Near Field Communication (NFC)

What is NFC


Simply speaking, it is a technology that combines the funtion as a RFID tag and the function as a RFID reader! NFC defines three communication modes: peer-to-peer mode, read/write mode, and NFC card emulation mode. 

Standards
  • ISO/IEC 14443 : Identification cards, Contactless integrated circuit cards, Proximity cards
  • ISO/IEC 18092 : NFCIP-1 (NFC Interface Protocols) http://www.nfc-world.com/en/about/ 참고
  • JIS X 6319-4 : FeliCa
  • ISO/IEC 15693 : Vicinity cards
