Application: Near-field communication device (Patent ID: US20240086891A1)

The patent filed by STMicroelectronics NV describes a method for a near-field communication device to detect the presence of another device within range and initiate a near-field communication between the two devices. If the initiation of the near-field communication fails, the method involves initiating a contactless bank transaction between the devices instead. The method can be implemented using an integrated circuit in a near-field communication device, such as a cell phone, and is designed to facilitate secure and efficient communication between devices.

Additionally, the method includes steps for verifying the compliance of the second near-field communication device with certain technical specifications before exchanging data frames for near-field communication. If the second device does not comply, a contactless bank transaction is initiated instead. The method also involves detecting whether the second device is a contactless payment device and launching a contactless bank payment application if necessary. This approach ensures that secure transactions can be carried out between devices, such as contactless payment cards or smartphones supporting contactless payment systems, in a reliable and efficient manner.
