NFC Forum has set two new specifications for near-field
communication-equipped devices. The Generic Control RTD specification
sets a standard communication protocol for requesting a specific
action, such as launching an application. The Connection Handover
specification will help two NFC-equipped devices pair other wireless
communications, such as Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. This specification, in
particular, will be important for other standards bodies for creating
interoperable services and standards. It will enable two NFC devices to
come in range, and then initiate the proper sequence of events to pair
for things such as file transfers. The end result should be easier
pairing and setting up of services for end users. more at NFC Forum » / more info »
