Abstract

Proposed is a method for carrying out a transaction between a mobile telephone (6) and a sales apparatus (45), the telephone (6) comprising a first memory (40) for storing an identifier (I), the identifier (I) being able to identify the mobile telephone (6) uniquely, the method comprising the following steps:

• • a) reception of the identifier by radiofrequency communication via the sales apparatus (45),
  • b) identification of the mobile telephone (6) by the sales apparatus (45) from the identifier received during the first sending step, and
  • c) generation by the sales apparatus (45) of a proof of purchase comprising a signature computed by the sales apparatus (45) and able to authenticate the proof of purchase, the proof of purchase (PA) being a transportation title.

Claims

1. A method for carrying out a transaction between a mobile telephone and a sales apparatus, the telephone comprising a first memory for storing an identifier, the identifier being able to identify the mobile telephone uniquely, the method comprising the following steps:

a) reception of the identifier via radiofrequency communication by the sales apparatus,

b) identification of the mobile telephone by the sales apparatus from the identifier received during the reception step, and

c) generation by the sales apparatus of a proof of purchase comprising a signature computed by the sales apparatus and able to authenticate the proof of purchase, the proof of purchase being a transportation title.

2. The method for carrying out a transaction according to claim 1, wherein the signature is computed by the sales apparatus from at least the received identifier.

3. The method for carrying out a transaction according to claim 2, comprising a step for:

d) sending the proof of purchase from the sales apparatus to the mobile telephone by radiofrequency communication.

4. The method for carrying out a transaction according to claim 1, wherein the radiofrequency communications have at least one frequency greater than or equal to 2400 MegaHertz and less than or equal to 2483.5 MHz.

5. The method for carrying out a transaction according to claim 1, wherein the method further comprises following steps:

e) generation, by the sales apparatus, of a cookie for the sale,

f) communication, by the sales apparatus, of the cookie to a remote electronic device and

h) generation, by the remote device, of a bill from at least the received cookie.

6. A method for verifying the purchase of a product via a mobile telephone, the method comprising the following steps:

i) carrying out a method for performing a transaction according to claim 3,

j) transferring the proof of purchase from the mobile telephone to a verification apparatus by radiofrequency communication.

k) authentication by the verification apparatus of the signature of the proof of purchase.

7. The method for carrying out a transaction according to claim 6, the method further comprising the steps of:

j1) transferring the identifier from the mobile telephone to the verification apparatus, and

k1) computation, by the verification apparatus, of an identifier computed from the signature,

the authentication step

k) comprising a comparison of the computed identifier and the received identifier.

9. A computer program product comprising software instructions which, when implemented by a controller, carry out a method according to claim 1.

8. A method for purchasing a product from a sales apparatus via a mobile telephone comprising a first memory and a radiofrequency communication module, the method comprising the steps of:

a1) sending, by radiofrequency communication, of an identifier of the mobile telephone to the sales apparatus,

d1) reception, by the mobile telephone, by radiofrequency communication, of a proof of purchase comprising an authentication signature, and

l) storage of the proof of purchase in the memory of the mobile telephone, the proof of purchase being a transportation title.

10. A sales apparatus, able to:

receive, by radiofrequency communication, an identifier of a mobile telephone,

identify the mobile telephone from the received identifier,

compute an authentication signature, and

generate a proof of purchase comprising the computed signature, the proof of purchase being a transportation title.
