| Abstract: | Near Field Communication (NFC) technology is based on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology and evolved by integrating with interconnect technology, which is compatible with current Contactless Smart Card. In recent years, along with the popularity of mobile devices, and the rise of smart phones, NFC technology development is focused primarily on mobile communication devices. The applications of NFC technology range widely, including mobile commerce, verification and identification systems, data connectivity, and peer-to-peer communication. When the cell phone, PDA, digital cameras, watches, computer products, and such as mobile devices or electronic devices install the NFC device, they can be certified through the ID information so that electronic devices can exchange data and services. At present it has already been applied in many fields and has developed a wide range of applications, for example, the current Taipei MRT Easy Card phone.
NFC technology allows us to integrate the cell phone with the smart card. In addition to increased functionality of mobile phones, it also increases the convenience of life. This study was to investigate that based on Android platform as a medium for NFC mobile phone, how it makes going-out shopping easier, convenient, and saving time. NFC cell phones integrated with security mechanisms of smart card IC chip will enhance the security of transactions and ease of use. The development of future hardware and software will be able to develop more safe and convenient NFC mobile phones that are available to consumers to have a new, convenient, safe, fast mobile transaction model. |
