Method and device for controlling the execution of at least one function in a short range wireless communication module of a mobile phone
First Claim
1. A method of controlling execution of at least one function in a mobile apparatus adapted to receive identification means, the method comprising:
- transmitting within the mobile apparatus, an information request from a wireless near field communication module separate from the identification means within the mobile apparatus to a processor of said identification means within the mobile apparatus, said information request aiming to obtain at least one item of information characteristic of said identification means;
receiving by the wireless near field communication module within the mobile apparatus, a response to said information request from said identification means, said response containing at least one item of information characteristic of said identification means;
authenticating, within the mobile apparatus, said response by said wireless near field communication module; and
if said response is authenticated, executing said at least one function in said wireless near field communication module in response to said at least one item of information characteristic of said identification means, said at least one function comprising initiating a communication with a wireless near field communication device external to the mobile apparatus.

Abstract
A method and device for controlling the execution of at least one function in a short-range wireless communication module of a mobile apparatus adapted for receiving at least one identification card. After transmitting an information request to the identification card, to obtain at least one piece of information characteristic of the identification card, an answer including at least one piece of information characteristic of the identification card is received therefrom. When the answer is identified and in response to the at least one piece of information, the at least one function is executed. An authentication request is received by the short-range wireless communication module. If the answer is authenticated, the short-range wireless communication module sends an authorization to the authentication request in response to the at least one piece of information characteristic of the identification card before the execution of the at least one function.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium on which is stored computer-executable code of a computer program that comprises instructions that, when executed by a mobile apparatus having a wireless near field communication module and identification means with a separate processor, causes the mobile apparatus to execute the steps of:
-
transmitting within the mobile apparatus, an information request by said wireless near field communication module separate from the identification means in the mobile apparatus to the processor of said identification means in the mobile apparatus, said information request aiming to obtain at least one item of information characteristic of said identification means; receiving, by the wireless near field communication module within the mobile apparatus, a response to said information request from said identification means, said response containing at least one item of information characteristic of said identification means; authenticating, within the mobile apparatus, said response by said wireless near field communication module; and if said response is authenticated, executing said at least one function in the wireless near field communication module in response to said at least one item of information characteristic of said identification means, said at least one function comprising initiating a communication with a wireless near field communication device external to the mobile apparatus.

12. A control device for executing at least one function in wireless near field communication means of a mobile apparatus adapted to receive identification means, the control device comprising in the mobile apparatus:
-
means for transmitting within the mobile apparatus at least one information request from the wireless near field communication means separate from the identification means in the mobile apparatus to a processor of said identification means in the mobile apparatus, said information request aiming to obtain at least one item of information characteristic of said identification means; means for receiving, by said wireless near field communication means within the mobile apparatus a response to said information request from said identification means, said response including at least one item of information characteristic of said identification means; means for authenticating, within the mobile apparatus, said response by said wireless near field communication means; and means for executing said at least one function in the wireless near field communication means in response to said at least one item of information characteristic of said identification means, said at least one function comprising initiating a communication with a wireless near field communication device external to the mobile apparatus. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
