Abstract
A method and device for adapting a communication from a mobile terminal equipped with a near-field communication module. The mobile terminal is able to be placed in NFC mode or in IBC mode to carry out contactless transactions. It is able to receive a message in an electromagnetic field over a near-field channel. The method includes, on the mobile terminal, the following steps: receiving, from a terminal placed in read mode, called the reader terminal, a message inviting to open communications according to a type of near-field communication; detecting a type of near-field communication in the received invitation message; if the type of communication indicates an IBC communication, and the mobile terminal is placed in IBC mode, sending a pairing request over a return channel distinct from the near-field channel.
