Abstract
A system and device allowing for an inexpensive smartcard terminal is disclosed, particularly where more than one scheme is required to be supported. Remote terminals,receive smartcards,and establish a communication link,with a base station. Each remote terminal uses a scheme independent application,to interface with the smartcard,the base terminal includes the necessary terminal applications,a scheme selector,and establishes links to host systems,This arrangement allows for reduced complexity and cost in the remote terminals, while allowing for multiple and/or complex applications to be supported.
