1. A method for setting one of payment instruments stored in a smart card, as a primary payment instrument to make a payment, the method comprising:
- receiving, by the smart card, a control request from a user equipment physically separated from the smart card through a communication link established between the smart card and the user equipment, wherein the user equipment is one of a smart phone, cellular phone, a mobile device, a handheld computer, a laptop, a tablet personal computer (PC), a pad-like device, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a portable multimedia player (PMP), and a navigation device;
changing, by the smart card, priorities assigned to payment instrument applets each representing a respective payment instrument by activating a predetermined applet stored in the smart card in response to the received control request; and
setting, by the smart card based on the changed priority, one of the payment instrument applets as a primary payment instrument applet that provides information on an associated payment instrument to a payment terminal in response to a payment request.

8. A method for controlling, by a smart card, a plurality of payment instruments stored in the smart card, the method comprising:
-
detecting, by the smart card, a control request generated by a user equipment physically separated from the smart card when the user equipment recognizes one of a tapping operation and a tagging operation made on the smart card, wherein the user equipment is one of a smart phone, cellular phone, a mobile device, a handheld computer, a laptop, a tablet personal computer (PC), a pad-like device, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a portable multimedia player (PMP), and a navigation device; activating, by the smart card, a predetermined applet in response to the detected control request; changing, by the activated predetermined applet stored in the smart card, priorities of payment instrument applets, stored in the smart card and each storing information on an associated payment instrument; and setting, by the smart card, a payment instrument applet having a highest priority as a primary payment instrument applet. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A smart card comprising:
-
an input/output circuit configured to receive a control request from a user equipment physically separated from the smart card when the user equipment detects a predetermined single operation made on the smart card, wherein the user equipment is one of a smart phone, cellular phone, a mobile device, a handheld computer, a laptop, a tablet personal computer (PC), a pad-like device, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a portable multimedia player (PMP), and a navigation device; a memory configured to store a plurality of payment instrument applets each assigned with a priority and information on an associated payment instrument, a setup applet, and a management applet; and a processor configured to activate at least one of the setup applet and the management applet in order to change the assigned priority of at least one payment instrument applet stored in the smart card in response to the control request and to set a payment instrument applet having a highest priority as a primary payment instrument applet. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
