METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR EXECUTING A NFC TRANSACTION SUPPORTING MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS AND MULTIPLES INSTANCES OF A SAME APPLICATION

摘要

A method for executing a contactless transaction of near field type, including: establishing a near field communication between a near field transaction terminal and a processor, transmitting a command associated with an application identifier of the terminal to the processor. The operating system of the processor searches in a table for an instance identifier corresponding to the application identifier appearing in the command, and associated with a state indicator specifying that an application instance having the instance identifier is in an activable state, and activates the application instance having the instance identifier found in the table, by transmitting the command thereto, the application instance once activated executing a near field transaction with the transaction terminal.
