Abstract:
A method and apparatus are provided for indicating proximity between a first communications device, called a detector device corresponding to an electronic card case, and a second communications device called a device to be detected. The method is implemented in a proximity indicating module attached to the detector device. The method includes at least one iteration of the following acts: receiving at least one signal sent out by the device to be detected; determining, from the received signal, at least one indication of proximity between the device to be detected and the detector device; generating at least one sound signal and/or vibration signal representing the determined indication of proximity; and sending the generated sound and/or vibratory signal.
Abstract:
A device is provided for connecting a communications terminal. The device includes a male connector which is to be connected to a female connector of the communications terminal. Such a device includes a base to which the male connector is fixed, the base including at least one slide.
Abstract:
A method for secure viewing on a screen of an electronic terminal includes determining a mode of operation, secured or open, of the terminal; and modifying the displaying of at least one indicator representing the mode of operation of the terminal. The displaying modification is controlled by at least one secure processor of the terminal and takes into account at least one predetermined action of the user on the terminal and/or of an expiration of at least one predetermined time limit.
Abstract:
A method and device are provided for method for identifying a user for access to an article or a service. The method includes: presentation to a terminal, by the user to be identified, of a payment card; execution, by the terminal, of a payment transaction, the amount of which is zero; and when said payment transaction is executed without error, issuing an assertion of identification leading to access to the article or service.
Abstract:
A housing of a terminal is formed by at least one lower cover and an upper cover. The housing the lower cover and upper cover are fixed together in an articulated manner, the articulated fixing being able to take up at least one position closing the housing and a position opening the housing, in which the lower cover and upper cover are joined together.
Abstract:
A method for the transmission of data to a magnetic read head of a payment terminal. The method is implemented by an electronic device capable of generating a magnetic field representative of an encoding of the data to be transmitted, and the transmission of the data includes a plurality of emissions of a same sequence of standardized data. The standardized data is data representative of a payment means and is formatted according to the ISO/IEC 7813 standard. The method further includes transmitting secondary data that are emitted between two successive emissions of the sequence of standardized data.
Abstract:
A method and a payment terminal enable verification of the authenticity of a payment terminal. More particularly, a method is provided for processing a piece of initial data, carried out within the payment terminal, the payment terminal being configured to authorize a verification of its authenticity by using the piece of initial data. The method includes: obtaining at least one piece of information external to the payment terminal, called a piece of initial data; cryptographic processing of the piece of initial data, delivering a piece of processed data; visual and/or sound rendering of the piece of processed data.
Abstract:
A method is provided for managing a display of a view of an application, executed on a non-secured processor of an electronic data entry device that furthermore includes a secured processor. The application delivers at least one current view having a set of pixels to be displayed on a screen of the device. The managing is implemented under the control of the secured processor and includes: analysis of the current view, delivering at least one piece of data representing a presence of at least one suspect pattern; and, when a presence of a suspect pattern is detected within the current view, implementing by the secured processor at least one protection measure.
Abstract:
A method for processing at least one piece of payment method data, implemented within a payment terminal having a secured processor and a secured processing memory. Such a method includes: obtaining at least one piece of data representing a payment method used to carry out a transaction, called a piece of payment method data; anonymizing the piece of payment method data, delivering a piece of current anonymous identification data; and transmitting the piece of current anonymous identification data to an application for processing loyalty data.
Abstract:
A secure element integrated within a mobile communications terminal. Such an element includes: at least one first application for processing transactions, having at least one interface for communications with a communications network in a secured manner; and at least one second application for processing secured data, having at least one communications interface for communications with an executing environment of said communications terminal. The first application is able to request at least one piece of data from the second application.
