PROCESS IMPLEMENTED IN AN INTEGRATED CIRCUIT MODULE, CORRESPONDING INTEGRATED CIRCUIT MODULE, SYSTEM COMPRISING SUCH A MODULE AND CORRESPONDING COMPUTER PROGRAM

摘要

A method implemented in an integrated-circuit module including a processor accessing a non-volatile memory wherein execution-context-defining software applications to be executed by the processor for communication with a device are stored, and to access a volatile memory storing execution data of a software application currently being executed. The software applications include a first being executed and a second previously suspended, the method including, upon receiving a command from the electronic device: suspending execution of the first software application being executed including saving the content of the volatile memory in a first backup location of the non-volatile memory, stopping the execution of the first software application; and resuming the previously suspended execution of the second software application including transferring into the volatile memory, from a second backup location of the non-volatile memory, execution data relating to the previously suspended execution of the second software, and executing the second software application.
