7. RFID READER ON SD i/o RFID TAG RFID and wireless for cultural heritage • Wi-Art is a mobile application that provides accessible hystorical and artistic information about artworks, guiding the user during the visit around the museum through a user-friendly interface. • Wi-Art uses HF passive tags operating at 13,56 MHz, standard ISO 15693 (operative range with SD card -size reader: 0 - 10 cm). • Wi-Way is a revisited version of wi-Art for outdoor environments. It uses UHF active tags operating at 865-868 MHz, standard ISO 18000-7 (operative range 10 - 100 m) and Wi-Fi Based localization. • Wi-Art and Wi-Way were developed with the help of UCI (Italian Union of Blind Users) to be completly accessible.

8. RFID for inclusion SEcure and SAfe MObility NETwork: a mobile navigation system for blind people • four components: • a tag grid • a mobile device (and BT earpiece/headsets) • an RFID reader cane • a navigation data server • innovative and cost-effective, patented by the JRC: • the cost effectiveness is due to the recovery of RFID tags used for tracing after cattle slaughtering: these tags are then burrowed to create the grid used for navigation. RFID and The Internet Of Things, ETSI, February 2008

9. SESAMONET: how does it work? RFID and The Internet Of Things, ETSI, February 2008

10. RFID for inclusion GLove for Identification and DEscription of Objects: • a portable electronic system based on RFID technology, designed to help blind people in becoming autonomous in everyday life • composed of two connected parts: • “Electronic part” • contains: • the RFID reader module • the bluetooth module • a rechargeable battery Is always connected with “manale” via an electric wire • “Manale” • contains the antenna and: • allows to read and write RFID tags • is designed to be comfortable and wearable with only one hand RFID and The Internet Of Things, ETSI, February 2008

11. RFID for inclusion Future developments: integration between SESAMONET and GLIDEO RFID and The Internet Of Things, ETSI, February 2008

12. Mobile / NFC : the StoLPaN project • StoLPaN (Store Logistics and Payment with NFC) is a pan-European consortium of companies, universities and user groups, supported by the European Commission’s IST program. RFID and The Internet Of Things, ETSI, February 2008

13. StoLPaN : concept • Research and develop a multi-application environment for NFC phones (StoLPaN HCI). • Increase value for content and services by utilizing the capability of the NFC phone: • Display, OTA, Secure Element • Contribute to the NFC ecosystem: • Business, Technical, Legal, Security and Regulatory RFID and The Internet Of Things, ETSI, February 2008

14. StoLPaN : project structure • Mobile Phone Track: to define secure interoperable operating environment for managing multiple 3rd NFC services on mobile devices to enable mass development. • Retail Track: to demonstrate the use of the methodology in high street phones and in-store support devices. RFID and The Internet Of Things, ETSI, February 2008

15. Common interface Different applications Security level Physical layer StoLPaN HCI • The StoLPaN consortium is working on a Java based mobile HOST application that will enable NFC mobile phones to run different applications within the same NFC chip in a transparent environment, neutralizing specifics of the handset design.
