Touching Services: The Tag-NFC Structure 3rd Symposium of Ubiquitous Computing and Ambient Intelligence 2008

In an Ambient Intelligence Environment (AmIE), sensing technologies are crucial. Near field communication (NFC) technology is a step further in achieving the ideal vision. We propose the implementation of an AmIE with the single use of NFC technology (AmIE-NFC), which was developed in an environment with already existing computer infrastructure. In this environment, services from devices are controlled or requested simply by touching. We put a tag-NFC on each element or device. The tag-NFC contains the necessary information to connect an AmIE-NFC system. This work explains the tag-NFC structure to implement an AmIE-NFC.
