Abstract

A method for communicating at least one targeted message from a service provider to a user of a portable terminal is provided. The terminal integrates a secure element including at least one information storage register and a system for enabling contactless communication of the secure element with a reader of the service provider. The method includes the creation of a user profile and the recording of same in the register of the secure element. The profile comprises personal data relating to the user with an associated confidentiality level. The method further includes, after identification of the user by contactless communication between his/her terminal and the reader, activation of the confidentiality level that the user accords to the service provider and the communication to the provider of the personal data corresponding to the activated confidentiality level. The personal data is processed to generate at least one targeted message which is communicated to the user.

Claims

1-18. -18. (canceled)

19. Method of communicating at least one targeted message from a service provider to a user of a portable terminal, said terminal integrating a secure element including at least one information storage register and a means for enabling contactless communication of the secure element with a reader of the service provider, said method including creating a user profile including personal data relating to said user with an associated confidentially level and recording said profile in the at least one storage register of the secure element, after identification of the user by contactless communication between the user'"'"'s terminal and the reader, activating of the confidentiality level that the user accords to the service provider and the communication to said provider of the personal data corresponding to said activated confidentiality level, and processing said personal data in order to generate at least one targeted message which is communicated to the user.

20. Method of communication according to claim 19, wherein said at least one targeted message generating step comprises generating at least one targeted message of an interactive type in order to be communicated by the terminal within the framework of the utilisation of a service of the provider.

21. Method of communication according to claim 20, further comprising communicating said at least one targeted interactive message to the terminal in order to be recorded in the secure element in an inactive state, and activating a recorded interactive message by an action from the user.

22. Method of communication according to claim 20, further comprising recording in the secure element at least one interactive message in an inactive state, and the step of personal data making it possible to generate a targeted interactive message by activation of a recorded interactive message.

23. Method of communication according to claim 19, further comprising generating the at least one targeted message according to contextual data relating to the contactless communication between the terminal and the reader.

24. Method of communication according to claim 19, further comprising carrying out the contactless communication by implementation of a near field communication (NFC) technology.

25. Method of communication according to claim 19, further comprising entering the personal data by the user by an intermediary of at least one of the user'"'"'s terminal, the reader and another key-entry device.

26. Method of communication according to claim 25, further comprising offering the user at least one confidentiality level for the personal data that the user enters.

27. Method of communication according to claim 19, wherein said activity step comprises activating the confidentiality level that the user accords to the service provider during first identification of the user on a reader of said provider.

28. Method of communication according to claim 19, further comprising processing the personal data by the reader in order to generate a targeted message.

29. Method of communication according to claim 19, further comprising communicating the personal data to a remote platform, and said platform processing said data and communicating a targeted message to the user.

30. Method of communication according to claim 29, wherein said communicating step comprises communicating the personal data to the remote platform by the reader.

31. Method of communication according to claim 19, further comprising communicating a targeted message to the user via display on the reader.

32. Method of communication according to claim 19, further comprising communicating a targeted message to the user by display on the terminal.

33. Method of communication according to claim 19, wherein communication of the targeted message is carried out by contactless communication between the terminal and the reader.

34. Method of communication according to claim 19, further comprising coding the personal data recorded in the secure element according to TLV or TV protocol.

35. A mobile terminal integrating a secure element comprising at least one register for storing a profile of a user of said terminal, said profile including personal data relating to said user with an associated confidentiality level, said terminal further comprising a means for enabling contactless communication of the secure element with a reader of a service provider, and said terminal further integrating an application allowing for interaction between said terminal and said reader in order to allow for implementation of the method of communication according to claim 19.

36. A mobile terminal according to claim 35, wherein the application is recorded in a register of the secure element.
