Patents Todd Carper, President of TEC Solutions, Inc. has been awarded the following patents which may be viewed online via the US Patent Office web site. Click on the title to view the entire patent at the US Patent Office web site. 1. System and method for facilitating multiple applications on a smart card A system and method for facilitating the operation of multiple applications on a smart card are disclosed. One application may call another application, or leave a message for it. Applications are initialized, de-initialized (fully or partially), and re-initialized to accomplish inter-application operability. The present invention provides a system and method for patching ROM based programming in a smart card. By means of a ROM management record and a ROM management record address indicator, patch code downloaded to and installed in read/write memory may be used to completely replace ROM based programming code. 3. System and method for installing/de-installing an application on a smart card A set of related routines allows an application to be securely installed on, or de-installed from a smart card or other portable token. The capabilities of a true operating system on the smart card are used to facilitate installation/de-installation. 4. Smart card memory management system and method A system and method for memory management in a smart card are disclosed. The memory manager, preferably part of a true operating system, is the single device by which memory in the smart card is allocated and deallocated. Memory allocation for new data objects and memory deallocation as the result of data object deletion are made by reference to a memory management record, preferably a bitmap, which is stored in RAM and formed upon smart card initialization. |
