INTRODUCTION

Near Field Communication (NFC) is an emerging wireless
technology that is designed to facilitate secure ,shortrange communication between electronic.

In France, Philips, in collaboration with France Telecom,
Orange, Samsung, and retailer Group LaSer and Vinci
Park, carried out a trial in which participating residents
used the Samsung D500 mobile phones with the
embedded Philips NFC chip as a means of secured
payment in selected retail stores, parking facilities, and
to download information about famous tourist sites,
movie trailers and bus schedules.
INTRODUCTION

However, success of the NFC technology is also
dependent on the economics of scale and mass
adoption.

Currently, there are not many NFC phones available in
the market and it is also not reasonable to expect the
majority of the consumer market to switch over from
their non-NFC devices in a short timeframe.
NFC-BLUETOOTH BRIDGE SYSTEM

It comprises a Bluetooth enabled device, the proposed
NFC-Bluetooth Bridge and an NFC card which is
embedded on a smart poster.

In Fig. 2, the various
components, in the ordering
of the labels, are
(1) the Initium Promi SD 102
Bluetooth adapter,
(2) an antenna for the NFC
PN531,
(3) the NFC PN531 board,
(4) the power supply
distributor PCB, and
(5) a short custom-made
DCE-DCE serial cable
NFC-BLUETOOTH BRIDGE SYSTEM

The final Bluetooth-NFC Bridge product is expected to be
an embedded device of the size of today’s smallest MP3
player. The biggest portion of the body of the device will
likely be the battery compartment and the NFC antenna.

An alternative build (size of half a card) that draws power
from its host (such as a mobile phone) that can be
attached within the cover of the mobile phone is planned.
However, the feasibility is not confirmed at the point of
writing this paper.
Bluetooth Connection

The design of the software uses the Serial Port Profile (SPP)
over Bluetooth. The Bluetooth link between the Promi SD102
and the mobile phone encapsulates the serial information
between the mobile phone and the NFC PN531 as shown in
Fig. 4.
III. MOBILE COMMERCE APPLICATION
 In
the Merchant Card System (MCS), the
merchant requires only an RFID card as a
representation for payment of a certain product
or service he is selling.
 The
RFID card provides a specially designed URL,
unique to the product or service, to the
consumer’s mobile phone when they are
tapped onto each other.
 With
the URL, the mobile phone is connected to
the Goods and Payment Portal (GPP) on the
Internet.
Peer-To-Peer System

The Peer-to-Peer System (P2PS) provides electronic
transfer of cash between two owners of NFC-enabled
mobile phones based on the similar principle of the
MCS.

The mobile phones exchange a common URL and
connect to the GPP for fund transfer.

This system targets private transaction such as an E-Bay
meet-up transaction, and small time merchants who
do not wish to be burdened with the cost of owning
equipment for the other non-cash payment methods.
Application Software (Mobile Client)

The software is built as a MIDlet, a small program for
Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) compliant
devices, with Java 2 Platform Micro Edition (J2ME).

This factor is extremely crucial in simplifying the system for
mass consumers. The interface tool increases the range
of user interface options available and greatly improves
usability.
IV. CONCLUSIONS

With NFC technologies and the NFC-Bluetooth bridge
that offer consumers an alternative to purchasing new
NFC-enabled mobile phones, consumers are more
encouraged to adopt mobile payment.
 The NFC-Bluetooth bridge system proposed in this paper
opens an access to NFC-enabled services for a wider
market of consumers with non-NFC devices. The
merchant card system makes extensive use of the NFC
capabilities of future mobile phones and tremendously
lowers the merchants’ costs of transactions.

The low cost is expected to entice merchants to adopt
the system and serves as a good initiation for the
technology adoption.
