A RADIO FREQUENCY COMMUNICATION DEVICE

摘要

An RFC (including NFC) adapter device is provided that can be associated with a mobile communications device, typically a mobile phone, to extend the capabilities of the communications device. The adapter device has a body housing a radio frequency antenna, a processor for processing signals and a communications connector that is connectable to a port of the mobile communications device so that the adapter device may send and receive electronic signals to and from the communications device in a first electronic format and convert the electronic signals between the first electronic format and a radio frequency format in which it is capable of being transmitted or received by the adapter device cooperating with a second RFC device or a co-operant RF reader device in close proximity to it. The adapter device preferably connects with an audio input/output port of the mobile communications device. The adapter device preferably has a unique identifier associated with it and stored in an electronic memory module housed within the body.
