TERMINAL OF SUPPORTING ENHANCED NEAR FIELD COMMUNICATION AND ITS PROCESSING METHOD
First Claim
1. A processing method in a terminal supporting enhanced Near Field Communication (eNFC), comprising:
- when the terminal determines that a user card does not support a Single Wire Protocol (SWP) interface, disabling a Near Field Communication (NFC) function.

Abstract
The present invention provides a terminal supporting eNFC and its processing method, in which a card emulation mode is disabled when a user card does not support SWP, and NFC in non card emulation modes can further be supported. A mobile terminal disabling/enabling the NFC function is implemented by the interaction of the mobile terminal with a NFC emulation front end chip therein. When the terminal determines that the user card does not support the SWP interface, it disables the NFC function. If the terminal is required to work in a non card emulation mode, the terminal starts a NFC application in the non card emulation, mode, and enables the NFC function when determining that the NFC function is in a disabled state; after the NFC ends, the terminal disables the NFC function when determining that the user card does not support the SWP interface.
