Problems solved by technology

[0006] In the previous use of smart cards, the disadvantage was that the user of the smart card could not exclusively use the smart card and operate a card application
Moreover, users of smart cards necessarily involve themselves in additional issues that are irrelevant to the actual use of smart cards and thus of little interest to users

Embodiment Construction

[0021] According to the current state of the art, smart card users themselves must select the card application used by the smart card they are using from among the various available applications and press figure 1 instructions to start it. For example, selection and activation using a graphical user interface. After starting the card application, it waits for a supported smart card to be inserted. After the user inserts such a smart card into a corresponding smart card reader, the card application can use the smart card.

[0022] Below, describe preferred embodiment of the present invention in detail:

[0023] As shown in FIG. 2 , a certain background program is executed on a certain terminal. The background program is an independent program on the terminal and has nothing to do with other card application programs. It waits for any smart card to be inserted in the card reader. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the daemon is implemented according to the OpenCard...

Abstract

The invention refers to a smart card with stored information which is used in executing a computer program stored outside the smart card (card application) and a procedure for operating such a card application. The stored information contains control information for the start mode of the card application. After inserting the smart card into a specific card reader, the application which is intended for use with this smart card is loaded and started automatically in a terminal. In this way the user-friendliness of the smart card is increased.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method of using a smart card with stored information which is used when executing a computer program (card application) of the smart card, and to a method of operating such a card application. Background technique [0002] Cards are known which consist of microprocessors (chips) and memory units etc. included therein. This card is also called a smart card. This type of card is used with components that have a card reader. These terminals can be, for example, personal computers or network computers (NC). [0003] In order to be able to execute the card's application, it must be explicitly initiated by the user. For example, the activation is achieved by entering a corresponding command with a computer keyboard or by clicking a corresponding icon on a graphical user interface with a computer mouse. If the user of the card enters the start command using a terminal unknown to him or using a terminal with limited facilities, s...
