  3. What is NFC? • Near field Communications (NFC) is the name given to a short range wireless communication protocol covering a distance of 2-5cm • NFC chips in devices enable data to be exchanged (e.g. contact details) by bringing the devices within range, or touching them together • NFC is compatible with, and incorporates a range of existing RFID standards providing interoperability with contactless payments and ticketing infrastructure.

  4. NFC Consumer Applications • NFC phones have many applications across multiple sectors: • Transport & ticketing • Events & leisure • Retail • Payments • Telecoms & media • Social networking & more • Some examples: • Faster contactless payments • Collect/redeem vouchers • Rate/review products & services • Purchase goods from a smart poster • Access control & virtual queuing • Obtain local info

  5. NFC Smart Posters • A poster combined with an RFID tag becomes “Smart” • RFID tags can store up to a few KB of data: • URL • Promotion data • Location data • Security data • The RFID tag provides a link to the internet from the physical world: • Touch phone to tag to connect to URL • Tag authenticity can be verified by phone application • Browse URL, get info, sign up/login, purchase goods, get vouchers etc • Limitless applications

  6. Example Use Cases Download media content from poster Send links to friends Purchase a product from a poster

  7. NFC: Competing Technologies • There are currently four ways that a person can obtain virtual information from a physical advertisement: • Phone number / e-mail address / URL • Cheap to deploy as part of print image • Impulse response is lost, majority are forgotten • SMS Message to a short-code • Long range (users don’t need to be within arms reach) • Compact (no tags, just text characters) • Cost can be high, many users weary of hidden charges & spam • Has to be remembered if no coverage (eg on tube) • Bluecasting • Bluetooth widely adopted in Handsets • Intrusive, invasion of privacy, costly to deploy • Scan/snap barcode • Most handset have hi-res screen and camera • Time consuming, unreliable, specialist scanners

  8. NFC Technology Advantage • NFC compliments existing SMS marketing campaigns • a cheaper, more convenient and more novel service discovery channel • Simple user experience • touch & follow instructions • Inherent security • Can be enhanced further with tag-level security • NFC gives the user control • Users must physically opt in to get data (or Blue-cast) • NFC/RFID infrastructure • Can work with existing readers & cards • With secure element can store ‘virtual’ payment/loyalty cards

  9. NFC Consumer Research • Glue4 funded an NFC usability trial with our partner Foolproof • Two focus groups: • Early adopters of technology • Late adopters of technology • In-depth Interviews: • 8 people of varying experience with technology • Respondents were given Nokia 3220 phones with the Glue4Touch NFC application installed and a variety of smart poster scenarios to play with • Overall response was very positive • Biggest concerns were security and cost. Some were worried that data could be extracted from the phone without their knowledge. Estimates of how much it would cost to touch a poster varied widely. Education essential. • Users like the idea of collecting data on their phone (e.g. product info) for later consideration
