Patent Images
1. A method of personalizing an electronic entity comprising means for contactless communication and means for contact communication, the method comprising:
- writing activation information intended to prevent the exchange of certain data at least via the means for contactless communication and writing configuration information indicating access rights to control setting of the activation information,wherein the activation information is modifiable on reception, only via the means for contact communication, of an activation instruction causing the activation information to be set to a predetermined value authorizing an exchange of the certain data at least via contactless communication, the activation information being settable based on the activation instruction subject to the configuration information written in a rewritable non-volatile memory.

Abstract
An electronic entity includes contact communication elements (4) and remote communication elements (6). Members (2, K) are also provided to authorize an exchange of certain data at least via the remote communication elements based on the prior reception of an instruction via the contact communication elements. A terminal for communication with such an electronic entity as well as methods for controlling and for customizing the electronic entity are disclosed.

11. A method of personalizing an electronic entity comprising contactless communication means, the method comprising:
writing configuration information indicating access rights to control setting of activation information to a predetermined value in a rewritable non-volatile memory intended to condition an exchange of certain data at least via the contactless communication means, the configuration information representing conditions for modification of the activation information, the activation information preventing by default the exchange of at least the certain data but being settable to authorize the exchange of the certain data via the contactless communication means based on a received activation instruction via contact communication means, subject to the configuration information, the received activation instructions causing the activation information to be set to the predetermined value. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)

14. A method of personalizing an electronic entity designed for a contactless communication mode and comprising means for contact communication, the method comprising:
writing activation information intended to condition use of the contactless communication mode and writing configuration information indicating access rights to control setting of the activation information, the activation information inhibiting by default the contactless communication mode, wherein said activation information is modifiable to be set to authorize the contactless communication mode on reception of an activation instruction causing the activation information to be set to a predetermined value authorizing an exchange of certain data via the contactless communication mode, via the means for contact communication only, subject to the configuration information written in a rewritable non-volatile memory. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
