Patent attributes
A device for contactless communication with a terminal, comprising: an antenna for communication with the terminal; an embedded chip configured to communicate with the terminal in accordance with a contactless transmission protocol whereby a message sent by the terminal sets a specified initial waiting time for a response from the embedded chip to maintain a connection with the terminal, the embedded chip being configured to communicate requests to the terminal to extend the waiting time for response; and a module configured to perform processing formed of a plurality of discrete operations, the module being configured to, in response to completing a subset of one or more discrete operations within a waiting time interval set by the terminal, send a first type of command to the embedded chip if the processing is not complete; wherein the embedded chip is further configured to, in response to receiving the first type of command, communicate a request to the terminal to extend the waiting time for response.
