Abstract
A mobile electronic device () comprises a data store (), a transceiver () for wireless data exchange with another electronic device (), and a processor () connected to the transceiver () and the data store (). The processor () is programmed to implement a virtual card reader () which is configured to communicate with a smart card module () that is arranged in the mobile electronic device (). The virtual card reader () is implemented as a program running on processor (). At least one smart card module () is a virtual card implemented as a program running on the processor (). The virtual card reader () makes it possible to access smart card modules which are implemented locally in the mobile electronic device as a virtual card, thereby enabling access to a smart card module, without requiring an external reader device.
