`ABSTRACT
`A method and a data carrier for contactless, in particular
`parallel, communication of a reading device with at least two
`communication-ready applications located on a portable data
`carrier. A first communication-readiness signal is generated
`for a first application and sent to the reading device, the signal
`having a first identification number that is assigned to the first
`application and indicates to the reading device the communi-
`cation readiness of said first application, and a second com-
`munication-readiness signal is generated and sent for a sec-
`ond application,
`the second signal having a second
`identification number different from the first identification
`number, which is assigned to said second application and
`indicates to the reading device the communication readiness
`of said second application. The identification numbers simu-
`late for the reading device the communication readiness of a
`data carrier in each case. The reading device thus has the
`impression of communicating with applications of two sepa-
`rate data carriers.

`DATA STORAGE MEDIUM AND METHOD
`FOR CONTACTLESS COMMUNICATION
`BETWEEN THE DATA STORAGE MEDIUM
`AND A READER
`
`FIELD OF INVENTION
`
`The present invention relates to a method for contactless
`communication of at least two applications stored on a com-
`mon portable data carrier with a leading device, and to an
`accordingly set tip data carrier. A data carrier according to the
`invention may be e.g. a contactlessly communicating chip
`card, a contactlessly communicating label, a contactlessly
`communicating identification document, a security module
`SAM (secure application module) equipped for contactless
`communication, or an electronic device, such as a mobile
`terminal with an NEC interface, equipped for contactless
`communication.
`
`BACKGROUND
`
`In the prior art (egg. Finkenzeller, Klaus: REID-Handbuch,
`Munich, 2002) there are described various contactlessly com-
`municating data carriers, for example chip cards and RFID
`transponders (radio frequency identification transponders),
`e.g. according to the standard ISO/TEC 14443. These are
`so-called proximity coupling chip cards, which are frequently
`used in the application field of ticketing, that is, as public
`transport tickets for example, The energy supply to the data
`carrier is normally effected here by the magnetic alternating
`field of a reading device. The range of such a data carrier is
`approx, 7 to 15 cm. The invention is not restricted to tran-
`sponder chip cards with such short ranges, however, but can
`also be used in connection with other contactlessly commu-
`nicating data carriers with other ranges and/or according to
`other standards. It is fundamentally also possible to use data
`carriers with their own energy source,
`When such a data carrier is brought into the response field
`of a reading device, thereby commencing its energy supply
`and putting it in an operational mode, it can receive a search
`signal emitted cyclically by the reading device and indicate its
`communication readiness to the reading device by means of a
`first response signal. As soon as the reading device has
`received this signal it starts a selection process using a so-
`called anti-collision method in order to specifically select one
`data carrier for further communication when a plurality of
`communication-ready data carriers are located in the
`response field of the reading device at the same time. How-
`ever, there are also reading devices that communicate via
`proprietary, nonstandard communications protocols and do
`not support any anti-collision methods.
`The selection of a data carrier is effected in the case of an
`anti-collision method on the basis of a unique identification
`number of the data carrier, for example a UID (unique iden-
`(pseudo-unique
`PICC_ identifier,
`tifier),
`PUPI
`PICC=proximity ICC, ICC integrated circuit card) or the like.
`For data carriers according to ISO/IEC 14443 it further holds
`that a data carrier selected for communication is addressable
`during communication via a unique session number (session-
`ID, CID) allocated dynamically by the reading device. In this
`state such a data carrier no longer responds to the aforemen-
`tioned search signals still emitted by the reading device. In
`this way the reading device can select further data carriers
`located in the response field via their unique identification
`numbers and also assign them unique session numbers in
`turn. According to ISO/IEC 14443, up to 16 data carriers can
`in this way be selected for communication at the same time
`
`a
`

