As a near field communication technology, NFC has a very wide range of applications, and common ones are mobile payment, channel inspection, automobiles, smart homes, industrial control, and so on. With the continuous evolution of the smart home scene, a large part of NFC devices will appear in the living room in the future.
For the application of the interconnected smart home era, NFC technology can increase the ease of device use, security, etc., which can largely change our daily home life.
It can be seen that the application of NFC technology can bring the following four benefits to smart homes:
(1)NFC simplifies device setup
Because NFC provides wireless communication function, fast connection between devices can be realized through NFC. For example, through the NFC function, users only need to touch, users can transfer the video on the smartphone to the set-top box, can instantly open the channel between mobile phones, tablets, TVS, multimedia resources sharing between different devices becomes easy.
(2) Use NFC to develop personalized functionsIf a user wants to display a specific channel every time they turn on the TV, turn off the sound at the same time to be able to select a program or view a title without disturbing anyone else in the room. With NFC technology, personalized control lets you control it all at your whim.
(3)NFC brings better information protection
With the continuous improvement of social informatization, we use online services more and more frequently, and many people are concerned about the security of personal identity information. Using NFC keeps all information private and secure, allowing users to do everything with confidence. For example, debugging a smart device, buying a new game, paying for video on demand, topping up a transportation card – none of this puts your personal information at risk or puts you at risk of identity disclosure.
(4) More efficient networking debugging
With the continuous increase of smart products, adding new smart device nodes to the smart home network will be a high-frequency demand. Because NFC can trigger other wireless communication protocols, no matter what kind of device you want to add Bluetooth, ZigBee or Wi-Fi to your home network, you only need to touch the node device with NFC and the home gateway to complete the device networking. And this way can also eliminate other “unwanted” nodes to add, better user experience, higher security level.
