Book excerpt: Near Field Communication (NFC) is a contactless and wireless technology that can transfer data across a short distance. It provides a simple way to distribute, retrieve and exchange data with mobile devices. It is based on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology. It is an innovative technology that has not yet been widely adopted. However, when consumers fully understand the benefits of using this technology, NFC will transform not only the marketing landscape, but also our everyday lives. Many business opportunities will be created in this process. This book is divided into five chapters: - What is NFC?: A technological overview with examples and technical summaries - How to Use NFC: Brief summaries that describe the use of NFC phones/tags/wallet and a technological overview of the two communication modes, three operating modes and NFC secure transactions - Who are the NFC Players?: Summary of the NFC ecosystem and various standard groups - Where is NFC Now?: Examples of use cases that demonstrate recent NFC applications in retail environment, gaming, media and advertising, furniture, electronic pairing and mobile payment. - Why Use NFC?: A summary of the value of NFC technology and a comparison with other wireless connectivity technologies This book is written for people who are interested in learning about NFC and want to explore what is possible for this technology. This includes application (app) developers, business executives, entrepreneurs, innovators and consumers who adopt new technology. It may be especially useful for executives who are responsible for making decisions about NFC projects. For a quick general overview of the technology, see the introduction section of each chapter.

Koichi Tagawa, Chairman of NFC Forum, commented on the previous release of "Everyone NFC" "Your book is great for helping people to learn the fundamentals of NFC. Also, the broad, prioritized coverage of key points about NFC is something that really impressed me. I hope your book will drive consumers and companies to do more with NFC, to the extent that all devices in the world will carry NFC."

Download or read book Everyday Nfc Third Edition written by Hsuan-Hua Chang and published by Coach Seattle, Incorporated. This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Near Field Communication (NFC) is a technology that enables wireless data transfer in close proximity without the need for internet connection. It was approved as an ISO/IEC standard in 2003, and the first NFC-enabled phone was released in 2006. However, the technology has been experiencing slow adoption, especially in the USA. NFC technology has been evolving quickly since the 2nd edition of this book was published in October 2014. My book is still selling. Whenever a person purchases my book, it encourages me to work more diligently on the latest edition in order to update my readers with developments. You, the reader, are my inspiration. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. The third edition of "Everyday NFC" covers recent NFC use cases, NFC technical fundamentals, the NFC mobile payment landscape, and its impact on the IoT and Industry 4.0 through the rapid advancements in technology. The information in this edition is new as of November 2017. Koichi Tagawa, Chairman of NFC Forum, commented on the previous release of "Everyone NFC" "Your book is great for helping people to learn the fundamentals of NFC. Also, the broad, prioritized coverage of key points about NFC is something that really impressed me.

Download or read book Near Field Communication written by Sheli McHugh and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-05-31 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Near Field Communication is a radio frequency technology that allows objects, such as mobile phones, computers, tags, or posters, to exchange information wirelessly across a small distance. This report on the progress of Near Field Communication reviews the features and functionality of the technology and summarizes the broad spectrum of its current and anticipated applications. We explore the development of NFC technology in recent years, introduce the major stakeholders in the NFC ecosystem, and project its movement toward mainstream adoption. Several examples of early implementation of NFC in libraries are highlighted, primarily involving the use of NFC to enhance discovery by linking books or other physical objects with digital information about library resources, but also including applications of NFC to collection management and self-checkout. Future uses of NFC in libraries, such as smart posters or other enhanced outreach, are envisioned as well as the potential for the "touch paradigm" and "Internet of things" to transform the ways in which library users interact with the information environment. Conscious of the privacy and security of our patrons, we also address continuing concerns related to NFC technology and its expected applications, recommending caution, awareness, and education as immediate next steps for librarians.

Download or read book Ambient Intelligence Perspectives written by Peter Mickulecký and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ambient Intelligence Perspectives contains selected papers from the first international Ambient Intelligence Forum AmIF 2008 in Hradec Kraacute;loveacute;, Czech Republic. The forum is intended as the beginning of a series of rather broadly oriented discussion opportunities for discussing interdisciplinary, if not transdisciplinary aspects of rapidly evolving areas of Ambient Intelligence. Its aims were to review and discuss recent advances and promising research trends in AmI technology, intelligent environments, methods, middleware development, as well as applications in areas such as healthcare, product lifecycle and transport services. The intention to provide an opportunity of a very broad interaction among a wide rank of A01s coming from different surroundings means a great enrichment to all participants and gives ground to the success of the conference. Finally it led towards an interesting choice of three invited and twenty-five contributed papers, which are published in this book. All papers were carefully reviewed by the international program committee. Participants from twelve countries contributed to the scientific program and established a fruitful discussion atmosphere.
