Non-contact technology makes FeliCa easier to use

NFC is short for Near Field Communication, which is short for Near-range wireless Communication technology. A non-contact identification and interconnection technology developed by Sony, known as Felica in Japan, is a happy Card. It is made up of "Happy Felicity" and "Card" in English.

The non-contact technology makes FeliCa more convenient and convenient to use. Data transmission can be achieved without inserting a terminal reading and writing slot. At the same time, the data in the card can be written and reused multiple times, and has a high degree of reliability, which is difficult to be copied or forged. Therefore, it is widely used in Japan. The main application aspects are as follows:

ID card

Felica is used as a student card in many universities to solve a series of problems such as unified access control for school equipment, utilization of school buses, borrowing books, and payment for dining in the canteen.

In the Japanese chain Tipness fitness club, customers can use the Locker in Tipness by using this wearing button-type Felica, through access control and using a variety of fitness equipment.

Enterprises or departments with high security requirements can control users or use permissions by setting vpcs equipped with Felica. The user must use his/her own idcard to use the computer.

Home Appliances equipped with Felica

PlayStation3 comes with the Felica technology, which can be Online download and paid by mobile phone or electronic currency.

For a Felica keyboard, you only need to place your smartphone in the middle of the keyboard to type and reply to long emails through the keyboard. No Wired connection or charge is required. Very cool, very convenient.

Medical devices

Household sphygmomanometer, blood glucose meter, and weight meter are uploaded to the computer through Felica. You can easily measure the daily blood sugar, blood pressure, and body weight changes. Form a graphical chart to help patients monitor their own health status, and provide detailed data basis for doctor diagnosis.

NFC technology is so popular in Japan, not only for its convenience and security. Sony has built a complete solution for sellers and individual users. At the same time, we also cooperated with mobile phone operators to vigorously promote cell phone embedded chip payment. In the end, all three aspects will be profitable. Consumers are easy to use and can get credit card points (such as Edy) through Felica payment ). Sellers complete the O2O closed loop, which can analyze consumers' personal behaviors and refine consumer groups for targeted target marketing. Mobile phone operators and Sony make profits by earning the seller's Felica payment and selling equipment.

The commercialization of NFC technology involves the efforts of payment habits, banking and financial institutions, communication operators, mobile phone manufacturers, and offline merchants. I personally think that it is because there is not only an oligarchy in all aspects, but also fierce competition (such as communication operators competing for personal mobile phone user groups) that promotes the distribution of benefits, in the end, the near-field payment and NFC technology will be promoted in various fields.
