That’s where near-field communication (hereinafter referred as “NFC”) technology comes in. NFC is a short-range high-frequency wireless communication technology which enables the exchange of data between devices when they’re touched together or brought within a few centimetres of each other by using magnetic field induction.

Reportedly, on November 14, 2016, Inside Secure (INSD.PA) has announced that France Brevets have granted to HTC (mobile phone Company) a worldwide patent license under their NFC Patent Licensing Program for use in HTC’s products. [1]
