Inventor: PAUL MORRIS
IPC: H04W88/02
Filed: 2011-12-01
Abstract: A near field communication (NFC) equipped device 40 such as a mobile telephone includes an NFC controller 42 and a secure element 48 for NFC data. The secure element 48 includes non-volatile memory which is used by the device 40 to store non-volatile NFC data.
