Abstract:
1. Unit for command and communication between a terminal and at least one microcircuit card, wherein the unit comprises: means for piloting a plurality of input signals, including transmission and reception of characters to and from said at least one microcircuit card; means for generating a plurality of time diagrams that are based on parameters representing time constraints related to the transmission and reception of the characters according to a communication protocol of said at least one microcircuit card; means for generating character transmitting and receiving requests from information received from said means for piloting, wherein said requests are addressed to an external module; and means for generating an interruption in the event of a violation of the time constraints or on a character transmitted or received, from information received from the means for piloting, and for processing said interruption without interrupting the transmission and reception of the characters, and wherein the generation of an interruption does not interrupt generation of the character transmitting and receiving requests.
