First Claim
1. A method for facilitating communications between an electronic payment device and an issuer host, the method comprising the steps of:
- storing, by the issuer host in the payment device, a set of personalization parameters;
performing at least one of (i) transforming, as a function of the set of personalization parameters, a first set of status information indicative of available status information relating to the payment device into a second set of status information, the second set of status information comprising a subset of the first set of status information, and (ii) selecting, from a first set of actions indicative of available actions to be performed by the payment device, a second set of actions as a function of the set of personalization parameters and an order received from the issuer host for initiating at least one corresponding action in the payment device, the second set of actions being a subset of the first set of actions; and
the payment device performing at least one of (i) transmitting the second set of status information to the issuer host, and (ii) initiating all actions in the second set of actions corresponding to the order received from the issuer host.

Abstract
Facilitating communications between an electronic payment device and an issuer host includes storing in the payment device a set of personalization parameters. A first set of status information indicative of available status information relating to the payment device is transformed into a second set of status information based on the set of personalization parameters, and/or a second set of actions is selected from a first set of actions indicative of available actions to be performed by the payment device based on the set of personalization parameters and an order received from the issuer for initiating at least one corresponding action in the payment device. The second set of status information includes a subset of the first set of status information; the second set of actions includes a subset of the first set of actions. The payment device transmits the second set of status information to the issuer and/or initiates the actions in the second set of actions corresponding to the order received from the issuer.

28. A system comprising:
-
An electronic payment device comprising risk management resources, configured for performing a plurality of available actions on the risk management resources, and a parameterization structure including preselected actions representing specific actions among the plurality of available actions of interest, the preselected actions being a subset of the available actions; a network, and an issuer host configured to communicate with the electronic payment device via the network and generate issuer authentication data (IAhD) including an appropriate response code (ARPC response code), the ARPC response code including one or more orders mapped to one or more of the preselected actions, the parameterization structure being reconfigurable by the issuer host to generate a different mapping assignment such that orders from the issuer host are mapped to different preselected actions.
