Abstract

The invention relates to a method for carrying out a payment transaction on a bank terminal using an electronic payment device, where the device contains at least two payment applications. The method includes a step of data communication from the device to the terminal during a transaction, which data contains at least information of a first type identifying each payment application of the device; and a step of configuring the device so that the data provides information of a first type relative to at least one disabled payment application. The invention likewise relates to the corresponding system.

Claims (18)

1. A method for carrying out a payment transaction on a bank terminal with an electronic payment device, said device comprising at least two payment applications, among which at least one payment application has a disabled status and the rest have an activated status according to EMV standard, each payment application comprising an identifier (ADF Name), said device performing steps of the method comprising:

inserting the identifiers of the disabled and activated payment applications in a Proximity Payment System Environment (PPSE) register of the device, for at least one of the payment applications, receiving, by the bank terminal and/or the electronic payment device, economic values of advantages for the use thereof and associating these values with the corresponding payment applications,

communicating data to the terminal during a transaction, said data comprising at least information of a first type identifying each enabled and activated payment application of the device,

wherein the terminal computes the respective economic advantages of using each of the enabled and disabled payment applications during the transaction and allows its selection.

2. The method according to claim 1 , comprising

making a manual or automatic selection in the terminal of a payment application according to these advantages.

3. The method according to claim 2 , comprising storing said data in a directory reserved for enabled applications.

4. The method according to claim 2 , wherein said data comprise information of a second type indicating whether a disabled application is blocked in an authorisation server.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said communicated data comprise information of a third type, said third type relating to categories of preferential advantages preselected by a user in their device.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said data communication takes place in a response of the device to a request from the terminal in accordance with the EMV standard.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said communicated data are placed in an FCI issuer discretionary data field, in a directory entries field or in an application selected registered proprietary data field.

8. A system for carrying out a payment transaction on a bank terminal with an electronic payment device, wherein the system comprises the bank terminal and the electronic payment device, said device comprising a microcontroller connected to a memory storing at least two payment applications, among which at least one payment application has a disabled status and the rest have an activated status according to EMV standard, each payment application comprising an identifier (ADF Name), and communications means to communicate information with the terminal, wherein:

the microcontroller of the device inserts the identifiers of the disabled and activated payment applications in a Proximity Payment System Environment (PPSE) register of the memory of the device,

for at least one of the payment applications, receiving, by the bank terminal and/or the electronic payment device, economic values of advantages for the use thereof and associating these values with the corresponding payment applications,

the microcontroller of the device communicates, through the communication means, data to the terminal during a transaction, said data comprising at least information of a first type identifying each payment application of the device,

wherein the terminal computes the respective economic advantages of using each of the enabled and disabled payment applications during the transaction and allows its selection.

9. The system according to claim 8 , wherein said information of the first type is placed in an FCI issuer discretionary data field or in a directory entries field or in an application selected registered proprietary data field.

10. The system according to claim 8 , comprising a banking server center and/or a merchant server center that, during a transaction, the device and/or the terminal interrogate(s) one of said server centers to obtain additional economic information or interact with these servers.
