I&#8217;ve been interested in NFC ever since I heard about it, as its something <a href=\"http:\/\/biz.thestar.com.my\/news\/story.asp?file=\/2008\/4\/10\/business\/20902108&amp;sec=business\">Maxis has been trialling for a while<\/a> in Malaysia. It reminds me of rewinding back many years (maybe a decade ago?) when Celcom was trying to allow people to purchase a Coke from select vending machines, using SMS (no cash!). That never took off, but maybe NFC will be right, soon&#8230; Current limitation? Lack of devices &#8211; one in market (Nokia 6131) and another announced, but not in market. Also, the standard (JSR 257) has been extended by Nokia, which is always an issue for other implementers.<\/p>\n<p>Some quick notes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>JSR 257 is what this is all about.<\/li>\n<li>Simple wireless protocol between NFC compliant tags and devices in close proximity. New business opportunities for mobile operators, banks, retailers, transport operators, etc.<\/li>\n<li>You can share content between phones\/pair devices like Bluetooth. You can get further information by &#8220;touching&#8221; smart posters. Your phone can be your credit card for payment&#8230; it can also be your travel card.<\/li>\n<li>Service discovery. Nokia has got extensions to the JSR 257 standard for this in their implementations.<\/li>\n<li>Think outside of the box, be innovative, the technology is there, there are many use cases<\/li>\n<li>Contactless communication API has been around since 2004. RFID tag, smart card, visual tags. Java applications to access the hardware capabilities (RFID for instance).<br \/>\n&#8211; NDEF tag (RFID tag, with NFC standard)<\/li>\n<li>There is a dedicated Connection interface for different targets. You will get a notification when a transaction has happened.<\/li>\n<li>When you discover a target, the application will get a notification. It has the URL that you will open the connection with. Communicate&#8230; then close connection.<\/li>\n<li>Nokia 6131 NFC has extensions to JSR 257: get the SDK at Forum Nokia. The extension also includes the peer-to-peer communication framework. In a modified version of JSR 257, the P2P communication will exist soon as well.<\/li>\n<li>Business cards that go to NFC devices and contact details are there? Wow, this is Business Card 2.0 :)<\/li>\n<li>NFC works within less than 10cm. Its pretty &#8220;near&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Touch to share bookmark&#8221;&#8230; touch two devices together, and voila! there is instant sharing. I&#8217;m reminded of old Palm ads when they were pushing their IR technology and beaming business cards across trains between a man and a woman!<\/li>\n<li>NFC enables new consumer services with mobile devices. Take away that you should just be creative, and lots can happen.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-email\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-email sd-button share-icon\" href=\"mailto:?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20Near%20Field%20Communication%20%28NFC%29%20at%20JavaOne&body=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bytebot.net%2Fblog%2Farchives%2F2008%2F05%2F07%2Fnear-field-communication-nfc-at-javaone&share=email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to email a link to a friend\" data-email-share-error-title=\"Do you have email set up?\" data-email-share-error-text=\"If you&#039;re having problems sharing via email, you might not have email set up for your browser.
