Mobile phone operation during low battery condition
First Claim
1. A method for completing a payment transaction from a mobile device while the mobile device is in a low battery shut-off operation mode by using a near field communication (NFC) transceiver coupled to a secure element (SE) storing at least two payment cards, where a first payment card is designated as a selected payment card before the mobile device enters the low battery shut-off operation mode, comprising:
- while the device is in a low battery shut-off operation mode, actuating an input key of the mobile device;
while the mobile device is in the low battery shut-off operation mode, in response to the actuation of the input key, electronically selecting a second payment card stored in a secure element of the mobile device to be the selected payment card; and
while the mobile device is in the low battery shut-off operation mode, completing a payment transaction between the near field communication transceiver of the mobile device and an external near field communication station based on the selected payment card.

Abstract
A mobile phone configured to complete payment transactions while the mobile phone is in a low battery shut-off state. The mobile phone comprises a secure element configured to store payment cards, a near field communication transceiver, wherein the near field communication transceiver is configured to complete a payment transaction based on a payment card stored in the secure element, a memory, a processor and an application stored in the memory. When executed by the processor, the application detects whether a power reserve is below a predefined threshold. When the power reserve is detected below the predefined threshold, the application prompts selection of a payment card stored in the secure element for use in completing payment transactions while the mobile phone is in a low battery shut-off state and configures one of the secure element or the near field communication transceiver to complete payment transactions using the selected payment card.

8. A mobile device that is configured to complete payment transactions after the device has completed a low battery shut-off, comprising:
-
a cellular radio transceiver; a display; a secure element (SE) configured to store a plurality of payment cards; a near field communication (NFC) transceiver, wherein the near field communication transceiver is configured to complete a payment transaction with an external near field communication station based on a first payment card of the plurality of payment cards stored in the secure element; a memory; a processor, wherein the processor is configured to turn on in a limited execution mode while in a low battery shut-off operation mode in response to a first combination of input key actuations; an application that, when executed by the processor in the limited execution mode, receives a second combination of input key actuations, wherein the second combination of input key actuations is different from the first combination of input key actuations, based on the second combination of input key actuations, configures one of the secure element or the near field communication transceiver to complete payment transactions using a second payment card of the plurality of payment cards stored in the secure element; wherein when the processor executes in the limited execution mode, the cellular radio transceiver and the display of the mobile device remain powered off. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
