What is NFC ?
NFC is an exciting new technology, that puts together the more useful features of barcodes, RFID (radio frequency identification), contactless smart cards, and mobile computing.
Just wave a NFC-enabled mobile phone over a NFC Tag, or put the NFC Tag on your desktop or laptop’s NFC reader, to access new services in the blink of an eye : browse the web without keyboard, update your status on your instant messaging software, tell friends where you are, publish your mood in your social network pages, launch your favorite applications, etc…
What are NFC Tags and SmartPosters ?
NFC Forum, the international taskforce in charge of specifying NFC usages, has chosen 4 families of RFID chips that are suitable to store NFC-related data. Once such a chip has been personalized by valid NFC data, it is called a NFC Tag.
A SmartPoster is a specific kind of NFC Tag (actually, the most interesting and the most used kind of NFC Tags) that stores two fields : a Title and an Action field. When the SmartPoster is read by the NFC device, the user is prompted with the Title, and if he/she confirms, the Action is performed.
There’s virtually no limit on what a SmartPoster’s Action could be : launch a web browser and go to specified URL, send an SMS or an email message, start downloading interactive content or get connected to a Wifi access point.
How does NFCWizard work ?
NFCWizard uses a small Java applet, that runs in your web browser, to communicate with the NFC Tag to be read or written, through your PC/SC contactless smartcard reader. You must accept the installation of the applet to have the feature work.
NFCWizard respect your privacy and the confidentiality of the projects you’re working on. Once the applet has been installed, NFCWizard runs in your browser as a standalone application (written in JavaScript) into your web browser. No exchange is performed with our server, unless you choose explicitly to save your project for later use.
