Abstract

A method and device for controlling the execution of at least one function in a short-range wireless communication module of a mobile apparatus adapted for receiving at least one identification card. After transmitting an information request to the identification card, to obtain at least one piece of information characteristic of the identification card, an answer including at least one piece of information characteristic of the identification card is received therefrom. When the answer is identified and in response to the at least one piece of information, the at least one function is executed. An authentication request is received by the short-range wireless communication module. If the answer is authenticated, the short-range wireless communication module sends an authorization to the authentication request in response to the at least one piece of information characteristic of the identification card before the execution of the at least one function.
