SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING NEAR FIELD COMMUNICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18359508 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING NEAR FIELD COMMUNICATIONS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes methods and systems for enabling Near Field Communications (NFC) on an Android mobile device.
- The mobile device is equipped with software that determines if it should perform an NFC communication with a contactless payment terminal (CPT) using a secure element associated with an NFC controller.
- The software enables the mobile device to establish communication with the CPT using the NFC controller.
- The invention focuses on providing secure NFC communication between the mobile device and the CPT.
- The disclosed methods and systems are specifically designed for Android mobile operating systems.
- The software is executed by one or more processors within the mobile device.
- The invention aims to enhance the functionality and security of NFC-based contactless payments on Android mobile devices.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods and systems are disclosed for providing Near Field Communications. In certain embodiments, an Android mobile operating system based mobile device is configured with software that, when executed by one or more processors, determines whether the mobile device is to perform an NFC communication with a contactless payment terminal (CPT) using a secure element associated with an NFC controller included in the mobile device. Based on the determination, the mobile device is configured to execute software that performs communications with the CPT using the NEC controller.