`

`

`

`

`

`and addressed accordingly via 16 different session numbers.
`A command emitted by the reading device and addressed by
`means ofthe session number is then always processed only by
`the data carrier to which said session number was assigned.
`Further, it is known that a plurality of applications can be
`located on a portable data carrier at the same time and that the
`corresponding application processes can be executed concur-
`rently when an operating system providing the necessary
`mechanisms is set up on the data carrier. Concurrent execu-
`tion ofprocesses means that the latter are executed quasi at the
`same time by repeatedly toggling between different pro-
`cesses. Toggling between different processes means that said
`processes are supplied to the processor alternatingly to obtain
`actual computing time. An application process designates an
`application that is undergoing execution. In the context ofthis
`invention, both an application and the associated application
`process will hereinafter always be designated as an applica-
`tion.
`It is possible to address a plurality of different concurrent
`applications, for example via their application identifiers
`AIDs, via different logical channels. Logical channels make it
`possible to set a plurality of virtual channels in parallel via a
`single interface by the corresponding communications proto-
`cols being so designed that the addressed logical channel is
`also coded. In this way a plurality of applications on the data
`carrier can thus be addressed in parallel via the application
`identifierby specification ofthe particular channel to be used.
`The currently common protocols and the coding ofthe data
`to be transferred (APDU, application protocol data unit, a
`form of data transfer based on a command/response scheme)
`allow up to four logical channels which are codedby means of
`two special bits. However, the data carrier’s responses gen-
`erated upon acommand received from outside the data carrier
`no longer contain any information about the logical channel.
`This has the consequence that external applications desiring
`to communicate with a plurality of concurrent applications on
`a data carrier must be synchronized with each other, since an
`external application cannot decide by the response of an
`application of the data carrier whether it is the response
`expected by it or is intended for another external application.
`The management of logical channels is very elaborate for
`an operating system of the data carrier and requires a great
`amount of memory, all the more so if communication has to
`take place under secure conditions, i.e. the data belonging to
`an application are transferred in encrypted form and are pro-
`tected in general against spying by other applications.
`Problems also occur in cases wherea plurality ofpossibly
`proprietary applications that were hitherto each stored as the
`only application on a separate data carrier are now to be
`integrated on a common data carrier configured as a multiap-
`plication data carrier in addition to the above-described dif-
`ficulties in parallel communication, collisions can take place
`in the data structures, because the different applications have
`for example hitherto identified different contents on different
`data carriers by identical file identifiers FIDs that now iden-
`tify only one file on the common data carrier. It also happens
`that applications from different data carriers are to be inte-
`grated that are subject to different restrictions in the commu-
`nications parameters, such as the block length of transferable
`blocks.
`
`SUMMARY
`
`It is the object of the present invention to specify a method
`permitting contactless communication of a plurality of mutu-
`ally uncoordinated applications ofa portable data carrier with
`reading device, as well as an accordingly set up data carrier
`

`This object is achieved by a method and data carrier having
`the features of the independent claims. Advantageous
`embodiments and developments are stated in dependent
`claims.
`The present inventive method is based on the idea that, for
`at least two applications located on a portable, contactlessly
`communicating data carrier that are ready to communicate
`with a reading device, a first communication-readiness signal
`to the reading device is generated for a first of the at least two
`applications, the signal comprising a first identification num-
`ber assigned to the first of the at least two applications and
`indicating to the reading device the communication readiness
`of said first application, and a second communication-readi-
`ness signal to the reading device is generated for a second of
`the at least two applications, the second signal comprising a
`second identification number different from the first identifi-
`cation number, which is assigned to the second application
`and indicates to the reading device the communication readi-
`ness of said second application. These steps are carried out by
`an accordingly set up communication device on the data
`carrier.
`The identification numbers perform the role played in the
`prior art by the identification number (UID, PUPI and the
`like) assigned to the data carrier. The reading device can thus
`address one application of a plurality of applications located
`on a data carrier selectively and independently of the data
`carrier via the identification number. A customary reading
`device has the impression of communicating with different
`data carries.
`In this connection it is also possible that the communica-
`tion-readiness signals are generated in each case for groups of
`applications and indicate to the reading device the communi-
`cation readiness of each of the corresponding applications of
`the particular group. All applications in such a group are
`assigned the same identification number here. It is possible to
`assign each ofthe applications in a group additional selection
`information which permits the applications within a group to
`be distinguished. In this way the applications can be arranged
`in a hierarchical manner.
`When the communication of an application with a reading
`device is spoken of hereinafter, this will always mean the
`communication taking place via a communication device of
`the data carrier, whereby the reading device selectively
`addresses said application and the data directed to the appli-
`cation are passed on to said application via the communica-
`tion device of the data carrier. This holds in particular also
`when the data carrier has further communication-ready appli-
`cations located thereon, or applications that are already com-
`municating with the reading device or have already been
`suspended by the reading device after completion of commu-
`nication.
`The signals from the data carrier generated for the appli-
`cations can be ergo periodically emitted signals or specific
`response signals to search signals emitted by the reading
`device. The reading device can thus recognize which com-
`munication-ready applications are located in its response
`field even when they are stored on a common data carrier.
`Atoggle functionality present on the data carrier can toggle
`between different applications executed on the data carrier
`concurrently. In this way a plurality of applications can be
`engaged in communication with the reading device quasi
`simultaneously, whereby the toggling between said applica-
`tions permits parallel communication thereof with the read-
`ing device via the communication device. However, the com-
`munication also can take place consecutively rather than in
`parallel, adapted to the abilities of the reading device.

