the interface circuit includes routing at least a first portion of the incoming application data to a destination point located in the NFC system and designated as arbitration point of incoming application data routing; analyzing by the arbitration point the first portion of the incoming application data to identify the application for which the data is sent to the NFC system; designating by the arbitration point a point of destination of the application data and application processing; and routing a second portion of the incoming application data to the destination and processing point.

27. A method for routing incoming or outgoing application data in a Near Field Communication (NFC) system having an NFC interface circuit performing contactless data sending and receiving, characterized in that the routing of incoming application data received by the interface circuit comprises:
-
conveying at least a first portion of the incoming application data to a destination point located in a host processor of the NFC system and designated as an arbitration point of the routing of incoming application data; analyzing by the arbitration point the first portion of the incoming application data to identify the application for which the data is sent to the NFC system; designating by the arbitration point a destination point of the application and application processing data; and conveying a second portion of the incoming application data to the destination and processing point and conveying outgoing application data sent by the destination and processing point to the NFC interface circuit. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41)

42. A Near Field Communication (NFC) system comprising an NFC interface circuit performing contactless data sending and receiving, and an element for routing data within the NFC system,
the routing element being configured to process the routing of incoming application data received via the NFC interface circuit by conveying at least a first portion of the incoming application data to a destination point located in a host processor of the NFC system and designated as arbitration point of the routing of incoming application data, the arbitration point being configured to analyze the first portion of the incoming application data to identify the application for which the data is sent to the NFC system, and designate to the routing element a point of destination of the application data and of processing of the application, and the routing element being configured to convey a second portion of the incoming application data to the destination and processing point designated by the arbitration point, and convey outgoing application data sent by the destination and processing point to the NFC interface circuit.
