Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention creates a method for enabling a terminal to determine an activated memory configuration of a storage medium that can be operated in the terminal. For this purpose an interruption and subsequent restoration of the contact existing at an interface of the storage medium between the storage medium and the terminal is—at least partly—simulated, wherein upon the simulation of the restoration or interruption of the contact the terminal is caused to determine the activated memory configuration of the storage medium.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for enabling a terminal to ascertain an activated memory configuration of a non-transitory storage medium that is operable in the terminal, the method comprising the steps: simulating an interruption of a contact between the storage medium and the terminal; simulating a restoration of the contact existing at the interface between the storage medium and the terminal, the step of simulating the restoration of the contact being performed subseq…
