Abstract
A mobile electronic device (1) comprises a data store (11), a transceiver (13) for wireless data exchange with another electronic device (2), and a processor (12) connected to the transceiver (13) and the data store (11). The processor (12) is programmed to implement a virtual card reader (121) which is configured to communicate with a smart card module (122, 20) that is arranged in the mobile electronic device (1). The virtual card reader (121) is implemented as a program running on processor (12). At least one smart card module (122) is a virtual card implemented as a program running on the processor (12). The virtual card reader (121) 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.
