Near Field Communication(NFC)

Near Field Communication(NFC) by philips and SONY common development is a non-contact NFC, can identify and Internet technology in mobile devices, consumer electronics products, PC and intelligent control tool room close wireless communications. NFC provides a simple and touch solutions, can let consumer to exchange information, easy access to content and services.
overview
NFC will non-contact reader and contactless CARDS and peer-to-peer (Peer to Peer) function - - integrated into a single chip, for consumer lifestyle opened countless new opportunities. It is an open interface platform, we can fast to wireless networks, active Settings, also is virtual connectors, service with existing honeycomb network, bluetooth and wireless 802.11 equipment.
NFC compatible with SONY's already extensive FeliCaTM card and A non-contact smart card framework based on ISO 14443, this framework, using A philips' MIFARE? Technology.
In order to promote the development and popularization of NFC, philips, SONY and nokia created a nonprofit industry association - NFC BBS, promote the NFC technology implementation and standardization, ensure equipment and services coordination between cooperation. At present, the NFC BBS employs more than 70 members, including: mastercard international organizations, panasonic electronic industrial Co., LTD, Microsoft, MOTOROLA, NEC corporation, renesas technology company, samsung, Texas instruments manufacturing companies and Visa international organization.
Editor's note: the world's first commercial NFC released: * Germany, mainz transportation company (RMV) on April 19, 2006, philips, nokia, Vodafone company and Frankfurt mainz area of bus network operators mainz transportation company Main Verkehrsverbund Rhein - (in) announced that successfully for 10 months after the field test, close wireless communication (NFC) technology is commercially available. At present, the Nokia already has integrated NFC phone 3,220 technology, can be used as electronic ticket, still can be in the local retail and tourist attractions as a discount loyalty card use. Ha Nao city is now just about 95.000 bits residents easily brush compatible mobile phone, you can enjoy NFC type the convenience of mobile ticketing bus.
Technology advantage
As with RFID, NFC information is radio frequency spectrum in part by the electromagnetic induction coupling between style to deliver, but there are still big difference. First, NFC is a kind of providing a comfortable, safe, rapid communication wireless connection technology, its transmission range of radio frequency identification (RFID) than RFID is small, can achieve transmission range a few meters, even a few meters, but because NFC adopted unique signal attenuation technology, relative to the distance it has NFC RFID nearly, bandwidth high, low energy consumption characteristics. Secondly, with the existing NFC non-contact smart card technology compatible, now has become main manufacturer support by more and more formal standards. Again, NFC or a close connection between devices provide various agreement, comfortable, safe, rapid and automatic communications. The rest of the world with the wireless connections, NFC compared is a close illicit close communication mode. Finally, RFID more to be used in production, logistics, tracking and asset management, and is in the NFC entrance guard, public transport, such as mobile payment within the territory of the play an important role.
Meanwhile, NFC still better than infrared and bluetooth transmission mode. As a kind of face consumer to trade mechanism, NFC faster and more reliable than infrared and without much more simple, so must be strictly to infrared aligned to transmitting data. Compared with bluetooth, NFC face close trade, applicable to exchange financial information or sensitive personal information and other important data; Bluetooth could make up for the defect that NFC communication distance, suitable for a long distance data communication. Therefore, NFC and bluetooth complementary, and common existence. In fact, quick lightweight NFC agreement can be used to guide the bluetooth pairing between two devices, promote the process of use bluetooth.
NFC chip, NFC mobile phone built-in composed part of RFID module, can regard as RFID passive tags used to pay expenses; -- Also can be used as RFID literacy device -- used for data exchange and acquisition. NFC technology support for multiple applications, including mobile payment transaction, moving to equation communications and information access, etc. Through the NFC cell phones, people can at any place and at any time, through any equipment, and they hope to get entertainment service and trading relates in together, thus finish the payment, obtain posters information, etc. NFC devices can be used as a non-contact smart CARDS, smart CARDS and equipment for reading and writing to the terminal equipment, its application in data transmission link can be mainly divided into the following four basic types: used for payment and tickets, used in electronic ticket, for intelligent media and used to exchange, transmitting data.
