1. NFC (near field communication)

NFC in brief

• a convenient way to transfer data between a phone and other devices by touching them together

• turns your phone into a smartcard

• make purchases by tapping your phone to an NFC reader

• use your phone as a travel card at an NFC ticket gate

• NFC typically works over a distance of a few centimetres

• uses a smart chip to store credit and travel card details securely

Brief Technology descriptionWhat is NFC?

• communicates via magnetic field induction and operates in the radio frequency of13.56 Mhz, with a band width of 14 kHz.

• Exchanging information between phone and a device:– an NFC credit card reader, – an NFC ticket gate – an RFID tag

• RFID (Radio-Frequency IDentification)

Compact wireless technology capable of transmitting a unique identifier such as a unique serial number across a distance in response to a query from a reading device.

The RFID tags utilized in the Security application are passive, meaning that they lack batteries and obtain their power from the query signal of the NFC reading device itself.

NFC Practical Examples

• NOKIA NFC APPLICATIONS

First test project - Security tracking

• NFC solution keeping track of security guard routes:– Last time they logged – stations where they scanned

Example of control level shown in page below of Vittoriosa waterfront.

Next Project

• Very Big brewery in Malta …

2. Functional Phones in a work environment

Common applications

A big Market for lone workers

- Future EU employment laws converging to a situation where an employer will be needed to be more responsible for the safety of their ‘lone worker’ employees.

On the job Applications

So we need a phone which has

• GPS on Board• An alarm button• Very long battery life(2 months standby)• Water proof (eg keep in the water for a

time)• Shock proof (drop on concrete)• Men Down Functions – volunteer3 messages (Freefall – impact – no motion)

Features

This phone exists!!!

...And we create the applications

Example• GPS track and trace• End to end check (Are you still alive?-10mins)• If no motion we play an audio file on the loud

speaker of the phone… “Help me! … Help me!! … Help me!!!”

• Battery check of the phone from the server- constant reminder to charge tonight

Thank you

For your attention
