First Claim
Patent Images
1. A mobile device for processing transactions, comprising:
- a processor; and
memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, perform operations comprising;
initializing a discovery mode to detect a contactless payment terminal;
identifying a near field communication protocol associated with the contactless payment terminal;
providing a selection to the user regarding whether or not to use a secure element to perform a transaction when the near field communication protocol is not supported by an operating system associated with the mobile device; and
conducting the transaction based at least on the user selection.

Abstract
Methods and systems are disclosed for providing Near Field Communications. In certain embodiments, an Android mobile operating system based mobile device is configured with software that, when executed by one or more processors, determines whether the mobile device is to perform an NFC communication with a contactless payment terminal (CPT) using a secure element associated with an NFC controller included in the mobile device. Based on the determination, the mobile device is configured to execute software that performs communications with the CPT using the NFC controller.
