Detector logic and radio identification device and method for enhancing terminal operations
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- a physical interface configured to connect a radio frequency identification device to the apparatus, wherein the apparatus is configured to host the radio frequency identification device;
a processor; and
a memory, the memory comprising computer program code stored thereon, the memory and the computer program code being configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to;
receive a detection signal issued by the radio frequency identification device through the physical interface in response to a detected event relating to an operation of the radio frequency identification device, wherein the detection signal informs the apparatus that the radio frequency identification device has sensed an activation signal through a radio frequency identification interface; and
initiate an application in response to receipt of the detection signal from the radio frequency identification device, wherein the application is configured to supply data to the radio frequency identification device.

Abstract
An electronic device operable with a radio frequency identification device operable with a detector logic and a method for operating the electronic device with a radio frequency identification device and a detector logic is provided. Firstly, a detection event is registered by the detector logic. The detected event relates to an operation of the radio frequency identification device, which is applicable to transmit data to a counterpart radio frequency identification device. A detection signal is generated and issued by the detector logic in response to the registering and detection event, respectively, which detection signal is received by the electronic device. Then, the electronic device initiates one or more operations in response to the receiving of the detection signal.
