Wallet phones - internet phones with smartcards
75 pages, 8 Figures, 15 Photographs, 4 Tables
Published: March 2004

The wallet phone is the next stage in the evolution of mobile phones. Wallet phones will soon become an essential part of the everyday life infrastructure. Wallet phones are pioneered by NTT-DoCoMo by combining a multi-application smart card with i-Mode phones. Wallet phones can be used as prepaid electronic cash, tickets, access control cards, authorizations to access corporate networks, membership cards for clubs and loyalty programs. Selected information, for example the remaining electronic cash balance, or some transaction records, can be directly read offline by the cell phone.


Wallet phones can contain all credit cards, entrance tickets, train tickets, air tickets, employee ID cards, and most other instruments we currently carry in our purse. Integration of multi-application smartcards into mobile phones, will make cellphones an essential part of our daily life infrastructure.
