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.

21. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one storage device storing a set of instructions; and at least one processor coupled to the at least one storage device, the set of instructions configuring the at least one processor to perform operations comprising; determining a contactless terminal operates a protocol unsupported by an operating system of the at least one processor; retrieving, from a controller, instructions to initiate a secure element, the secure element executing instructions that conform to the protocol; determining whether a distance between the at least one processor and the contactless terminal is within a range; and communicating with the contactless terminal using the secure element when the distance is within the range. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)

37. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, perform operations comprising:
-
determining a contactless terminal operates a protocol unsupported by an operating system of the processor; retrieving, from a controller, instructions to initiate a secure element, the secure element executing instructions that conform to the protocol; determining whether a distance between the processor and the contactless terminal is within a range; and communicating with the contactless terminal using the secure element when the distance is within the range. - View Dependent Claims (38, 39, 40)
