I would also suggest something like that.

For the autoconfiguration you can ask the user to "insert" a card into
the reader the user wants to use. Then the application scans all the
readers to find the one with the (new) card and stores the reader name
in his configuration.

For example, if you have 2 contactless readers you will not know which
one is used to the user card and which one is used for the officer
card. You will need the help of the user the first time you setup the
application.


On the other hand it is possible to propose something to the PC/SC
workgroup. If I am correct you need a service to know what are the
specificity of a reader. It could be something from the (non
exhaustive) list:
- contact
  - T=0
  - T=1
- contactless
 - type A
 - type B
 - type C
 - other?
- communication speeds ?
- biometric ?

It will be difficult (and time consuming) to setup the list of all
possible features within the PC/SC workgroup. I do not plan to get any
results before 5 years :-)
