Near-field Communication (NFC)

Near Field Communication (NFC)

Near field communication (NFC) is a set of standards for smartphones and similar devices to establish radio communication with each other by touching them together or bringing them into proximity, usually no more than a few inches. Near Field Communication (NFC) is one of the short range wireless communication technologies based on RFID. NFC provides secure and inherent communication between el...

Technological Diffusion of Near Field Communication (NFC)

Near Field Communication (NFC) is increasingly being employed in modern consumer devices and until now it has been used for mobile payments. However, on further investigation there are other areas where NFC has a key role. Recent developments in Medical and ticketing based NFC applications show promise for being the so called “Catalyst” for NFC’s integration. The objective of this research was ...

NFC Loyal for Enhancing Loyalty Services Through Near Field Communication

Near Field Communication (NFC) as an emerging technology is currently leveraged by large standardization efforts and tries to find a suitable ecosystem. NFC enabled mobile devices with integrated smart cards introduce compelling opportunities and new business models. Development of new standards such as secure element (SE), smart card, secure channel, as well as JavaCard enables creating new ec...

Touch and Run with Near Field Communication (NFC)

In this paper, we explore new ways in which Near Field Communication (NFC) can be used on smart phones. NFC allows for contextual application invocation (CAI)—the execution of code on the phone as a result of our environment. We can launch applications because of contextual information we learn from another transaction on our phone, or we can associate context with a virtual token to recall at ...
