Abstract

The recent NFC technology is not only valid for payment and ticketing, a new interaction form is also available. With the only action being to put a mobile phone close to another NFC device (reader, tag or mobile phone) it is possible to get a contactless communication supported by a server or not. Some services such as open doors, location, access, presence, and so on, can be performed with a simple touch. In this work we analyze the interaction through the adaptability of two technologies: RFID and NFC. Challenges in models have been considered. In addition, we are trying to put in practice the idea of tagging context and the awareness only with a single interaction by touch. For that, we consider the benefits to adapting NFC technology as a good approach to model contexts.
