2.2 NFC Function - Mobile Scansions

NFC (Near Field Communication) is a short-range wireless communication technology that allows devices to exchange data when they are close to each other, typically within a range of about 4 cm. Here's how it works:

Basic Principles:

  • Short-range communication: NFC devices, such as smartphones, card readers, or NFC tags, must be very close to each other to initiate data exchange.
  • Frequency: NFC operates at 13.56 MHz, a frequency that allows for fast and secure information exchange over short distances.
  • Active and Passive Modes:
    • In active mode, both devices generate an electromagnetic field to transmit data.
    • In passive mode, only one device generates the electromagnetic field (e.g., a smartphone), while the other device (e.g., an NFC tag) uses it to power itself and respond.

How NFC works in vtenext:

To activate and use this feature, a few configuration steps are required. First, from vtenext's administration panel, go to SETTINGS > MODULE MANAGER > COMPANIES (or another relevant module), and add a related field to the Mobile Scans module.
