Near Field Communications (NFC) as halal detection application

The objective of this study is to discover the advantages and disadvantages uses of Near Field Communications (NFC) as halal certificate detection. NFC is a type of wireless connectivity protocols, in which it allows reliable communications within devices in short range. Consumers can easily detect the halal status of the nearby restaurants as their phones will vibrates if the restaurants have the legal halal certificates in 500 meter distance. In addition, consumers can easily report to authorities about the fake halal logos of the restaurants using this system, with that an immediate action will be taken. However, it also discovers that NFC could bring several disadvantage such data loss and tag damage, technical limitations in the implementations of software card emulation and loss in security

Improving Mobile Solution Workflows and Usability Using Near Field Communication Technology

Abstract. Organisations want nowadays more controlled processes and easily usable solutions, but achieving them requires winning many challenges. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) based technology has been proposed for improving mobile solution workflows and usability. NFC (Near Field Communication) technology is based on integrating RFID on mobile devices. This paper identifies how NFC based systems could be used to improve mobile solution workflows and usability. The results of this study are based on the implementation of six pilot cases in 2005-2007. This paper concludes that use of NFC provides both advantages and disadvantages and, therefore, to estimate the potential of NFC, its pros and cons have to be weighed up for each case in question. This paper also concludes that only a comprehensive solution achieves the full potential of NFC from users ’ point of view. Considering mobile solution usability, this paper concludes that NFC based solutions are easy to use, but the small and limited keyboard of mobile devices poses challenges to the design of these solutions. NFC use poses new organizational challenges like need for the rest of the system to catch up and feeling of distrust from the user side
