Method of accessing applications in a secure mobile environment
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- managing, by a service manager in a mobile communication device, a link between an application and an assigned application-codec installed in a secure element, wherein the assigned application-codec comprises an interface between the service manager and an application that translates application access requests received from the service manager which are format invariant;
processing the translated application access requests;
returning the processed application access requests to the service manager;
triggering, with a wallet, the returned application access requests;
retrieving, with the service manager, the application-codec assigned to a respective application by utilizing the link between the application and the application-codec;
sending the triggered application access requests to the retrieved application-codec linked with the respective application; and
returning results delivered by the application-codec to the wallet.

Abstract
A method of accessing in a mobile communication device (4) an application (5, 14, 26), the application (5, 14, 26) being issued by a Service Provider (2), from a trusted application, also known as wallet (12), in which mobile device (4) a secure element (7) such as a SmartMX device is comprised that comprises a service manager (8) that manages the application (5, 14, 26), comprising managing by the service manager (8) a link between the application (5, 14, 26) and an application-codec (6, 15) also being issued by the Service Provider (2), wherein the application-codec (6, 15) is designed for interfacing between the service manager (8) and the application (5, 14, 26) and for processing an access request requesting access to the application (5, 14, 26)received from the service manager (8) and triggered by the wallet (12), and, triggered by the wallet (12), accessing the application (5, 14, 26) via the service manager (8) by means of utilization of the link between the application (5, 14, 26) and the application-codec (6, 15), such that the application-codec (6, 15) linked with the respective application (5, 14, 26) performs accessing (23) the application (5, 14, 26) under control of the service manager (8).
