Wireless bidirectional communications between a mobile device and associated secure element
First Claim
1. A system, comprising a mobile communication device and a secure element physically coupled to the mobile communication device, wherein:
- the mobile communication device comprises a first wireless transceiver, a first processor, and a first memory;
the secure element comprises a second wireless transceiver, a second processor, and a second memory;
the mobile communication device is configured to address packets to a serial number of the secure element and transmit point of sale (POS) transaction data via the first wireless transceiver to the secure element in the packets using a TCP/IP packet protocol; and
the secure element is configured to address messages to a phone number of the mobile communication device and transmit data via the second wireless transceiver to the mobile communication device in the messages using an SMS messaging protocol; and
wherein the secure element is configured to use power received from a POS device to transmit the messages to the mobile communication device.

Abstract
In some embodiments, a system includes a mobile communication device and a secure element physically coupled to the mobile communication device. The mobile communication device includes a first wireless transceiver, first processor, and first memory. The secure element includes a second wireless transceiver, second processor, and second memory. The mobile communication device is configured to transmit data via the first wireless transceiver to the secure element in packets, using a packet protocol. The secure element is configured to transmit data via the second wireless transceiver to the mobile communication device in messages, using a messaging protocol distinct from the packet protocol.
