APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SELECTING PICC IN PORTABLE TERMINAL
First Claim
1. A method for selecting a Proximity Interface Coupling Card (PICC) of a portable terminal having a Near Field Communication (NFC) module including multiple PICCs, the method comprising:
- activating the NFC module when the portable terminal is at a power-off state;
determining whether a key signal for activating one PICC among the multiple PICCs is inputted in the activated NFC module; and
activating the PICC mapped with the inputted key signal when the key signal is inputted.

Abstract
An apparatus and method for selecting a Proximity Interface Coupling Card (PICC) of a portable terminal having a Near Field Communication (NFC) module including multiple PICCs are provided. The method includes activating the NFC module when the portable terminal is at a power-off state, determining whether a key signal for activating one PICC among the multiple of PICCs is inputted in the activated NFC module, and activating the PICC mapped with the inputted key signal when the key signal is inputted.

9. An apparatus for selecting a Proximity Interface Coupling Card (PICC) of a portable terminal, the apparatus comprising:
-
a Near Field Communication (NFC) module including multiple PICCs; and an input unit for inputting a key signal for activating one PICC among the multiple PICCs when the portable terminal is at a power-off state, wherein the NFC module determines whether the key signal is inputted from the input unit when the NFC module is activated and when the portable terminal is at the power-off state, and activates a PICC mapped with the inputted key signal among the multiple PICCs when the key signal is inputted. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
