DineTender - personal offer system using M3

DineTender is a peek to the future how contactless services will create value for both end-users as well as for the companies. The idea of this service is to provide a possibility for the customers to receive special offers from restaurants. In practice, the users touch NFC tag in the restaurant and thus connect themselves to restaurant's local "smart space". For restaurants, the smart space offers a smooth way to be in touch with their customers in a modern way. Technologies used in service are Near Field Communication (NFC) and M3 (http://www.open-m3.org/), which is interoperability solution for ubiquitous environments. This concept is in prototyping phase.

Combining NFC and augmented reality

Combination of augmented reality and NFC brings virtual world closer to the user and provides a way to show virtual objects on top of static tags. Not only the users have information from the tag but they have a possibility for an easy and rich interaction.

SeeingEyePhone

SeeingEyePhone is an idea to provide audible information to visually impaired people by using NFC technology. SeeingEyePhone was the first place winner in First European NFC Competition, Track B “Most Innovative NFC Proposal of the Year 2007”.

Hot in the City

HOT in the CITY is the - first in the world - mobile social media service that uses Near Field Communication, NFC enabled mobile phones as friend connection platform. This mobility brings a whole new way of looking at friend connections and friend networks. Location creation is based on NFC tags, which and are easy to create and use. Using NFC tags for location and events gives opportunities to new business.

Enhancing services in web and real world with smart cards

Service enables the management of several identities in different online services. It also enables single-sign-on functionality so user doesn't have to remember the login credentials of every individual service. Adding new supported services for the card can be done via internet.

Secure mobile access to cloud based services

Service provides secure access to different cloud services using mobile phone with secure element. Single sign-on to services is also provided enhancing both ease of use and security of services. New services can be added dynamically to phone using token based authentication.
