Near Field Communication

An overview

Imagine A CELL PHONE:

THAT PAYS YOUR SUBWAY FARE, THAT GETS YOU THROUGH TICKETLINES FASTER, THAT RECEIVES AUTOMATIC DATA FROM A BUSINESS CARD, THAT CAN BE USED AS AN ENTRANCE TICKET, THAT STARTS A WEBSITE WITH A TOUCH, THAT GIVES YOU ACCESS TO YOUR HOTEL ROOM THAT IS WHAT NEAR FIELD COMMUNICATION IS ABOUT

Near Field Communication (NFC)

Mobile RFID or Near Field Communication extends the mobility of field force personnel and consumers by integrating RFID reader and tag technology to a familiar portable device.

Simply by touching an RFID tag the user can initiate tasks in ones phone.

What is Near Field Communication?

NFC is a unique wireless technology enabling easy, intuitive and convenient interaction with electronic devices NFC changes the way information and services are distributed, discovered and accessed by the connected consumer NFC builds on Philips & Sonys technology, expertise, industry alliances and Philips market leadership in contactless chip solutions NFC has created major interest in the industry

History Near Field Communication (NFC)

On 5th September 2002 Sony and Philips announced that they started to develop a new near field radio-frequency communication technology (NFC). It enables short range , ars communication networks between consumer devices. ye

NFC in (technical) detail

The intuitive link between consumer devices Near Field Communication (NFC) enables the user to exchange all kinds of information, in security, simply by bringing two devices close together. Its short-range interaction over a few centimeters greatly simplifies the whole issue of identification, as there is less confusion when devices can only "hear" their immediate neighbors. NFC a virtual connector NFC can be used for quickly establishing other types of wireless communication between devices, acting as a virtual connector. Once two devices are in close vicinity, it can invisibly configure and initialize other wireless protocols such as Bluetooth and 802.11 (e.g. Wi-Fi), enabling devices to communicate at longer ranges or transfer data at higher rates. In an environment rich with wireless-enabled devices, NFC is the easy way to set up connections without needing to go through complicated menus. NFC the unique link to the contactless smart card world NFC also offers a unique link to the contactless smart card world. Being compatible with the broadly established infrastructure based on ISO 14443 A, i.e. Philips MIFARE technology, as well as Sonys FeliCa card used for electronic ticketing in public transport and for payment applications. The reason for this is that NFC devices can operate in an active or passive mode, enabling communication with a wide variety of passive devices, like contactless smart cards or RF transponders. This feature also allows mobile devices to communicate in passive mode, saving power and extending their battery life.

Case NFC Mobile Ticketing

NFC Overview and Vision 1.0 - Copyright LogicaCMG

17

NFC Example: Mobile Payment / Ticketing

User holds their mobile phone close to the ticket kiosk to initiate a transaction.

User interacts with the service and then completes the purchase by confirming the transaction on their mobile phone.

Arriving at the concert hall, the user simply holds his mobile phone close to a reader fitted to the entrance turnstile, which allows access after checking the validity of the ticket.

NFC Example: Business Travel

A traveler books tickets from home, storing the tickets on his mobile phone

He checks in automatically at the airport; the check-in terminal issues a boarding pass for the plane. Arriving at the destination, the traveler checks in at the hotel using the reservation details stored on his mobile phone and stores the room access code on the phone for later use. Rental cars, train tickets and taxies could also be paid for using this convenient technology.

What can we offer? Next steps

LogicaCMG believes that the use of Mobile phones will expand enourmously the comming years. New technology like NFC will enable all kind of applications on mobile phones. LogicaCMG is looking for innovative partners to jointly develop and test these prommissing technologies. Partners with a view and vision to the future. Together, with the support of the NFC Forum and its members, we would like to define a pilot project.
