Patent ID: 7954723

Claim:
A method for routing data in a chipset comprising at least two host processors, a controller, and a Near Field Communication (NFC)-type contactless data send/receive interface configurable according to several operating modes and according to several contactless communication protocols, the method comprising: receiving, by the contactless data send/receive interface, data via a contactless communication channel, determining, by the controller and without analyzing the received data, the operating mode and the contactless communication protocol in which the contactless data send/receive interface received the data, determining, by the controller, a destination point in at least one of the host processors of the data, wherein the controller determines the destination point using, as criteria, the operating mode and the contactless communication protocol in which the contactless data send/receive interface received the data, and routing, by the controller to the at least one of the host processors, the data received by the contactless data send/receive interface.
