NFC allows us to create physically interactive experiences
What can I do with NFC?
"  Enable users to interact securely and efficiently with their environment
"  Tap to share; Tap to pair; Tap to pay; Tap to access; Tap to…
"  Smart Tags: Tags can give the user information or automate common tasks
!  Tag reading and writing is supported
"  Tag Emulation: Tag functionality can also be replicated by the phone’s NFC antenna
"  Ticketing and Access: Allow users to gain access to workplaces, secure areas,
theatres, events, trains, buses etc.
!  BlackBerry - first phones to be HID-enabled, replacing security access badges
"  Data Exchange: Exchange pictures, messages or electronic items between devices
!  Automatically configure/connect devices by tapping them together
5
Where might we find NFC?
6
Potential Experience: Enterprise
"  You’re due to attend a meeting in room 1234
"  As you enter room tap your BlackBerry on an NFC
Tag by the door
!  This launches an app that senses your location by the tag’s
data
"  It matches this to your calendar and understands that
you’re in a meeting
!  Your attendance is at the meeting is registered
!  It adapts your phone’s settings ( vibrate etc. ) for the meeting’s
duration
Potential Experience: Consumer
"  You’re in your favourite coffee shop buying a well-
earned Flat White – your phone senses your location!
"  You’re about to pay for your coffee using your NFC
Smart Phone
!  Your phone understands that you in a favourite location and
receive a message from the vendor’s BBM Channel offering a
loyalty voucher
!  It adapts and suggests that you might like to add a nice
Danish for a free – you think this is a great idea!
"  You use NFC to redeem the voucher and you use
NFC to pay for your coffee and free Danish!

Smart Triggers

Smart Triggers
"  You no longer need to write
code to trigger events!
"  By tapping a tag you can:
!  Set an alarm
!  Launch an application
!  Change network settings
!  Change Wallpaper
!  Change Notifications
"  Let’s see a demo!
NFC Peer to Peer Mode
19
What is it?
Transfer data from one device to another&
•  Share information just by touching
Any kind of data&
•  Photos, music files, address book contacts are typical examples&
For larger items let NFC negotiate a Bluetooth connection&
•  No need for the usual BT pairing process&
•  Simple!

How some see NFC P2P
"  Revolutionising P2P voice communications?
25
...probably not !
But it did get me thinking….
"  Could this old classic be updated using NFC?

What are we emulating?
"  Cards of course.....

"  But not these types of card....
What are we emulating?
"  We’re emulating Smart Cards

Enabling NFC Payments
"  Enable users to pay conveniently, quickly
and securely

"  Pay for goods or services using your NFC-
enabled BlackBerry device similarly to how
you use a credit/debit card PayPass,
payWave or Flash technologies
"  BlackBerry - first phones certified by
MasterCard and Visa for NFC payments
