Nexus を用いたNFC(Near Field Communication)認証機能による出席管理システム

摘要

Near Field Communication (NFC) standards cover communications protocols and data exchange　formats, which are based on existing radio-frequency identification (RFID) standards. In Japan, Felica card is apopular way to identify the unique ID. Recently, the attendance management system (AMS) with RFID　technology has been developed as a part of Smart University, which develops the educational infrastructure using　high technologies, such as ICT. However, the reader/writer for Felica is too expensive to build the AMS. NFCtechnology includes not only Felica but other type IC chips. The Android OS 2.3 and the later can provide access to NFC functionality. Therefore, we developed AMS for university with NFC on Nexus 7. However, the specified NFC chip such as ISO-14443 Type B cannot be recognized by the system, because the chip is required theauthentication to use.
