Implementation Overview
A Symbian NFC device has different operating
modes: Reader
NFC Applications
• Reader/writer: when reader is polling for a passive /writer

NFC tag NFC Interfaces
• Peer to Peer: communicate with another NFC device
• Card Emulation: where the NFC modem can poll for Services
Peer to Peer & adaptation
another NFC device and establish a data connection *
Base Band

Symbian NFC device have one mode active at a time. Switching between modes (polling
NFC
cycle) happens automatically and is not visible for the phone user. Card NFC Controller Antenna
Emulation*
NFC is by default polling / listening, but polling stops when device has been idle for a
certain amount of time. Then the NFC is listening, and polling can be woken up e.g.
by tapping the display.

* not supported in
Symbian Anna / Belle

Communication Protocol (LLCP)
– Enables connectionless and connection oriented
communication between two NFC Forum Devices
• Use cases
– Exchanging data between applications (credentials,
virtual goods, sessions)
– Easy handover to Bluetooth transfer


Secure NFC

• Card emulation
– Phone acts as a contactless credit/debit card
– Phone acts as a contactless travel card (in public
transport)
– Continue using existing contactless infrastructure
• Credentials and other secure information is stored
and provisioned securely (to Secure Element)
• Secure Element can be on Device, SIM card, SD card
• Use Cases Not supported in Symbian Anna/Belle
– Mobile payment
– Ticketing


NFC tags vs. Barcodes

– Works by touching, instant – No NFC HW required
– Design can be merged with product – Easily recognizable
– Larger data storage possible
– Multiple use cases (app launch, BT pairing)
– Re-writable (if desired)

– Requires NFC HW – Inconvenient (camera, focus, take picture)
– New to consumers – Large visual impact on product
– Very limited data storage
– Limited use cases (no app launch, BT pairing)
– Write-only
