Whether for identification, payment or commercial support purposes,
NFC technology is now widely adopted by professionals and individuals.
But do you know about all the uses and advantages of NFC?
We already know about the access cards or contactless bank cards that save us some time every day.
But there are also several mobile applications made to simplify your life using the NFC technology.
By tapping your device near an NFC chip (a tag), these applications allow you to perform actions
and automate tasks that were once repetitive.
Before going to sleep, simply pass your phone over your NFC tag and it will automatically turn off the Wi-Fi,
will switch your sound profile to silence and turn on your alarm for the next day.
Quite practical isn't it?
Activate your Bluetooth, set an alarm, control the volume, play music, share a Wi-Fi network configuration, etc...
All these actions will be performed automatically without any effort.
With both simple and more complex actions, the possibilities are endless for the users.
This is why it is mainly the users who imagine these uses, because they directly correspond to their needs.
The Outware company in Australia appropriated this technology too and adapted it to provide
an original Wi-Fi access point designed entirely with a 3D printer and a NFC tag.
And passing customers in the company premises can connect to the Wi-Fi with a simple gesture.
For the most technophile of them (the "geeks"), conditions can be programmed on the NFC tag.
And the actions will be executed only if these said conditions are met.
For example check the schedule, if an application is installed on the device or the user's response to a question.
And for others, the NFC is directly in their home automation systems and connected objects
where each NFC tag will control their house: turning on lights, open blinds...
Sure, NFC has great potential in many areas.
But always with the same objective: make your life easier.
