i am interesting in NFC development. I did watch and read some topics about the NFC tag, it is wonderful how could you change your phone|table by just tap on the tags. But the tags are kind of passive.
I want a NFC device live-data configure from windows (using USB cable or something) then transmit that data to user (smartphone). The device would be read-only mode.
Would you guys give me some example device available? Thanks a ton
I was also looking for something like that... Have you found anything?

heres one for all you app developers out there,
having just purchased an acer aspire one 521 netbook, after upgrading the HDD from 160gb to 640GB, and adding some more ram, then swapping out the std wireless, to include int bluetooth, i have now connected this to my tv via hdmi, and am now looking for a keyboard/mouse that actually functions correctly, currently using a keyboard i got from maplins (but i will be returning it tomorrow as it keeps loosing the connection forcing me to reboot the keyboard.
it was while i was checking oput my SGS when i thought why not ask if is possible to make an app (i do not have the tech knowledge to do such a thing) to turn the touch screen into a bluetooth keyboard or mouse, via a toggle switch.
i have seen in the supported bluetooth profiles it can support bluetooth HID (human interface device) so im asking any app developer willing to take on such a task (you may even be able to charge for it in the market place), as currently there is no solution to this.

thing i don't like about gmote is that it requires server-software instead of just using bluetooth hid

thanks for the link, looks interesting, but im acutually looking for a keyboard/mouse (touch pad) to replace teh netbook one, so when the lid is closed, i can sit back and type on the phone screen.
calling rtfm (http://www.gmote.org/faq):
"Gmote can also be used as a wireless Touchpad and keyboard, allowing you to control your computer at distance."

Hello!
Currently I am writing my Master's thesis. For this I am supposed to use the NFC function of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus to turn on/off certain devices such as a flat iron or a stove.
My idea was to use an RFID access control as the ones used to open laboratory doors or the like and attach its relais to the devices' power switch. One could hold the phone next to the device to turn it on/off if permission is granted.
However, most of the access controls I've found are only for 125kHz. As far as I know NFC uses the ISO/IEC 14443 standard which communicates with 13.56MHz. What confuses me though is that some sources say it works with the NXP Mifare Ultralight C chipset but not with the Mifare Classic 1K. Can anyone explain why that is? But even more important to me is: has anyone a good suggestion on the access control I should use in my case?
I'd be happy about any reply!
Regards,

Just an Idea and hear me out...
As far as I remember most access control (Which I used to use about 7 years ago when I was working for a plant as a part time IT) is nothing but the right string of 101011010, a few bits of data stored on a magnetic strip on a card, or the older NFC chips that could changed, but only store 1 "Tag" at a time.
With most NFC chips in our newer smart phones we have the control to change the information that is broadcast by our NFC on the fly, and even better it is a two way transmission (Which is what makes Google wallet possible.)
If you were going to attempt to make a stove or other device turn off and on with an NFC chip, you would be better off not looking for an access control solution. I would try using another computer. Something that can be programmed with an NFC chip to receive a certain bit of code that says "Turn on front right burner at 50%" and then reply with a conformation saying when the action is complete.
A small Linux box, with an NFC and a single program, and Knowledge of external interfacing.
A smart phone with preset tags that can be chosen to do different actions, and wait for a confirmation.
I think that would be something new and applicable to the real world.
Hope this give you some ideas
After I get done with my current project I am going to make an android app that lets you create an NFC tag and write it to any tag, so people can program there router, stick an NFC Sticker to the side of your router any anyone with an NFC chip will have instant access to there network by touching the router.
Switching on a device using NFC
I have a similar requirement; i.e. to activate a device using NFC from a phone or smart tag. My question is whether the induction power of the NFC from the phone is sufficient to turn on a device that is an off state prior to this.

Yes , but such tag isn’t available online, such tag can be only order from specialized manufacturer, we are making some stuff will turn on & off bluetooth device, and it work like a charm. Need soldering to bypass the existing on/off button.
hope that help

Probably not, you will need something (small chip) that just listens for the right tag and handles it for you.

You can find pictures and a description of my set up here:
http://www.nfcbrief.com/2012/07/acr122-and-galaxy-nexus-connected-via.html
Basically, ACS released an application called Smart Biz Card that allows you to read and write contact NFC tags with the popular ACR122 connected via USB host. The application is only for tablets, so it will look strange on phone screens, but this can be fixed by entering tablet mode.
I'm sure many of you viewing this sub-forum also have a ACR122, so maybe this application will provide some clues as to unlocking more advanced features through external readers?

hi good job but i don't see the point ?? Nexus for example already have NFC so why connect ACR 122 ??

My thinking was that this sort of thing would be ideal for NFC hacking. The documentation for the ACR122 states that it can do card emulation (but everyone seems to be having trouble with it). If we could somehow get the drivers for the ACR122 working fully with Android, it would provide a good alternative to trying to access our phones' secure elements for card emulation.
This could also have some more practical uses, e.g. for event ticketing on a small scale?

i some point i agree with you, but i think will be (maybe) simpler to use the ACR122 in pc (mac/winbooze) and transfer it in some Android apps
but at least you are right card emulation it's a problem currently
ACS USB NFC reader
Hi
Have you actually had this working on a tablet? I have tried with a Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1 (2) and the reader is not recognised. Some other readers which have chipsets Samsung support are recognised and show up as an HID. But the ACR122U doesnt appear.

I would guess they are missing the mandatory drivers to use them. Btw, are you sure they are recognized as HID? They actually should be recognized as CCID, if I remember correctly. Can you confirm they actually work?
ACR122 on Galaxy
I have no idea where I would get drivers. ACD who produce the device have only given a lava library for access which seems to use direct USB calls. And it seems to have been broken with ICS.
Tjis Android world looks quite muddy from my first experiences

Hi all,
Is it possible to use NFC to pass data from a pc to a mobile app? I can't see why not, I guess it's just a case of sorting out the correct hardware and software! My need for this....
Transferring photographs from the phone to pc
Transferring strings of data from the pc to a phone application
I do have an ACS ACR122 usb reader already, but can't find any software to use.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks
Edit: sorry, wrong forum, this isnt Q&A in here. How do I move it?

LibNFC is your friend!
But id rather use Bluetooth. Up to you anyway

Yup LibNFC is the place to start, you could also try using the NFC just to do a handshake between the device and the PC then transfer the files over wifi or bluetooth much less hassle.
I would be interested in seeing the results of your work what ever you end up building.
Hi guys,
There is a question to Smartwatch owners.
Does anyone tried to use NFC tag in the watch to open a door or gain access on other RFID device?
I'm considering to buy a watch and the main reason to do it is abillity to use it at work, where I have to go through many doors where I use my Nexus 5 or just simple keyfob with Mifare chip.
I don't really understand, why companys like Sony, LG or Samsung cannot see this, that is a game changing feature .... There is until now, just one company which thinking about that.. but theirs watch isn't smart : http://www.winwatchtrade.com/the-key-nfc-mifare/
Be something that would be very cool, would have to see if NFC Tagwrier can be sideloaded..
Even if it worked on the watch, it may not create workable NFC tags,
Hope somebody tries this. I did try but was not able to read any NFC tags

Tried and worked with an HID iClass R10 Card Reader. Problem is that the watch's nfc sends the same info from all Sony SW3's, so not secure.
