Electronic Entity Resource Status Query via Contactless Module
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for data exchange between electronic devices using contactless modules, such as NFC, do not efficiently provide resource state information, like user interface availability, before application execution, potentially leading to transaction time exceedance in applications like banking.
Innovation Solution
A method where an electronic entity requests, receives, and stores resource status information, allowing immediate availability for applications, involving transmission through a contactless module to a processor, and subsequent invocation of a programming interface to read the stored information during or before application execution.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If resource status information is obtained during application execution, then the application can use current resource state, but the maximum transaction time is exceeded
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by obtaining and storing resource status information before the application is executed. The electronic entity retrieves resource status information from the electronic device at the beginning of the session, stores it locally, and makes it available for subsequent application execution without causing time exceedance during the actual application run.
2Loss of time
If resource status information is obtained before application execution, then transaction time is reduced, but the information may become outdated during application use
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by obtaining and storing resource status information before the application is executed. The electronic entity retrieves resource status information from the electronic device at the beginning of the session, stores it locally, and makes it available for subsequent application execution without causing time exceedance during the actual application run.
3Reliability
If the electronic entity continuously monitors resource status, then resource state accuracy is maintained, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies periodic action by obtaining resource status information at specific intervals rather than continuously. The electronic entity retrieves resource status information at key moments such as session initiation or application selection, rather than maintaining continuous monitoring, thereby reducing energy consumption while still providing timely resource state information.
4Use of energy by moving object
If resource status information is obtained late in the process, then energy consumption is reduced, but the application may exceed maximum transaction time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by obtaining and storing resource status information before the application is executed. The electronic entity retrieves resource status information from the electronic device at the beginning of the session, stores it locally, and makes it available for subsequent application execution without causing time exceedance during the actual application run.

AI summary
The invention concerns a method for consulting, by an electronic entity (EE), the status of a resource (S, K) of an electronic device provided with a contactless module (CLF) and the electronic entity (EE), comprising the following steps: - transmission, by the electronic entity (EE), of a resource (S, K) status request; - reception of a piece of resource (S, K) status information in response to said request; - storing of the resource (S, K) status information (INF); - execution of at least a part of an application (APPL) by a processor of the electronic entity (EE); - calling, as a result of the execution of the application (APPL), of a programming interface (API), resulting in the reading of said piece of stored resource (S, K) status information. An associated electronic entity and electronic device provided with such an electronic entity are also proposed.
