Home > NXP: NFC mobile payment will allow the market to break into the Internet of Things

NFC is by NXP formerly Philips, Nokia and Sony jointly developed based on RFID technology, although this technology in Japan was a considerable degree of widespread use, but has been set off in the global market is not much of a trend, but since Apple last year began to build after payment to the NFC-based Apple Pay, NFC things become another remarkable communication technologies, and to the NFC chip business based NXP semiconductor plant, also recently released a survey report for the NFC ethnic groups. According to Mr Chan Chi, general manager of NXP Taiwan pointed out that according to the survey IHS Global in 2013, only 18.2 percent of the phone configuration NFC, but until 2018 there will be 64% of the phone configuration NFC, the number will reach 1.2 billion units, while in 2015 it is expected to be at least 600 million units of mobile phones nearly configuration NFC. Originally because of the distance, the transmission rate and other restrictions and let the NFC in the era of the Internet of Things has not been much attention, but can quickly NFC pairing feature, not only can be used with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi for fast pairing, but also with mobile payment needs against the clock characteristics coincide, and thus make NFC mobile payments became an important player in many smart phones in order to follow the mobile payment grabbed opportunities will begin to launch NFC machine configuration section. NXP NXP: NFC mobile payment will allow the market to break into the Internet of Things In the era of things, smart phones are considered important things "media" in the development of hardware and software giants to mature stage, the phone can easily via Bluetooth, NFC, Zigbee and other connection methods and other items linked Once more and more mobile phones because mobile payments and NFC chip configuration, also represents an opportunity to be able to getting things through the use of NFC thing. NXP's report was released in the venue, there are also showcase some of the relevant application technology. For example you can set the bus stop stop sign NFC chip, as long as mobile sensors look, you can know the next one bus arrival time; set of traffic lights at the intersection NFC chip, sensing what you can open a map, so that passers-by know their current location where it is. These are readily available with NFC technology can be an example of the practical application of things. NXP NXP: NFC mobile payment will allow the market to break into the Internet of Things According to NXP's own surveys indicate that, if it is in a non-contact technology market, the company currently has 85% of the city should be a percentage, currently including Apple, Bosch, Continental Automotive, Nokia Siemens, Huawei, Samsung, ZTE, etc. all of the company's OEM customers. Can also be said that semiconductor manufacturers in the non-contact technology, which the company now seems to have attached considerable importance Things market, although there have been some use of NFC electronic payment products on the market, the survey conducted by the company pointed out that there Liucheng consumers use electronic payments will, however, to promote electronic payment card or two problems as soon as possible: Regulatory and safety. NFC promotion, mature environment and safety are indispensable Mr Chan Chi said the company is now moving to pay close attention to the relevant laws and regulations related to the problem, after all the things to pay serious matter, you need to be open-minded government culture industry, although currently include Taichung e cartoons, travel card, adopted the NFC technology, but in the current electronic payment market is still not mature in Taiwan, and therefore there is need for government and manufacturers of hand coordination. According to a survey released by the company said, in fact, nearly 60% of workers are willing to use mobile payment, but many people are still skeptical maintain security, especially since last year's outbreak of considerable hacking incidents, and thus allow consumers for electronic payment security, lack of confidence. NXP said that this part of the need to involve hardware encryption and software encryption technology, the company's own security chip products, for example, said the company's encryption technology has been close military grade encryption technology, to break the difficulty can be said is quite high, it is almost you can guarantee a safe and secure hardware encryption, but on the phone theft is another level issues, if not from intercept and crack encrypted transmission, consumers may have a NFC device or stolen, fraudulent doubts, this part it relies on similar Touch ID's biometric identification technology prevented. For now, NXP considerable hopes to become a leader in electronic payments into the things NFC market, and with the current market environment, if security concerns can be resolved, and that the environment should also mature faster rate than expected , and the use of NFC and Bluetooth make up Wi-Fi connection time, perhaps expecting a sufficient connection technology.
