Royal Philips Electronics and Samsung Electronics are to deploy cellular devices that use Philips'' Near Field Communication (NFC) chip solutions, allowing users of Samsung devices to access close-range wireless content and services.
For example, the user of a Samsung mobile phone equipped with the Philips NFC technology could connect with an NFC-enabled PC or television set to transfer digital pictures or other data by simply holding the phone up to the PC or TV. This is just one example of NFC''s potential in enabling the use of touch-based interactions in the areas of consumer electronics equipment, mobile devices, PCs and also for mobile payment systems. 116.30.147.133 This article is copyright 2004 UsingRFID.com.
"Joining forces with Philips for the development of NFC-enabled devices is part of Samsung''s commitment to change the way information and services are paid for, distributed, and accessed by consumers," explained J K Shin, senior vice president of the research & development team at Samsung.
First appearances
According to Samsung, consumers will first see NFC technology appear in their most commonly used personal device: their mobile phone. With NFC, the mobile phone changes from primarily running voice applications to becoming a more personalised device that allows you to make secure payments, gain access to public transportation or secured buildings, and even store digital rights and electronic licenses. Given enough time - and appropriate standards - the mobile phone could become a point-of-sale terminal, a ticket counter, the keys to a building, a transport card, a debit and credit card, and an electronic business card.
"We envision a world of secure universal commerce and connectivity in which consumers can access and pay for physical and digital services anywhere, at any time, using any device," said Mario Rivas, executive vice president of communications businesses for Philips Semiconductors. "Philips is committed to bringing this vision of the ultimate ''connected consumer experience'' through NFC technology innovations and industry collaborations with players such as Samsung."
