NFC, Technologies that Make Gadgets Interact from close range Posted: 05 Jul 2011 08:38 PM PDT When we discussed the Near Field Communications (NFC) - the common name for a new technology that allows interaction between devices at close range - there are two main camps: open NFC and secure NFC. Open NFC refers to the interaction between two NFC-enabled devices, or the use of an NFC device to read a sign NGC (chips embedded in posters, cards, or other print media) to accept the content or do a thing. Secure NFC, on the other hand, refers to the use of mobile devices as a virtual wallet or credit card to make payment by way of flick over an NFC reader. NFC is currently regarded as one of the most exciting areas in this industry from the standpoint of revenue, since it is estimated there will be at 700 million NFC-enabled mobile phones were sold until 2013. But Nokia believes that the current industry focus on the secure NFC might reduce the opportunity for potential development of an open NFC. As the originator of NFC technology and one of the founders of the NFC Forum, Nokia believes that open NFC will provide a greater effect in NFC consumer behavior and ecosystem when compared with the secure NFC. Open NFC has the potential to encourage a variety of business opportunities for developers, retailers, advertisers, electronic device makers, and others. An example. With open NFC technology, you simply touch the NFC-enabled device to an NFC marks for doing things like 'check in' on certain locations, collecting points in a store, or access the website without having to type its URL. NFC signs can also be used to promote an application at any online store application. For example, rather than having to visit an online store to find an application, you simply touch a mark and instantly download the application. NFC signs that the price is very cheap, offers tremendous potential for advertisers, retailers, and other parties to reach out, give points, and keep in touch with its customers. These signs can be promoted in any location, including selling mobile phone, coffee shops, or even in supermarkets, with a quick and measurable results. And the best part is to read a sign that the NFC does not need a large infrastructure, in addition to large numbers of NFC-enabled devices on the market, and support from the marketers will sign NFC excess. In addition to reading the sign, with open NFC we can easily connect our NFC mobile phone with another, simply by touching the phone. In this way we can easily exchange content such as photos, or playing games, without having to step through a time-consuming to perform Bluetooth pairing. Angry Birds popular mobile game, for example, has had an exclusive version of the NFC for Nokia C7. 'Angry Birds Free with Magic' has hidden levels that can be opened by touching the phone with other Nokia C7, or by reading a sign NFC, which will directly connect you to the Ovi Store to download the next levels. Open NFC also allows you to connect your mobile device with speakers or NFC-enabled wireless headphones. Imagine a situation where you are, after exercising while listening to music on headphones, then go home and directly touching the phone to a NFC-enabled speakers at home. Thus, your music is not interrupted. Very many applications and new consumer electronic devices that could be developed for such situations. Is It Safe? Secure NFC, on the other hand, will be restricted to only a small number of providers, and will take time before consumer behavior change to the direction in which they will be able to and feel safe to use their phones to buy train tickets, or something else more expensive. In London, Nokia offers a secure NFC in a variety of devices working with the Oyster card (prepaid cards, among others, to use public transport) to travel by public transport. But outside the metropolises, the secure NFC will take time to become an important part of everyday activities. And when it finally reaches the secure NFC payment, hotel room keys, car keys, and even identity cards, Nokia believes there will only be a small service providers involved in it. Opening the Road to the Future Nokia, the maker of the most experienced mobile devices in the NFC with five NFC devices that have been launched. But in this industry takes a variety of key partnerships in a variety of payment organizations, banks, mobile operators, system integrators, developers community, and so forth. All have a role to the commercial success of NFC. Before that all happens, open NFC will benefit consumers in a much larger scale and the need to familiarize themselves in using their devices for the interaction of NFC, before secure NFC achieve high penetration levels. With more and more NFC phones are launched into the market in 2011 and 2012, open NFC will change the way consumers interact with each other and open up opportunities for developers. Nokia believes developers will welcome the opportunities offered by open NFC in developing applications to share information, read the sign, joining social networks, and others. And opportunities open NFC, will be achieved long before the secure NFC realized.
