Patent ID: 10028078

Abstract:
The present document relates to Near Field Communication (NFC). In particular, the present document relates to the routing of application related information in a system comprising multiple NFC Execution environments (NFCEE). A method for identifying an application on an NFC enabled device (200) comprising a plurality of NFC execution environments (204, 205, 206, 207) is described, wherein the application is hosted by one of the plurality of NFC execution environments (204, 205, 206, 207). In one aspect an example method comprises: receiving an external request for accessing the application over an air interface (202) of the NFC enabled device (200); forwarding the request to more than one of the plurality of NFC execution environments (204, 205, 206, 207); receiving more than one response to the request from the more than one of the plurality of NFC execution environments (204, 205, 206, 207), respectively; and analyzing the more than one response to identify a positive response indicating that the application is hosted by a corresponding one of the plurality of NFC execution environments (204, 205, 206, 207).
