See that funky looking N in the top left helping hand corner of that iPhone? That’s the functionary NFC, now known as N-Mark, logo.
Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) patent of invention 20,100,082,784, which was filed in September 2008 and published last workweek, is called “System and method for simplified resource share-out” and that’s exactly what NFC enables. When II NFC devices touch, they immediately shape a connection and can start transferring information. No more fumbling around with business cards at conferences and meetings, no more having to ask someone for their earpiece number, no more having to eccentric a word or phrase into a Google (NSDQ: GOOG) search loge or lining up your camera, then wait, to CAT scan a barcode, but the most kick-nookie use of NFC is as a defrayment method.
People in Japan have been using NFC enabled devices for days now, and they can pay for practically anything using nonentity but their mobile earpiece. Some of the newer apartments even have NFC enabled room access locks, so you tin can literally leave the house with nothing but your mobile earpiece and some form of photo designation and have the burden of memory where your keys and wallet are removed from your cognizance.
Anyway, backrest to this Apple patent, this isn’t just for the iPhone, this is for practically all Apple products. Check out some more images after the jump.
