NFC Tools

NFC Tools is the name of a mobile application developed for Android smartphones. Thanks to it, owners of phones will be able to create programmable tags (contactless payment is provided). This contributes to the automation of one-type actions of the device.

Note taking

In fact, an NFC tag is a small in size thin chip. Such a utility makes it possible to record any information on it. For example, text data, cell phone numbers or links to a website. Once the data is recorded, it can be read out at any convenient time. The advantage of NFC tags is that they do not need to be connected to a power source. Such chips facilitate automation of routine operations. For example, when the owner brings the cell phone to the tag, he will be able to configure one of these actions:

• start the silent mode on the device;
• sending sms;
• launch this or that application;
• connecting to wi-fi;
• opening a page in social networks ("Twitter", "VKontakte" and so on);
• dialing a phone number.

It is possible to program one chip to perform a number of operations simultaneously. Some tags have support for the function of overwriting information.

Data reading and protection

The utility under consideration is able to read data that have been recorded on the NFC-chip. If necessary, you can find out information about the manufacturer, technologies used, serial number of the gadget. If you want to protect the data from unauthorized overwriting, you should think about installing a password. Then NFC-tag can only be read.
