Use of gemstones with embedded near field communication chips for communication with NFC enabled devices

摘要

Jewelry incorporating gemstones embedded with near field communication (NFC) chips. Methods of sharing electronic messages using NFC gems by using an NFC enabled device to wirelessly upload an electronic file to a remote computer system over the Internet, wirelessly writing information to an NFC chip embedded in a gemstone, the information including mapping information for accessing the uploaded electronic file and executable instructions to launch and direct a web browser to the electronic file; providing the NFC gem in close proximity to a same or different NFC device to establish near field communication; transferring the information from the NFC chip to the same or different NFC device; and executing the instructions to wirelessly access the electronic file over the Internet.

主权项

1. A method of sharing electronic messages through a near field communication (NFC) gem, the method comprising:
a) providing an NFC device with memory; b) providing an NFC gem in close proximity to the NFC device to establish near field communication, wherein the NFC gem is a gemstone having an embedded NFC chip with memory formatted for writing and rewriting, wherein the NFC chip is preloaded with executable instructions to identify whether or not a communicating NFC device is loaded with NFC software for writing to NFC chips or a predetermined version of NFC software and if not, opening and directing a web browser of the NFC device to a web page offering the NFC software for download; c) running NFC software on the NFC device; d) generating a new electronic file; e) using the NFC device to wirelessly upload the electronic file to a remote computer system over the Internet; f) wirelessly writing information to the NFC chip, the information comprising mapping information for accessing the uploaded electronic file and executable instructions to launch and direct a web browser to the electronic file; g) providing the NFC gem in close proximity to a different NFC device to establish near field communication; h) running NFC software on the same or different NFC device; i) transferring the information from the NFC chip to the different NFC device; and j) executing the instructions to wirelessly access the electronic file over the Internet.
