If you think NFC can only be used in Google Wallet or MasterCard paypass, it is wrong, because NFC can be used far more than that.
With the increase in the number of NFC mobile phones, NFC tags have become a common method to use this emerging technology. However, many Android users still do not know how to use these tags. Now try using these innovative methods to use your NFC tag.
NFC tag usage in various places
There is no doubt that Android users usually use NFC tags to more efficiently adjust a series of system settings for frequent locations. For example:
At home
Place the NFC tag on the door and set it to do something like enable Wi-Fi, enable the light, disable Bluetooth, or automatically synchronize. With the NFC task launch application, you can set the tag to "Switch". When you leave the room, you can touch the tag again to change these settings (such as disabling Wi-Fi)
Driving hours
Place the NFC tag near the dashboard or intermediate Control Panel to disable Wi-Fi, increase the volume, or enable Bluetooth (mobile phone ). If your mobile phone is connected to the horn in the car, you can set a tag to open an application like Pandora.
Prepare for work
Place the NFC tag on the table surface and set it to obscure the light, turn off the sound, enable Wi-Fi, or automatically synchronize. Based on your preferences, you can also set it to enter the music app, open daily events, or even log on to Foursquare. If you set the tag to a switch, you can touch it again when you leave to close previous activities.
Bedside table
You can also place the label on the bedside table and set it to turn off the sound, turn on the alarm, turn off automatic synchronization, turn off the light reminder, and turn down the light.
Unknown usage and unique ideas
Connect to Wi-Fi
If you want your guests at home (or in the office) to use Wi-Fi without a password, you may use instawifi. This free Android app allows you to set NFC tags so that mobile phones or mobile devices can connect to wi-fi by accessing NFC devices.
Enable timer automatically
Have you ever tried to turn on the washing machine and forget it when you leave? Place a label next to the washer or dryer to start the timer.
Quickly open specific Evernote notes
Touchanote is a free app that won an award in the Note Software developer competition. You can use it to set tags to directly connect specific notes. Their demonstration includes setting tags to open the pending items or opening tags next to the product to open the product manual.
NFC key chain
You can attach an NFC tag to an existing key chain, or customize an NFC key chain online to set it to do what you often do. You can change your phone to a hotspot mode or open your favorite songs.
Future Use
NFC can make our lives more convenient, so it will be more widely used in the future. Here are several examples:
Open door
Surprisingly, this technology already exists, but it is still not widely used. Lockitron has developed an easy-to-install system. You can open the door with a wave of your phone on the door handle. If you have a family or friends who want to enter the door, you can open the door for them far away. However, the high price of $295 is an obstacle to its popularity.
Bluetooth matching
Soon we will be able to see the appearance of Bluetooth or Wi-Fi speakers with built-in NFC. With them, the mobile phone or mobile device can match the speaker through contact. This solution has gradually emerged. For example, Google's music transfer device nexus Q has NFC.
Safer Online Shopping
One of the notable functions of NFC is to make online shopping safer. For example, connect a small NFC device to a laptop. A user must use an NFC credit card on the connected device before making a purchase. Unlike in the past, the user does not need to enter his/her password, but on his/her credit card (or mobile phone) before completing the purchase) draw gestures.
Traveling with NFC
Last year, Nordic Airlines introduced the popularity of a smart passport.ProgramIt sends custom NFC tags to regular customers. These labels are placed on the back of the phone, not only replacing the boarding passport, but also allowing these customers to perform priority checks or even access the VIP terminal.
In the future, more customers will invest in NFC phones, airports, event centers, gymnasiums, cinemas, and more places, allowing customers to replace paper tickets with NFC phones.
