Method and system for managing data in a near field communication network

摘要

A method and system for managing data between a plurality of electronic devices in a Near Field Communication (NFC) network are provided. The method is performed at a first electronic device. A request is received from a second electronic device to send context data. The context data is then represented in accordance with a context Record Type Definition (RTD). The context RTD is used for defining context data in the NFC network. The context data that is represented in accordance with the context RTD is exchanged with the second electronic device.

1. A method for managing data between a first electronic device and a second electronic device in a Near Field Communication (NFC) network, the method performed at the first electronic device and comprising the steps of:
receiving a request at the first electronic device from the second electronic device to send context data when the first electronic device and the second electronic device are in close proximity to one another, wherein the context data changes based on an environment of a user of the first electronic device by updating, by the first electronic device, the context data with information of sensors received from an aggregator which aggregates the information from the sensors; representing the context data in accordance with a context Record Type Definition (RTD), wherein the context RTD is used to define context data in the NFC network; exchanging the context data that is represented in accordance with the context RTD with the second electronic device; and encapsulating the context data with control parameters in the context RTD prior to exchanging the context data with the second electronic device.
