With tremendous digital transformation taking place in virtually all segments and all tangents of life and work, we are increasingly moving towards next-age technology resources and automation systems. People are opening up and looking to put up with advanced technological possibilities with authentic and purposeful supplies, powered by latest web and mobile resources. And that takes to a higher grid of communicative orientation with advanced functional properties powered by cutting-edge smart devices and intuitive apps.In this reference Near Field Communication has come out as one fine trait of modern communication dynamics – taking the process of connectivity and sharing to another level – simplifying and accentuating the way we approach our routine electronic activities and accomplish different daily tasks.
Well, have you ever seen a person flashing out a phone to wirelessly connect with a device for paying their purchase bills in a departmental store? He is actually using the device to wirelessly access the POS and make the transaction, automatically transferring the funds to the NFC-enabled system. This is called Near Field Communication or NFC in short. Which is simply a wireless radio communication technology like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth that wirelessly connects two different devices in a permissible range (through NFC tags) to establish a communication between them – which could be entering records, reading tags, doing payments, confirming an entry or maybe scanning an identity.
At home: By setting NFC tags at the home entrance, you can control your devices and home fittings through Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. You can even adjust different numerical arrays and point series (for tuning volume, temperature, or illumination) without touching the knobs and switches. You can even lock settings and validate accesses through a supported technology using an NFC-enabled control device.
Gym: While you are working out you can play your favorite playlist using the tags. To do this you just need to stick your tag to your sports bag, turn the flight mode on, and launch the playlist on your device. This can be set off by pressing the tag again as you are done with the workout.
Workplace: You can even make your phone behave in a certain way when at work using your NFC tags. Just by putting it up on your desk you can choose to control the volume or ringing modes of your smartphone or you can just turn on or put off your Wi-Fi as and when you wish.
Car: If you have Bluetooth facility or radio in your car, you can access them by connecting your NFC- enabled device to them. So, if you are too busy driving, attach the NFC tags to your wrist and take it to that range and you will get the thing done without pressing a button. Isn’t that useful!

A Typical Near Field Communication App
A typical NFC app allows you to not just read and write but also automate your tasks using the technology. By using integrated communication and web tags you can easily and effectively promote and advertise your products. Just by tapping on the device you can automate a task and control the connected device for functions generating tasks, managing them through a Wi-Fi network.
Besides, there are apps that help you launch and manage tasks and tools to control connected devices on the go. You also have NFC apps that let you select actions to write a tag and do various tasks like changing a device setting, making a call, sending a message or sharing a contact with your friend.
As the NFC technology progresses to meet ever-evolving user demands and spread out to serve various aspects of our life and work, they offer better roles and rewards by accentuating technological access and remote connectivity to another level of utility and benefits. And with such resourceful NFC apps coming in and playing such an active part of a powerful device handler with its intuitive interface, there are a lot of possibilities that can be expected to be coming in with NFC application development – making the technology exhibit more advanced and responsive roles in our lives.