`The aforementioned restrictions in connection with the use
`oflogical channels cease to exist. It is possible for more than
`four applications to communicate with the reading device in
`parallel The communication device ensures that all data that
`are sent to the data carrier by the reading device are processed
`only by the addressed application. It ensures in particular that
`all data emitted to the reading device by the data carrier are so
`constituted that the reading device can assign them uniquely
`to one application,
`Finally, there results the advantage that a plurality ofappli-
`cations can be integrated on a common data carrier indepen-
`dently of each other and without having to be mutually coor-
`dinated, since toggling between the applications allows each
`ofthe applications to have its own data structures, for example
`a file system, and its own software means, such as program
`code only used by it. Collisions with further applications
`regarding these resources are thus ruled out.
`The toggle functionality can be configured as part of the
`operating system. The toggle between different applications
`can be effected e.g. by branching. In branching, a so-called
`parent process starts a new process, the child process. Both
`processes, parent and child, use the same system resources,
`such as working memory. A toggle can, on the other hand, e.g.
`also be effected by a context switch by means ofa dispatcher.
`Here, the particular process currently assigned to the proces-
`sor is given its own context which comprises for example
`areas in the main memory and system variables.
`The reading device selects an application for further com-
`munication by means ofthe identification number assigned to
`the application. The additional selection information option-
`ally assigned to the application can also be used for selection
`by the reading device. An application selected for further
`communication is then assigned a session number dynami-
`cally by the reading device. Via said session number the
`application can be addressed uniquely during communication
`with the reading device. Upon addressing, the session number
`is so linked in the data carrier by the communication device
`with the identification number assigned to the application and
`optionally the additional selection information that the cor-
`rect application is always addressed upon communication.
`When an application has been selected for further communi-
`cation by the reading device, said communication takes place
`subsequently without requiring any further steps, An appli-
`cation selected for further communication by the reading
`device is thus then engaged in communication with the read-
`ing device.
`According to the method, the data carrier generates com-
`munication-readiness signals for one or more applications
`located on the data carrier that have not yet been selected for
`further communication by the reading device even when one
`or more other applications have already been selected for
`farther communication by the reading device and the com-
`munication with said other applications is not yet completed.
`This is preferably also the case after one or more other appli-
`cations have already been suspended by the reading device
`after completion of communication. A further activity of the
`application suspended by the reading device on the data car-
`rier, separately from the communication with the reading
`device, is still possible.
`While according to the prior art a data carrier engaged in
`communication does not respond to search signals and a
`suspended data carrier either must first be removed from the
`response field of the reading device and be brought back into
`it to be communication -ready again, or is reset by a RESET
`signal from the reading device, a reading device can establish
`contact with all communication-ready applications of the
`inventive data carrier at any time.

