| − | Nfc Devices Services Current mobile phones are equipped with another technology that would allow owners to communicate, share information, and even pay bills using their smart phones. Experts predict that phones will be used for other purposes other than allowing two or more people to talk. It is because current phones are now equipped with technology that could read and interpret information from other devices. Some phone brands today allow owners to manage their bills, acquire and share information, and even meet people using their devices. This trend is possible through the technology known as NFC or Near Field Communication. This technology turns phones into an information reader and sharer.

| − | What is NFC and how it Works
| |
| − | NFC or Near Field Communication is system that allows your device to communicate or exchange data with other NFC enabled electronics. Communication is possible through electromagnetic radio fields. The system is similar to Bluetooth or Wi-Fi since it allows transfer or exchange of data wirelessly. RFID is another system that is close to what NFC does but the latter must be close to other NFC devices for the technology to work.

| − | Communication or sharing of information is achieved in two ways?passive and active.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Passive devices like an NFC tag contain data which other devices can read. For instance, magazines with tags containing additional readings which are only accessible to smart phone users with NFC scanners.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The other type is active which are electronic devices which can extract information from a passive NFC. In the example given earlier, the active NFC system is available in the smart phone. The phone is equipped with a system that can acquire data from the passive barcode in the magazine. What?s great about devices with active NFC system is that you can also share the acquired information. You can even alter the information if the programming allows you to do so.

| − | NFC Technology on Android Devices
| |
| − | Android users can now enjoy the NFC technology because the platform allows NFC data to be acquired and shared.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Select phones from known brands like Samsung, LG, HTC, and Sony are fitted with NFC technology so users can utilize their phones to pay for their bills or to send information to other devices with NFC system. Other function of NFC on android includes interpreting data from a passive tag. Downloading an android NFC reader app from the Google Play Store will also transform your phone into a scanner. Simply download and install the app and start using your phone to scan passive codes and share the information to other NFC device users.

| − | At present, you can now identify or track a person, animal, or object using a wireless non-contact system. The state of the art system is known as radio frequency identification or RFID. This technology uses radio frequency electromagnetic fields to transfer data for identification or tracking purposes. A pet with RFID tag can be located with ease using the RFID scanner. You can also view the information stored in the tag through the RFID reader.

| − | Uses of RFID
| |
| − | Currently, RFID system is widely used in different industries. Industries that rely on identification and tracking use RFID to manage their assets and inventories properly. For instance, a RFID tag can be attached to mobile phones during production so workers can easily track the progress of each model without having to manually open the device. Meanwhile farmers can now easily identify their farm animals individually because each tag can be written or stored with specific information. For instance, if a farmer maintains hundreds of cows he can immediately identify his prized bull by simply using the RFID scanner to scan the animalÕs location.

| − | Meanwhile, individuals can now pay for their items without using actual money or even credit card. Device such as mobile phones equipped with RFID tags can transfer payment wirelessly. It is now possible to turn ordinary mobile phones into devices capable of transferring payment and also as RFID reader. The chip is wired directly to your bank information so you can use your phone to pay for stuff so you wonÕt have to carry money or credit card anymore. Since the tag can store sensitive details, enhanced security features are added to secure your information. You need to input your password or pin before releasing any valuable information.

| |
| − | Nowadays, you can use the technology even to track or identify minimum number of items or in a small scale at a fraction of the cost.
