NFC——功能研究

一、简介

从去年开始，就一直能够听到NFC这个新的名词，但是从来没有去深入了解过其中的大概。但是随着之后越来越频繁地听到这个词汇，自己也是终究要下定决心来彻底解决这件事情了。

二、策略

按照目前的获取知识的方式，当然是以百度百科为主了。但是出于科学的严谨的态度，还是需要一些英文的资料（WIKIPedia）。

三、实施过程

问：NFC功能是什么意思？

答：NFC功能是近距离无线通信功能，使用NFC技术的设备就具备有近距离无线通信功能。NFC意思是：近距离无线通信，简称近场通信。使用NFC技术的设备可以在彼此靠近的情况下进行数据交换。

与RFID一样，NFC信息也是通过频谱中无线频率部分的电磁感应耦合方式传递，但两者之间还是存在很大的区别。首先，NFC是一种提供轻松、安全、迅速的通信的无线连接技术，其传输范围比较RFID小，RFID的传输范围可以达到几米、甚至几十米，但由于NFC采取了独特的信号衰减技术，相对于RFID来说NFC具有距离近、带宽高、能耗低等特点。其次，NFC与现有非接触智能技术兼容，已经称为得到越来越多主要厂商支持的正式标准。

Wikipedia：NFC

Near-field communication (NFC) is a set of communication protocols that enables communication between two electronic devices over a distance of 4 cm or less. NFC offers a low-speed connection through a simple setup that can be used to bootstrap more-capable wireless connections.

NFC devices can act as electronic identity documents and keycards. They are used in contactless payment systems and allow mobile payment replacing or supplementing systems such as credict cards and electronic ticket smart cards. These are sometimes called NFC/CTLS or CTLS NFC, with contactless abbreviated as CTLS. NFC can be used to share small files such as contacts and for bootstrapping fast connections to share larger media such as photos, viedos, and other files.

Every active NFC device can work in one or more of three modes:

NFC card emulation

Enables NFC-enabled devices such as smartphones to act like smart cards, allowing users to perform transactions such as payment or ticketing. 

NFC reader/writer

Enables NFC-enabled devices to read information stored in inexpensive NFC tags embedded in tabels or smart posters.

NFC peer-to-peer

Enables two NFC-enabled devices to communicate with each other to exchange information in an ad hoc fashion.

四、总结

到最后关于NFC的认识结果就是得出了几个结论，其一是NFC的传输距离注定是比较小的，四厘米左右；其二是NFC的作用方式仍旧是使用电磁场的耦合作用。