`The communication device controls the total communica-
`tion between the applications and the reading device and
`always knows the communication status of each application:
`communication-ready or selected by the reading device for
`further communication and thus communicating with the
`reading device or suspended by the reading device after
`completion of communication.
`The data carrier informs the reading device preferably by
`means of collision signals that communication-ready appli-
`cations that have not yet been selected for further communi-
`cation are present in the response field. Said signals, which
`are emitted during execution of the collision algorithm, can
`take the form for example of simulated collisions between a
`plurality of applications. The reading device will then emit
`search signals in parallel with the communication with other
`applications and/or after the end ofcommunication in order to
`establish contact with the applications not yet selected for
`communication.
`The communication device of the data carrier can prefer-
`ably recognize by the responses of the reading device to
`emitted communication-readiness signals whether the read-
`ing device is able to resolve a collision betweena plurality of
`applications. In this connection a termination of communica-
`tion by the reading device in case more than one data carrier
`is located in the response field of the reading device can also
`be interpreted as a response of the reading device If the data
`carrier recognizes, for example, that the reading device call
`always process only one application in its response field, the
`emission of further communication-readiness signals can be
`adapted thereto The data carrier thereafter emits a communi-
`cation-readiness signal for an application only when the read-
`ing device has completed communication with another appli-
`cation.
`The method preferably stores in a nonvolatile memory, by
`means of the communication device,
`information about
`which of the applications was last selected for further com-
`munication by the reading device. This makes it possible to
`ascertain upon reactivation of the data carrier, for example
`after an interruption of the energy supply, which application
`last communicated with the reading device, to then generate a
`communication-readiness signal first for an application dif-
`ferent therefrom, in order egg to prevent the same application
`from always being served first and other applications from
`possibly having to put up with long waiting periods or not
`being executed at all.
`The method can therefore be so designed that the reading
`device can communicate with a plurality of applications in
`parallel. The identification numbers assigned to the applica-
`tions are preferably so selected here that the reading device
`interprets them like identification numbers of different data
`carriers. The inventive method can then be carried out with
`reading devices according to the prior art without any prob-
`lems.
`In the case of reading devices expecting to communicate
`with MIFARE memory cards with memories organized in
`sectors and applications each firmly assigned to one of the
`sectors, it is possible to use the additional selection informa-
`tion as sector information. Use of the sector information
`produces a virtual sector assignment of the individual appli-
`cations that corresponds to that of a MIFARE memory card.
`In this way it is possible to emulate a MIFARE memory card
`by means of a modern data carrier), by a memory of the data
`carrier appearing to the reading device as a sectored memory
`by means of the sector information. It is preferably not rec-
`ognizable to the reading device whether a genuine MIFARE
`memory card is physically present or whether an inventive
`emulated MIFARE memory card is involved.

`Each sector of such an emulated MIFARE card has exactly
`one application stored therein . Each individual sector is
`preferably access-protected separately for a reading device
`accessing it, usually by a pair ofkeys assigned to the sector It
`is thus also possible for those applications to be stored execut-
`ably on a data carrier that were assigned to corresponding
`fixed sectors on different original MIFARE memory cards
`Those applications that were assigned to originally different
`fixed sectors are preferably then combined into groups with a
`common identification number The reading device accord-
`ingly interprets a thus configured data carrier as a multiplicity
`of MIFARE memory cards, whereby each of said MIFARE
`memory cards comprises exactly one group of applications
`that reside in pairwise different sectors. In this way the read-
`ing device can first select via the identification number a
`group of applications that correspond e.g. to the applications
`of a single original MIFARE memory card. Thereafter a spe-
`cial application which was e.g. originally firmly assigned to
`the sector 1 can be selected on the basis of the additional
`selection information in the form of the virtual sector assign-
`ment.
`The inventive data carrier can be configured in general as a
`contactlessly communicating chip card, contactlessly com-
`municating label or contactlessly communicating identifica-
`tion document, Further, it is possible that the data carrier is
`configured as a security module SAM (secure application
`module) in a device set up for contactless data transmission,
`the security module having software means for communicat-
`ing contactlessly by means of a suitable interface with the
`help of the device. A SAM is a component secured both
`mechanically and by software means which serves to store
`secret data and to execute cryptoalgorithms.
`Further, an electronic device, in particular a mobile termi-
`nal, with a contactless interface for communication with a
`reading device and with a plurality of access-protected
`memory areas on different storage media of the device can
`also be designed as an inventive data carrier. Each of the
`memory areas has all application stored therein. The memory
`areas are preferably found on one or more storage media, in
`particular secure chip cards, which are integrated into the
`mobile terminal These may be for example (U)SIM mobile
`communication cards, SD cards (secure digital memory
`cards) or EMV payment cards. EMV designates a specifica-
`tion for payment cards and is derived from “Etropay”, “Mas-
`terCard”, and “Visa”. By means of the inventive method it is
`then possible that the reading device communicates with each
`of the applications on the different secure chip cards via the
`contactless interface of the mobile terminal. The contactless
`interface is preferably configured as an NFC interface (“near
`field communication”). This permits a so-called “secure
`NEC” with a device in the role of a passive communication
`partner and with a plurality of applications stored thereon.

