The increasing number of mobile vendors releasing NFC-enabled devices to the market and their prominent adoption has moved this technology from a niche product to a product with a large market-share. NFC facilitates natural interactions between digital world and physical learning environments. The scaffolding of learning ecologies is a key aspect for lifelong learners in their challenge to inte...

Recently, smart devices for various services have been developed using converged telecommunications, and the markets for near field communication mobile services is expected to grow rapidly. In particular, the realization of mobile NFC payment services is expected to go commercial, and it is widely attracting attention both on a domestic and global level. However, this realization would increas...

This study presents a new evolutionary learning algorithm to optimize the parameters of the neural fuzzy classifier (NFC). This new evolutionary learning algorithm is based on a hybrid of bacterial foraging optimization and particle swarm optimization. It is thus called bacterial foraging particle swarm optimization (BFPSO). The proposed BFPSO method performs local search through the chemotacti...

Attendance Management System (AMS) is the easiest way to keep track of attendance for community organisations for day-to-day monitoring of attendance and manpower analysis. AMS comes in four types. These are Manual, Biometric, Card-based or ECommerce systems. This paper presents the implementation of an AMS that is based on Bluetooth and NFC technologies in a multiuser environment. It uses fing...

A novel concept of neural force position control in cartesian space NFC was developed and applied The NFC concept for a DOF industrial robot with DOF sensor forces torques is based on a cycle time of only msec NFC features include Sensor and trajectory data processing in cartesian space Learned mapping operations for force kinematics and dynamics with neural networks Singularity robust ness in ...

The recent NFC technology is not only valid for payment and ticketing, a new interaction form is also available. With the only action being to put a mobile phone close to another NFC device (reader, tag or mobile phone) it is possible to get a contactless communication supported by a server or not. Some services such as open doors, location, access, presence, and so on, can be performed with a ...

Near Field Communication (NFC) wurde in erster Linie für das mobile Bezahlen entwickelt. Doch es sind weit mehr Anwendungsfälle denkbar: Denn mit NFC Tags können Objekte eindeutig identifiziert und mit dem Internet vernetzt werden. Die Konnektivität zum Internet kann vorerst über ein NFC-fähiges Mobiltelefon hergestellt werden. Bei zunehmender Verbreitung NFC-fähiger Mobiletelefone könnten Hers...

Though NFC mobile payment offers both convenience and benefits to consumers, its adoption rate is still very low. This study aims to explore the factors determining consumers’ adoption of NFC mobile payment. In this study, building on TAM, an extended adoption intention model is developed by incorporating three sorts of variables into it, namely mobile payment system factors (compatibility and ...

Resumen. NFC (Near Field Communication, Comunicación de campo cercano) es el resultado de la integración de distintas tecnologías, tales como RFID, tarjetas inteligentes y de comunicación inalámbrica, lo cual le brinda una ventaja evidente al ser compatible con las mismas. Actualmente se ha vislumbrado la potencialidad de esta tecnología y el desarrollo de aplicaciones NFC está incrementando co...

Two NFC-based interactions are described in the paper. The first interaction technique is referred to as Touch & Connect: a process by which an NFC tag is used to rapidly pair a mobile device with a computer. The second interaction technique is referred to as Touch & Select, and considerably extends the Touch & Connect concept by allowing the use of an NFC-enabled mobile phone to directly touch...
