METHOD OF ACCESSING APPLICATIONS IN A SECURE MOBILE ENVIRONMENT
First Claim
1. A method of accessing in a mobile communication device an application, the application being issued by a Service Provider, from a trusted application, also known as wallet, in which mobile device a secure element is arranged so that it comprises a service manager that manages the application, comprisingmanaging by the service manager a link between the application and an assigned application-codec also being issued by the Service Provider, which application codec is installed in the secure element, wherein the application-codec comprises an interface between the service manager and the application that translates application access requests received from the service manager which are invariant in respect of specific types and/or formats of the application into type and/or format specific application access requests, processes the same on the application and returns the result of the application access requests to the service manager,wherein the application access requests of the service manager are triggered by the wallet, wherein the service manager retrieves the application-codec assigned to the application by means of utilizing the link between the application and the application-codec, sends the application access requests to the retrieved application-codec linked with the respective application and returns the results delivered by the application-codec to the wallet.

Abstract
A method of accessing in a mobile communication device (4) an application (5, 14, 26), the application (5, 14, 26) being issued by a Service Provider (2), from a trusted application, also known as wallet (12), in which mobile device (4) a secure element (7) such as a SmartMX device is comprised that comprises a service manager (8) that manages the application (5, 14, 26), comprising managing by the service manager (8) a link between the application (5, 14, 26) and an application-codec (6, 15) also being issued by the Service Provider (2), wherein the application-codec (6, 15) is designed for interfacing between the service manager (8) and the application (5, 14, 26) and for processing an access request requesting access to the application (5, 14, 26) received from the service manager (8) and triggered by the wallet (12), and, triggered by the wallet (12), accessing the application (5, 14, 26) via the service manager (8) by means of utilization of the link between the application (5, 14, 26) and the application-codec (6, 15), such that the application-codec (6, 15) linked with the respective application (5, 14, 26) performs accessing (23) the application (5, 14, 26) under control of the service manager (8).
