Assignee: STMICROELECTRONICS (ROUSSET) SAS
Field: Telecommunications (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 8:
9. A device, comprising:
a near field communication router;
an ultra-wide band communication module coupled for data communication to the near field communication router over a first bus;
a host circuit coupled for data communication to the near field communication router over a second bus; and
a secure element coupled for data communication to the near field communication router over a third bus;
wherein the near field communication router includes routing means for controlling data exchanges between the ultra-wide band communication module and the secure element without passing through the host circuit, said routing means comprising:
a communications bus;
a first port coupling the communications bus to the ultra-wide band communication module;
a second port coupling the communications bus to the secure element; and
a third port coupling the communications bus to the host circuit;
wherein the transmission of the data exchanges is controlled so as to not pass through the third port.
