A patent recently granted to Apple details
a method of integrating an RFID reader directly into the screen of a
portable touch screen device.
This process will save space and further strengthens a
little more the idea of the integration of contactless technologies in
l’iPhone.
Let's find out in more detail what it is:
This patent published on Tuesday therefore accounts for the integration of an RFID sensor
directly into the touch screen circuits.
As a reminder, RFID allows the simple bringing together of objects to exchange
information, seeour articles on
subject.
The invention described here therefore makes it possible todo without an antenna
RFIDand at the same time saves a lot of space. In
Indeed, the loops of the antenna would be integrated on a layer of metal already
existing for the touch screen.
This patent is added to others such as "iD App" or that aimed at
connect to a wifi network using RFID chips.
The "ID App" project would aim to pair an RFID reader, a
camera and an IR image capture device to identify
objects, such as a painting in a museum in order to obtain advantages
information. A sort of shazam of everyday life to see in the
diagram below.
The rumor of the use of contactless technologies by Apple
been browsing the web for some time, you can in particular
find this in this article. Obviously, and like every time
When we talk about patents, it is important to note thatces inventions
are research, tests and that they may remain so
be.
The question to ask is probably when will the iPhone be equipped with
NFC technology and above all for what use. And in this little game, only Apple can
answer.
