Method and device for installing applications on NFC-enabled devices
The invention relates to a method for installing a target application on an NFC-enabled device, such as an NFC-enabled mobile phone. If the NFC-enabled device is unable to identify or find the target application associated with a Target Identifier (Target ID) in a received Generic Control record, a look-up table in which Target IDs are associated with target URIs from which installation files for the target applications of the Target IDs can be downloaded is used to retrieve the target URI of the Target ID in the received Generic Control record. One or several installation files for the target application are then downloaded from the retrieved target URI, whereupon the target application of the Target ID in the received Generic Control record is installed on the NFC-enabled device using the downloaded installation file(s).
