Apple hasn't launched a device yet
taking advantage of the possibilities of chipsNFCbut this does not
could not be long and we could very well see this happening with thenext iPhone. Bearer of many promises in the
area of contactless electronic payment, it is still difficult
to understand what this technology could bring us
daily.
But that's without taking into account Apple's research and patent filings, which are very
active in the field. Latest information, a description of the house
of the future, driven by an iPhone or iPad capable of communicating and controlling
many domestic devices, from TV to our various satellite Boxes or
ADSL via television and ambient temperature:
To do this, the iPhone detects surrounding objects via NFC chips and
then loads the applications allowing them to be controlled.
An alternative method is proposed consisting of taking note of the
surrounding objects by reading a QR code via the camera
l’iPhone.
Of course, in addition to the addition of NFC chips, this patent if it is very broad and
particularly detailed (more than 100 pages), implies compatibility
widespread use of devices with the iPhone via communication technology
type WiFi or Bluetooth that we won't see coming tomorrow. But it allows
ofbetter realize the interaction between objects which should
born in the future with the generalization of NFC.
Beyond this patent which makes you dream, there remains a major question... When
will we see this happen in our homes... And before that, when will NFC in
nos iPhone.
Let's bet on around 5 years? But until then, will Apple offer us
an iPhone 5 (or 6 or new iPhone)with
NFC ?Answer in the fall!
