NEAR FIELD COMMUNICATION (NFC) METHOD, APPARATUS, AND SYSTEM EMPLOYING A CELLULAR-COMMUNICATIONS CAPABLE COMPUTING DEVICE

摘要

Cellular-capable computing device and a related system and methodology are disclosed. The computing device includes a touch screen display, one or more processors, a memory device, and a first near field communication (NFC) module and first NFC antenna configured to be communicatively coupled to a second NFC module and second NFC antenna of an electronic device. The computing device includes a network transceiver configured to communicate with a cellular communications network. The memory device stores one or more applications configured to be executed by the one or more processors, and the computing device is configured to transmit to the at least one electronic device a representation of one or more electronic credentials stored in the at least one memory device based on the first NFC antenna being within a radio frequency (RF) field of the second NFC antenna.
