Abstract (en)

[origin: GB2542572A] A system for updating contactless smartcards and their transaction logs via NFC from a mobile device. The system may be used in public transport or paid access applications and removes the need for specific infrastructure by allowing updates via a mobile device such as a mobile telephone connected to a secure server. The mobile device communicates with an associated smartcard by means of RFID, wherein the smartcard is provided with a card-transaction log file, comprising a list of transactions having a unique identifier. The server is provided with a plurality of server-transaction log files, with one server-transaction log file for each smartcard, each server-transaction log file comprising completed transactions and pending updates related to the smartcard. The method comprising: reading the card-transaction log of the smartcard for an identifier relating to the last transaction 100, using the identifier to select and review the server-transaction log file for the smartcard to detect pending updates 300, and in case of a pending update, generating instructions on the server to update the selected contactless smartcard 400 and forwarding the instructions to the smartcard so that it is updated 500.