`To the reading device 200 the different applications of the
`inventive data carrier 100 appear to bea collection ofdifferent
`data carriers according to the prior art.
`FIG. 3 shows a flow chart of a sequence of activities in a
`second embodiment of the inventive method. The numbers
`designate, as in FIG. 2, individual method steps and states of
`individual components. The chief difference compared to the
`embodiment shown in FIG. 2 is that in the present example
`the reading device does not communicate with a plurality of
`applications by means of different session numbers at the
`same time, but with different applications in succession.
`Steps and states that are the same as those in FIG. 2 are
`designated the same way and will not be explained again.
`After emission of a search signal 300 by the reading device
`200, the communication device 70 of the data carrier 100
`generates for a first application 10 a communication-readi-
`ness signal which comprises the identification number UID1
`assigned to the application 1010, and the application 10 is
`selected for further communication by the reading device 200
`in the course of the selection process 400 by means of an
`anti-collision method. The reading device 200 is communi-
`cating 2000 with the application 10, 610, and completes this
`communication before it emits new search signals. Therebe-
`fore the application 10 must be suspended 700, for example
`by means of a DESELECT command, whereby the inventive
`data carrier still remains operational 1000 and can thus
`respond to tile next search signal 300 from the reading device
`200 with a communication-readiness signal generated for a
`second application 20 and comprising the identification num-
`ber UID2 assigned to the application 20. An analogous pro-
`cess can now follow sequentially for all applications located
`on the data carrier. FIG. 3 also shows the communication of
`the reading device with tile applications 20 and 30, 620, 630,
`The data carrier 100 is preferably set up to recognize
`whether the reading device 200 is able to handle a plurality of
`communication-ready applications located in its response
`field and to resolve any collisions occurring The data carrier
`100 evaluates for this purpose e.g. the response ofthe reading
`device 200 to communication-readiness signals emitted in
`parallel, and thereby recognizes the abilities of the reading
`device 200 for collision handling. A termination of commu-
`nication by the reading device 200 can also be considered a
`response, if for example a reading device 200 is involved that
`can fundamentally process only one data carrier in its
`response field. Ifa plurality of data carriers are then located in
`the response field, the reading device terminates all commu-
`nication with a data carrier. The data carrier 100 can thus for
`example toggle from a method according to the first embodi-
`ment to a method according to the second embodiment if the
`reading device 200 is not able to resolve collisions
`The inventive data carrier 100 possesses a further possibil-
`ity for indicating to the reading device 200 that communica-
`tion-ready applications are located in the response field, by
`the communication device 70 being able to emit signals dur-
`ing the course of an anti-collision method 400 that simulate
`the collision ofat least two data carriers for the reading device
`200. The reading device 200 will then try to establish contact
`with such applications at a later time The signal or data
`pattern emitted for simulating a collision may be e.g. a code
`violation (erg.
`ISO 14443 type A: Manchester code with
`simultaneous sending ofa “0” anda “1”) of checksum error.
`In the case of anti-collision methods with several time slots
`(erg. ISO 14443 type B: slotted Aloha method) the different
`identification numbers UID1, UID2, UIDn ofthe applications
`10, 20, 30 located on the data carrier can be emitted in differ-
`ent time slots to simul
