Patent ID: 8078226

Claim:
An apparatus comprising: a circuit board having a first principal surface and a second principal surface on opposite sides of the circuit board; a first set of electrical contact pads on the first principal surface arranged to electrically connect with a mobile phone smart card, such that the first set of electrical contact pads communicates data of the mobile phone smart card for wireless and contactless communication; a second set of electrical contact pads on the second principal surface arranged to electrically connect with a smart card socket of a mobile phone, such that the second set of electrical contact pads communicates data with the smart card socket of the mobile phone for wireless communication; and a third set of electrical contact pads arranged on the circuit board to electrically connect with a contactless communication antenna external to the circuit board, such that the third set of electrical contact pads communicates data with the contactless communication antenna supporting contactless communication, wherein contactless communication is over distances shorter than wireless communication.
